Next Stateful Functions Release

[Igal Shilman]

Hi Flink devs,

We have a few upcoming / implemented features for Stateful Functions on the
radar, and would like to give a heads up on what to expect for the next
release:

1. Upgrade support for Flink 1.11.x. [FLINK-18812]
2. Fine grained control on remote state configuration, such as state TTL.
[FLINK-17954]
3. New state construct for dynamic state registration [FLINK-18316]
4. Add a DataStream API to StateFun [FLINK-19001]
5. Support async handlers for the Python SDK [FLINK-18518]
6. Add more metrics around async operations and backpressure [FLINK-19020]
7. Out-of-box support for common storage systems in flink-statefun Docker
image [FLINK-19019]

With these we think the project will be in a good spot for the next release.
What do you think about aiming at 10.9.2020 for a feature freeze for
StateFun 2.2?

Kind regards,
Igal.

[David Anderson-3]

Igal,

The feature set you propose sounds great to me -- as a user I see
plenty there to get excited about. As for the feature freeze date, I
don't really have an informed opinion.

The feature set also seems quite in line with user feedback, which is
always great to see.

Thanks, Igal!

+1, 10 Sept. also sounds like a reasonable feature freeze date considering
that most proposed features are already either merged or PR in progress.

Cheers,
Gordon

+1 for Sept 10. Do you think we'd be able to get a fix for FLINK-18894 by
then?
