Event Processing 1.5.0 and later supports Apache Flink 2.2.0 for both UI-based flows and for Flink jobs deployed outside the Event Processing UI.
Flink 1.20.3 is also supported, but only for deploying Flink jobs outside the Event Processing UI. This includes:
- Testing jobs by using the Flink SQL client
