(also updated https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19955 w/ this question)
i'm in the situation where i want to use ParquetProtoWriters found in flink-parquet 1.12.x. the rest of our codebase, anticipating possibly running on the fully-managed aws flink solution for production, is depending on 1.11.1. i'm expecting this to work since i am thinking that 1.11 vs 1.12 is only a minor version bump, and flink-parquet is more of a "terminal" package rather than a core, internal flink library. is this assumption correct? locally, things appear to be working as expected. but this is just for somewhat trivial unit tests. i haven't pushed this out to meaningful environments where issues around check/savepoints and such may creep up. so, i'm looking for any gotchas that folks may be aware of when mixing library versions like this. thanks!
