Martijn,
I think we mean the same but using different words. Yes, there is a binary
incompatible change in Scala 2.12. This is also a significant road bump to
make a decision whether to upgrade Flink' Scala version. But there are
other issues identified by multiple people in that Jira ticket. I co
Hi Alexey,
I would argue that it's not a problem from Flink's source code, the problem
was that Scala introduced a binary incompatible change in Scala 2.12.8. If
Flink wanted to allow an upgrade, it would mean breaking snapshot
compatibility. That's why Flink is still bound to be used with Scala

Hi Martijn,
Thanks for your reply and attention.

This doesn't necessarily mean that we need a Scala API, because a beefed
up type extraction could also solve this.

Hi Günter, David,
Let me reply to you both in one email. First of all, thank you for
engaging.
Günter:
- I fully agree that losing Scala API as officially supported in Flink
would be very unfortunate. Future of Scala is interesting and will bring
more benefits to Flink users.
Just to remind ever

For the past couple of years, there have been no maintainers for Scala in
the Flink community.

Hi Alexey,
I'm a bit skeptical because, looking at the project, I see a couple of red
flags:
- The project is inactive. The last release and commit are both from the
last May.
- The project has not been adapted for the last two Flink versions, which
signals a lack of users.
- All commits are by a
Hello Alexey
Thank you for your initiative and your suggestion!
I can only fully support the following statements in your email:
