You can find the binaries on the updated Downloads page.

Note for RocksDB Backend Users

It is highly recommended to use the “fully async” mode for the RocksDB state backend. The “fully async” mode will most likely allow you to easily upgrade to Flink 1.2 (via savepoints) when it is released. The “semi async” mode will no longer be supported by Flink 1.2.

RocksDBStateBackend backend = new RocksDBStateBackend("...");
backend.enableFullyAsyncSnapshots();
