Last updated on Aug 2026.
Flink versions
Beam aims to support latest Flink minor versions. See Flink Runner Support Table for current coverage.
Flink 2.x Support
One of the major changes in Flink 2 is the removal of Flink DataSet API. As a result Beam Flink 2 runners switched to use DataStream API for batch mode. One area of interest is to improve the batch support of DataStream API.
