Flink 2.0 Preview Support
<a class="anchor" href="#flink-20-preview-support">#</a>
</h3>
<p>The Flink Kubernetes Operator and Autoscaler 1.11.0 brings support for Flink 2.0 preview version.
This should help users to try out and verify the latest features in Flink planned for the 2.0 release.</p>

<p>Default configs can now be defined for multiple versions at the same time using the following syntax:</p>

Extended lifecycle states
<a class="anchor" href="#extended-lifecycle-states">#</a>
</h4>
<p>Two new lifecycle states (<code>DELETING</code> and <code>DELETED</code>) have been added to ensure that the operator correctly tracks the entire
lifecycle of applications.</p>
<p>This is especially useful when implementing a custom resource listener.</p>
<h4 id="bug-fixes-for-batch-applications">
Bug fixes for batch applications

<p>The version contains a number of important fixes for managing batch applications to avoid some annoying errors.</p>
<h3 id="autoscaler-improvements">
Autoscaler improvements
<a class="anchor" href="#autoscaler-improvements">#</a>
</h3>
<p>The autoscaler module received a number of important tweaks, improvements and bugfixes.</p>
<h4 id="improved-target-utilization-configs">
Improved Target Utilization Configs
<a class="anchor" href="#improved-target-utilization-configs">#</a>
</h4>
<p>We improved and simplified how target utilization and utilization boundaries can be configured for more flexibility.
Instead of specifying the target and boundary you can now explicitly set:</p>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>job.autoscaler.utilization.target: 0.7
job.autoscaler.utilization.min: 0.5
job.autoscaler.utilization.max: 1.0
</code></pre><p>The old configs remain functional but are deprecated now.</p>
<h4 id="other-notable-changes">
Other notable changes
<a class="anchor" href="#other-notable-changes">#</a>
</h4>
<ul>
<li>More robust scale down logic to reduce fluctuations <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-36535">FLINK-36535</a></li>
<li><code>autoscalerResetNonce</code> in Kubernetes JobSpec allows easy reset of the autoscaler state and parallelism overrides</li>
<li>Publish metrics during stabilization period to reduce metric gaps</li>

$ helm install flink-kubernetes-operator flink-kubernetes-operator-1.11.0/flink-kubernetes-operator --set webhook.create=false
