aljoscha opened a new pull request #13360: URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/13360
## What is the purpose of the change Please see the ML thread for details: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r6d5c44e88d2d0fa187df6093694d6ad40c08561492c55b826b7231e7%40%3Cdev.flink.apache.org%3E In short, 0.10.x and 0.11.x are very old and you can use the "modern" Kafka connector to connect to older brokers/clusters. Plus, if push comes to shove, users can use the code from 1.11 and compile it against a newer Flink release. ## Brief change log - remove all Kafka 0.10 and 0.11 connector code, including sql connectors and tests - update tests/examples to use modern connector where they were using the 0.10 connector - update the documentation to remove mentions of 0.10 and 0.11 ## Verifying this change This doesn't add code, so no need for new tests. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): no - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: yes, we remove something - The serializers: no - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): no - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Kubernetes/Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: no - The S3 file system connector: no ## Documentation Documentation is updated to remove mentions of Kafka 0.10 and 0.11. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
