[ANNOUNCE] Feature freeze for Apache Flink 1.9.0 release

[Xuefu Zhang]

On Hive integration, we are still actively working on Hive UDF support.
There are still some dependent items  being developed by other team but we
still like to complete our feature as planned.

Thanks,
Xuefu

Here are the features I collected which are under actively developing and
close
to merge:

1. Bridge blink planner to unified table environment and remove TableConfig
from blink planner
2. Support timestamp with local time zone and partition pruning in blink
planner
3. Support JDBC & HBase lookup function and upsert sink
4. StreamExecutionEnvironment supports executing job with StreamGraph, and
blink planner should set proper properties to StreamGraph
5. Set resource profiles to task and enable managed memory as resource
profile

Best,
Kurt
