Requirement or improvement

• Please describe about your requirements or improvement suggestions.
  Flink is regraded as next generation of streaming processing, however to track a message processed end to end in Flink is not that easy. So I'm wondering if skywalking has a plan to officially support Flink? If not, I will try to implement by myself

There is no such thing called official support :) SkyWalking is built on the whole community. If you want more plugins, try to build one and welcome to contribute to the community.

The project relies on every contributor's commits.

So, please try it, send the pull request and work with the committer review team to make it included in main repo

@Icefoxes Build one by yourself, and contribute it back to the community, then it becomes official
