Biao Liu commented on FLINK-31167: ---------------------------------- Hi [~mapohl] , As you mentioned, the new method with context were introduced to replace the old one. Let's take the {{finalizeGlobal}} as an example. If we do not provide the default implementation for {{finalizeGlobal(int)}} and someone wants to use the new method with context, he has to implement both {{finalizeGlobal(int)}} and {{finalizeGlobal(FinalizationContext)}} even the former one means nothing to him. That's not we expect users to do. The {{finalizeGlobal(int)}} works for the legacy codes, and {{finalizeGlobal(FinalizationContext)}} works for the new implementation. Users only need to implement one of them. It's sort of like how SinkFunction is handled in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7552. I think it's not a breaking change however it could not pass the japicmp checking. > Verify that no exclusions were erroneously added to the japicmp plugin > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-31167 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-31167 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Matthias Pohl > Assignee: Matthias Pohl > Priority: Major > > Verify that no exclusions were erroneously added to the japicmp plugin that > break compatibility guarantees.
