  • IBM JDK versions: 1.7.8.10, 1.7.9.40, and 1.8.3.0
    NOTE:
    • If JDK 1.7 is used as the development environment, the running environment of Flink clusters can be JDK 1.7 or JDK 1.8.
    • If JDK 1.8 is used as the development environment, the running environment of Flink clusters must be JDK 1.8. If JDK 1.7 is used as the running environment, error of incorrect JDK version is reported.
