Hello Gordon, Thanks for the reply.
I do have an alternative to share BasicDataSource(from apache commons dbcp library) Object. I thought that it might be best if we leave db connection pooling outside of the actual business flow so I confiured it as a spring bean. With this way , only one class can deal with Spring context loading. However, just like ApplicationContext, It is not serializable . Do you think that I should serialize BasicDataSource object and share it across flink operators as needed ? If that is the case, then I should either use an existing custom serializer or write one myself.
