Hi,

What you linked to is what the community agreed to support. So far we've been able to support three versions at all times (e.g. currently we merge bugfixes to 1.17.x, 1.16.x, 1.15.x), which is one extra version than what is described in the docs. I don't think this will ever decrease.

As for older versions it is rather unlikely they will receive updates. We might discuss it for critical bugs such as e.g. security bugs, but only if it is easy to fix and it is always on case by case basis. Still 1.12.x is really far behind and personally I don't think it will receive any updates going forward.

Best,

Dawid

Hi Community,

Currently we are using version 1.12.7 and it is running without any issue. And we see that version 1.17 is set to release early next year.

That means we would be 5 versions behind.

1) So how far can we lag behind the current flink version ?

2) If we face any issues like log4j that we faced last year , would it be fixed for older versions if so till what version ?

This is what I see on the update policy on old releases.  (https://flink.apache.org/downloads.html)

 Would this hold good going forward also ?

Thanks,
