CRD schema required for object validation in newer Kubernetes releases

[skidder]

Newer versions of Kubernetes (e.g. 1.20+) perform type-validation of data written to the CRD. The CRD for the Flink operator currently does not define a schema for the status object. This leads to Flink applications never advancing in the state machine, as their updated state cannot be written.

This leads to logs like the following, where the app never advances beyond the CreatingCluster state:

{"json":{"app_name":"flink-test-app","ns":"aws-us-east-1-dos1","phase":""},"level":"info","msg":"Handling state for application","ts":"2022-03-11T04:21:38Z"}

Not sure what went wrong, but I am seeing the same issue as you do, and it looks like adding the change of #254 doesn't seems to help on the situation.

Wondering if you have any other idea that could potentially related to this issue? Thanks!
