Anything else?

Could you please specifically explain the use cases and differences between Fluss and Forst DB?

Fluss currently supports Flink 1.20. Is there any internal plan to align with Flink 2.0?

Can Fluss 0.5 support the upcoming release of Paimon 1.0?

Are you willing to submit a PR?

Hi @yfcck 👋 I moved this as a question instead of bug.
Forst DB is a state store used in Flink 2.0 to store state... Fluss is a real-time streaming storage, it's a separate system and it will support the upcoming release of Paimon 1.0

@yfcck Forst DB is a statebackend storage for Flink. Fluss is a table storage for the source and sink result of Flink.

Yes, Fluss will integrate with Flink 2.0 and Paimon 1.0 when they are released.
