Latest stable release (v{{ site.stable }})

Apache Flink {{ site.stable }} is our latest stable release.

You don't have to install Hadoop to use Flink, but if you plan to use Flink with data stored in Hadoop, pick the version matching your installed Hadoop version. If you don't want to do this, pick the Hadoop 1 version.

<p>Pick this package if you plan to use Flink with data stored in Hadoop 1.x.</p>
<p>Also pick this version if you don't plan to use Flink with Hadoop at all.</p>

Maven Dependencies

You can add the following dependencies to your pom.xml to include Apache Flink in your project.

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
  <artifactId>flink-java</artifactId>
  <version>{{ site.FLINK_VERSION_STABLE }}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
  <artifactId>flink-clients</artifactId>
  <version>{{ site.FLINK_VERSION_STABLE }}</version>
</dependency>

These dependencies include a local execution environment and thus support local testing.

  • Hadoop 1: If you want to interact with Hadoop 1, use {{ site.FLINK_VERSION_HADOOP_1_STABLE }} as the version.
  • Scala API: To use the Scala API, replace the flink-java artifact id with flink-scala.
