Cloudflow 2.3.0

📣 Cloudflow 2.3.0 released!

We are pleased to announce another release of Cloudflow.

The most notable change in this release is that Flink and Spark support, which was deprecated in the previous release, has now been removed. You do not have to use the CloudflowFlink and CloudflowSpark plugins anymore, when using CloudflowNativeFlink and CloudflowNativeSpark plugins. Please see the cloudflow contrib project for native Flink and Spark support.

The schema code generator plugin has been removed. See the examples how to configure the specific plugins for Avro and Protobuf. It is now a lot easier to use a different version of avro or protobuf with your Cloudflow project. The cloudflow-streamlets library does not depend on avro or protobuf anymore, the inlets, outlets, and codecs for avro and protobuf have been moved to cloudflow-avro and cloudflow-proto libraries.
