Getting Help

There are many ways to get help from the Apache Flink community. The mailing lists are the primary place where all Flink committers are present. To ask a question there, you have to send an empty subscription email first to user-subscribe@flink.apache.org. Once the subscription is confirmed, you can send questions to user@flink.apache.org.

If you want to talk with the Flink committers and users in a chat, there is a Freenode IRC channel for #flink.

Some committers are also monitoring stackoverflow for Flink related questions. Please remember to tag them with the flink tag. Ask a Question on Stackoverflow.

Bugs and feature requests can either be discussed on dev@flink.apache.org or on JIRA.

Those interested in contributing to Flink should check out the "How to contribute" guide.

Issues

We use JIRA to track all code related issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK.

All issue activity is also mirrored to the issues mailing list.

IRC

There is an IRC channel called #flink dedicated to Apache Flink at irc.freenode.org. There is also a web-based IRC client available.

The IRC channel can be used for online discussions about Apache Flink as community, but developers should be careful to move or duplicate all the official or useful discussions to the issue tracking system or dev mailing list.
