Description

As the community and eco-system of Flink growing up, more and more Flink-owned and third party connectors are developed and added into Flink community. In order to provide a standardized quality controlling for all connectors, it's necessary to develop a unified connector testing framework to simplify and standardize end-to-end test of connectors.
