Hi folks, We at Criteo are active users of the Flink on Mesos resource management component. We are pretty heavy users of Mesos for scheduling workloads on our edge datacenters and we do want to continue to be able to run some of our Flink topologies (to compute machine learning short term features) on those DCs. If possible our vote would be not to drop Mesos support as that will tie us to an old release / have to maintain a fork as we’re not planning to migrate off Mesos anytime soon. Is the burden something that can be helped with by the community? (Or are you referring to having to ensure PRs handle the Mesos piece as well when they touch the resource managers?)

I second Konstantin and Xintong in the sense that our Mesos user's opinions should matter most here. If our community is no longer using the Mesos integration, then I would be +1 for removing it in order to decrease the maintenance burden.

With my developer hat on, removing the Mesos support would definitely reduce the maintaining overhead for the deployment and resource management related components. On the other hand, the Flink on Mesos users' voices definitely matter a lot for this community. Either way, it would be good to draw users attention to this discussion early. Thank you~ Xintong Song On Fri, Oct 23, 2020 at 7:53 PM Konstantin Knauf <kna...@apache.org<mailto:kna...@apache.org>> wrote: Hi Robert, +1 to the plan you outlined. If we were to drop support in Flink 1.13+, we would still support it in Flink 1.12- with bug fixes for some time so that users have time to move on. It would certainly be very interesting to hear from current Flink on Mesos users, on how they see the evolution of this part of the ecosystem. Best, Konstantin
