A friendly nudge – any thoughts from the community?
Kind regards, David.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Plans for JDBC connector for 1.20?
Hi,
Is there a plan to release the JDBC for Flink 1.20? Apologies if this is
already in hand, I could not find anything:
* I notice that the last JDBC connector content corresponding to Flink 1.19
contained minimal content.
* The main branch – now has a pom with 1.20 and contains a massive amount
of content compared to 1.19, which has minimal cherry picked fixes in.
* So the worry is that we have a large amount of unshipped code in main,
amplified by the fact that there is introduces support for many new databases.
* The latest code appears to have open lineage support with
https://github.com/apache/flink-connector-jdbc/pull/137 so I assume the main
code is now not compatible with Flink 1.19
Thinking about how to move this forward. Some options:
1. I am wondering is there an appetite to cut main into a new 1.20
compatible release pretty much as-is
2. We could do a 1.19 and 1.20 compatible release like the Kafka connector
3.3 and a 1.20 open lineage release like the Kafka connector 3.4, with minimal
critical backported fixes.
I am keen to do option 1), as the main code will otherwise continue to diverse
from what we release. I wonder what manual per database testing would be
required; to reassure us all the new database support actually works. Or is the
existing automated testing enough?
If we get some consensus on approach, I can help drive this, as this is going
to be an inhibitor for many of us in the community to migrate to Flink 1.20 and
subsequently to Flink v2.
Kind regards, David.
