Note, that the program uses Flink’s <code>groupBy()</code> transformation to group data on the key field (field 0 of the <code>Tuple2&lt;key, value&gt;</code>) before it is given to the Reducer function. At the moment, the compatibility package does not evaluate custom Hadoop partitioners, sorting comparators, or grouping comparators.</p>

+</span></span></span></code></pre></div><p>As you can see, Flink represents Hadoop key-value pairs as <code>Tuple2&lt;key, value&gt;</code> tuples. Note, that the program uses Flink’s <code>groupBy()</code> transformation to group data on the key field (field 0 of the <code>Tuple2&lt;key, value&gt;</code>) before it is given to the Reducer function. At the moment, the compatibility package does not evaluate custom Hadoop partitioners, sorting comparators, or grouping comparators.</p>
 <p>Hadoop functions can be used at any position within a Flink program and of course also be mixed with native Flink functions. This means that instead of assembling a workflow of Hadoop jobs in an external driver method or using a workflow scheduler such as <a href="http://oozie.apache.org">Apache Oozie</a>, you can implement an arbitrary complex Flink program consisting of multiple Hadoop Input- and OutputFormats, Mapper and Reducer functions. When executing such a Flink program, data will be pipelined between your Hadoop functions and will not be written to HDFS just for the purpose of data exchange.</p>

 <p>Each TypeInformation provides a serializer for the data type it represents. For example, a BasicTypeInfo returns a serializer that writes the respective primitive type, the serializer of a WritableTypeInfo delegates de/serialization to the write() and readFields() methods of the object implementing Hadoop’s Writable interface, and a GenericTypeInfo returns a serializer that delegates serialization to Kryo. Object serialization to a DataOutput which is backed by Flink MemorySegments goes automatically through Java’s efficient unsafe operations. For data types that can be used as keys, i.e., compared and hashed, the TypeInformation provides TypeComparators. TypeComparators compare and hash objects and can - depending on the concrete data type - also efficiently compare binary representations and extract fixed-length binary key prefixes.</p>
 <p>Tuple, Pojo, and CaseClass types are composite types, i.e., containers for one or more possibly nested data types. As such, their serializers and comparators are also composite and delegate the serialization and comparison of their member data types to the respective serializers and comparators. The following figure illustrates the serialization of a (nested) <code>Tuple3&lt;Integer, Double, Person&gt;</code> object where <code>Person</code> is a POJO and defined as follows:</p>

 <p>To retrieve the top songs per user, we call the groupReduceOnEdges function as it perform an

 basically iterate through the edge value and collect the target (song) of the maximum weight edge.</p>

 formed. To do so, we first initialize each vertex with a numeric label using the
 <code>joinWithVertices()</code> function that takes a data set of Tuple2 as a parameter and joins
 the id of a vertex with the first element of the tuple, afterwards applying a map function.
 Finally, we call the <code>run()</code> method with the LabelPropagation library method passed
 as a parameter. In the end, the vertices will be updated to contain the most frequent label
 among their neighbors.</p>

 <p>Fortunately, there is a nice trick to do this without introducing code branches and specialized handling of the two different memory types. The trick is based on the way that the <code>sun.misc.Unsafe</code> methods interpret object references. To illustrate this, we take the method that gets a long integer from a memory position:</p>
 <pre tabindex="0"><code>sun.misc.Unsafe.getLong(Object reference, long offset)
 </code></pre><p>The method accepts an object reference, takes its memory address, and add the offset to obtain a pointer. It then fetches the eight bytes at the address pointed to and interprets them as a long integer. Since the method accepts <em>null</em> as the reference (and interprets it a <em>zero</em>) one can write a method that fetches a long integer seamlessly from heap and off-heap memory as follows:</p>

 <p>Of particular interest is the macro in line 155, which is the base of all GET methods. Tracing the function calls (many are no-ops), one can see that both variants of Unsafe’s <code>getLong()</code> result in the same code:
 Either <code>0 + absolutePointer</code> or <code>objectRefAddress + offset</code>.</p>

 For this, you only need to replace the dependency <code>storm-core</code> by <code>flink-storm</code> in your Storm project and <strong>change two lines of code</strong> in your original Storm program.</p>
 <p>The following example shows a simple Storm-Word-Count-Program that can be executed in Flink.
 First, the program is assembled the Storm way without any code change to Spouts, Bolts, or the topology itself.</p>

@@ -569,35 +568,35 @@
 The compatibility package provides wrapper classes for Spouts and Bolts which are implemented as a Flink <code>SourceFunction</code> and <code>StreamOperator</code> respectively.
 Those wrappers automatically translate incoming Flink POJO and <code>TupleXX</code> records into Storm&rsquo;s <code>Tuple</code> type and emitted <code>Values</code> back into either POJOs or <code>TupleXX</code> types for further processing by Flink operators.
 As Storm is type agnostic, it is required to specify the output type of embedded Spouts/Bolts manually to get a fully typed Flink streaming program.</p>

 This will give us a <code>DataStream&lt;MonitoringEvent&gt; inputEventStream</code> which we will use as the input for Flink’s CEP operator.
 But first, we have to define the event pattern to detect temperature warnings.
 The CEP library offers an intuitive <a href="//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-master/apis/streaming/libs/cep.html#the-pattern-api">Pattern API</a> to easily define these complex patterns.</p>
 <p>Every pattern consists of a sequence of events which can have optional filter conditions assigned.
 A pattern always starts with a first event to which we will assign the name <code>“First Event”</code>.</p>

 <p>We updated Flink&rsquo;s RocksDB dependency version from <code>4.5.1</code> to <code>4.11.2</code>. Between these versions some of RocksDB&rsquo;s internal configuration defaults changed that would affect the memory footprint of running Flink with RocksDB. Therefore, we manually reset them to the previous defaults. If you want to run with the new Rocks 4.11.2 defaults, you can do this via:</p>

 <p>The <code>PrometheusExampleJob</code> has three operators: Random numbers up to 10,000 are generated, then a map counts the events and creates a histogram of the values passed through. Finally, the events are discarded without further output. The very simple code below is from the second operator. It illustrates how easy it is to add custom metrics relevant to your business logic into your Flink job.</p>

 <p>Integration between the two frameworks is ongoing and developers can already use Pulsar with Flink in multiple ways. For example, Pulsar can be used as a streaming source and streaming sink in Flink DataStream applications. Developers can ingest data from Pulsar into a Flink job that makes computations and processes real-time data, to then send the data back to a Pulsar topic as a streaming sink. Such an example is shown below:</p>

 <p>Going back to our example use case, a temporal table is just what we need to model the conversion rate data such as to make it useful for point-in-time querying. Temporal table functions are implemented as an extension of Flink’s generic <a href="//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.8/dev/table/udfs.html#table-functions">table function</a> class and can be defined in the same straightforward way to be used with the Table API or SQL parser.</p>

 <p>The 1.6.0 release of Apache Flink introduced the State TTL feature. It enabled developers of stream processing applications to configure the state of operators to expire and be cleaned up after a defined timeout (time-to-live). In Flink 1.8.0 the feature was extended, including continuous cleanup of old entries for both the RocksDB and the heap state backends (FSStateBackend and MemoryStateBackend), enabling a continuous cleanup process of old entries (according to the TTL setting).</p>
 <p>In Flink’s DataStream API, application state is defined by a <a href="//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.8/dev/stream/state/state.html#using-managed-keyed-state">state descriptor</a>. State TTL is configured by passing a <code>StateTtlConfiguration</code> object to a state descriptor. The following Java example shows how to create a state TTL configuration and provide it to the state descriptor that holds the last login time of a user as a <code>Long</code> value:</p>

 <p>Due to these limitations, applications still need to actively remove state after it expired in Flink 1.6.0. To improve the user experience, Flink 1.8.0 introduces two more autonomous cleanup strategies, one for each of Flink’s two state backend types. We describe them below.</p>

   Incremental cleanup in Heap state backends
   <a class="anchor" href="#incremental-cleanup-in-heap-state-backends">#</a>
 </h2>
 <p>This approach is specific to the Heap state backends (FSStateBackend and MemoryStateBackend). The idea is that the storage backend keeps a lazy global iterator over all state entries. Certain events, for instance state access, trigger an incremental cleanup. Every time an incremental cleanup is triggered, the iterator is advanced. The traversed state entries are checked and expired once are removed. The following code example shows how to enable incremental cleanup:</p>

 <p>If your application uses the RocksDB state backend, you can enable another cleanup strategy which is based on a Flink specific compaction filter. RocksDB periodically runs asynchronous compactions to merge state updates and reduce storage. The Flink compaction filter checks the expiration timestamp of state entries with TTL and discards all expired values.</p>
 <p>The first step to activate this feature is to configure the RocksDB state backend by setting the following Flink configuration option: <code>state.backend.rocksdb.ttl.compaction.filter.enabled</code>. Once the RocksDB state backend is configured, the compaction cleanup strategy is enabled for a state as shown in the following code example:</p>

 <ul>
 <li><code>processBroadcastElement()</code> is called for each record of the broadcasted stream. In our <code>PatternEvaluator</code> function, we simply put the received <code>Pattern</code> record in to the broadcast state using the <code>null</code> key (remember, we only store a single pattern in the <code>MapState</code>).</li>
 <li><code>processElement()</code> is called for each record of the keyed stream. It provides read-only access to the broadcast state to prevent modification that result in different broadcast states across the parallel instances of the function. The <code>processElement()</code> method of the <code>PatternEvaluator</code> retrieves the current pattern from the broadcast state and the previous action of the user from the keyed state. If both are present, it checks whether the previous and current action match with the pattern and emits a pattern match record if that is the case. Finally, it updates the keyed state to the current user action.</li>

 </h1>
 <p>Before delving into the integration details and how you can use Pulsar schema with Flink, let us describe how schema in Pulsar works. Schema in Apache Pulsar already co-exists and serves as the representation of the data on the broker side of the framework, something that makes schema registry with external systems obsolete. Additionally, the data schema in Pulsar is associated with each topic so both producers and consumers send data with predefined schema information, while the broker performs schema validation, and manages schema multi-versioning and evolution in compatibility checks.</p>
 <p>Below you can find an example of Pulsar’s schema on both the producer and consumer side. On the producer side, you can specify which schema you want to use and Pulsar then sends a POJO class without the need to perform any serialization/deserialization. Similarly, on the consumer end, you can also specify the data schema and upon receiving the data, Pulsar will automatically validate the schema information, fetch the schema of the given version and then deserialize the data back to a POJO structure. Pulsar stores the schema information in the metadata of a Pulsar topic.</p>

 <p>The first pattern we will look into is Dynamic Data Partitioning.</p>
 <p>If you have used Flink&rsquo;s DataStream API in the past, you are undoubtedly familiar with the <strong>keyBy</strong> method. Keying a stream shuffles all the records such that elements with the same key are assigned to the same partition. This means all records with the same key are processed by the same physical instance of the next operator.</p>
 <p>In a typical streaming application, the choice of key is fixed, determined by some static field within the elements. For instance, when building a simple window-based aggregation of a stream of transactions, we might always group by the transactions account id.</p>

 To understand why this is the case, let us start with articulating a realistic sample rule definition for our fraud detection system in the form of a functional requirement:</p>
 <p><em>&ldquo;Whenever the <strong>sum</strong> of the accumulated <strong>payment amount</strong> from the same <strong>payer</strong> to the same <strong>beneficiary</strong> within the <strong>duration of a week</strong> is <strong>greater</strong> than <strong>1 000 000 $</strong> - fire an alert.&rdquo;</em></p>
 <p>In this formulation we can spot a number of parameters that we would like to be able to specify in a newly-submitted rule and possibly even later modify or tweak at runtime:</p>

 </span></span></code></pre></div><p>At this point, it is important to understand that <strong><code>groupingKeyNames</code></strong> determine the actual physical grouping of events - all Transactions with the same values of specified parameters (e.g. <em>payer #25 -&gt; beneficiary #12</em>) have to be aggregated in the same physical instance of the evaluating operator. Naturally, the process of distributing data in such a way in Flink&rsquo;s API is realised by a <code>keyBy()</code> function.</p>
 <p>Most examples in Flink&rsquo;s <code>keyBy()</code><a href="//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/api_concepts.html#define-keys-using-field-expressions">documentation</a> use a hard-coded <code>KeySelector</code>, which extracts specific fixed events&rsquo; fields. However, to support the desired flexibility, we have to extract them in a more dynamic fashion based on the specifications of the rules. For this, we will have to use one additional operator that prepares every event for dispatching to a correct aggregating instance.</p>
 <p>On a high level, our main processing pipeline looks like this:</p>

This implies that events might simultaneously need to be present at multiple parallel instances of evaluating operators that correspond to different rules and hence will need to be forked.

In all cases, the schema is determined by means of its serializer, and can be thought of in terms of an alter table statement when compared with a database. When a state variable is first introduced it is like running a <code>CREATE_TABLE</code> command, there is a lot of freedom with its execution.

 <p><a href="https://flink.apache.org/downloads.html#apache-flink-182">Flink 1.8</a> comes with built-in support for <a href="https://avro.apache.org/">Apache Avro</a> (specifically the <a href="https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/spec.html">1.7.7 specification</a>) and evolves state schema according to Avro specifications by adding and removing types or even by swapping between generic and specific Avro record types.</p>
 <p>In <a href="https://flink.apache.org/downloads.html#apache-flink-191">Flink 1.9</a> the community added support for schema evolution for POJOs, including the ability to remove existing fields from POJO types or add new fields. The POJO schema evolution tends to be less flexible — when compared to Avro — since it is not possible to change neither the declared field types nor the class name of a POJO type, including its namespace.</p>
 <p>With the community’s efforts related to schema evolution, Flink developers can now expect out-of-the-box support for both Avro and POJO formats, with backwards compatibility for all Flink state backends. Future work revolves around adding support for Scala Case Classes, Tuples and other formats. Make sure to subscribe to the <a href="https://flink.apache.org/community.html">Flink mailing list</a> to contribute and stay on top of any upcoming additions in this space.</p>

   Implementing Apache Avro Serialization in Flink
   <a class="anchor" href="#implementing-apache-avro-serialization-in-flink">#</a>
 </h2>
 <p>Apache Avro is a data serialization format that has very well-defined schema migration semantics and supports both reader and writer schemas. During normal Flink execution the reader and writer schemas will be the same. However, when upgrading an application they may be different and with schema evolution, Flink will be able to migrate objects with their schemas.</p>

 <p>Writing unit tests for a stateless operator is a breeze. You need to follow the basic norm of writing a test case, i.e., create an instance of the function class and test the appropriate methods. Let’s take an example of a simple <code>Map</code> operator.</p>

 <ol>
 <li><code>open</code>: calls the open of the <code>FlatMap</code> function with relevant parameters. It also initializes the context.</li>
 <li><code>processElement</code>: allows users to pass an input element as well as the timestamp associated with the element.</li>

 </h1>
 <p>Writing tests for process functions, that work with time, is quite similar to writing tests for stateful functions because you can also use test harness.
 However, you need to take care of another aspect, which is providing timestamps for events and controlling the current time of the application. By setting the current (processing or event) time, you can trigger registered timers, which will call the <code>onTimer</code> method of the function</p>

-</span></span></code></pre></div><p>As you can see, the broadcast stream can be created from any regular stream by calling the <code>broadcast</code> method and specifying a state descriptor. Flink assumes that broadcasted data needs to be stored and retrieved while processing events of the main data flow and, therefore, always automatically creates a corresponding <em>broadcast state</em> from this state descriptor. This is different from any other Apache Flink state type in which you need to initialize it in the <code>open()</code> method of the  processing function. Also note that broadcast state always has a key-value format (<code>MapState</code>).</p>

When a new rule is created, it is distributed as depicted in Figure 6 and saved in all parallel instances of the operator using <code>processBroadcastState</code>. We use a Rule&rsquo;s ID as the key to store and reference individual rules. Instead of iterating over a hardcoded <code>List&lt;Rules&gt;</code>, we iterate over entries in the dynamically-updated broadcast state.</p>

Flink assumes that broadcasted data needs to be stored and retrieved while processing events of the main data flow and, therefore, always automatically creates a corresponding <em>broadcast state</em> from this state descriptor. This is different from any other Apache Flink state type in which you need to initialize it in the <code>open()</code> method of the  processing function. Also note that broadcast state always has a key-value format (<code>MapState</code>).</p>

+</span></span></span></code></pre></div><p>In the above code, <code>processElement()</code> receives Transactions, and <code>processBroadcastElement()</code> receives Rule updates. When a new rule is created, it is distributed as depicted in Figure 6 and saved in all parallel instances of the operator using <code>processBroadcastState</code>. We use a Rule&rsquo;s ID as the key to store and reference individual rules. Instead of iterating over a hardcoded <code>List&lt;Rules&gt;</code>, we iterate over entries in the dynamically-updated broadcast state.</p>
 <p><code>DynamicAlertFunction</code> follows the same logic with respect to storing the rules in the broadcast <code>MapState</code>. As described in <a href="https://flink.apache.org/news/2020/01/15/demo-fraud-detection.html">Part 1</a>, each message in the <code>processElement</code> input is intended to be processed by one specific rule and comes &ldquo;pre-marked&rdquo; with a corresponding ID by  <code>DynamicKeyFunction</code>. All we need to do is retrieve the definition of the corresponding rule from <code>BroadcastState</code> by using the provided ID and process it according to the logic required by that rule. At this stage, we will also add messages to the internal function state in order to perform calculations on the required time window of data. We will consider how this is done in the <a href="/news/2020/07/30/demo-fraud-detection-3.html">final blog</a> of the series about Fraud Detection.</p>

 If you fail to provide the type information for a `Row`, Flink identifies that `Row` is not a valid POJO type according to the rules above and falls back to Kryo serialization (see below) which you will also see in the logs as:

Please read the Flink documentation on &quot;Data Types &amp; Serialization&quot; for details of the effect on performance.</code></p>

  Since Avro’s `Schema` class is not serializable, it can not be sent around as is. You can work around this by converting it to a String and parsing it back when needed. If you only do this once on initialization, there is practically no difference to sending it directly.

 <p>With so many options for serialization, it is actually not easy to make the right choice. We already saw some technical advantages and disadvantages of each of them outlined above. Since serializers are at the core of your Flink jobs and usually also sit on the hot path (per record invocations), let us actually take a deeper look into their performance with the help of the Flink benchmarks project at <a href="https://github.com/dataArtisans/flink-benchmarks">https://github.com/dataArtisans/flink-benchmarks</a>. This project adds a few micro-benchmarks on top of Flink (some more low-level than others) to track performance regressions and improvements. Flink’s continuous benchmarks for monitoring the serialization stack’s performance are implemented in <a href="https://github.com/dataArtisans/flink-benchmarks/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/benchmark/SerializationFrameworkMiniBenchmarks.java">SerializationFrameworkMiniBenchmarks.java</a>. This is only a subset of all available serialization benchmarks though and you will find the complete set in <a href="https://github.com/dataArtisans/flink-benchmarks/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/benchmark/full/SerializationFrameworkAllBenchmarks.java">SerializationFrameworkAllBenchmarks.java</a>. All of these use the same definition of a small POJO that may cover average use cases. Essentially (without constructors, getters, and setters), these are the data types that it uses for evaluating performance:</p>

 <p>Being able to define state expiration and a state cleanup strategy is a useful feature for stateful applications — for example, to keep state size from growing indefinitely or to work with sensitive data. In previous StateFun versions, users could implement this behavior manually using <a href="//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-statefun-docs-release-2.0/sdk/java.html#sending-delayed-messages">delayed messages</a> as state expiration callbacks. For StateFun 2.1, the community has worked on enabling users to configure any persisted state to expire and be purged after a given duration (i.e. the state time-to-live) (<a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17644">FLINK-17644</a>, <a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-17875">FLINK-17875</a>).</p>
 <p>Persisted state can be configured to expire after the last <em>write</em> operation (<code>AFTER_WRITE</code>) or after the last <em>read or write</em> operation (<code>AFTER_READ_AND_WRITE</code>). For the <a href="//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-statefun-docs-release-2.1/sdk/java.html#state-expiration">Java SDK</a>, users can configure State TTL in the definition of their persisted fields:</p>

 <p>Then, we need a classifier to recognize those images. A one-layer pre-trained neural network, whose prediction accuracy is 92.14%,
 is used in our classify operator. To leverage GPUs in order to accelerate the matrix-matrix multiplication, we use <a href="https://github.com/jcuda/jcuda">JCuda</a>
 to call the native Cuda API. The prediction logic of the <a href="https://github.com/KarmaGYZ/flink-mnist/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/MNISTClassifier.java">MNISTClassifier</a> is shown below.</p>

   Hello <em>batch</em> mode

 </h3>
 <p>Now that you know how to set the execution mode, let&rsquo;s try to write a simple word count program and see how it behaves depending on the chosen mode. The program is a variation of a standard word count, where we count number of orders placed
 in a given currency. We derive the number in 1-day windows. We read the input data from a new <a href="//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.12/api/java/org/apache/flink/connector/file/src/FileSource.html">unified file source</a> and then apply a <a href="//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.12/dev/stream/operators/windows.html#windows">window aggregation</a>. Notice that we will be checking the side output for late arriving data, which can illustrate how watermarks behave differently in the two execution modes.</p>

 <p>Operators that process data from multiple inputs can be executed in both execution modes as well. Let&rsquo;s see how we may implement a join of two data sets on a common key. (Disclaimer: Make sure to think first if you <a href="#which-api-and-execution-mode-should-i-use">should use the Table API/SQL</a> for your join!). We will enrich a stream of orders with information about the customer and we will make it run either of the two modes.</p>
 <p>For this particular use case, the DataStream API provides a <code>DataStream#join</code> method that requires a window in which the join must happen; since we&rsquo;ll process the data in bulk, we can use a <code>GlobalWindow</code> (that would otherwise not be very useful on its own in an <em>unbounded</em> case due to state size concerns):</p>

In a <em>streaming</em> application the <code>GlobalWindow</code> never finishes so we need to add a processing time trigger to emit results from time to time. We believe triggers are a way to control when to emit results, but are not part of the logic what to emit. Therefore we think it is safe to ignore those in case of <em>batch</em> mode and that&rsquo;s what we do. In <em>batch</em> mode you will just get one final result for the join.</p>

 <p><code>RichSourceFunction</code> is a base class for implementing a data source that has access to context information and some lifecycle methods. There is a <code>run()</code> method inherited from the <code>SourceFunction</code> interface that you need to implement. It is invoked once and can be used to produce the data either once for a bounded result or within a loop for an unbounded stream.</p>
 <p>For example, to create a bounded data source, you could implement this method so that it reads all existing emails and then closes. To create an unbounded source, you could only look at new emails coming in while the source is active. You can also combine these behaviors and expose them through configuration options.</p>
 <p>When you first create the class and implement the interface, it should look something like this:</p>

You can imagine a data stream being logically converted into a table that is constantly changing. For this tutorial, the emails that will be read in will be interpreted as a (source) table that is queryable. It can be viewed as a specific instance of a connector class.</p>
 <p>You will now implement a <a href="https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.13/api/java/org/apache/flink/table/connector/source/DynamicTableSource.html">DynamicTableSource</a> interface.

For this tutorial, you will implement the more specific <a href="https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.13/api/java/org/apache/flink/table/factories/DynamicTableSourceFactory.html">DynamicTableSourceFactory</a>, which allows you to configure a dynamic table connector as well as create <code>DynamicTableSource</code> instances.</p>

 <p>You will start by creating a class to encapsulate the configuration options. You will make use of <a href="https://projectlombok.org">Lombok</a> to help with some boilerplate code. By adding the <code>@Data</code> and <code>@SuperBuilder</code> annotations, Lombok will generate these for all the fields of the immutable class.</p>

Take note of the column names with which the table has been created. This will help later.

The helper function will throw an error message if one required option is missing.

Recall that previously (in part one) you used a small helper utility <a href="https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.13/api/java/org/apache/flink/table/factories/FactoryUtil.TableFactoryHelper.html">TableFactoryHelper</a>, that Flink offers which ensures that required options are set and that no unknown options are provided. You can now use it to automatically make sure that the required options of hostname, port number, username, and password are all provided when creating a table using this connector. The helper function will throw an error message if one required option is missing. You can also use it to access the provided options (<code>getOptions()</code>), convert them into an instance of the <code>ImapTableSource</code> class created earlier, and provide the instance to the table source:</p>

     Ideally, you would use connector <a href="https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.13/docs/connectors/table/overview/#metadata">metadata</a> instead of column names. You can refer again to the accompanying <a href="https://github.com/TNG/flink-connector-email">repository</a> which does implement this using metadata fields.

 <p>Now that you have configured the required options to connect to the email server, it is time to actually connect to the server.</p>
 <p>Going back to the <code>ImapSource</code> class, you first need to convert the options given to the table source into a <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/properties.html">Properties</a> object, which is what you can pass to the Jakarta library. You can also set various other properties here as well (i.e. enabling SSL).</p>
 <p>The specific properties that the Jakarta library understands are documented <a href="https://jakarta.ee/specifications/mail/1.6/apidocs/index.html?com/sun/mail/imap/package-summary.html">here</a>.</p>

 <p>In the sort-spill phase, data records are serialized to the in-memory sort buffer first. When the sort buffer is full or all output has been finished, the data in the sort buffer will be copied and spilled into the target data file in the specific order.

-</span></span></code></pre></div><p>Currently, Flink does not need to sort records by key on the data producer side, so the default implementation of sort buffer only sorts data by subpartition index, which is achieved by binary bucket sort. More specifically, each data record will be serialized and attached a 16 bytes binary header. Among the 16 bytes, 4 bytes is for the record length, 4 bytes is for the data type (event or data buffer) and 8 bytes is for pointers to the next records belonging to the same subpartition to be consumed by the same downstream data consumer. When reading data from the sort buffer, all records of the same subpartition will be copied one by one following the pointer in the record header, which guarantees that for each subpartition, the order of record reading/spilling is the same order as when the record is emitted by the producer task. The following picture shows the internal structure of the in-memory binary sort buffer:</p>

More specifically, each data record will be serialized and attached a 16 bytes binary header. Among the 16 bytes, 4 bytes is for the record length, 4 bytes is for the data type (event or data buffer) and 8 bytes is for pointers to the next records belonging to the same subpartition to be consumed by the same downstream data consumer. When reading data from the sort buffer, all records of the same subpartition will be copied one by one following the pointer in the record header, which guarantees that for each subpartition, the order of record reading/spilling is the same order as when the record is emitted by the producer task. The following picture shows the internal structure of the in-memory binary sort buffer:</p>

 <p>Based on the storage structure described above, we introduced the IO scheduling technique to achieve more sequential reads for the sort-based blocking shuffle in Flink. The core idea behind IO scheduling is pretty simple. Just like the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevator_algorithm">elevator algorithm</a> for disk scheduling, the IO scheduling for sort-based blocking shuffle always tries to serve data read requests in the file offset order. More formally, we have n data regions indexed from 0 to n-1 in a result partition file. In each data region, there are m data subpartitions to be consumed by m downstream data consumers. These data consumers read data concurrently.</p>

 </h3>
 <p><code>FlinkPravegaReader</code> is a Flink <code>SourceFunction</code> implementation which supports parallel reads from one or more Pravega streams. Internally, it initiates a Pravega reader group and creates Pravega <code>EventStreamReader</code> instances to read the data from the stream(s). It provides a builder-style API to construct, and can allow streamcuts to mark the start and end of the read.</p>

If no errors were returned, we must indicate this with <code>requestResult.accept(Collections.emptyList())</code>.</p>

However the sink implementer is best positioned to determine what the most sensible measure of size for each <code>RequestEntryT</code> is. If there is no way to determine the size of a record, then the value <code>0</code> may be returned, and the sink will not flush based on record size triggers.</p>

Any elements that were previously removed from the buffer are guaranteed to be persisted in the destination by a preceding call to <code>AsyncWriter#flush(true)</code>.
 You may want to save additional state from the concrete sink. You can achieve this by overriding <code>snapshotState</code>, and restoring from the saved state in the constructor. You will receive the saved state by overriding <code>restoreWriter</code> in your concrete sink. In this method, you should construct a sink writer, passing in the recovered state.</p>

 <ul>
 <li><strong>Information methods:</strong> We need methods to provide the RateLimitingStrategy with sufficient information to track the rate of requests or rate of sent messages (each request can comprise multiple messages)</li>
 <li><strong>Control methods:</strong> We also need methods to allow the RateLimitingStrategy to control the sink’s request rate.</li>

 </ul>
 <p>This strategy means we will start with a low request rate (slow start), but aggressively increase it until the destination throttles us, which allows us to discover the highest possible request rate. It will also adjust the request rate if the conditions of the destination changes (e.g. another client starts writing to the same destination). This strategy works well if destinations implement traffic shaping and throttles once the bandwidth limit is reached (e.g. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose).</p>
 <p>First, we implement the information methods to keep track of the number of in-flight requests and in-flight messages.</p>

 <p>We keep a current value for maxInFlightMessages and maxInFlightRequests, and postpone all new requests if maxInFlightRequests or maxInFlightMessages have been reached.</p>
 <p>Every time a request completes, the CongestionControlRateLimitingStrategy will check if there are any failed messages in the response. If there are, it will decrease maxInFlightMessages. If there are no failed messages, it will increase maxInFlightMessages. This gives us indirect control of the rate of messages being written to the destination.</p>
 <p>Side note: The default CongestionControlRateLimitingStrategy uses an Additive Increase / Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) scaling strategy. This is also used in TCP congestion control to avoid overloading the destination by increasing write rate slowly but backing off quickly if throttled.</p>

+looking at a packed release with a wide variety of improvements and new features. Overall, 162
+people contributed to this release completing 33 FLIPs and 600+ issues. Thank you!</p>
+<p>Let&rsquo;s dive into the highlights.</p>

+<p>Now in Flink 1.19, you can set a custom parallelism for performance tuning via the <code>scan.parallelism</code>
+option. The first available connector is DataGen (Kafka connector is on the way). Here is an example

+<p>A new option <code>env.java.opts.sql-gateway</code> for specifying the Java options is introduced in Flink 1.19,

+  Configure Different State TTLs Using SQL Hint
+  <a class="anchor" href="#configure-different-state-ttls-using-sql-hint">#</a>
+</h2>
+<p>Starting from Flink 1.18, Table API and SQL users can set state time-to-live (TTL) individually for
+stateful operators via the SQL compiled plan. In Flink 1.19, users have a more flexible way to
+specify custom TTL values for regular joins and group aggregations directly within their queries by <a href="https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.19/docs/dev/table/sql/queries/hints/#state-ttl-hints">utilizing the STATE_TTL hint</a>.
+This improvement means that you no longer need to alter your compiled plan to set specific TTLs for
+these frequently used operators. With the introduction of <code>STATE_TTL</code> hints, you can streamline your workflow and
+dynamically adjust the TTL based on your operational requirements.</p>
+<p>Here is an example:</p>

+  Dynamic Source Parallelism Inference for Batch Jobs
+  <a class="anchor" href="#dynamic-source-parallelism-inference-for-batch-jobs">#</a>
+</h2>
+<p>In Flink 1.19, we have supported dynamic source parallelism inference for batch jobs, which allows
+source connectors to dynamically infer the parallelism based on the actual amount of data to consume.
+This feature is a significant improvement over previous versions, which only assigned a fixed default
+parallelism to source vertices.
+Source connectors need to implement the inference interface to enable dynamic parallelism inference.
+Currently, the FileSource connector has already been developed with this functionality in place.
+Additionally, the configuration <code>execution.batch.adaptive.auto-parallelism.default-source-parallelism</code>
+will be used as the upper bound of source parallelism inference. And now it will not default to 1.
+Instead, if it is not set, the upper bound of allowed parallelism set via
+<code>execution.batch.adaptive.auto-parallelism.max-parallelism</code> will be used. If that configuration is
+also not set, the default parallelism set via <code>parallelism.default</code> or <code>StreamExecutionEnvironment#setParallelism()</code>
+will be used instead.</p>

+syntax. The default configuration file has been changed to <code>config.yaml</code> and placed in the <code>conf/</code>
+directory. Users should directly modify this file to configure Flink.
+If users want to use the legacy configuration file <code>flink-conf.yaml</code>, users just need to copy this
+file into the <code>conf/</code> directory. Once the legacy configuration file <code>flink-conf.yaml</code> is detected,
+Flink will prioritize using it as the configuration file. And in the upcoming Flink 2.0, the
+<code>flink-conf.yaml</code> configuration file will no longer work.</p>

+Here, we explain important aspects of Flink&rsquo;s architecture.
 Process Unbounded and Bounded Data # Any kind of data is produced as a stream of events. Credit card transactions, sensor measurements, machine logs, or user interactions on a website or mobile application, all of these data are generated as a stream.
 Data can be processed as unbounded or bounded streams.
 Unbounded streams have a start but no defined end. They do not terminate and provide data as it is generated. Unbounded streams must be continuously processed, i.e., events must be promptly handled after they have been ingested. It is not possible to wait for all input data to arrive because the input is unbounded and will not be complete at any point in time. Processing unbounded data often requires that events are ingested in a specific order, such as the order in which events occurred, to be able to reason about result completeness.
 Bounded streams have a defined start and end. Bounded streams can be processed by ingesting all data before performing any computations. Ordered ingestion is not required to process bounded streams because a bounded data set can always be sorted. Processing of bounded streams is also known as batch processing.
-Apache Flink excels at processing unbounded and bounded data sets. Precise control of time and state enable Flink\u0026rsquo;s runtime to run any kind of application on unbounded streams. Bounded streams are internally processed by algorithms and data structures that are specifically designed for fixed sized data sets, yielding excellent performance.

 Convince yourself by exploring the use cases that have been built on top of Flink.
 Deploy Applications Anywhere # Apache Flink is a distributed system and requires compute resources in order to execute applications. Flink integrates with all common cluster resource managers such as Hadoop YARN and Kubernetes but can also be setup to run as a stand-alone cluster.
 Flink is designed to work well each of the previously listed resource managers. This is achieved by resource-manager-specific deployment modes that allow Flink to interact with each resource manager in its idiomatic way.
-When deploying a Flink application, Flink automatically identifies the required resources based on the application\u0026rsquo;s configured parallelism and requests them from the resource manager. In case of a failure, Flink replaces the failed container by requesting new resources. All communication to submit or control an application happens via REST calls. This eases the integration of Flink in many environments.

This eases the integration of Flink in many environments.
 Run Applications at any Scale # Flink is designed to run stateful streaming applications at any scale. Applications are parallelized into possibly thousands of tasks that are distributed and concurrently executed in a cluster. Therefore, an application can leverage virtually unlimited amounts of CPUs, main memory, disk and network IO. Moreover, Flink easily maintains very large application state. Its asynchronous and incremental checkpointing algorithm ensures minimal impact on processing latencies while guaranteeing exactly-once state consistency.
 Users reported impressive scalability numbers for Flink applications running in their production environments, such as
 applications processing multiple trillions of events per day, applications maintaining multiple terabytes of state, and applications running on thousands of cores. Leverage In-Memory Performance # Stateful Flink applications are optimized for local state access. Task state is always maintained in memory or, if the state size exceeds the available memory, in access-efficient on-disk data structures. Hence, tasks perform all computations by accessing local, often in-memory, state yielding very low processing latencies. Flink guarantees exactly-once state consistency in case of failures by periodically and asynchronously checkpointing the local state to durable storage.

+Building Blocks for Streaming Applications # The types of applications that can be built with and executed by a stream processing framework are defined by how well the framework controls streams, state, and time. In the following, we describe these building blocks for stream processing applications and explain Flink&rsquo;s approaches to handle them.
 Streams # Obviously, streams are a fundamental aspect of stream processing. However, streams can have different characteristics that affect how a stream can and should be processed. Flink is a versatile processing framework that can handle any kind of stream.
 Bounded and unbounded streams: Streams can be unbounded or bounded, i.e., fixed-sized data sets. Flink has sophisticated features to process unbounded streams, but also dedicated operators to efficiently process bounded streams. Real-time and recorded streams: All data are generated as streams. There are two ways to process the data. Processing it in real-time as it is generated or persisting the stream to a storage system, e.g., a file system or object store, and processed it later. Flink applications can process recorded or real-time streams. State # Every non-trivial streaming application is stateful, i.e., only applications that apply transformations on individual events do not require state. Any application that runs basic business logic needs to remember events or intermediate results to access them at a later point in time, for example when the next event is received or after a specific time duration.
 Application state is a first-class citizen in Flink. You can see that by looking at all the features that Flink provides in the context of state handling.
-Multiple State Primitives: Flink provides state primitives for different data structures, such as atomic values, lists, or maps. Developers can choose the state primitive that is most efficient based on the access pattern of the function. Pluggable State Backends: Application state is managed in and checkpointed by a pluggable state backend. Flink features different state backends that store state in memory or in RocksDB, an efficient embedded on-disk data store. Custom state backends can be plugged in as well. Exactly-once state consistency: Flink\u0026rsquo;s checkpointing and recovery algorithms guarantee the consistency of application state in case of a failure. Hence, failures are transparently handled and do not affect the correctness of an application. Very Large State: Flink is able to maintain application state of several terabytes in size due to its asynchronous and incremental checkpoint algorithm. Scalable Applications: Flink supports scaling of stateful applications by redistributing the state to more or fewer workers. Time # Time is another important ingredient of streaming applications. Most event streams have inherent time semantics because each event is produced at a specific point in time. Moreover, many common stream computations are based on time, such as windows aggregations, sessionization, pattern detection, and time-based joins. An important aspect of stream processing is how an application measures time, i.e., the difference between event-time and processing-time.

An important aspect of stream processing is how an application measures time, i.e., the difference between event-time and processing-time.
 Flink provides a rich set of time-related features.
 Event-time Mode: Applications that process streams with event-time semantics compute results based on timestamps of the events. Thereby, event-time processing allows for accurate and consistent results regardless whether recorded or real-time events are processed. Watermark Support: Flink employs watermarks to reason about time in event-time applications. Watermarks are also a flexible mechanism to trade-off the latency and completeness of results. Late Data Handling: When processing streams in event-time mode with watermarks, it can happen that a computation was considered completed before all associated events have arrived. Such events are called late events. Flink features multiple options to handle late events, such as rerouting them via side outputs and updating previously completed results. Processing-time Mode: In addition to its event-time mode, Flink also supports processing-time semantics which performs computations as triggered by the wall-clock time of the processing machine. The processing-time mode can be suitable for certain applications with strict low-latency requirements that can tolerate approximate results. Layered APIs # Flink provides three layered APIs. Each API offers a different trade-off between conciseness and expressiveness and targets different use cases.
 We briefly present each API, discuss its applications, and show a code example.
 The ProcessFunctions # ProcessFunctions are the most expressive function interfaces that Flink offers. Flink provides ProcessFunctions to process individual events from one or two input streams or events that were grouped in a window. ProcessFunctions provide fine-grained control over time and state. A ProcessFunction can arbitrarily modify its state and register timers that will trigger a callback function in the future. Hence, ProcessFunctions can implement complex per-event business logic as required for many stateful event-driven applications.
 The following example shows a KeyedProcessFunction that operates on a KeyedStream and matches START and END events. When a START event is received, the function remembers its timestamp in state and registers a timer in four hours. If an END event is received before the timer fires, the function computes the duration between END and START event, clears the state, and returns the value. Otherwise, the timer just fires and clears the state.
-/** * Matches keyed START and END events and computes the difference between * both elements\u0026#39; timestamps. The first String field is the key attribute, * the second String attribute marks START and END events. */ public static class StartEndDuration extends KeyedProcessFunction\u0026lt;String, Tuple2\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt;, Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt;\u0026gt; { private ValueState\u0026lt;Long\u0026gt; startTime; @Override public void open(Configuration conf) { // obtain state handle startTime = getRuntimeContext() .getState(new ValueStateDescriptor\u0026lt;Long\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;startTime\u0026#34;, Long.class)); } /** Called for each processed event. */ @Override public void processElement( Tuple2\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt; in, Context ctx, Collector\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt;\u0026gt; out) throws Exception { switch (in.f1) { case \u0026#34;START\u0026#34;: // set the start time if we receive a start event. startTime.update(ctx.timestamp()); // register a timer in four hours from the start event. ctx.timerService() .registerEventTimeTimer(ctx.timestamp() + 4 * 60 * 60 * 1000); break; case \u0026#34;END\u0026#34;: // emit the duration between start and end event Long sTime = startTime.value(); if (sTime != null) { out.collect(Tuple2.of(in.f0, ctx.timestamp() - sTime)); // clear the state startTime.clear(); } default: // do nothing } } /** Called when a timer fires. */ @Override public void onTimer( long timestamp, OnTimerContext ctx, Collector\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt;\u0026gt; out) { // Timeout interval exceeded. Cleaning up the state. startTime.clear(); } } The example illustrates the expressive power of the KeyedProcessFunction but also highlights that it is a rather verbose interface.

Cleaning up the state. startTime.clear(); } } The example illustrates the expressive power of the KeyedProcessFunction but also highlights that it is a rather verbose interface.
 The DataStream API # The DataStream API provides primitives for many common stream processing operations, such as windowing, record-at-a-time transformations, and enriching events by querying an external data store. The DataStream API is available for Java and Scala and is based on functions, such as map(), reduce(), and aggregate(). Functions can be defined by extending interfaces or as Java or Scala lambda functions.
 The following example shows how to sessionize a clickstream and count the number of clicks per session.
-// a stream of website clicks DataStream\u0026lt;Click\u0026gt; clicks = ... DataStream\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt;\u0026gt; result = clicks // project clicks to userId and add a 1 for counting .map( // define function by implementing the MapFunction interface. new MapFunction\u0026lt;Click, Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt;\u0026gt;() { @Override public Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt; map(Click click) { return Tuple2.of(click.userId, 1L); } }) // key by userId (field 0) .keyBy(0) // define session window with 30 minute gap .window(EventTimeSessionWindows.withGap(Time.minutes(30L))) // count clicks per session. Define function as lambda function. .reduce((a, b) -\u0026gt; Tuple2.of(a.f0, a.f1 + b.f1)); SQL \u0026amp; Table API # Flink features two relational APIs, the Table API and SQL . Both APIs are unified APIs for batch and stream processing, i.e., queries are executed with the same semantics on unbounded, real-time streams or bounded, recorded streams and produce the same results. The Table API and SQL leverage Apache Calcite for parsing, validation, and query optimization. They can be seamlessly integrated with the DataStream and DataSet APIs and support user-defined scalar, aggregate, and table-valued functions.
-Flink\u0026rsquo;s relational APIs are designed to ease the definition of data analytics, data pipelining, and ETL applications.

 The following example shows the SQL query to sessionize a clickstream and count the number of clicks per session. This is the same use case as in the example of the DataStream API.
-SELECT userId, COUNT(*) FROM clicks GROUP BY SESSION(clicktime, INTERVAL \u0026#39;30\u0026#39; MINUTE), userId Libraries # Flink features several libraries for common data processing use cases. The libraries are typically embedded in an API and not fully self-contained. Hence, they can benefit from all features of the API and be integrated with other libraries.
-Complex Event Processing (CEP) : Pattern detection is a very common use case for event stream processing. Flink\u0026rsquo;s CEP library provides an API to specify patterns of events (think of regular expressions or state machines). The CEP library is integrated with Flink\u0026rsquo;s DataStream API, such that patterns are evaluated on DataStreams. Applications for the CEP library include network intrusion detection, business process monitoring, and fraud detection.
-DataSet API : The DataSet API is Flink\u0026rsquo;s core API for batch processing applications. The primitives of the DataSet API include map, reduce, (outer) join, co-group, and iterate. All operations are backed by algorithms and data structures that operate on serialized data in memory and spill to disk if the data size exceed the memory budget. The data processing algorithms of Flink\u0026rsquo;s DataSet API are inspired by traditional database operators, such as hybrid hash-join or external merge-sort. Starting with Flink 1.12 the DataSet API has been soft deprecated.

Since many streaming applications are designed to run continuously with minimal downtime, a stream processor must provide excellent failure recovery, as well as tooling to monitor and maintain applications while they are running.

+Apache Flink puts a strong focus on the operational aspects of stream processing. Here, we explain Flink&rsquo;s failure recovery mechanism and present its features to manage and supervise running applications.
 Run Your Applications Non-Stop 24/7 # Machine and process failures are ubiquitous in distributed systems. A distributed stream processor like Flink must recover from failures in order to be able to run streaming applications 24/7. Obviously, this does not only mean to restart an application after a failure but also to ensure that its internal state remains consistent, such that the application can continue processing as if the failure had never happened.
 Flink provides several features to ensure that applications keep running and remain consistent:
-Consistent Checkpoints: Flink\u0026rsquo;s recovery mechanism is based on consistent checkpoints of an application\u0026rsquo;s state. In case of a failure, the application is restarted and its state is loaded from the latest checkpoint. In combination with resettable stream sources, this feature can guarantee exactly-once state consistency. Efficient Checkpoints: Checkpointing the state of an application can be quite expensive if the application maintains terabytes of state. Flink can perform asynchronous and incremental checkpoints, in order to keep the impact of checkpoints on the application\u0026rsquo;s latency SLAs very small. End-to-End Exactly-Once: Flink features transactional sinks for specific storage systems that guarantee that data is only written out exactly once, even in case of failures. Integration with Cluster Managers: Flink is tightly integrated with cluster managers, such as Hadoop YARN or Kubernetes. When a process fails, a new process is automatically started to take over its work. High-Availability Setup: Flink features a high-availability mode that eliminates all single-points-of-failure. The HA-mode is based on Apache ZooKeeper, a battle-proven service for reliable distributed coordination. Update, Migrate, Suspend, and Resume Your Applications # Streaming applications that power business-critical services need to be maintained. Bugs need to be fixed and improvements or new features need to be implemented. However, updating a stateful streaming application is not trivial. Often one cannot simply stop the applications and restart a fixed or improved version because one cannot afford to lose the state of the application.
-Flink\u0026rsquo;s Savepoints are a unique and powerful feature that solves the issue of updating stateful applications and many other related challenges. A savepoint is a consistent snapshot of an application\u0026rsquo;s state and therefore very similar to a checkpoint. However in contrast to checkpoints, savepoints need to be manually triggered and are not automatically removed when an application is stopped. A savepoint can be used to start a state-compatible application and initialize its state. Savepoints enable the following features:

However in contrast to checkpoints, savepoints need to be manually triggered and are not automatically removed when an application is stopped. A savepoint can be used to start a state-compatible application and initialize its state. Savepoints enable the following features:
 Application Evolution: Savepoints can be used to evolve applications. A fixed or improved version of an application can be restarted from a savepoint that was taken from a previous version of the application. It is also possible to start the application from an earlier point in time (given such a savepoint exists) to repair incorrect results produced by the flawed version. Cluster Migration: Using savepoints, applications can be migrated (or cloned) to different clusters. Flink Version Updates: An application can be migrated to run on a new Flink version using a savepoint. Application Scaling: Savepoints can be used to increase or decrease the parallelism of an application. A/B Tests and What-If Scenarios: The performance or quality of two (or more) different versions of an application can be compared by starting all versions from the same savepoint. Pause and Resume: An application can be paused by taking a savepoint and stopping it. At any later point in time, the application can be resumed from the savepoint. Archiving: Savepoints can be archived to be able to reset the state of an application to an earlier point in time. Monitor and Control Your Applications # Just like any other service, continuously running streaming applications need to be supervised and integrated into the operations infrastructure, i.e., monitoring and logging services, of an organization. Monitoring helps to anticipate problems and react ahead of time. Logging enables root-cause analysis to investigate failures. Finally, easily accessible interfaces to control running applications are an important feature.
 Flink integrates nicely with many common logging and monitoring services and provides a REST API to control applications and query information.
-Web UI: Flink features a web UI to inspect, monitor, and debug running applications. It can also be used to submit executions for execution or cancel them. Logging: Flink implements the popular slf4j logging interface and integrates with the logging frameworks log4j or logback. Metrics: Flink features a sophisticated metrics system to collect and report system and user-defined metrics. Metrics can be exported to several reporters, including JMX, Ganglia, Graphite, Prometheus, StatsD, Datadog, and Slf4j. REST API: Flink exposes a REST API to submit a new application, take a savepoint of a running application, or cancel an application. The REST API also exposes metadata and collected metrics of running or completed applications. `}),e.add({id:7,href:"/getting-started/with-flink-ml/",title:"With Flink ML",section:"Getting Started",content:" Getting Started with Flink ML # Read how you can get started with Flink ML here.

 Below, we explore the most common types of applications that are powered by Flink and give pointers to real-world examples.
 Event-driven Applications Data Analytics Applications Data Pipeline Applications Event-driven Applications # What are event-driven applications? # An event-driven application is a stateful application that ingest events from one or more event streams and reacts to incoming events by triggering computations, state updates, or external actions.
 Event-driven applications are an evolution of the traditional application design with separated compute and data storage tiers. In this architecture, applications read data from and persist data to a remote transactional database.
 In contrast, event-driven applications are based on stateful stream processing applications. In this design, data and computation are co-located, which yields local (in-memory or disk) data access. Fault-tolerance is achieved by periodically writing checkpoints to a remote persistent storage. The figure below depicts the difference between the traditional application architecture and event-driven applications.
 What are the advantages of event-driven applications? # Instead of querying a remote database, event-driven applications access their data locally which yields better performance, both in terms of throughput and latency. The periodic checkpoints to a remote persistent storage can be asynchronously and incrementally done. Hence, the impact of checkpointing on the regular event processing is very small. However, the event-driven application design provides more benefits than just local data access. In the tiered architecture, it is common that multiple applications share the same database. Hence, any change of the database, such as changing the data layout due to an application update or scaling the service, needs to be coordinated. Since each event-driven application is responsible for its own data, changes to the data representation or scaling the application requires less coordination.
-How does Flink support event-driven applications? # The limits of event-driven applications are defined by how well a stream processor can handle time and state. Many of Flink\u0026rsquo;s outstanding features are centered around these concepts. Flink provides a rich set of state primitives that can manage very large data volumes (up to several terabytes) with exactly-once consistency guarantees. Moreover, Flink\u0026rsquo;s support for event-time, highly customizable window logic, and fine-grained control of time as provided by the ProcessFunction enable the implementation of advanced business logic. Moreover, Flink features a library for Complex Event Processing (CEP) to detect patterns in data streams.
-However, Flink\u0026rsquo;s outstanding feature for event-driven applications is savepoint. A savepoint is a consistent state image that can be used as a starting point for compatible applications. Given a savepoint, an application can be updated or adapt its scale, or multiple versions of an application can be started for A/B testing.

 What are typical event-driven applications? # Fraud detection Anomaly detection Rule-based alerting Business process monitoring Web application (social network) Data Analytics Applications # What are data analytics applications? # Analytical jobs extract information and insight from raw data. Traditionally, analytics are performed as batch queries or applications on bounded data sets of recorded events. In order to incorporate the latest data into the result of the analysis, it has to be added to the analyzed data set and the query or application is rerun. The results are written to a storage system or emitted as reports.
 With a sophisticated stream processing engine, analytics can also be performed in a real-time fashion. Instead of reading finite data sets, streaming queries or applications ingest real-time event streams and continuously produce and update results as events are consumed. The results are either written to an external database or maintained as internal state. Dashboard application can read the latest results from the external database or directly query the internal state of the application.
 Apache Flink supports streaming as well as batch analytical applications as shown in the figure below.
 What are the advantages of streaming analytics applications? # The advantages of continuous streaming analytics compared to batch analytics are not limited to a much lower latency from events to insight due to elimination of periodic import and query execution. In contrast to batch queries, streaming queries do not have to deal with artificial boundaries in the input data which are caused by periodic imports and the bounded nature of the input.
-Another aspect is a simpler application architecture. A batch analytics pipeline consist of several independent components to periodically schedule data ingestion and query execution. Reliably operating such a pipeline is non-trivial because failures of one component affect the following steps of the pipeline. In contrast, a streaming analytics application which runs on a sophisticated stream processor like Flink incorporates all steps from data ingestions to continuous result computation. Therefore, it can rely on the engine\u0026rsquo;s failure recovery mechanism.
-How does Flink support data analytics applications? # Flink provides very good support for continuous streaming as well as batch analytics. Specifically, it features an ANSI-compliant SQL interface with unified semantics for batch and streaming queries. SQL queries compute the same result regardless whether they are run on a static data set of recorded events or on a real-time event stream. Rich support for user-defined functions ensures that custom code can be executed in SQL queries. If even more custom logic is required, Flink\u0026rsquo;s DataStream API or DataSet API provide more low-level control.
-What are typical data analytics applications? # Quality monitoring of Telco networks Analysis of product updates \u0026amp; experiment evaluation in mobile applications Ad-hoc analysis of live data in consumer technology Large-scale graph analysis Data Pipeline Applications # What are data pipelines? # Extract-transform-load (ETL) is a common approach to convert and move data between storage systems. Often ETL jobs are periodically triggered to copy data from transactional database systems to an analytical database or a data warehouse.

Often ETL jobs are periodically triggered to copy data from transactional database systems to an analytical database or a data warehouse.
 Data pipelines serve a similar purpose as ETL jobs. They transform and enrich data and can move it from one storage system to another. However, they operate in a continuous streaming mode instead of being periodically triggered. Hence, they are able to read records from sources that continuously produce data and move it with low latency to their destination. For example a data pipeline might monitor a file system directory for new files and write their data into an event log. Another application might materialize an event stream to a database or incrementally build and refine a search index.
 The figure below depicts the difference between periodic ETL jobs and continuous data pipelines.
 What are the advantages of data pipelines? # The obvious advantage of continuous data pipelines over periodic ETL jobs is the reduced latency of moving data to its destination. Moreover, data pipelines are more versatile and can be employed for more use cases because they are able to continuously consume and emit data.

Flink provides a rich set of connectors to various storage systems such as Kafka, Kinesis, Elasticsearch, and JDBC database systems. It also features continuous sources for file systems that monitor directories and sinks that write files in a time-bucketed fashion.

 As of March 2023, the Flink community decided that upon release of a new Flink minor version, the community will perform one final bugfix release for resolved critical/blocker issues in the Flink minor version losing support. If 1.16.1 is the current release and 1.15.4 is the latest previous patch version, once 1.17.0 is released we will create a 1.15.5 to flush out any resolved critical/blocker issues.
 Note that the community is always open to discussing bugfix releases for even older versions. Please get in touch with the developers for that on the dev@flink.apache.org mailing list.

 Feature Radar # The feature radar is meant to give users guidance regarding feature maturity, as well as which features are approaching end-of-life. For questions, please contact the developer mailing list: dev@flink.apache.org
 Feature Stages # MVP: Have a look, consider whether this can help you in the future. Beta: You can benefit from this, but you should carefully evaluate the feature. Ready and Evolving: Ready to use in production, but be aware you may need to make some adjustments to your application and setup in the future, when you upgrade Flink. Stable: Unrestricted use in production Approaching End-of-Life: Stable, still feel free to use, but think about alternatives. Not a good match for new long-lived projects. Deprecated: Start looking for alternatives now Scenarios We Focus On # Batch / Streaming Unification and Mixing # Flink is a streaming data system in its core, that executes “batch as a special case of streaming”. Efficient execution of batch jobs is powerful in its own right; but even more so, batch processing capabilities (efficient processing of bounded streams) open the way for a seamless unification of batch and streaming applications. Unified streaming/batch up-levels the streaming data paradigm: It gives users consistent semantics across their real-time and lag-time applications. Furthermore, streaming applications often need to be complemented by batch (bounded stream) processing, for example when reprocessing data after bugs or data quality issues, or when bootstrapping new applications. A unified API and system make this much easier.
-Both DataStream API and SQL provide unified API to execute the same application in different modes of batch and streaming. There have been some efforts to make the unification much more seamless, such as unified Source API (FLIP-27) and SinkV2 API (FLIP-191). Beyond unification, we want to go one step further. Our goal is to mix and switch between batch/streaming execution in the future to make it a seamless experience. We have supported checkpointing when some tasks are finished \u0026amp; bounded stream programs shut down with a final checkpoint (FLIP-147). There are initial discussions and designs about jobs with mixed batch/streaming execution, so stay tuned for more news in that area.

 Dynamic checkpoint interval for processing bounded stream of historical data and unbounded stream of incremental data (FLIP-309). Event notification mechanism for the boundary of bounded part and unbounded part in a stream. This can unlock many exciting features and improvements, such as FLINK-19830. Bootstrap states using a batch job (bounded stream program) with a final checkpoint, and continue processing with a streaming job (unbounded stream program) from the checkpoint and state. Unified SQL Platform # The community has been building Flink to a powerful basis for a unified (batch and streaming) SQL analytics platform and is continuing to do so.
 SQL has very strong cross-batch-streaming semantics, allowing users to use the same queries for ad-hoc analytics and as continuous queries. Flink already contains an efficient unified query engine and a wide set of integrations. With user feedback, those are continuously improved.
 Going Beyond a SQL Stream/Batch Processing Engine # The experience of updating Flink SQL based jobs has been rather cumbersome as it could have led to new job graphs making restoring from savepoints/checkpoints impossible. FLIP-190 which already has been shipped as MVP is targeting this. To extend the capability of a stream-batch processing engine and make Flink ready for the unified SQL platform, there is an ongoing effort to allow Flink better manage data and metadata, including DELETE/UPDATE, Call Procedures, rich DDLs, Time Travel, and so on. This is especially useful for building a lakehouse with Flink and Paimon/Iceberg/Hudi. There are some initial discussions to support JSON data type for Flink SQL. This can enable Flink SQL to better analyze semi-structured data and better adapt to NoSQL databases. Platform Infrastructure # After FLIP-163 the community is working again on a set of SQL Client usability improvements (FLIP-189, FLIP-222) which is aiming at improving the user experience when using the SQL client. To simplify the building of production SQL platforms with Flink, we are improving the SQL Gateway component as the service of the Flink SQL platform. There are many ongoing exciting features around it, including supporting application mode (FLIP-316), JDBC driver client (FLIP-293), persisted catalog registration (FLIP-295), authentication, and high availability. Support for Common Languages # Hive syntax compatibility can help users migrate existing Hive SQL tasks to Flink seamlessly, and it is convenient for users who are familiar with Hive syntax to use Hive syntax to write SQL to query tables registered in Flink. Until now, the Hive syntax compatibility has reached 94.1% which is measured using the Hive qtest suite. Flink community is continuously improving the compatibility and execution performance (FLINK-29717). With FLIP-216 there’s now the initiative to introduce pluggable SQL dialects on the example of the Hive syntax. It makes Flink easier to support other SQL dialects in the future, for example, Spark SQL and PostgreSQL. Towards Streaming Warehouses # Flink has become the leading technology and factual standard for stream processing. The concept of unifying streaming and batch data processing is gaining recognition and is being successfully implemented in more and more companies. To further unify streaming-batch analytics, Flink has proposed the concept of Streaming Warehouse. This new concept aims to unify not only computation but also storage, ensuring that data flows and is processed in real time. As a result, the data in the warehouse is always up-to-date, and any analytics or insights generated from it reflect the current state of the business. This combines the advantages of traditional data warehouses with real-time insights.

 We are planning to remove some long deprecated APIs in Flink 2.0, to make Flink move faster, including: The DataSet API, all Scala APIs, the legacy SinkV1 API, the legacy TableSource/TableSink API Deprecated methods / fields / classes in the DataStream API, Table API and REST API Deprecated configuration options and metrics We are also planning to retire the legacy SourceFunction / SinkFunction APIs, and Queryable State API in the long term. This may not happen shortly, as the prerequisites for users to migrate from these APIs are not fully met at the moment. We are aware of some problems of the current DataStream API, such as the exposing of and dependencies on the Flink internal implementations, which requires significant changes to fix. To provide a smooth migration experience, the community is designing a new ProcessFunction API, which aims to gradually replace the DataStream API in the long term. Flink as an Application # The goal of these efforts is to make it feel natural to deploy (long-running streaming) Flink applications. Instead of starting a cluster and submitting a job to that cluster, these efforts support deploying a streaming job as a self-contained application.
 For example as a simple Kubernetes deployment; deployed and scaled like a regular application without extra workflows.
 There is currently a Flink Kubernetes Operator subproject being developed by the community and has its own roadmap under the documentation. Streaming query as an application. Make SQL Client/Gateway supports submitting SQL jobs in the application mode (FLIP-316). Performance # Continuous work to keep improving the performance of both Flink streaming and batch processing.
-Large-Scale Streaming Jobs # Streaming Join is a headache for Flink users because of its large-scale state. The community is putting lots of effort into further improving the performance of streaming join, such as minibatch join, multi-way join, and reducing duplicated states. The community is also continuously improving and working on some other joins, such as unordered async lookup join and processing-time temporal join (FLIP-326). They can be very efficient alternatives for streaming joins. Change data capture and processing with Flink SQL is widely used, and the community is improving cost and performance in this case, e.g. reducing normalize and materialize state. Faster Batch Queries # The community\u0026rsquo;s goal is to make Flink\u0026rsquo;s performance on bounded streams (batch use cases) competitive with that of dedicated batch processors. While Flink has been shown to handle some batch processing use cases faster than widely-used batch processors, there are some ongoing efforts to make sure this is the case for broader use cases: The community has introduced Dynamic Partition Pruning (DPP) which aims to minimize I/O costs of the data read from the data sources. There are some ongoing efforts to further reduce the I/O and shuffle costs, such as Runtime Filter (FLIP-324). Operator Fusion CodeGen (FLIP-315) improves the execution performance of a query by fusing an operator DAG into a single optimized operator that eliminates virtual function calls and leverages CPU registers for intermediate data. The community has supported some adaptive batch execution and scheduling (FLIP-187). We are trying to support broader adaptive cases, such as Adaptive Query Execution that makes use of runtime statistics to choose the most efficient query execution plan. The community has started improving scheduler and execution performance (FLINK-25318) for short-lived jobs to support OLAP. Flink executes “OLAP as a special case of batch”, we are trying to extend Flink to execute low-latency and currency queries in Session Cluster and users can perform streaming, batch, and OLAP data processing on the unified Flink engine.

 Stability # The community is keeping improving the stability of jobs, by better tolerating failures, and speeding up the recovery process.
 The instability of the environment is unavoidable. It can lead to a crash of JobManager and TaskManager nodes, or slow data processing. The community has introduced speculative execution (FLIP-168, FLIP-245, FLIP-281) for batch jobs to reduce the impact of problematic machines which slows down data processing.
 JobManager node crash is usually unacceptable for a batch job because the job has to be re-run from the very beginning. Therefore, the community is planning to improve the JobManager recovery process to avoid re-run finished stages. Another planned improvement is to retain running tasks when the JobManager node goes down unexpectedly, to further reduce the impact of the JobManager crash. This can also benefit streaming jobs even if they have periodical checkpointing, to avoid interruption or regression of data processing in this case.

 All connectors will be hosted in an external repository going forward and many of them have been successfully externalized. See the mailing list thread. Catalog as a first-class citizen. Flink catalog lets users issue batch and streaming queries connecting to external systems without registering DDLs/schemas manually. It is recommended to support Catalog in the highest priority for connectors. The community is working on supporting more catalogs for connectors (e.g. GlueCatalog, SchemaRegistryCatalog).

 There is no strict protocol for becoming a committer or PMC member. Candidates for new committers are typically people that are active contributors and community members.
 Candidates for new committers are suggested by current committers or PMC members, and voted upon by the PMC.
 If you would like to become a committer, you should engage with the community and start contributing to Apache Flink in any of the above ways. You might also want to talk to other committers and ask for their advice and guidance.
 What are we looking for in Committers # Being a committer means being recognized as a significant contributor to the project (community or technology), and having the tools to help with the development. Committer candidates are community members who have made good contributions over an extended period of time and want to continue their contributions.
-Community contributions include helping to answer user questions on the mailing list, verifying release candidates, giving talks, organizing community events, and other forms of evangelism and community building. The \u0026ldquo;Apache Way\u0026rdquo; has a strong focus on the project community, and committers can be recognized for outstanding community contributions even without any code contributions.

The &ldquo;Apache Way&rdquo; has a strong focus on the project community, and committers can be recognized for outstanding community contributions even without any code contributions.
 Code/technology contributions include contributed pull requests (patches), design discussions, reviews, testing, and other help in identifying and fixing bugs. Especially constructive and high quality design discussions, as well as helping other contributors, are strong indicators.

+While the prior points give ways to identify promising candidates, the following are &ldquo;must haves&rdquo; for any committer candidate:
 Being community minded: The candidate understands the meritocratic principles of community management. They do not always optimize for as much as possible personal contribution, but will help and empower others where it makes sense.
-We trust that a committer candidate will use their write access to the repositories responsibly, and if in doubt, conservatively. Flink is a big system, and it is important that committers are aware of what they know and what they don\u0026rsquo;t know. In doubt, committers should ask for a second pair of eyes rather than commit to parts that they are not well familiar with. (Even the most seasoned committers follow this practice.)

 They have shown to be respectful towards other community members and constructive in discussions.
-What are we looking for in PMC members # The PMC is the official controlling body of the project. PMC members \u0026ldquo;must\u0026rdquo; be able to perform the official responsibilities of the PMC (verify releases and growth of committers/PMC). We \u0026ldquo;want\u0026rdquo; them to be people that have a vision for Flink, technology and community wise.
-For the avoidance of doubt, not every PMC member needs to know all details of how exactly Flink\u0026rsquo;s release process works (it is okay to understand the gist and how to find the details). Likewise, not every PMC member needs to be a visionary. We strive to build a PMC that covers all parts well, understanding that each member brings different strengths.

 Ideally, we find candidates among active community members that have shown initiative to shape the direction of Flink (technology and community) and have shown willingness to learn the official processes, such as how to create or verify for releases.

We hence must trust the PMC candidates to be level-headed, constructive, supportive, and willing to \u0026ldquo;disagree and commit\u0026rdquo; at times.

+In most cases, the discussion should happen in Flink&rsquo;s bug tracker: Jira.
 The following types of changes require a [DISCUSS] thread on the Flink Dev mailing list:
 big changes (major new feature; big refactorings, involving multiple components) potentially controversial changes or issues changes with very unclear approaches or multiple equal approaches Do not open a Jira ticket for these types of changes before the discussion has come to a conclusion. Jira tickets based on a dev@ discussion need to link to that discussion and should summarize the outcome.
 Requirements for a Jira ticket to get consensus:
-Formal requirements The Title describes the problem concisely. The Description gives all the details needed to understand the problem or feature request. The Component field is set: Many committers and contributors only focus on certain subsystems of Flink. Setting the appropriate component is important for getting their attention. There is agreement that the ticket solves a valid problem, and that it is a good fit for Flink. The Flink community considers the following aspects: Does the contribution alter the behavior of features or components in a way that it may break previous users’ programs and setups? If yes, there needs to be a discussion and agreement that this change is desirable. Does the contribution conceptually fit well into Flink? Is it too much of a special case such that it makes things more complicated for the common case, or bloats the abstractions / APIs? Does the feature fit well into Flink’s architecture? Will it scale and keep Flink flexible for the future, or will the feature restrict Flink in the future? Is the feature a significant new addition (rather than an improvement to an existing part)? If yes, will the Flink community commit to maintaining this feature? Does this feature align well with Flink\u0026rsquo;s roadmap and currently ongoing efforts? Does the feature produce added value for Flink users or developers? Or does it introduce the risk of regression without adding relevant user or developer benefit? Could the contribution live in another repository, e.g., Apache Bahir or another external repository? Is this a contribution just for the sake of getting a commit in an open source project (fixing typos, style changes merely for taste reasons) There is consensus on how to solve the problem. This includes considerations such as API and data backwards compatibility and migration strategies Testing strategies Impact on Flink\u0026rsquo;s build time Dependencies and their licenses If a change is identified as a large or controversial change in the discussion on Jira, it might require a Flink Improvement Proposal (FLIP) or a discussion on the Dev mailing list to reach agreement and consensus.

 Set up a Flink development environment Follow the Code Style and Quality Guide of Flink Take any discussions and requirements from the Jira issue or design document into account. Do not mix unrelated issues into one contribution. 3. Open a Pull Request # Considerations before opening a pull request:

Make sure no unrelated or unnecessary reformatting changes are included. Make sure your commit history adheres to the requirements. Make sure your change has been rebased to the latest commits in your base branch.

 A code contribution (or any piece of code) can be evaluated in various ways: One set of properties is whether the code is correct and efficient. This requires solving the logical or algorithmic problem correctly and well.
 Another set of properties is whether the code follows an intuitive design and architecture, whether it is well structured with right separation of concerns, and whether the code is easily understandable and makes its assumptions explicit. That set of properties requires solving the software engineering problem well. A good solution implies that the code is easily testable, maintainable also by other people than the original authors (because it is harder to accidentally break), and efficient to evolve.
 While the first set of properties has rather objective approval criteria, the second set of properties is much harder to assess, but is of high importance for an open source project like Apache Flink. To make the code base inviting to many contributors, to make contributions easy to understand for developers that did not write the original code, and to make the code robust in the face of many contributions, well engineered code is crucial.1 For well engineered code, it is easier to keep it correct and fast over time.
 This is of course not a full guide on how to write well engineered code. There is a world of big books that try to capture that. This guide is meant as a checklist of best practices, patterns, anti-patterns, and common mistakes that we observed in the context of developing Flink.
 A big part of high-quality open source contributions is about helping the reviewer to understand the contribution and double-check the implications, so an important part of this guide is about how to structure a pull request for review.

 Language Style # Below, you find some basic guidelines that can help ensure readability and accessibility in your writing. For a deeper and more complete dive into language style, also refer to the General Guiding Principles.
 Voice and Tone # Use active voice. Active voice supports brevity and makes content more engaging. If you add by zombies after the verb in a sentence and it still makes sense, you are using the passive voice.
-Active Voice \u0026ldquo;You can run this example in your IDE or on the command line.\u0026rdquo; Passive Voice \u0026ldquo;This example can be run in your IDE or on the command line (by zombies).\u0026rdquo; Use you, never we.

Using we can be confusing and patronizing to some users, giving the impression that “we are all members of a secret club and you didn’t get a membership invite”. Address the user as you.
 Avoid gender- and culture-specific language. There is no need to identify gender in documentation: technical writing should be gender-neutral. Also, jargon and conventions that you take for granted in your own language or culture are often different elsewhere. Humor is a staple example: a great joke in one culture can be widely misinterpreted in another.
 Avoid qualifying and prejudging actions. For a user that is frustrated or struggling to complete an action, using words like quick or easy can lead to a poor documentation experience.
 Avoid using uppercase words to highlight or emphasize statements. Highlighting key words with e.g. bold or italic font usually appears more polite. If you want to draw attention to important but not obvious statements, try to group them into separate paragraphs starting with a label, highlighted with a corresponding HTML tag:
-\u0026lt;span class=\u0026quot;label label-info\u0026quot;\u0026gt;Note\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt; \u0026lt;span class=\u0026quot;label label-warning\u0026quot;\u0026gt;Warning\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt; \u0026lt;span class=\u0026quot;label label-danger\u0026quot;\u0026gt;Danger\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt; Using Flink-specific Terms # Use clear definitions of terms or provide additional instructions on what something means by adding a link to a helpful resource, such as other documentation pages or the Flink Glossary.

 Repository # Markdown files (.md) should have a short name that summarizes the topic covered, spelled in lowercase and with dashes (-) separating the words. The Chinese version file should have the same name as the English version, but stored in the content.zh folder.
 Syntax # The documentation website is generated using Hugo and the pages are written in Markdown, a lightweight portable format for web publishing (but not limited to it).
 Extended Syntax # Markdown can also be used in combination with GitHub Flavored Markdown and plain HTML. For example, some contributors prefer to use HTML tags for images and are free to do so with this intermix.
 Front Matter # In addition to Markdown, each file contains a YAML front matter block that will be used to set variables and metadata on the page. The front matter must be the first thing in the file and must be specified as a valid YAML set between triple-dashed lines.
 Apache License # For every documentation file, the front matter should be immediately followed by the Apache License statement. For both language versions, this block must be stated in US English and copied in the exact same words as inthe following example.

See the License for the specific language governing permissions and limitations under the License. --&gt; Below are the front matter variables most commonly used along the Flink documentation.
 Variable Possible Values Description Layout layout {base,plain,redirect} The layout file to use. Layout files are located under the _layouts directory. Content title %s The title to be used as the top-level (Level-1) heading for the page. Navigation nav-id %s The ID of the page. Other pages can use this ID as their nav-parent_id. nav-parent_id {root,%s} The ID of the parent page. The lowest navigation level is root. nav-pos %d The relative position of pages per navigation level. nav-title %s The title to use as an override of the default link text (title). Documentation-wide information and configuration settings that sit under _config.yml are also available to the front matter through the site variable. These settings can be accessed using the following syntax:
-{{ \u0026#34;{{ site.CONFIG_KEY \u0026#34; }}}} The placeholder will be replaced with the value of the variable named CONFIG_KEY when generating the documentation.
+{{ &#34;{{ site.CONFIG_KEY &#34; }}}} The placeholder will be replaced with the value of the variable named CONFIG_KEY when generating the documentation.
 Formatting # Listed in the following sections are the basic formatting guidelines to get you started with writing documentation that is consistent and simple to navigate.
 Headings # In Markdown, headings are any line prefixed with a hash (#), with the number of hashes indicating the level of the heading. Headings should be nested and consecutive — never skip a header level for styling reasons!
-Syntax Level Description # Heading Level-1 The page title is defined in the Front Matter, so this level should not be used. ## Heading Level-2 Starting level for Sections. Used to organize content by higher-level topics or goals. ### Heading Level-3 Sub-sections. Used in each Section to separate supporting information or tasks. #### Heading Level-4 Best Practice # Use descriptive language in the phrasing of headings. For example, for a documentation page on dynamic tables, \u0026ldquo;Dynamic Tables and Continuous Queries\u0026rdquo; is more descriptive than \u0026ldquo;Background\u0026rdquo; or \u0026ldquo;Technical Information\u0026rdquo;.

For example, for a documentation page on dynamic tables, &ldquo;Dynamic Tables and Continuous Queries&rdquo; is more descriptive than &ldquo;Background&rdquo; or &ldquo;Technical Information&rdquo;.
 Table of Contents # In the documentation build, the Table Of Contents (TOC) is automatically generated from the headings of the page using the following line of markup:
-{{ \u0026#34;{:toc\u0026#34; }}} All headings up to Level-3 are considered. To exclude a particular heading from the TOC:
-{{ \u0026#34;# Excluded Heading {:.no_toc\u0026#34; }}} Best Practice # Write a short and concise introduction to the topic that is being covered and place it before the TOC. A little context, such an outline of key messages, goes a long way in ensuring that the documentation is consistent and accessible to all levels of knowledge.

 Navigation # In the documentation build, navigation is defined using properties configured in the front-matter variables of each page.
-It\u0026rsquo;s possible to use Back to Top links in extensive documentation pages, so that users can navigate to the top of the page without having to scroll back up manually. In markup, this is implemented as a placeholder that is replaced with a default link when generating the documentation:
-{{ \u0026#34;{% top \u0026#34; }}%} Best Practice # It\u0026rsquo;s recommended to use Back to Top links at least at the end of each Level-2 section.

 Annotations # In case you want to include edge cases, tightly related information or nice-to-knows in the documentation, it’s a (very) good practice to highlight them using special annotations.
 To highlight a tip or piece of information that may be helpful to know:
-\u0026lt;div class=\u0026#34;alert alert-info\u0026#34;\u0026gt; // Info Message \u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; To signal danger of pitfalls or call attention to an important piece of information that is crucial to follow:

 Links to sections in the page. Each heading generates an implicit identifier to directly link it within a page. This identifier is generated by making the heading lowercase and replacing internal spaces with hyphens.
 Heading: ## Heading Title ID: #heading-title [Link Text](#heading-title) Links to other pages of the Flink documentation.
 [Link Text]({% link path/to/link-page.md %}) Links to external pages
-[Link Text](external_url) Best Practice # Use descriptive links that provide information on the action or destination. For example, avoid using \u0026ldquo;Learn More\u0026rdquo; or \u0026ldquo;Click Here\u0026rdquo; links.
+[Link Text](external_url) Best Practice # Use descriptive links that provide information on the action or destination. For example, avoid using &ldquo;Learn More&rdquo; or &ldquo;Click Here&rdquo; links.
 Visual Elements # Figures and other visual elements are placed under the root fig folder and can be referenced in documentation pages using a syntax similar to that of links:
 Best Practice # Use flowcharts, tables and figures where appropriate or necessary for additional clarification, but never as a standalone source of information. Make sure that any text included in those elements is large enough to read and that the overall resolution is adequate.
 Code # Inline code. Small code snippets or references to language constructs in normal text flow should be highlighted using surrounding backticks ( \` ).
 Code blocks. Code that represents self-contained examples, feature walkthroughs, demonstration of best practices or other useful scenarios should be wrapped using a fenced code block with appropriate syntax highlighting. One way of achieving this with markup is:
 \`\`\`java // Java Code \`\`\` When specifying multiple programming languages, each code block should be styled as a tab:
-\u0026lt;div class=\u0026#34;codetabs\u0026#34; markdown=\u0026#34;1\u0026#34;\u0026gt; \u0026lt;div data-lang=\u0026#34;java\u0026#34; markdown=\u0026#34;1\u0026#34;\u0026gt; \`\`\`java // Java Code \`\`\` \u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; \u0026lt;div data-lang=\u0026#34;scala\u0026#34; markdown=\u0026#34;1\u0026#34;\u0026gt; \`\`\`scala // Scala Code \`\`\` \u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/div\u0026gt; These code blocks are often used to learn and explore, so there are a few best practices to keep in mind:
+&lt;div class=&#34;codetabs&#34; markdown=&#34;1&#34;&gt; &lt;div data-lang=&#34;java&#34; markdown=&#34;1&#34;&gt; \`\`\`java // Java Code \`\`\` &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div data-lang=&#34;scala&#34; markdown=&#34;1&#34;&gt; \`\`\`scala // Scala Code \`\`\` &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; These code blocks are often used to learn and explore, so there are a few best practices to keep in mind:
 Showcase key development tasks. Reserve code examples for common implementation scenarios that are meaningful for users. Leave more lengthy and complicated examples for tutorials or walkthroughs.
 Ensure the code is standalone. Code examples should be self-contained and not have external dependencies (except for outlier cases such as examples on how to use specific connectors). Include all import statements without using wildcards, so that newcomers can understand and learn which packages are being used.
 Avoid shortcuts. For example, handle exceptions and cleanup as you would in real-world code.
 Include comments, but don’t overdo it. Provide an introduction describing the main functionality of the code and possible caveats that might not be obvious from reading it. Use comments to clarify implementation details and to describe the expected output.
 Commands in code blocks. Commands can be documented using bash syntax highlighted code blocks. The following items should be considered when adding commands to the documentation:
-Use long parameter names. Long parameter names help the reader to understand the purpose of the command. They should be preferred over their short counterparts. One parameter per line. Using long parameter names makes the command possibly harder to read. Putting one parameter per line improves the readability. You need to add a backslash \\ escaping the newline at the end of each intermediate line to support copy\u0026amp;paste. Indentation. Each new parameter line should be indented by 6 spaces. Use $ prefix to indicate command start. The readability of the code block might worsen having multiple commands in place. Putting a dollar sign $ in front of each new commands helps identifying the start of a command. A properly formatted command would look like this:

 I have a NotSerializableException. # Flink uses Java serialization to distribute copies of the application logic (the functions and operations you implement, as well as the program configuration, etc.) to the parallel worker processes.

 make the function a standalone class, or a static inner class. use a Java 8 lambda function. Is your function is already a static class, check the fields that you assign when you create an instance of the class. One of the fields most likely holds a non-serializable type.
 In Java, use a RichFunction and initialize the problematic fields in the open() method. In Scala, you can often simply use “lazy val” to defer initialization until the distributed execution happens. This may come at a minor performance cost. You can naturally also use a RichFunction in Scala. Using the Scala API, I get an error about implicit values and evidence parameters. # This error means that the implicit value for the type information could not be provided. Make sure that you have an import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.scala._ (DataStream API) or an import org.apache.flink.api.scala._ (DataSet API) statement in your code.
 If you are using Flink operations inside functions or classes that take generic parameters, then a TypeInformation must be available for that parameter. This can be achieved by using a context bound:
-def myFunction[T: TypeInformation](input: DataSet[T]): DataSet[Seq[T]] = { input.reduceGroup( i =\u0026gt; i.toSeq ) } See Type Extraction and Serialization for an in-depth discussion of how Flink handles types.

 I see a ClassCastException: X cannot be cast to X. # When you see an exception in the style com.foo.X cannot be cast to com.foo.X (or cannot be assigned to com.foo.X), it means that multiple versions of the class com.foo.X have been loaded by different class loaders, and types of that class are attempted to be assigned to each other.
 The reason for that can be:
-Class duplication through child-first classloading. That is an intended mechanism to allow users to use different versions of the same dependencies that Flink uses. However, if different copies of these classes move between Flink\u0026rsquo;s core and the user application code, such an exception can occur. To verify that this is the reason, try setting classloader.resolve-order: parent-first in the configuration. If that makes the error disappear, please write to the mailing list to check if that may be a bug.
-Caching of classes from different execution attempts, for example by utilities like Guava’s Interners, or Avro\u0026rsquo;s Schema cache. Try to not use interners, or reduce the scope of the interner/cache to make sure a new cache is created whenever a new task execution is started.

 I have an AbstractMethodError or NoSuchFieldError. # Such errors typically indicate a mix-up in some dependency version. That means a different version of a dependency (a library) is loaded during the execution compared to the version that code was compiled against.
-From Flink 1.4.0 on, dependencies in your application JAR file may have different versions compared to dependencies used by Flink\u0026rsquo;s core, or other dependencies in the classpath (for example from Hadoop). That requires child-first classloading to be activated, which is the default.

 If you see these problems in Flink 1.4+, one of the following may be true:
-You have a dependency version conflict within your application code. Make sure all your dependency versions are consistent. You are conflicting with a library that Flink cannot support via child-first classloading. Currently these are the Scala standard library classes, as well as Flink\u0026rsquo;s own classes, logging APIs, and any Hadoop core classes. My DataStream application produces no output, even though events are going in. # If your DataStream application uses Event Time, check that your watermarks get updated. If no watermarks are produced, event time windows might never trigger, and the application would produce no results.

+You have a dependency version conflict within your application code. Make sure all your dependency versions are consistent. You are conflicting with a library that Flink cannot support via child-first classloading. Currently these are the Scala standard library classes, as well as Flink&rsquo;s own classes, logging APIs, and any Hadoop core classes. My DataStream application produces no output, even though events are going in. # If your DataStream application uses Event Time, check that your watermarks get updated. If no watermarks are produced, event time windows might never trigger, and the application would produce no results.

+I see an exception reporting &ldquo;Insufficient number of network buffers&rdquo;. # If you run Flink with a very high parallelism, you may need to increase the number of network buffers.
 By default, Flink takes 10% of the JVM heap size for network buffers, with a minimum of 64MB and a maximum of 1GB. You can adjust all these values via taskmanager.network.memory.fraction, taskmanager.network.memory.min, and taskmanager.network.memory.max.
 Please refer to the Configuration Reference for details.
-My job fails with various exceptions from the HDFS/Hadoop code. What can I do? # The most common cause for that is that the Hadoop version in Flink\u0026rsquo;s classpath is different than the Hadoop version of the cluster you want to connect to (HDFS / YARN).

 The easiest way to fix that is to pick a Hadoop-free Flink version and simply export the Hadoop path and classpath from the cluster.

+`}),e.add({id:39,href:"/2024/03/18/announcing-the-release-of-apache-flink-1.19/",title:"Announcing the Release of Apache Flink 1.19",section:"Flink Blog",content:`The Apache Flink PMC is pleased to announce the release of Apache Flink 1.19.0. As usual, we are looking at a packed release with a wide variety of improvements and new features. Overall, 162 people contributed to this release completing 33 FLIPs and 600+ issues. Thank you!
+Let&rsquo;s dive into the highlights.
+Flink SQL Improvements # Custom Parallelism for Table/SQL Sources # Now in Flink 1.19, you can set a custom parallelism for performance tuning via the scan.parallelism option. The first available connector is DataGen (Kafka connector is on the way). Here is an example using SQL Client:
+-- set parallelism within the ddl CREATE TABLE Orders ( order_number BIGINT, price DECIMAL(32,2), buyer ROW&lt;first_name STRING, last_name STRING&gt;, order_time TIMESTAMP(3) ) WITH ( &#39;connector&#39; = &#39;datagen&#39;, &#39;scan.parallelism&#39; = &#39;4&#39; ); -- or set parallelism via dynamic table option SELECT * FROM Orders /*+ OPTIONS(&#39;scan.parallelism&#39;=&#39;4&#39;) */; More Information
+Documentation FLIP-367: Support Setting Parallelism for Table/SQL Sources Configurable SQL Gateway Java Options # A new option env.java.opts.sql-gateway for specifying the Java options is introduced in Flink 1.19, so you can fine-tune the memory settings, garbage collection behavior, and other relevant Java parameters for SQL Gateway.
+More Information
+FLINK-33203 Configure Different State TTLs Using SQL Hint # Starting from Flink 1.18, Table API and SQL users can set state time-to-live (TTL) individually for stateful operators via the SQL compiled plan. In Flink 1.19, users have a more flexible way to specify custom TTL values for regular joins and group aggregations directly within their queries by utilizing the STATE_TTL hint. This improvement means that you no longer need to alter your compiled plan to set specific TTLs for these frequently used operators. With the introduction of STATE_TTL hints, you can streamline your workflow and dynamically adjust the TTL based on your operational requirements.
+Here is an example:
+-- set state ttl for join SELECT /*+ STATE_TTL(&#39;Orders&#39;= &#39;1d&#39;, &#39;Customers&#39; = &#39;20d&#39;) */ * FROM Orders LEFT OUTER JOIN Customers ON Orders.o_custkey = Customers.c_custkey; -- set state ttl for aggregation SELECT /*+ STATE_TTL(&#39;o&#39; = &#39;1d&#39;) */ o_orderkey, SUM(o_totalprice) AS revenue FROM Orders AS o GROUP BY o_orderkey; More Information
+Documentation FLIP-373: Support Configuring Different State TTLs using SQL Hint Named Parameters for Functions and Procedures # Named parameters now can be used when calling a function or stored procedure. With named parameters, users do not need to strictly specify the parameter position, just specify the parameter name and its corresponding value. At the same time, if non-essential parameters are not specified, they will default to being filled with null.
+Here&rsquo;s an example of defining a function with one mandatory parameter and two optional parameters using named parameters:
+public static class NamedArgumentsTableFunction extends TableFunction&lt;Object&gt; { @FunctionHint( output = @DataTypeHint(&#34;STRING&#34;), arguments = { @ArgumentHint(name = &#34;in1&#34;, isOptional = false, type = @DataTypeHint(&#34;STRING&#34;)), @ArgumentHint(name = &#34;in2&#34;, isOptional = true, type = @DataTypeHint(&#34;STRING&#34;)), @ArgumentHint(name = &#34;in3&#34;, isOptional = true, type = @DataTypeHint(&#34;STRING&#34;))}) public void eval(String arg1, String arg2, String arg3) { collect(arg1 + &#34;, &#34; + arg2 + &#34;,&#34; + arg3); } } When calling the function in SQL, parameters can be specified by name, for example:
+SELECT * FROM TABLE(myFunction(in1 =&gt; &#39;v1&#39;, in3 =&gt; &#39;v3&#39;, in2 =&gt; &#39;v2&#39;)); Also the optional parameters can be omitted:
+SELECT * FROM TABLE(myFunction(in1 =&gt; &#39;v1&#39;)); More Information
+Documentation FLIP-387: Support named parameters for functions and call procedures Window TVF Aggregation Features # Supports SESSION Window TVF in Streaming Mode
+Now users can use SESSION Window TVF in streaming mode. A simple example is as follows: -- session window with partition keys SELECT * FROM TABLE( SESSION(TABLE Bid PARTITION BY item, DESCRIPTOR(bidtime), INTERVAL &#39;5&#39; MINUTES)); -- apply aggregation on the session windowed table with partition keys SELECT window_start, window_end, item, SUM(price) AS total_price FROM TABLE( SESSION(TABLE Bid PARTITION BY item, DESCRIPTOR(bidtime), INTERVAL &#39;5&#39; MINUTES)) GROUP BY item, window_start, window_end; Supports Changelog Inputs for Window TVF Aggregation
+Window aggregation operators (generated based on Window TVF Function) can now handle changelog streams (e.g., CDC data sources, etc.). Users are recommended to migrate from legacy window aggregation to the new syntax for more complete feature support. More Information
+Documentation New UDF Type: AsyncScalarFunction # The common UDF type ScalarFunction works well for CPU-intensive operations, but less well for IO bound or otherwise long-running computations. In Flink 1.19, we have a new AsyncScalarFunction which is a user-defined asynchronous ScalarFunction allows for issuing concurrent function calls asynchronously.
+More Information
+FLIP-400: AsyncScalarFunction for asynchronous scalar function support Tuning: MiniBatch Optimization for Regular Joins # The record amplification is a pain point when performing cascading joins in Flink, now in Flink 1.19, the new mini-batch optimization can be used for regular join to reduce intermediate result in such cascading join scenarios.
+More Information
+minibatch-regular-joins FLIP-415: Introduce a new join operator to support minibatch Runtime &amp; Coordination Improvements # Dynamic Source Parallelism Inference for Batch Jobs # In Flink 1.19, we have supported dynamic source parallelism inference for batch jobs, which allows source connectors to dynamically infer the parallelism based on the actual amount of data to consume. This feature is a significant improvement over previous versions, which only assigned a fixed default parallelism to source vertices. Source connectors need to implement the inference interface to enable dynamic parallelism inference. Currently, the FileSource connector has already been developed with this functionality in place. Additionally, the configuration execution.batch.adaptive.auto-parallelism.default-source-parallelism will be used as the upper bound of source parallelism inference. And now it will not default to 1. Instead, if it is not set, the upper bound of allowed parallelism set via execution.batch.adaptive.auto-parallelism.max-parallelism will be used. If that configuration is also not set, the default parallelism set via parallelism.default or StreamExecutionEnvironment#setParallelism() will be used instead.
+More Information
+Documentation FLIP-379: Support dynamic source parallelism inference for batch jobs Standard YAML for Flink Configuration # Starting with Flink 1.19, Flink has officially introduced full support for the standard YAML 1.2 syntax. The default configuration file has been changed to config.yaml and placed in the conf/ directory. Users should directly modify this file to configure Flink. If users want to use the legacy configuration file flink-conf.yaml, users just need to copy this file into the conf/ directory. Once the legacy configuration file flink-conf.yaml is detected, Flink will prioritize using it as the configuration file. And in the upcoming Flink 2.0, the flink-conf.yaml configuration file will no longer work.

+flink-configuration-file FLIP-366: Support standard YAML for Flink configuration Profiling JobManager/TaskManager on Flink Web # In Flink 1.19, we support triggering profiling at the JobManager/TaskManager level, allowing users to create a profiling instance with arbitrary intervals and event modes (supported by async-profiler). Users can easily submit profiles and export results in the Flink Web UI.
+For example, users can simply submit a profiling instance with a specified period and mode by &ldquo;Creating a Profiling Instance&rdquo; after identifying a candidate TaskManager/JobManager with a performance bottleneck:
+then easily download the interactive HTML file after the profiling instance is complete:

+More Information
+Documentation FLIP-397: Add config options for administrator JVM options Beta Support for Java 21 # Apache Flink was made ready to compile and run with Java 21. This feature is still in beta mode. Issues should be reported in Flink&rsquo;s bug tracker.
+More Information
+FLINK-33163 Checkpoints Improvements # Using Larger Checkpointing Interval When Source is Processing Backlog # IsProcessingBacklog is introduced to indicate whether a record should be processed with low latency or high throughput. Connector developers can update the Source implementation to utilize the SplitEnumeratorContext#setIsProcessingBacklog method to report whether the records are backlog records. Users can set the execution.checkpointing.interval-during-backlog to use a larger checkpoint interval to enhance the throughput while the job is processing backlog if the source is backlog-aware.
+More Information
+FLINK-32514 FLIP-309: Support using larger checkpointing interval when source is processing backlog CheckpointsCleaner Clean Individual Checkpoint States in Parallel # Now when disposing of no longer needed checkpoints, every state handle/state file will be disposed in parallel by the ioExecutor, vastly improving the disposing speed of a single checkpoint (for large checkpoints the disposal time can be improved from 10 minutes to &lt; 1 minute) . The old behavior can be restored by setting state.checkpoint.cleaner.parallel-mode to false.
+More Information
+FLINK-33090 Trigger Checkpoints through Command Line Client # The command line interface supports triggering a checkpoint manually. Usage:
+./bin/flink checkpoint $JOB_ID [-full] By specifying the &lsquo;-full&rsquo; option, a full checkpoint is triggered. Otherwise an incremental checkpoint is triggered if the job is configured to take incremental ones periodically.
+More Information
+FLINK-6755 Connector API Improvements # New Interfaces to SinkV2 That Are Consistent with Source API # In Flink 1.19, the SinkV2 API made some changes to align with Source API.
+The following interfaces are deprecated: TwoPhaseCommittingSink, StatefulSink, WithPreWriteTopology, WithPreCommitTopology, WithPostCommitTopology.
+The following new interfaces have been introduced: CommitterInitContext, CommittingSinkWriter, WriterInitContext, StatefulSinkWriter.
+The following interface method&rsquo;s parameter has been changed: Sink#createWriter.
+The original interfaces will remain available during the 1.19 release line, but they will be removed in consecutive releases.
+More Information
+FLINK-33973 FLIP-372: Enhance and synchronize Sink API to match the Source API New Committer Metrics to Track the Status of Committables # The TwoPhaseCommittingSink#createCommitter method parameterization has been changed, a new CommitterInitContext parameter has been added. The original method will remain available during the 1.19 release line, but they will be removed in consecutive releases.
+More Information
+FLINK-25857 FLIP-371: Provide initialization context for Committer creation in TwoPhaseCommittingSink Important Deprecations # In preparation for the release of Flink 2.0 later this year, the community has decided to officially deprecate multiple APIs that were approaching end of life for a while.
+Flink&rsquo;s org.apache.flink.api.common.time.Time is now officially deprecated and will be dropped in Flink 2.0 Please migrate it to Java&rsquo;s own Duration class. Methods supporting the Duration class that replace the deprecated Time-based methods were introduced. org.apache.flink.runtime.jobgraph.RestoreMode#LEGACY is deprecated. Please use RestoreMode#CLAIM or RestoreMode#NO_CLAIM mode instead to get a clear state file ownership when restoring. The old method of resolving schema compatibility has been deprecated, please migrate to the new method following Migrating from deprecated TypeSerializerSnapshot#resolveSchemaCompatibility(TypeSerializer newSerializer) before Flink 1.19. Configuring serialization behavior through hard codes is deprecated, e.g., ExecutionConfig#enableForceKryo(). Please use the options pipeline.serialization-config, pipeline.force-avro, pipeline.force-kryo, and pipeline.generic-types. Registration of instance-level serializers is deprecated, using class-level serializers instead. We have deprecated all setXxx and getXxx methods except getString(String key, String defaultValue) and setString(String key, String value), such as: setInteger, setLong, getInteger and getLong etc. Users and developers are recommend to use get and set methods with ConfigOption instead of string as key. The non-ConfigOption objects in the StreamExecutionEnvironment, CheckpointConfig, and ExecutionConfig and their corresponding getter/setter interfaces are now be deprecated. These objects and methods are planned to be removed in Flink 2.0. The deprecated interfaces include the getter and setter methods of RestartStrategy, CheckpointStorage, and StateBackend. org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.RuntimeContext#getExecutionConfig is now officially deprecated and will be dropped in Flink 2.0. Please migrate all related usages to the new getter method:
+Migrate TypeInformation#createSerializer to RuntimeContext#createTypeSerializer
+Migrate RuntimeContext#getExecutionConfig.getGlobalJobParameters to RuntimeContext#getGlobalJobParameters
+Migrate RuntimeContext#getExecutionConfig.isObjectReuseEnabled() to RuntimeContext#isObjectReuseEnabled org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.RichFunction#open(Configuration parameters) method has been deprecated and will be removed in future versions. Users are encouraged to migrate to the new RichFunction#open(OpenContext openContext). org.apache.flink.configuration.AkkaOptions is deprecated and replaced with RpcOptions.

 Flink Version Support Policy Change # Previously the operator only added more and more supported Flink versions without a policy to remove support for these in the future. This resulted in a lot of legacy codepaths already in the core logic.
 To keep technical debt at reasonable levels, the community decided to adopt a new Flink version support policy for the operator.

 Improved source metric tracking # Flink currently reports incorrectly low business metrics for sources that spend too much time fetching / polling input (for example IO bound sources). This lead to the autoscaler not scaling sources that were actually running beyond their capacity.
-To tackle this problem, we introduced a new mechanism in the autoscaler to automatically detect cases when the sources are running at full capacity (and backlog is building up). In these situations we switch to a new way to compute the maximum capacity (true processing rate) of the affected source vertices that is much more accurate in these cases. We refer to this mechanism currently as \u0026ldquo;observed true processing rate\u0026rdquo;, this feature is enabled by default and should not need any custom configuration.

 Operator Rate Limiter # A small but operationally important change is that the operator now enables rate limiting for resource events by default. This helps work around some corner cases where the operator was previously overloading the API server on error loops.

 Towards a Streaming Lakehouse # Flink SQL Improvements # Introduce Flink JDBC Driver For SQL Gateway # Flink 1.18 comes with a JDBC Driver for the Flink SQL Gateway. So, you can now use any SQL Client that supports JDBC to interact with your tables via Flink SQL. Here is an example using SQLLine.

 Runtime Filter for Flink SQL # Runtime filter is a common method for optimizing Join performance. It is designed to dynamically generate filter conditions for certain Join queries at runtime to reduce the amount of scanned or shuffled data, avoid unnecessary I/O and network transmission, and speed up the query. We introduced runtime filters in Flink 1.18, and verified its effectiveness through the TPC-DS benchmark, and observed up to 3x speedup for some queries by enabling this feature.
 Operator Fusion Codegen for Flink SQL # Operator Fusion Codegen improves the execution performance of a query by fusing an operator DAG into a single optimized operator that eliminates virtual function calls, leverages CPU registers for intermediate data and reduces the instruction cache miss. As a general technical optimization, we verified its effectiveness through TPC-DS, and only some batch operators (Calc, HashAgg, and HashJoin) completed fusion codegen support in version 1.18, getting significant performance gains on some query.
 Note that both features are disabled by default in Flink 1.18 and the Community is looking for feedback by users before enabling them by default. They can be enabled by using table.optimizer.runtime-filter.enabled and table.exec.operator-fusion-codegen.enabled respectively.

 FLIP-189: SQL Client Usability Improvements Apache Pekko instead of Akka # A year ago, Lightbend announced changing the license of future versions of Akka (2.7+) from Apache 2.0 to BSL. It was also announced that Akka 2.6, the version that Apache Flink uses, would receive security updates and critical bug fixes until September of 2023. As September 2023 was approaching, we decided to switch from Akka to Apache Pekko (incubating). Apache Pekko (incubating) is a fork of Akka 2.6.x, prior to the Akka project’s adoption of the Business Source License. Pekko recently released Apache Pekko 1.0.1-incubating, which enabled us to already use it in Flink 1.18 - just in time. While our mid-term plan is to drop the dependency on Akka or Pekko altogether (see FLINK-29281), the switch to Pekko presents a good short-term solution and ensures that the Apache Pekko and Apache Flink Community can address critical bug fixes and security vulnerabilities throughout our software supply chain.

-FLINK-32468 Calcite Upgrade(s) # In Apache Flink 1.18, Apache Calcite was gradually upgraded from 1.29 to 1.32. The immediate benefit of these upgrades are bug fixes, a smarter optimizer and performance improvements. On a parser level, it now allows joins to be grouped into trees using parentheses (mentioned in SQL-92) e.g. SELECT * FROM a JOIN (b JOIN c ON b.x = c.x) ON a.y = c.y also see CALCITE-35. In addition, the upgrade to Calcite 1.31+ has unblocked the support of Session Windows via Table-Valued Functions (see CALCITE-4865, FLINK-24024) and as a corollary the deprecation of the legacy group window aggregations. Due to CALCITE-4861 Flink\u0026rsquo;s casting behavior has slightly changed. Some corner cases might behave differently now: For example, casting from FLOAT/DOUBLE 9234567891.12 to INT/BIGINT has now Java behavior for overflows.

 Externalized connectors # The community has externalized connectors from Flink’s main repository. This was driven to realise the following benefits:
 Faster releases of connectors: New features can be added more quickly, bugs can be fixed immediately, and we can have faster security patches in case of direct or indirect (through dependencies) security flaws. Adding newer connector features to older Flink versions: By having stable connector APIs, the same connector artifact may be used with different Flink versions. Thus, new features can also immediately be used with older Flink versions. More activity and contributions around connectors: By easing the contribution and development process around connectors, we will see faster development and also more connectors. Documentation: Standardized documentation and user experience for the connectors, regardless of where they are maintained. A faster Flink CI: By not needing to build and test connectors, the Flink CI pipeline will be faster and Flink developers will experience fewer build instabilities (which mostly come from connectors). That should speed up Flink development. The following connectors have been moved to individual repositories:
-Kafka / Upsert-Kafka Cassandra Elasticsearch MongoDB OpenSearch RabbitMQ Google Cloud PubSub Pulsar JDBC HBase Hive AWS connectors: Firehose Kinesis DynamoDB Versioning # Connectors continue to use the same Maven dependency groupId and artifactId.

Use the Flink Downloads page to verify which version your connector is compatible with.

 Autoscaler improvements # Algorithm improvements and better scale down behaviour # The release contains important improvements to the core autoscaling logic. This includes improved stability of scaling decisions (leading to less parallelism oscillations) and better handling of slow or idle streams.
 There are also some fixes related to output ratio computation and propagation that greatly improves the autoscaler on more complex streaming pipelines.
 This version also introduces new metrics for tracking the number of scaling decisions and scaling errors together with some more Kubernetes events to improve the observability of the system.
 Improved default configuration # We have simplified and improved some default autoscaler configs for a better out-of-the-box user experience.
 Some notable changes:
-kubernetes.operator.job.autoscaler.metrics.window: 5m -\u0026gt; 10m kubernetes.operator.job.autoscaler.target.utilization.boundary: 0.1 -\u0026gt; 0.4 kubernetes.operator.job.autoscaler.scale-up.grace-period: 10m -\u0026gt; 1h kubernetes.operator.job.autoscaler.history.max.count: 1 -\u0026gt; 3 kubernetes.operator.job.autoscaler.scaling.effectiveness.detection.enabled: true -\u0026gt; false kubernetes.operator.job.autoscaler.catch-up.duration: 10m -\u0026gt; 5m kubernetes.operator.job.autoscaler.restart.time: 5m -\u0026gt; 3m CRD Changes # Ephemeral storage support # Stateful streaming jobs often rely on ephemeral storage to store the working state of the pipeline. Previously it was only possible to change the ephemeral storage size through the pod template mechanism. The 1.5.0 release adds a new field to the task and jobmanager specification that allows configuring this similarly to other resources:
-spec: ... taskManager: resource: memory: \u0026#34;2048m\u0026#34; cpu: 8 ephemeralStorage: \u0026#34;10G\u0026#34; Make sure you upgrade the CRD together with the operator deployment to be able to access this feature. For more details check the docs

 General operations # Fabric8 and JOSDK version bump # The operator have been updated to use the latest Java Operator SDK and Fabric8 versions that contain important fixes for production environments.
 Health probe and canary resources # Previous operator versions already contained a rudimentary health probe to catch simple startup errors but did not have a good mechanism to catch errors that developed during the lifetime of the running operator.
 The 1.5.0 version adds two significant improvements here:
 Improved health probe to detect informer errors after startup Introduce canary resources for detecting general operator problems The new canary resource feature allows users to deploy special dummy resources (canaries) into selected namespaces. The operator health probe will then monitor that these resources are reconciled in a timely manner. This allows the operator health probe to catch any slowdowns, and other general reconciliation issues not covered otherwise.

 Unit testing the source # Testing the serializers # Example Cassandra SplitSerializer and SplitEnumeratorStateSerializer
 In the previous article, we created serializers for Split and SplitEnumeratorState. We should now test them in unit tests. To test serde we create an object, serialize it using the serializer and then deserialize it using the same serializer and finally assert on the equality of the two objects. Thus, hascode() and equals() need to be implemented for the serialized objects.
 Other unit tests # Of course, we also need to unit test low level processing such as query building for example or any processing that does not require a running backend.
 Integration testing the source # For tests that require a running backend, Flink provides a JUnit5 source test framework. It is composed of different parts gathered in a test suite:
-The Flink environment The backend environment The checkpointing semantics The test context Example Cassandra SourceITCase For the test to be integrated to Flink CI, the test class must be called *ITCAse. But it can be called differently if the test belongs to somewhere else. The class extends SourceTestSuiteBase . This test suite provides all the necessary tests already (single split, multiple splits, idle reader, etc\u0026hellip;). It is targeted for batch and streaming sources, so for our batch source case here, the tests below need to be disabled as they are targeted for streaming sources. They can be disabled by overriding them in the ITCase and annotating them with @Disabled:

 testSourceMetrics testSavepoint testScaleUp testScaleDown testTaskManagerFailure Of course we can add our own integration tests cases for example tests on limits, tests on low level splitting or any test that requires a running backend. But for most cases we only need to provide Flink test environment classes to configure the ITCase:
-Flink environment # We add this annotated field to our ITCase and we\u0026rsquo;re done
+Flink environment # We add this annotated field to our ITCase and we&rsquo;re done

-To test the connector we need a backend to run the connector against. This TestEnvironment provides everything related to the backend: the container, its configuration, the session to connect to it, and all the elements bound to the whole test case (table space, initialization requests \u0026hellip;)

This environment is scoped to the test suite, so it is where we setup the backend and shared resources (session, tablespace, etc\u0026hellip;) by implementing startup() and tearDown() methods. For that we advise the use of testContainers that relies on docker images to provide a real backend instance (not a mock) that is representative for integration tests. Several backends are supported out of the box by testContainers. We need to configure test containers that way:
-Redirect container output (error and standard output) to Flink logs Set the different timeouts to cope with CI server load Set retrial mechanisms for connection, initialization requests etc\u0026hellip; for the same reason Checkpointing semantics # In big data execution engines, there are 2 levels of guarantee regarding source and sinks:

 At least once: upon failure and recovery, some records may be reflected multiple times but none will be lost Exactly once: upon failure and recovery, every record will be reflected exactly once By the following code we verify that the source supports exactly once semantics:
 @TestSemantics CheckpointingMode[] semantics = new CheckpointingMode[] {CheckpointingMode.EXACTLY_ONCE}; That being said, we could encounter a problem while running the tests : the default assertions in the Flink source test framework assume that the data is read in the same order it was written. This is untrue for most big data backends where ordering is usually not deterministic. To support unordered checks and still use all the framework provided tests, we need to override SourceTestSuiteBase#checkResultWithSemantic in out ITCase:
-@Override protected void checkResultWithSemantic( CloseableIterator\u0026lt;Pojo\u0026gt; resultIterator, List\u0026lt;List\u0026lt;Pojo\u0026gt;\u0026gt; testData, CheckpointingMode semantic, Integer limit) { if (limit != null) { Runnable runnable = () -\u0026gt; CollectIteratorAssertions.assertUnordered(resultIterator) .withNumRecordsLimit(limit) .matchesRecordsFromSource(testData, semantic); assertThat(runAsync(runnable)).succeedsWithin(DEFAULT_COLLECT_DATA_TIMEOUT); } else { CollectIteratorAssertions.assertUnordered(resultIterator) .matchesRecordsFromSource(testData, semantic); } } This is a copy-paste of the parent method where CollectIteratorAssertions.assertOrdered() is replaced by CollectIteratorAssertions.assertUnordered().
+@Override protected void checkResultWithSemantic( CloseableIterator&lt;Pojo&gt; resultIterator, List&lt;List&lt;Pojo&gt;&gt; testData, CheckpointingMode semantic, Integer limit) { if (limit != null) { Runnable runnable = () -&gt; CollectIteratorAssertions.assertUnordered(resultIterator) .withNumRecordsLimit(limit) .matchesRecordsFromSource(testData, semantic); assertThat(runAsync(runnable)).succeedsWithin(DEFAULT_COLLECT_DATA_TIMEOUT); } else { CollectIteratorAssertions.assertUnordered(resultIterator) .matchesRecordsFromSource(testData, semantic); } } This is a copy-paste of the parent method where CollectIteratorAssertions.assertOrdered() is replaced by CollectIteratorAssertions.assertUnordered().
 Test context # Example Cassandra TestContext
 The test context provides Flink with means to interact with the backend, like inserting test data, creating tables or constructing the source. It is scoped to the test case (and not to the test suite).
 It is linked to the ITCase through a factory of TestContext as shown below.
 @TestContext TestContextFactory contextFactory = new TestContextFactory(testEnvironment); TestContext implements DataStreamSourceExternalContext:
-We don\u0026rsquo;t connect to the backend at each test case, so the shared resources such as session are created by the backend test environment (test suite scoped). They are then passed to the test context by constructor. It is also in the constructor that we initialize test case backend resources such as test case table. close() : drop the created test case resources getProducedType(): specify the test output type of the source such as a test Pojo for example getConnectorJarPaths(): provide a list of attached jars. Most of the time, we can return an empty list as maven already adds the jars to the test classpath createSource(): here we create the source as a user would have done. It will be provided to the test cases by the Flink test framework createSourceSplitDataWriter(): here we create an ExternalSystemSplitDataWriter responsible for writing test data which comes as a list of produced type objects such as defined in getProducedType() generateTestData(): produce the list of test data that will be given to the ExternalSystemSplitDataWriter. We must make sure that equals() returns false when 2 records of this list belong to different splits. The easier for that is to include the split id into the produced type and make sure equals() and hashcode() are properly implemented to include this field. Contributing the source to Flink # Lately, the Flink community has externalized all the connectors to external repositories that are sub-repositories of the official Apache Flink repository. This is mainly to decouple the release of Flink to the release of the connectors. To distribute the created source, we need to follow this official wiki page .

 What is TPCDS? # TPC-DS is a decision support benchmark that models several generally applicable aspects of a decision support system. The purpose of TPCDS benchmarks is to provide relevant, objective performance data of Big Data engines to industry users.
 Chosen TPCDS query # The chosen query for this article is Query3 because it contains all the more common analytics operators (filter, join, aggregation, group by, order by, limit). It represents an analytic query on store sales. Its SQL code is presented here:
 SELECT dt.d_year, item.i_brand_id brand_id, item.i_brand brand,SUM(ss_ext_sales_price) sum_agg FROM date_dim dt, store_sales, item WHERE dt.d_date_sk = store_sales.ss_sold_date_sk AND store_sales.ss_item_sk = item.i_item_sk AND item.i_manufact_id = 128 AND dt.d_moy=11 GROUP BY dt.d_year, item.i_brand, item.i_brand_id ORDER BY dt.d_year, sum_agg desc, brand_id LIMIT 100

 Here we keep the default streaming mode that gives good performance on this pipeline and that would allow to run the same pipeline with no change on an unbounded source.
 Using the streaming sources and datasets # Sources: DataSource becomes DataStreamSource after the call to env.createInput().
 Datasets: DataSet are now DataStream and subclasses.
-Migrating the join operation # The DataStream join operator does not yet support aggregations in batch mode ( see FLINK-22587 for details). Basically, the problem is with the trigger of the default GlobalWindow which never fires so the records are never output. We will workaround this problem by applying a custom EndOfStream window. It is a window assigner that assigns all the records to a single TimeWindow . So, like for the GlobalWindow, all the records are assigned to the same window except that this window\u0026rsquo;s trigger is based on the end of the window (which is set to Long.MAX_VALUE). As we are on a bounded source, at some point the watermark will advance to +INFINITY (Long.MAX_VALUE) and will thus cross the end of the time window and consequently fire the trigger and output the records.

 Now that we have a working triggering, we need to call a standard join with the Row::join function.
 Migrating the group by and reduce (sum) operations # DataStream API has no more groupBy() method, we now use the keyBy() method. An aggregation downstream will be applied on elements with the same key exactly as a GroupReduceFunction would have done on a DataSet except it will not need to materialize the collection of data. Indeed, the following operator is a reducer: the summing operation downstream is still done through a ReduceFunction but this time the operator reduces the elements incrementally instead of receiving the rows as a Collection. To make the sum we store in the reduced row the partially aggregated sum. Due to incremental reduce, we also need to distinguish if we received an already reduced row (in that case, we read the partially aggregated sum) or a fresh row (in that case we just read the corresponding price field). Also, please note that, as in the join case, we need to specify windowing for the aggregation.
 Migrating the order by operation # The sort of the datastream is done by applying a KeyedProcessFunction .
-But, as said above, the DataStream semantics are the ones of a streaming pipeline. The arriving data is thus considered infinite. As such we need to \u0026ldquo;divide\u0026rdquo; the data to have output times. For that we need to set a timer to output the resulting data. We set a timer to fire at the end of the EndOfStream window meaning that the timer will fire at the end of the batch.

We set a timer to fire at the end of the EndOfStream window meaning that the timer will fire at the end of the batch.
 To sort the data, we store the incoming rows inside a ListState and sort them at output time, when the timer fires in the onTimer() callback.
 Another thing: to be able to use Flink state, we need to key the datastream beforehand, even if there is no group by key because Flink state is designed per-key. Thus, we key by a fake static key so that there is a single state.
-Migrating the limit operation # As all the elements of the DataStream were keyed by the same \u0026ldquo;0\u0026rdquo; key, they are kept in the same \u0026quot; group\u0026quot;. So we can implement the SQL LIMIT with a ProcessFunction with a counter that will output only the first 100 elements.
-Migrating the sink operation # As with sources, there were big changes in sinks with recent versions of Flink. We now use the Sink interface that requires an Encoder . But the resulting code is very similar to the one using the DataSet API. It\u0026rsquo;s only that Encoder#encode() method writes bytes when TextOutputFormat.TextFormatter#format() wrote Strings.

 Conclusion # As you saw for the migration of the join operation, the new unified DataStream API has some limitations left in batch mode. In addition, the order by and limit resulting code is quite manual and requires the help of the Flink state API for the migration. For all these reasons, the Flink community recommends to use Flink SQL for batch pipelines. It results in much simpler code, good performance and out-of-the-box analytics capabilities. You could find the equivalent Query3 code that uses the Flink SQL/Table API in the Query3ViaFlinkSQLCSV class .

 SourceReader # Example Cassandra SourceReader
 As shown in the graphic above, the instances of the SourceReader (which we will call simply readers in the continuation of this article) run in parallel in task managers to read the actual data which is divided into Splits. Readers request splits from the SplitEnumerator and the resulting splits are assigned to them in return.
 Flink provides the SourceReaderBase implementation that takes care of all the threading. Flink also provides a useful extension to this class for most cases: SingleThreadMultiplexSourceReaderBase . This class has the threading model already configured: each SplitReader instance reads splits using one thread (but there are several SplitReader instances that live among task managers).
 What we have left to do in the SourceReader class is:
-Provide a SplitReader supplier Create a RecordEmitter Create the shared resources for the SplitReaders (sessions, etc\u0026hellip;). As the SplitReader supplier is created in the SourceReader constructor in a super() call, using a SourceReader factory to create the shared resources and pass them to the supplier is a good idea. Implement start(): here we should ask the enumerator for our first split Override close() in SourceReaderBase parent class to free up any created resources (the shared resources for example) Implement initializedState() to create a mutable SplitState from a Split Implement toSplitType() to create a Split from the mutable SplitState Implement onSplitFinished(): here, as it is a batch source (finite data), we should ask the Enumerator for next split Split and SplitState # Example Cassandra Split

 The SourceSplit represents a partition of the source data. What defines a split depends on the backend we are reading from. It could be a (partition start, partition end) tuple or an (offset, split size) tuple for example.
-In any case, the Split object should be seen as an immutable object: any update to it should be done on the associated SplitState. The split state is the one that will be stored inside the Flink checkpoints . A checkpoint may happen between 2 fetches for 1 split. So, if we\u0026rsquo;re reading a split, we must store in the split state the current state of the reading process. This current state needs to be something serializable (because it will be part of a checkpoint) and something that the backend source can resume from. That way, in case of failover, the reading could be resumed from where it was left off. Thus we ensure there will be no duplicates or lost data.

That way, in case of failover, the reading could be resumed from where it was left off. Thus we ensure there will be no duplicates or lost data.
 For example, if the records reading order is deterministic in the backend, then the split state can store the number n of already read records to restart at n+1 after failover.
 SplitEnumerator and SplitEnumeratorState # Example Cassandra SplitEnumerator and SplitEnumeratorState
 The SplitEnumerator is responsible for creating the splits and serving them to the readers. Whenever possible, it is preferable to generate the splits lazily, meaning that each time a reader asks the enumerator for a split, the enumerator generates one on demand and assigns it to the reader. For that we implement SplitEnumerator#handleSplitRequest() . Lazy splits generation is preferable to splits discovery, in which we pre-generate all the splits and store them waiting to assign them to the readers. Indeed, in some situations, the number of splits can be enormous and consume a lot a memory which could be problematic in case of straggling readers. The framework offers the ability to act upon reader registration by implementing addReader() but, as we do lazy splits generation, we have nothing to do there. In some cases, generating a split is too costly, so we can pre-generate a batch (not all) of splits to amortize this cost. The number/size of batched splits need to be taken into account to avoid consuming too much memory.
-Long story short, the tricky part of the source implementation is splitting the source data. The good equilibrium to find is not to have too many splits (which could lead to too much memory consumption) nor too few (which could lead to sub-optimal parallelism). One good way to meet this equilibrium is to evaluate the size of the source data upfront and allow the user to specify the maximum memory a split will take. That way they can configure this parameter accordingly to the memory available on the task managers. This parameter is optional so the source needs to provide a default value. Also, the source needs to control that the user provided max-split-size is not too little which would lead to too many splits. The general rule of thumb is to let the user some freedom but protect him from unwanted behavior. For these safety measures, rigid thresholds don\u0026rsquo;t work well as the source may start to fail when the thresholds are suddenly exceeded.

The general rule of thumb is to let the user some freedom but protect him from unwanted behavior. For these safety measures, rigid thresholds don&rsquo;t work well as the source may start to fail when the thresholds are suddenly exceeded.
 For example if we enforce that the number of splits is below twice the parallelism, if the job is regularly run on a growing table, at some point there will be more and more splits of max-split-size and the threshold will be exceeded. Of course, the size of the source data needs to be evaluated without reading the actual data. For the Cassandra connector it was done like this.
-Another important topic is state. If the job manager fails, the split enumerator needs to recover. For that, as for the split, we need to provide a state for the enumerator that will be part of a checkpoint. Upon recovery, the enumerator is reconstructed and receives an enumerator state for recovering its previous state. Upon checkpointing, the enumerator returns its state when SplitEnumerator#snapshotState() is called. The state must contain everything needed to resume where the enumerator was left off after failover. In lazy split generation scenario, the state will contain everything needed to generate the next split whenever asked to. It can be for example the start offset of next split, split size, number of splits still to generate etc\u0026hellip; But the SplitEnumeratorState must also contain a list of splits, not the list of discovered splits, but a list of splits to reassign. Indeed, whenever a reader fails, if it was assigned splits after last checkpoint, then the checkpoint will not contain those splits. Consequently, upon restoration, the reader won\u0026rsquo;t have the splits assigned anymore. There is a callback to deal with that case: addSplitsBack() . There, the splits that were assigned to the failing reader, can be put back into the enumerator state for later re-assignment to readers. There is no memory size risk here as the number of splits to reassign is pretty low.
-The above topics are the more important regarding splitting. There are 2 methods left to implement: the usual start() /close() methods for resources creation/disposal. Regarding implementing start(), the Flink connector framework provides enumeratorContext#callAsync() utility to run long processing asynchronously such as splits preparation or splits discovery (if lazy splits generation is impossible). Indeed, the start() method runs in the source coordinator thread, we don\u0026rsquo;t want to block it for a long time.

 SplitReader # Example Cassandra SplitReader
 This class is responsible for reading the actual splits that it receives when the framework calls handleSplitsChanges() . The main part of the split reader is the fetch() implementation where we read all the splits received and return the read records as a RecordsBySplits object. This object contains a map of the split ids to the belonging records and also the ids of the finished splits. Important points need to be considered:
 The fetch call must be non-blocking. If any call in its code is synchronous and potentially long, an escape from the fetch() must be provided. When the framework calls wakeUp() we should interrupt the fetch for example by setting an AtomicBoolean. Fetch call needs to be re-entrant: an already read split must not be re-read. We should remove it from the list of splits to read and add its id to the finished splits (along with empty splits) in the RecordsBySplits that we return. It is totally fine for the implementer to exit the fetch() method early. Also a failure could interrupt the fetch. In both cases the framework will call fetch() again later on. In that case, the fetch method must resume the reading from where it was left off using the split state already discussed. If resuming the read of a split is impossible because of backend constraints, then the only solution is to read splits atomically (either not read the split at all, or read it entirely). That way, in case of interrupted fetch, nothing will be output and the split could be read again from the beginning at next fetch call leading to no duplicates. But if the split is read entirely, there are points to consider:
@@ -680,12 +735,12 @@
 The SplitReader reads records in the form of an intermediary record format that the implementer provides for each record. It can be the raw format returned by the backend or any format allowing to extract the actual record afterwards. This format is not the final output format expected by the source. It contains anything needed to do the conversion to the record output format. We need to implement RecordEmitter#emitRecord() to do this conversion. A good pattern here is to initialize the RecordEmitter with a mapping Function. The implementation must be idempotent. Indeed the method maybe interrupted in the middle. In that case, the same set of records will be passed to the record emitter again later.
 Serializers # Example Cassandra SplitSerializer and SplitEnumeratorStateSerializer
 We need to provide singleton serializers for:
-Split: splits are serialized when sending them from enumerator to reader, and when checkpointing the reader\u0026rsquo;s current state SplitEnumeratorState: the serializer is used for the result of the SplitEnumerator#snapshotState() For both, we need to implement SimpleVersionedSerializer . Care needs to be taken at some important points:
-Using Java serialization is forbidden in Flink mainly for migration concerns. We should rather manually write the fields of the objects using ObjectOutputStream. When a class is not supported by the ObjectOutputStream (not String, Integer, Long\u0026hellip;), we should write the size of the object in bytes as an Integer and then write the object converted to byte[]. Similar method is used to serialize collections. First write the number of elements of the collection, then serialize all the contained objects. Of course, for deserialization we do the exact same reading with the same order. There can be a lot of splits, so we should cache the OutputStream used in SplitSerializer. We can do so by using. ThreadLocal\u0026lt;DataOutputSerializer\u0026gt; SERIALIZER_CACHE = ThreadLocal.withInitial(() -\u0026gt; new DataOutputSerializer(64));

Flink ML now covers 28 out of the 33 feature engineering algorithms provided in Spark ML, making it a more comprehensive library for feature engineering tasks.
 Feature engineering is a critical step in modern AI infrastructures as it can preprocess data not only for traditional machine learning algorithms like GBT but also for deep learning algorithms and large language models like Transformer, which are increasingly popular. With the addition of these algorithms, we hope Flink ML can be more useful in machine-learning tasks for Flink users.
 All feature engineering algorithms can be easily accessed through the drop-down list on the left side of this Flink ML page. For each algorithm, we have provided Python and Java examples to demonstrate how to use them.

 This job involves dynamically clustering similar logs and detecting errors in the logs to help site reliability engineers. By using OnlineStandardScaler and AgglomerativeClustering to standardize and cluster logs in real-time, the job is able to update models more frequently with a much simpler infrastructure setup. We presented this work at Flink Forward Asia last year, and it will soon be integrated into the open-source project SREWorks.

 Towards Streaming Warehouses # In order to achieve greater efficiency in the realm of streaming warehouse, Flink 1.17 contains substantial improvements to both the performance of batch processing and the semantics of streaming processing. These improvements represent a significant stride towards the creation of a more efficient and streamlined data warehouse, capable of processing large quantities of data in real-time.
 For batch processing, this release includes several new features and improvements:
-Streaming Warehouse API: FLIP-282 introduces the new Delete and Update API in Flink SQL which only works in batch mode. External storage systems like Flink Table Store can implement row-level modification via this new API. The ALTER TABLE syntax is enhanced by including the ability to ADD/MODIFY/DROP columns, primary keys, and watermarks, making it easier for users to maintain their table schema. Batch Execution Improvements: Execution of batch workloads has been significantly improved in Flink 1.17 in terms of performance, stability and usability. Performance wise, a 26% TPC-DS improvement on 10T dataset is achieved with strategy and operator optimizations, such as new join reordering and adaptive local hash aggregation, Hive aggregate functions improvements, and the Hybrid Shuffle Mode enhancements. Stability wise, Speculative Execution now supports all operators, and the Adaptive Batch Scheduler is more robust against data skew. Usability wise, the tuning effort required for batch workloads has been reduced. The is now the default scheduler in batch mode. The Hybrid Shuffle Mode is compatible with Speculative Execution and the Adaptive Batch Scheduler, next to various configuration simplifications. SQL Client/Gateway: Apache Flink 1.17 introduces the \u0026ldquo;gateway mode\u0026rdquo; for SQL Client, allowing users to submit SQL queries to a SQL Gateway for enhanced functionality. Users can use SQL statements to manage job lifecycles, including displaying job information and stopping running jobs. This provides a powerful tool for managing Flink jobs. For stream processing, the following features and improvements are realized:
-Streaming SQL Semantics: Non-deterministic operations may bring incorrect results or exceptions which is a challenging topic in streaming SQL. Incorrect optimization plans and functional issues have been fixed, and the experimental feature of PLAN_ADVICE is introduced to inform of potential correctness risks and optimization suggestions to SQL users. Checkpoint Improvements: The generic incremental checkpoint improvements enhance the speed and stability of the checkpoint procedure, and the unaligned checkpoint has improved stability under backpressure and is production-ready in Flink 1.17. Users can manually trigger checkpoints with self-defined checkpoint types while a job is running with the newly introduced REST interface for triggering checkpoints. Watermark Alignment Enhancement: Efficient watermark processing directly affects the execution efficiency of event time applications. In Flink 1.17, FLIP-217 introduces an improvement to watermark alignment by aligning data emission across splits within a source operator. This improvement results in more efficient coordination of watermark progress in the source, which in turn mitigates excessive buffering by downstream operators and enhances the overall efficiency of steaming job execution. StateBackend Upgrade: The updated version of FRocksDB to 6.20.3-ververica-2.0 brings improvements to RocksDBStateBackend like sharing memory between slots, and now supports Apple Silicon chipsets like the Mac M1. Batch processing # As a unified stream and batch data processing engine, Flink stands out particularly in the field of stream processing. In order to improve its batch processing capabilities, the community contributors put in a lot of effort into improving Flink\u0026rsquo;s batch performance and ecosystem in version 1.17. This makes it easier for users to build a streaming warehouse based on Flink.

 Speculative Execution # Speculative Execution for sinks is now supported. Previously, Speculative Execution was not enabled for sinks to avoid instability or incorrect results. In Flink 1.17, the context of sinks is improved so that sinks, including new sinks and OutputFormat sinks, are aware of the number of attempts. With the number of attempts, sinks are able to isolate the produced data of different attempts of the same subtask, even if the attempts are running at the same time. The FinalizeOnMaster interface is also improved so that OutputFormat sinks can see which attempts are finished and then properly commit the written data. Once a sink can work well with concurrent attempts, it can implement the decorative interface SupportsConcurrentExecutionAttempts so that Speculative Execution is allowed to be performed on it. Some built in sinks are enabled to do Speculative Execution, including DiscardingSink, PrintSinkFunction, PrintSink, FileSink, FileSystemOutputFormat and HiveTableSink.
 The slow task detection is improved for Speculative Execution. Previously, it only considered the execution time of tasks when deciding which tasks are slow. It now takes the input data volume of tasks into account. Tasks which have a longer execution time but consume more data may not be considered as slow. This improvement helps to eliminate the negative impacts from data skew on slow task detection.
 Adaptive Batch Scheduler # Adaptive Batch Scheduler is now used for batch jobs by default. This scheduler can automatically decide a proper parallelism of each job vertex, based on how much data the vertex processes. It is also the only scheduler which supports speculative execution.

 Hybrid Shuffle Mode # Various important improvements to the Hybrid Shuffle Mode are available in this release.
 Hybrid Shuffle Mode now supports Adaptive Batch Scheduler and Speculative Execution. Hybrid Shuffle Mode now supports reusing intermediate data when possible, which brings significant performance improvements. The stability is improved to avoid stability issues in large scale production. More details can be found at the Hybrid-Shuffle section of the documentation.
 TPC-DS Benchmark # Starting with Flink 1.16, the performance of the Batch engine has continuously been optimized. In Flink 1.16, dynamic partition pruning was introduced, but not all TPC-DS queries could be optimized. In Flink 1.17, the algorithm has been improved, and most of the TPC-DS results are now optimized. In Flink 1.17, a dynamic programming join-reorder algorithm is introduced, which has a better working, larger search space compared to the previous algorithm.. The planner can automatically select the appropriate join-reorder algorithm based on the number of joins in a query, so that users no longer need to care about the join-reorder algorithms. (Note: the join-reorder is disabled by default, and you need to enable it when running TPC-DS.) In the operator layer, dynamic hash local aggregation strategy is introduced, which can dynamically determine according to the data distribution whether the local hash aggregation operation is needed to improve performance. In the runtime layer, some unnecessary virtual function calls are removed to speed up the execution. To summarize, Flink 1.17 has a 26% performance improvement compared to Flink 1.16 on a 10T dataset for partitioned tables.
-SQL Client / Gateway # Apache Flink 1.17 introduces a new feature called \u0026ldquo;gateway mode\u0026rdquo; for the SQL Client, which enhances its functionality by allowing it to connect to a remote gateway and submit SQL queries like it does in embedded mode. This new mode offers users much more convenience when working with the SQL Gateway.

This new mode offers users much more convenience when working with the SQL Gateway.
 In addition, the SQL Client/SQL Gateway now provides new support for managing job lifecycles through SQL statements. Users can use SQL statements to display all job information stored in the JobManager and stop running jobs using their unique job IDs. With this new feature, SQL Client/Gateway now has almost the same functionality as Flink CLI, making it another powerful tool for managing Flink jobs.
-SQL API # Row-Level SQL Delete \u0026amp; Update are becoming more and more important in modern big data workflows. The use cases include deleting a set of rows for regulatory compliance, updating a set of rows for data correction, etc. Many popular engines such as Trino or Hive have supported them. In Flink 1.17, the new Delete \u0026amp; Update API is introduced in Flink, which works in batch mode and is exposed to connectors. Now external storage systems can implement row-level modification via this new API. Furthermore, the ALTER TABLE syntax is extended to include the ability to ADD/MODIFY/DROP columns, primary keys, and watermarks. These enhanced capabilities provide users with the flexibility to maintain their table schema metadata according to their needs.

 Hive Compatibility # Apache Flink 1.17 brings new improvements to the Hive table sink, making it more efficient than ever before. In previous versions, the Hive table sink only supported automatic file compaction in streaming mode, but not in batch mode. In Flink 1.17, the Hive table sink can now automatically compact newly written files in batch mode as well. This feature can greatly reduce the number of small files. Also, for using Hive built-in functions via HiveModule, Flink introduces several native Hive aggregation functions including SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX to HiveModule. These functions can be executed using the hash-based aggregation operator and then bring significant performance improvements.
 Streaming Processing # In Flink 1.17, difficult Streaming SQL semantics and correctness issues are addressed, checkpoint performance is optimized, watermark alignment is enhanced, Streaming FileSink expands ABFS(Azure Blob Filesystem) support, Calcite and FRocksDB have been upgraded to newer versions. These improvements further enhance the capabilities of Flink in the field of stream processing.
 Streaming SQL Semantics # In terms of correctness and semantic enhancement, Flink 1.17 introduces the experimental feature PLAN_ADVICE that detects potential correctness risks and provides optimization suggestions. For example, if a NDU (Non-deterministic Updates) issue is detected by EXPLAIN PLAN_ADVICE, the optimizer will append the advice at the end of the physical plan, the optimizer will then tag the advice id to the relational node of related operations, and recommend that users update their configurations accordingly. By providing users with this specific advice, the optimizer can help them improve the accuracy and reliability of their query results.
-== Optimized Physical Plan With Advice == ... advice[1]: [WARNING] The column(s): day(generated by non-deterministic function: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ) can not satisfy the determinism requirement for correctly processing update message(\u0026#39;UB\u0026#39;/\u0026#39;UA\u0026#39;/\u0026#39;D\u0026#39; in changelogMode, not \u0026#39;I\u0026#39; only), this usually happens when input node has no upsertKey(upsertKeys=[{}]) or current node outputs non-deterministic update messages. Please consider removing these non-deterministic columns or making them deterministic by using deterministic functions. The PLAN_ADVICE also helps users improve the performance and efficiency of their queries. For example, when a GroupAggregate operation is detected and can be optimized to a more efficient local-global aggregation. By providing users with this specific advice for optimization, the optimizer enables users to easily improve the performance and efficiency of their queries.

 Calcite Upgrade # Flink 1.17 is upgraded to Calcite version 1.29.0 to improve the performance and efficiency of the Flink SQL system. Flink 1.16 uses Calcite 1.26.0 which has severe issues with RexNode simplification caused by the SEARCH operator. This leads to wrong data from query optimization as reported in CALCITE-4325 and CALCITE-4352. By upgrading the version of Calcite, Flink can take advantage of its improved performance and new features in Flink SQL processing. This resolves multiple bugs and leads to faster query processing times.

 Flink Streaming Job Autoscaler # A highly requested feature for Flink applications is the ability to scale the pipeline based on incoming data load and the utilization of the dataflow. While Flink has already provided some of the required building blocks, this feature has not yet been realized in the open source ecosystem.
 With FLIP-271 the community set out to build such an autoscaler component as part of the Kubernetes Operator subproject. The Kubernetes Operator proved to be a great place for the autoscaler module as it already contains all the necessary bits for managing and upgrading production streaming applications.
 Fast-forward to the 1.4.0 release, we now have the first fully functional autoscaler implementation in the operator, ready to be tested and used in production applications. For more, detailed information, please refer to the Autoscaler Documentation.

 Docker Images # library/flink (official images) apache/flink (ASF repository) PyPi # apache-flink==1.16.1 Upgrade Notes # FLINK-28988 - Incorrect result for filter after temporal join The filter will not be pushed down into both inputs of the event time temporal join. This may cause incompatible plan changes compared to Flink 1.16.0, e.g., when the left input is an upsert source (like upsert-kafka connector), the query plan will remove the ChangelogNormalize node in Flink 1.16.1, while it did appear in 1.16.0.
 FLINK-29849 - Event time temporal join on an upsert source may produce incorrect execution plan This resolves the correctness issue when doing an event time temporal join with a versioned table backed by an upsert source. When the right input of the join is an upsert source, it no longer generates a ChangelogNormalize node for it. This is an incompatible plan change compared to 1.16.0

 Introduction # Authentication in distributed systems is not an easy task. Previously all worker nodes (TaskManagers) reading from or writing to an external system needed to authenticate on their own. In such a case several things can go wrong, including but not limited to:
-Too many authentication requests (potentially resulting in rejected requests) Large number of retries on authentication failures Re-occurring propagation/update of temporary credentials in a timely manner Dependency issues when external system libraries are having the same dependency with different versions Each authentication/temporary credentials are different making standardization challenging \u0026hellip; The aim of Delegation Token Framework is to solve the above challenges. The framework is authentication protocol agnostic and pluggable. The primary design concept is that authentication happens only at a single location (JobManager), the obtained temporary credentials propagated automatically to all the task managers where they can be used. The token re-obtain process is also handled in the JobManager.

 New authentication providers can be added with small amount of code which is going to be loaded by Flink automatically. At the moment the following external systems are supported:

 Kafka Hive The design and implementation approach has already been proven in Apache Spark. Gabor is a Spark committer, he championed this feature in the Spark community. The most notable improvement we achieved compared to the current state in Spark is that the framework in Flink is already authentication protocol agnostic (and not bound to Kerberos).

 Summary # The Delegation Token Framework is feature complete on the master branch and is becoming generally available on the release of Flink 1.17. The framework obtains authentication tokens at a central location and propagates them to all workers on a re-occurring basis.
 Any connector to an external system which supports authentication can be a potential user of this framework. To support authentication in your connector we encourage you to implement your own DelegationTokenProvider/DelegationTokenReceiver pair.

Your input can’t produce a complete changelog but you still want to get rid of the costly normalized operator, You may consider using the Full compaction changelog producer.
 By specifying 'changelog-producer' = 'full-compaction', Table Store will compare the results between full compactions and produce the differences as changelog. The latency of changelog is affected by the frequency of full compactions.

As compactions are performed only by the dedicated job, writers can continuously write records without pausing and no conflicts will ever occur.

 To skip compactions in writers, set write-only to true.
 To run a dedicated job for compaction, follow these instructions.
 Flink SQL currently does not support statements related to compactions, so we have to submit the compaction job through flink run.

Depending on the sink’s destination, it helps to tune the write rate using a different RateLimitingStrategy.
 This post explains how you can optimise sink throughput by configuring a custom RateLimitingStrategy on a connector that builds on the AsyncSinkBase (FLIP-171). In the sections below, we cover the design logic behind the AsyncSinkBase and the RateLimitingStrategy, then we take you through two example implementations of rate limiting strategies, specifically the CongestionControlRateLimitingStrategy and TokenBucketRateLimitingStrategy.
 Background of the AsyncSinkBase # When implementing the AsyncSinkBase, our goal was to simplify building new async sinks to custom destinations by providing common async sink functionality used with at least once processing. This has allowed users to more easily write sinks to custom destinations, such as Amazon Kinesis Data Streams and Amazon Kinesis Firehose. An additional async sink to Amazon DynamoDB (FLIP-252) is also being developed at the time of writing.
 The AsyncSinkBase provides the core implementation which handles the mechanics of async requests and responses. This includes retrying failed messages, deciding when to flush records to the destination, and persisting un-flushed records to state during checkpointing. In order to increase throughput, the async sink also dynamically adjusts the request rate depending on the destination’s responses. Read more about this in our previous 1.15 release blog post or watch our FlinkForward talk recording explaining the design of the Async Sink.

 In this RateLimitingStrategy, we want to dynamically adjust the request rate by:
 Setting a maximum number of in-flight requests at any time Setting a maximum number of in-flight messages at any time (each request can comprise multiple messages) Increasing the maximum number of in-flight messages after each successful request, to maximise the request rate Decreasing the maximum number of in-flight messages after an unsuccessful request, to prevent overloading the destination Independently keeping track of the maximum number of in-flight messages if there are multiple sink subtasks This strategy means we will start with a low request rate (slow start), but aggressively increase it until the destination throttles us, which allows us to discover the highest possible request rate. It will also adjust the request rate if the conditions of the destination changes (e.g. another client starts writing to the same destination). This strategy works well if destinations implement traffic shaping and throttles once the bandwidth limit is reached (e.g. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams, Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose).
 First, we implement the information methods to keep track of the number of in-flight requests and in-flight messages.
-public class CongestionControlRateLimitingStrategy implements RateLimitingStrategy { // ... @Override public void registerInFlightRequest(RequestInfo requestInfo) { currentInFlightRequests++; currentInFlightMessages += requestInfo.getBatchSize(); } @Override public void registerCompletedRequest(ResultInfo resultInfo) { currentInFlightRequests = Math.max(0, currentInFlightRequests - 1); currentInFlightMessages = Math.max(0, currentInFlightMessages - resultInfo.getBatchSize()); if (resultInfo.getFailedMessages() \u0026gt; 0) { maxInFlightMessages = scalingStrategy.scaleDown(maxInFlightMessages); } else { maxInFlightMessages = scalingStrategy.scaleUp(maxInFlightMessages); } } // ... } Then we implement the control methods to dynamically adjust the request rate.
+public class CongestionControlRateLimitingStrategy implements RateLimitingStrategy { // ... @Override public void registerInFlightRequest(RequestInfo requestInfo) { currentInFlightRequests++; currentInFlightMessages += requestInfo.getBatchSize(); } @Override public void registerCompletedRequest(ResultInfo resultInfo) { currentInFlightRequests = Math.max(0, currentInFlightRequests - 1); currentInFlightMessages = Math.max(0, currentInFlightMessages - resultInfo.getBatchSize()); if (resultInfo.getFailedMessages() &gt; 0) { maxInFlightMessages = scalingStrategy.scaleDown(maxInFlightMessages); } else { maxInFlightMessages = scalingStrategy.scaleUp(maxInFlightMessages); } } // ... } Then we implement the control methods to dynamically adjust the request rate.
 We keep a current value for maxInFlightMessages and maxInFlightRequests, and postpone all new requests if maxInFlightRequests or maxInFlightMessages have been reached.
 Every time a request completes, the CongestionControlRateLimitingStrategy will check if there are any failed messages in the response. If there are, it will decrease maxInFlightMessages. If there are no failed messages, it will increase maxInFlightMessages. This gives us indirect control of the rate of messages being written to the destination.
 Side note: The default CongestionControlRateLimitingStrategy uses an Additive Increase / Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) scaling strategy. This is also used in TCP congestion control to avoid overloading the destination by increasing write rate slowly but backing off quickly if throttled.
-public class CongestionControlRateLimitingStrategy implements RateLimitingStrategy { // ... @Override public void registerCompletedRequest(ResultInfo resultInfo) { // ... if (resultInfo.getFailedMessages() \u0026gt; 0) { maxInFlightMessages = scalingStrategy.scaleDown(maxInFlightMessages); } else { maxInFlightMessages = scalingStrategy.scaleUp(maxInFlightMessages); } } public boolean shouldBlock(RequestInfo requestInfo) { return currentInFlightRequests \u0026gt;= maxInFlightRequests || (currentInFlightMessages + requestInfo.getBatchSize() \u0026gt; maxInFlightMessages); } // ... } [Example 2] TokenBucketRateLimitingStrategy # The CongestionControlRateLimitingStrategy is rather aggressive, and relies on a robust server-side rate limiting strategy.

In the event we don’t have a robust server-side rate limiting strategy, we can implement a client-side rate limiting strategy.
 As an example, we can look at the token bucket rate limiting strategy. This strategy allows us to set the exact rate of the sink (e.g. requests per second, messages per second). If the limits are set correctly, we will avoid overloading the destination altogether.
 In this strategy, we want to do the following:
 Implement a TokenBucket that has a given initial number of tokens (e.g. 10). These tokens refill at a given rate (e.g. 1 token per second). When preparing an async request, we check if the token bucket has sufficient tokens. If not, we postpone the request. Let’s look at an example implementation:
 public class TokenBucketRateLimitingStrategy implements RateLimitingStrategy { private final Bucket bucket; public TokenBucketRateLimitingStrategy() { Refill refill = Refill.intervally(1, Duration.ofSeconds(1)); Bandwidth limit = Bandwidth.classic(10, refill); this.bucket = Bucket4j.builder() .addLimit(limit) .build(); } // ... (information methods not needed) @Override public boolean shouldBlock(RequestInfo requestInfo) { return bucket.tryConsume(requestInfo.getBatchSize()); } } In the above example, we use the Bucket4j library’s Token Bucket implementation. We also map 1 message to 1 token. Since our token bucket has a size of 10 tokens and a refill rate of 1 token per second, we can be sure that we will not exceed a burst of 10 messages, and will also not exceed a constant rate of 1 message per second.
 This would be useful if we know that our destination will failover ungracefully if a rate of 1 message per second is exceeded, or if we intentionally want to limit our sink’s throughput to provide higher bandwidth for other clients writing to the same destination.
 Specifying a custom RateLimitingStrategy # To specify a custom RateLimitingStrategy, we have to specify it in the AsyncSinkWriterConfiguration which is passed into the constructor of the AsyncSinkWriter. For example:
-class MyCustomSinkWriter\u0026lt;InputT\u0026gt; extends AsyncSinkWriter\u0026lt;InputT, MyCustomRequestEntry\u0026gt; { MyCustomSinkWriter( ElementConverter\u0026lt;InputT, MyCustomRequestEntry\u0026gt; elementConverter, Sink.InitContext context, Collection\u0026lt;BufferedRequestState\u0026lt;MyCustomRequestEntry\u0026gt;\u0026gt; states) { super( elementConverter, context, AsyncSinkWriterConfiguration.builder() // ... .setRateLimitingStrategy(new TokenBucketRateLimitingStrategy()) .build(), states); } } Summary # From Apache Flink 1.16 we can customise the RateLimitingStrategy used to dynamically adjust the behaviour of the Async Sink at runtime.

 Flink has become the leading role and factual standard of stream processing, and the concept of the unification of stream and batch data processing is gradually gaining recognition and is being successfully implemented in more and more companies. Previously, the integrated stream and batch concept placed more emphasis on a unified API and a unified computing framework. This year, based on this, Flink proposed the next development direction of Flink-Streaming Warehouse (Streamhouse), which further upgraded the scope of stream-batch integration: it truly completes not only the unified computation but also unified storage, thus realizing unified real-time analysis.
 In 1.16, the Flink community has completed many improvements for both batch and stream processing:
 For batch processing, all-round improvements in ease of use, stability and performance have been completed. 1.16 is a milestone version of Flink batch processing and an important step towards maturity. Ease of use: with the introduction of SQL Gateway and full compatibility with Hive Server2, users can submit Flink SQL jobs and Hive SQL jobs very easily, and it is also easy to connect to the original Hive ecosystem. Functionality: Join hints let Flink SQL users manually specify join strategies to avoid unreasonable execution plans. The compatibility of Hive SQL has reached 94%, and users can migrate from Hive to Flink at a very low cost. Stability: Propose a speculative execution mechanism to reduce the long tail sub-tasks of a job and improve the stability. Improve HashJoin and introduce failure rollback mechanism to avoid join failure. Performance: Introduce dynamic partition pruning to reduce the Scan I/O and improve join processing for the star-schema queries. There is 30% improvement in the TPC-DS benchmark. We can use hybrid shuffle mode to improve resource usage and processing performance. For stream processing, there are a number of significant improvements: Changelog State Backend provides users with second or even millisecond checkpoints to dramatically improve the fault tolerance experience, while providing a smaller end-to-end latency experience for transactional Sink jobs. Lookup join is widely used in stream processing. Slow lookup speed, low throughput and delay update are resolved through common cache mechanism, asynchronous io and retriable lookup. These features are very useful, solving the pain points that users often complain about, and supporting richer scenarios. From the first day of the birth of Flink SQL, there were some non-deterministic operations that could cause incorrect results or exceptions, which caused great distress to users. In 1.16, we spent a lot of effort to solve most of the problems, and we will continue to improve in the future. With the further refinement of the integration of stream and batch, and the continuous iteration of the Flink Table Store (0.2 has been released), the Flink community is pushing the Streaming warehouse from concept to reality and maturity step by step.

 The HiveServer2 Endpoint allows users to interact with SQL Gateway with Hive JDBC/Beeline and migrate with Flink into the Hive ecosystem (DBeaver, Apache Superset, Apache DolphinScheduler, and Apache Zeppelin). When users connect to the HiveServer2 endpoint, the SQL Gateway registers the Hive Catalog, switches to Hive Dialect, and uses batch execution mode to execute jobs. With these steps, users can have the same experience as HiveServer2.
 Hive syntax is already the factual standard for big data processing. Flink has improved compatibility with Hive syntax and added support for several Hive syntaxes commonly used in production. Hive syntax compatibility can help users migrate existing Hive SQL tasks to Flink, and it is convenient for users who are familiar with Hive syntax to use Hive syntax to write SQL to query tables registered in Flink. The compatibility is measured using the Hive qtest suite which contains more than 12K SQL cases. Until now, for Hive 2.3, the compatibility has reached 94.1% for whole hive queries, and has reached 97.3% if ACID queries are excluded.
 Join Hints for Flink SQL # The join hint is a common solution in the industry to improve the shortcomings of the optimizer by manually modifying the execution plans. Join is the most widely used operator in batch jobs, and Flink supports a variety of join strategies. Missing statistics or a poor cost model of the optimizer can lead to the wrong choice of a join strategy, which will cause slow execution or even job failure. By specifying a Join Hint, the optimizer will choose the join strategy specified by the user whenever possible. It could avoid various shortcomings of the optimizer and ensure the production availability of the batch job.
-Adaptive Hash Join # For batch jobs, the hash join operators may fail if the input data is severely skewed, it\u0026rsquo;s a very bad experience for users. To solve this, we introduce adaptive Hash-Join which can automatically fall back to Sort-Merge-Join once the Hash-Join fails in runtime. This mechanism ensures that the Hash-Join is always successful and improves the stability by gracefully degrading from a Hash-Join to a more robust Sort-Merge-Join.

This mechanism ensures that the Hash-Join is always successful and improves the stability by gracefully degrading from a Hash-Join to a more robust Sort-Merge-Join.
 Speculative Execution for Batch Job # Speculative execution is introduced in Flink 1.16 to mitigate batch job slowness which is caused by problematic nodes. A problematic node may have hardware problems, accident I/O busy, or high CPU load. These problems may make the hosted tasks run much slower than tasks on other nodes, and affect the overall execution time of a batch job.
 When speculative execution is enabled, Flink will keep detecting slow tasks. Once slow tasks are detected, the nodes that the slow tasks locate in will be identified as problematic nodes and get blocked via the blocklist mechanism (FLIP-224). The scheduler will create new attempts for the slow tasks and deploy them to nodes that are not blocked, while the existing attempts will keep running. The new attempts process the same input data and produce the same data as the original attempt. Once any attempt finishes first, it will be admitted as the only finished attempt of the task, and the remaining attempts of the task will be canceled.
 Most existing sources can work with speculative execution (FLIP-245). Only if a source uses SourceEvent, it must implement SupportsHandleExecutionAttemptSourceEvent interface to support speculative execution. Sinks do not support speculative execution yet so that speculative execution will not happen on sinks at the moment.
-The Web UI \u0026amp; REST API are also improved (FLIP-249) to display multiple concurrent attempts of tasks and blocked task managers.
+The Web UI &amp; REST API are also improved (FLIP-249) to display multiple concurrent attempts of tasks and blocked task managers.
 Hybrid Shuffle Mode # We have introduced a new Hybrid Shuffle Mode for batch executions. It combines the advantages of blocking shuffle and pipelined shuffle (in streaming mode).
 Like blocking shuffle, it does not require upstream and downstream tasks to run simultaneously, which allows executing a job with little resources. Like pipelined shuffle, it does not require downstream tasks to be executed after upstream tasks finish, which reduces the overall execution time of the job when given sufficient resources. It adapts to custom preferences between persisting less data and restarting less tasks on failures, by providing different spilling strategies. Note: This feature is experimental and by default not activated.
 Further improvements of blocking shuffle # We further improved the blocking shuffle usability and performance in this version, including adaptive network buffer allocation, sequential IO optimization and result partition reuse which allows multiple consumer vertices reusing the same physical result partition to reduce disk IO and storage space. These optimizations can achieve an overall 7% performance gain for the TPC-DS test with a scale of 10 TB. In addition, two more compression algorithms (LZO and ZSTD) with higher compression ratio were introduced which can further reduce the storage space with some CPU cost compared to the default LZ4 compression algorithm.
 Dynamic Partition Pruning # For batch jobs, partitioned tables are more widely used than non-partitioned tables in production environments. Currently Flink has support for static partition pruning, where the optimizer pushes down the partition field related filter conditions in the WHERE clause into the Source Connector during the optimization phase, thus reducing unnecessary partition scan IO. The star-schema is the simplest of the most commonly used data mart patterns. We have found that many user jobs cannot use static partition pruning because partition pruning information can only be determined in execution, which requires dynamic partition pruning techniques, where partition pruning information is collected at runtime based on data from other related tables, thus reducing unnecessary partition scan IO for partitioned tables. The use of dynamic partition pruning has been validated with the 10 TB dataset TPC-DS to improve performance by up to 30%.
 Stream Processing # In 1.16, we have made improvements in Checkpoints, SQL, Connector and other fields, so that stream computing can continue to lead.
 Generalized incremental checkpoint # Changelog state backend aims at making checkpoint intervals shorter and more predictable, this release is prod-ready and is dedicated to adapting changelog state backend to the existing state backends and improving the usability of changelog state backend:

 Support overdraft buffer # A new concept of overdraft network buffer is introduced to mitigate the effects of uninterruptible blocking a subtask thread during back pressure, which can be turned on through the taskmanager.network.memory.max-overdraft-buffers-per-gate configuration parameter.
-Starting from 1.16.0, Flink subtask can request by default up to 5 extra (overdraft) buffers over the regular configured amount. This change can slightly increase memory consumption of the Flink Job but vastly reduce the checkpoint duration of the unaligned checkpoint. If the subtask is back pressured by downstream subtasks and the subtask requires more than a single network buffer to finish what it\u0026rsquo;s currently doing, overdraft buffer comes into play. Read more about this in the documentation.

 Timeout aligned to unaligned checkpoint barrier in the output buffers of an upstream subtask # This release updates the timing of switching from Aligned Checkpoint (AC) to Unaligned Checkpoint (UC). With UC enabled, if execution.checkpointing.aligned-checkpoint-timeout is configured, each checkpoint will still begin as an AC, but when the global checkpoint duration exceeds the aligned-checkpoint-timeout, if the AC has not been completed, then the checkpoint will be switched to unaligned.
 Previously, the switch of one subtask needs to wait for all barriers from upstream. If the back pressure is severe, the downstream subtask may not receive all barriers within checkpointing-timeout, causing the checkpoint to fail.
 In this release, if the barrier cannot be sent from the output buffer to the downstream task within the execution.checkpointing.aligned-checkpoint-timeout, Flink lets upstream subtasks switch to UC first to send barriers to downstream, thereby decreasing the probability of checkpoint timeout during back pressure. More details can be found in this documentation.
 Non-Determinism In Stream Processing # Users often complain about the high cost of understanding stream processing. One of the pain points is the non-determinisim in stream processing (usually not intuitive) which may cause wrong results or errors. These pain points have been around since the early days of Flink SQL.
-For complex streaming jobs, now it\u0026rsquo;s possible to detect and resolve potential correctness issues before running. If the problems can’t be resolved completely, a detailed message could prompt users to adjust the SQL so as to avoid introducing non-deterministic problems. More details can be found in the documentation.

 Enhanced Lookup Join # Lookup join is widely used in stream processing, and we have introduced several improvements:
-Adds a unified abstraction for lookup source cache and related metrics to speed up lookup queries Introduces the configurable asynchronous mode (ALLOW_UNORDERED) via job configuration or lookup hint to significantly improve query throughput without compromising correctness. Retryable lookup mechanism gives users more tools to solve the delayed updates issue in external systems. Retry Support For Async I/O # Introduces a built-in retry mechanism for asynchronous I/O that is transparent to the user\u0026rsquo;s existing code, allowing flexibility to meet the user\u0026rsquo;s retry and exception handling needs.
-PyFlink # In Flink 1.15, we have introduced a new execution mode \u0026rsquo;thread\u0026rsquo; mode in which the user-defined Python functions will be executed in the JVM via JNI instead of in a separate Python process. However, it\u0026rsquo;s only supported for Python scalar functions in the Table API \u0026amp; SQL in Flink 1.15. In this release, we have provided more comprehensive support for it. It has also been supported in the Python DataStream API and also Python table functions in the Table API \u0026amp; SQL.
-We are also continuing to fill in the last few missing features in Python API. In this release, we have provided more comprehensive support for Python DataStream API and supported features such as side output, broadcast state, etc and have also finalized the windowing support. We have also added support for more connectors and formats in the Python DataStream API, e.g. added support for connectors elasticsearch, kinesis, pulsar, hybrid source, etc and formats orc, parquet, etc. With all these features added, the Python API should have aligned most notable features in the Java \u0026amp; Scala API and users should be able to develop most kinds of Flink jobs using Python language smoothly.

It has also been supported in the Python DataStream API and also Python table functions in the Table API &amp; SQL.
+We are also continuing to fill in the last few missing features in Python API. In this release, we have provided more comprehensive support for Python DataStream API and supported features such as side output, broadcast state, etc and have also finalized the windowing support. We have also added support for more connectors and formats in the Python DataStream API, e.g. added support for connectors elasticsearch, kinesis, pulsar, hybrid source, etc and formats orc, parquet, etc. With all these features added, the Python API should have aligned most notable features in the Java &amp; Scala API and users should be able to develop most kinds of Flink jobs using Python language smoothly.
 Others # New SQL Syntax # In 1.16, we extend more DDL syntaxes which could help users to better use SQL:
 USING JAR supports dynamic loading of UDF jar to help platform developers to easily manage UDF. CREATE TABLE AS SELECT (CTAS) supports users to create new tables based on existing tables and queries. ANALYZE TABLE supports users to manually generate table statistics so that the optimizer could generate better execution plans. Cache in DataStream for Interactive Programming # Supports caching the result of a transformation via DataStream#cache. The cached intermediate result is generated lazily at the first time the intermediate result is computed so that the result can be reused by later jobs. If the cache is lost, it will be recomputed using the original transformations. Currently only batch mode is supported. This feature is very useful for ML and interactive programming in Python.
-History Server \u0026amp; Completed Jobs Information Enhancement # We have enhanced the experiences of viewing completed jobs’ information in this release.
+History Server &amp; Completed Jobs Information Enhancement # We have enhanced the experiences of viewing completed jobs’ information in this release.
 JobManager / HistoryServer WebUI now provides detailed execution time metrics, including duration tasks spent in each execution state and the accumulated busy / idle / back-pressured time during running. JobManager / HistoryServer WebUI now provides aggregation of major SubTask metrics, grouped by Task or TaskManager. JobManager / HistoryServer WebUI now provides more environmental information, including environment variables, JVM options and classpath. HistoryServer now supports browsing logs from external log archiving services. Protobuf format # Flink now supports the Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) format. This allows you to use this format directly in your Table API or SQL applications.
 Introduce configurable RateLimitingStrategy for Async Sink # The Async Sink was implemented in 1.15 to allow users to easily implement their own custom asynchronous sinks. We have now extended it to support a configurable RateLimitingStrategy. This means sink implementers can now customize how their Async Sink behaves when requests fail, depending on the specific sink. If no RateLimitingStrategy is specified, it will default to the current default of AIMDScalingStrategy.
 Upgrade Notes # We aim to make upgrades as smooth as possible, but some of the changes require users to adjust some parts of the program when upgrading to Apache Flink 1.16. Please take a look at the release notes for a list of adjustments to make and issues to check during upgrades.

The 1.2.0 release adds support for the Standalone Kubernetes deployment mode and includes several improvements to the core logic.
 Release Highlights # Standalone deployment mode support Improved upgrade flow Readiness and liveness probes Flexible job jar handling Standalone deployment mode support # Until now the operator relied exclusively on Flink’s built-in Native Kubernetes integration to deploy and manage Flink clusters. When using the Native deployment mode the Flink cluster communicates directly with Kubernetes to allocate/deallocate TaskManager resources on the fly. While this leads to a very simple deployment model, in some environments it also means higher security exposure as the user code running on the Flink cluster may gain the same Kubernetes access privileges.
 Flink Kubernetes Operator 1.2.0 brings Standalone mode support for FlinkDeployment resources.
 When using the standalone mode, the operator itself sets up the Job and TaskManager resources for the Flink cluster. Flink processes then run without any need for Kubernetes access. In fact in this mode the Flink cluster itself is unaware that it is running in a Kubernetes environment. If unknown or external code is being executed on the Flink cluster then Standalone mode adds another layer of security.
 The default deployment mode is Native. Native deployment mode remains the recommended mode for standard operator use and when running your own Flink jobs.
 The deployment mode can be set using the mode field in the deployment spec.

These improvements now avoid unnecessary job downtime in many cases.

The operator now distinguishes configuration &amp; spec changes that do not require the redeployment of the Flink cluster resources (such as setting a new periodic savepoint interval). These improvements now avoid unnecessary job downtime in many cases.
 Leveraging the standalone deployment mode the operator now also supports rescaling jobs directly using Flink’s reactive scheduler. When changing the parallelism of an application FlinkDeployment with mode: standalone set and scheduler-mode: reactive in the flinkConfiguration the operator will simply increase the number of TaskManagers to match the new parallelism and let Flink do the scaling automatically (reactively). Same as with the reactive scaling itself, this is considered to be an experimental feature.
 There are also some important fixes to problems that might occur when switching between Flink versions or using the stateless upgrade mode.
 Readiness and Liveness probes # From an operational perspective it is very important to be able to determine the health of the Kubernetes Operator process. The operator now exposes a health endpoint by default together with a liveness and readiness probe.

 How does Flink use Akka? # Akka is used in the coordination layer of Flink to
 exchange status messages between processes/components (e.g., JobManager and TaskManager), enforce certain guarantees w.r.t. multi-threading (i.e., only one thread can make changes to the internal state of a component) observe components for unexpected crashes (i.e., notice and handle TaskManager thread crashes).

 As a new type of updatable data lake, Flink Table Store has the following features:
 Large throughput data ingestion while offering good query performance. High performance query with primary key filters, as fast as 100ms. Streaming reads are available on Lake Storage, lake storage can also be integrated with Kafka to provide second-level streaming reads.

 Notable Features # API and Infrastructure # Supporting fine-grained per-operator memory management # Before this release, algorithm operators with internal states (e.g. the training data to be replayed for each round of iteration) store state data using the state-backend API (e.g. ListState). Such an operator either needs to store all data in memory, which risks OOM, or it needs to always store data on disk. In the latter case, it needs to read and de-serialize all data from disks repeatedly in each round of iteration even if the data can fit in RAM, leading to sub-optimal performance when the training data size is small. This makes it hard for developers to write performant and memory-safe operators.
 This release enhances the Flink ML infrastructure with the mechanism to specify the amount of managed memory that an operator can consume. This allows algorithm operators to write and read data from managed memory when the data size is below the quota, and automatically spill those data that exceeds the memory quota to disks to avoid OOM. Algorithm developers can use this mechanism to achieve optimal algorithm performance as input data size varies. Please feel free to check out the implementation of the KMeans operator for example.

In recent versions, Flink has unified the DataStream API and the Table / SQL API to support both streaming and batch cases. Since most users require both types of data processing pipelines, the unification helps reduce the complexity of developing, operating, and maintaining consistency between streaming and batch backfilling jobs, like the case for Alibaba.
 Flink provides two execution modes under the unified programming API: the streaming mode and the batch mode. The streaming mode processes records incrementally based on the states, thus it supports both bounded and unbounded sources. The batch mode works with bounded sources and usually has a better performance for bounded jobs because it executes all the tasks in topological order and avoids random state access by pre-sorting the input records. Although batch mode is often the preferred mode to process bounded jobs, streaming mode is also required for various reasons. For example, users may want to deal with records containing retraction or exploit the property that data is roughly sorted by event times in streaming mode (like the case in Kappa+ Architecture). Moreover, users often have mixed jobs involving both unbounded streams and bounded side-inputs, which also require streaming execution mode.
 Figure 1. A comparison of the Streaming mode and Batch mode for the example Count operator. For streaming mode, the arrived elements are not sorted, the operator would read / write the state corresponding to the element for computation. For batch mode, the arrived elements are first sorted as a whole and then processed. In streaming mode, checkpointing is the vital mechanism in supporting exactly-once guarantees. By periodically snapshotting the aligned states of operators, Flink can recover from the latest checkpoint and continue execution when failover happens. However, previously Flink could not take checkpoints if any task gets finished. This would cause problems for jobs with both bounded and unbounded sources: if there are no checkpoints after the bounded part finished, the unbounded part might need to reprocess a large amount of records in case of a failure.
 Furthermore, being unable to take checkpoints with finished tasks is a problem for jobs using two-phase-commit sinks to achieve end-to-end exactly-once processing. The two-phase-commit sinks first write data to temporary files or external transactions, and commit the data only after a checkpoint completes to ensure the data would not be replayed on failure. However, if a job contains bounded sources, committing the results would not be possible after the bounded sources finish. Also because of that, for bounded jobs we have no way to commit the last piece of data after the first source task finished, and previously the bounded jobs just ignore the uncommitted data when finishing. These behaviors caused a lot of confusion and are always asked in the user mailing list.
 Therefore, to complete the support of streaming mode for jobs using bounded sources, it is important for us to
 Support taking checkpoints with finished tasks. Furthermore, revise the process of finishing so that all the data could always be committed. The remaining blog briefly describes the changes we made to achieve the above goals. In the next blog, we’ll share more details on how they are implemented.
 Support Checkpointing with Finished Tasks # The core idea of supporting checkpoints with finished tasks is to mark the finished operators in checkpoints and skip executing these operators after recovery. As illustrated in Figure 2, a checkpoint is composed of the states of all the operators. If all the subtasks of an operator have finished, we could mark it as fully finished and skip the execution of this operator on startup. For other operators, their states are composed of the states of all the running subtasks. The states will be repartitioned on restarting and all the new subtasks restarted with the assigned states.
-Figure 2. An illustration of the extended checkpoint format. To support creating such a checkpoint for jobs with finished tasks, we extended the checkpoint procedure. Previously the checkpoint coordinator inside the JobManager first notifies all the sources to report snapshots, then all the sources further notify their descendants via broadcasting barrier events. Since now the sources might have already finished, the checkpoint coordinator would instead treat the running tasks who also do not have running precedent tasks as \u0026ldquo;new sources\u0026rdquo;, and it notifies these tasks to initiate the checkpoints. Finally, if the subtasks of an operator are either finished on triggering checkpoint or have finished processing all the data on snapshotting states, the operator would be marked as fully finished.
+Figure 2. An illustration of the extended checkpoint format. To support creating such a checkpoint for jobs with finished tasks, we extended the checkpoint procedure. Previously the checkpoint coordinator inside the JobManager first notifies all the sources to report snapshots, then all the sources further notify their descendants via broadcasting barrier events. Since now the sources might have already finished, the checkpoint coordinator would instead treat the running tasks who also do not have running precedent tasks as &ldquo;new sources&rdquo;, and it notifies these tasks to initiate the checkpoints. Finally, if the subtasks of an operator are either finished on triggering checkpoint or have finished processing all the data on snapshotting states, the operator would be marked as fully finished.
 The changes of the checkpoint procedure are transparent to users except that for checkpoints indeed containing finished tasks, we disallowed adding new operators as precedents of the fully finished ones, since it would make the fully finished operators have running precedents after restarting, which conflicts with the design that tasks finished in topological order.
 Revise the Process of Finishing # Based on the ability to take checkpoints with finished tasks, we could then solve the issue that two-phase-commit operators could not commit all the data when running in streaming mode. As the background, Flink jobs have two ways to finish:
-All sources are bound and they processed all the input records. The job will finish after all the input records are processed and all the result are committed to external systems. Users execute stop-with-savepoint [--drain]. The job will take a savepoint and then finish. With –-drain, the job will be stopped permanently and is also required to commit all the data. However, without --drain the job might be resumed from the savepoint later, thus not all data are required to be committed, as long as the state of the data could be recovered from the savepoint. Let\u0026rsquo;s first have a look at the case of bounded sources. To achieve end-to-end exactly-once, two-phase-commit operators only commit data after a checkpoint following this piece of data succeeded. However, previously there is no such an opportunity for the data between the last periodic checkpoint and job getting finished, and the data finally gets lost. Note that it is also not correct if we directly commit the data on job finished, since if there are failovers after that (like due to other unfinished tasks getting failed), the data will be replayed and cause duplication.

However, without --drain the job might be resumed from the savepoint later, thus not all data are required to be committed, as long as the state of the data could be recovered from the savepoint.

Note that it is also not correct if we directly commit the data on job finished, since if there are failovers after that (like due to other unfinished tasks getting failed), the data will be replayed and cause duplication.
 The case of stop-with-savepoint --drain also has problems. The previous implementation first stalls the execution and takes a savepoint. After the savepoint succeeds, all the source tasks would stop actively. Although the savepoint seems to provide the opportunity to commit all the data, some processing logic is in fact executed during the job getting stopped, and the records produced would be discarded by mistake. For example, calling endInput() method for operators happens during the stopping phase, some operators like the async operator might still emit new records in this method.
 At last, although stop-with-savepoint without draining is not required to commit all the data, we hope the job finish process could be unified for all the cases to keep the code clean.
 To fix the remaining issues, we need to modify the process of finishing to ensure all the data getting committed for the required cases. An intuitive idea is to directly insert a step to the tasks’ lifecycle to wait for the next checkpoint, as shown in the left part of Figure 3. However, it could not solve all the issues.
 Figure 3. A comparison of the two options to ensure tasks committed all the data before getting finished. The first option directly inserts a step in the tasks’ lifecycle to wait for the next checkpoint, which disallows the tasks to wait for the same checkpoint / savepoint. The second option decouples the notification of finishing operator logic and finishing tasks, thus it allows all the tasks to first process all records, then they have the chance to wait for the same checkpoint / savepoint. For the case of bounded sources, the intuitive idea works, but it might have performance issues in some cases: as exemplified in Figure 4, If there are multiple cascading tasks containing two-phase commit sinks, each task would wait for the next checkpoint separately, thus the job needs to wait for three more checkpoints during finishing, which might prolong the total execution time for a long time.
 Figure 4. An example job that contains a chain of tasks containing two-phase-commit operators. For the case of stop-with-savepoint [--drain], the intuitive idea does not work since different tasks have to wait for different checkpoints / savepoints, thus we could not finish the job with a specific savepoint.
-Therefore, we do not take the intuitive option. Instead, we decoupled \u0026ldquo;finishing operator logic\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;finishing tasks\u0026rdquo;: all the tasks would first finish their execution logic as a whole, including calling lifecycle methods like endInput(), then each task could wait for the next checkpoint concurrently. Besides, for stop-with-savepoint we also reverted the current implementation similarly: all the tasks will first finish executing the operators\u0026rsquo; logic, then they simply wait for the next savepoint to happen before finish. Therefore, in this way the finishing processes are unified and the data could be fully committed for all the cases.
-Based on this thought, as shown in the right part of Figure 3, to decoupled the process of \u0026ldquo;finishing operator logic\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;finishing tasks\u0026rdquo;, we introduced a new EndOfData event. For each task, after executing all the operator logic it would first notify the descendants with an EndOfData event so that the descendants also have chances to finish executing the operator logic. Then all the tasks could wait for the next checkpoint or the specified savepoint concurrently to commit all the remaining data before getting finished.

Then all the tasks could wait for the next checkpoint or the specified savepoint concurrently to commit all the remaining data before getting finished.
 At last, it is also worthy to mention we have clarified and renamed the close() and dispose() methods in the operators’ lifecycle. The two methods are in fact different since close() is only called when the task finishes normally and dispose() is called in both cases of normal finishing and failover. However, this was not clear from their names. Therefore, we rename the two methods to finish() and close():
 finish() marks the termination of the operator and no more records are allowed after finish() is called. It should only be called when sources are finished or when the -–drain parameter is specified. close() is used to do cleanup and release all the held resources. Conclusion # By supporting the checkpoints after tasks finished and revising the process of finishing, we can support checkpoints for jobs with both bounded and unbounded sources, and ensure the bounded job gets all output records committed before it finishes. The motivation behind this change is to ensure data consistency, results completeness, and failure recovery if there are bounded sources in the pipeline.

 Implementation of support Checkpointing with Finished Tasks # As described in part one, to support checkpoints after some tasks are finished, the core idea is to mark the finished operators in checkpoints and skip executing these operators after recovery. To implement this idea, we enhanced the checkpointing procedure to generate the flag and use the flag on recovery. This section presents more details on the process of taking checkpoints with finished tasks and recovery from such checkpoints.
-Previously, checkpointing only worked when all tasks were running. As shown in the Figure 1, in this case the checkpoint coordinator first notify all the source tasks, and then the source tasks further notify the downstream tasks to take snapshots via barrier events. Similarly, if there are finished tasks, we need to find the new \u0026ldquo;source\u0026rdquo; tasks to initiate the checkpoint, namely those tasks that are still running but have no running precedent tasks. CheckpointCoordinator does the computation atomically at the JobManager side based on the latest states recorded in the execution graph.
+Previously, checkpointing only worked when all tasks were running. As shown in the Figure 1, in this case the checkpoint coordinator first notify all the source tasks, and then the source tasks further notify the downstream tasks to take snapshots via barrier events. Similarly, if there are finished tasks, we need to find the new &ldquo;source&rdquo; tasks to initiate the checkpoint, namely those tasks that are still running but have no running precedent tasks. CheckpointCoordinator does the computation atomically at the JobManager side based on the latest states recorded in the execution graph.
 There might be race conditions when triggering tasks: when the checkpoint coordinator decides to trigger one task and starts emitting the RPC, it is possible that the task is just finished and reporting the FINISHED status to JobManager. In this case, the RPC message would fail and the checkpoint would be aborted.
 Figure 1. The tasks chosen as the new sources when taking checkpoint with finished tasks. The principle is to choose the running tasks whose precedent tasks are all finished. In order to keep track of the finish status of each operator, we need to extend the checkpoint format. A checkpoint consists of the states of all the stateful operators, and the state of one operator consists of the entries from all its parallel instances. Note that the concept of Task is not reflected in the checkpoint. Task is more of a physical execution container that drives the behavior of operators. It is not well-defined across multiple executions of the same job since job upgrades might modify the operators contained in one task. Therefore, the finished status should also be attached to the operators.
 As shown in the Figure 2, operators could be classified into three types according to their finished status:

 The Revised Process of Finishing # As described in the part one, based on the ability to take checkpoints with finished tasks, we revised the process of finishing so that we could always commit all the data for two-phase-commit sinks. We’ll show the detailed protocol of the finished process in this section.
 How did Jobs in Flink Finish Before? # A job might finish in two ways: all sources finish or users execute stop-with-savepoint [--drain]. Let’s first have a look at the detailed process of finishing before FLIP-147.
 When sources finish # If all the sources are bounded, The job will finish after all the input records are processed and all the result are committed to external systems. In this case, the sources would first emit a MAX_WATERMARK (Long.MAX_VALUE) and then start to terminate the task. On termination, a task would call endOfInput(), close() and dispose() for all the operators, then emit an EndOfPartitionEvent to the downstream tasks. The intermediate tasks would start terminating after receiving an EndOfPartitionEvent from all the input channels, and this process will continue until the last task is finished.
-1. Source operators emit MAX_WATERMARK 2. On received MAX_WATERMARK for non-source operators a. Trigger all the event-time timers b. Emit MAX_WATERMARK 3. Source tasks finished a. endInput(inputId) for all the operators b. close() for all the operators c. dispose() for all the operators d. Emit EndOfPartitionEvent e. Task cleanup 4. On received EndOfPartitionEvent for non-source tasks a. endInput(int inputId) for all the operators b. close() for all the operators c. dispose() for all the operators d. Emit EndOfPartitionEvent e. Task cleanup When users execute stop-with-savepoint [\u0026ndash;drain] # Users could execute the command stop-with-savepoint [\u0026ndash;drain] for both bounded and unbounded jobs to trigger jobs to finish. In this case, Flink first triggers a synchronous savepoint and all the tasks would stall after seeing the synchronous savepoint. If the savepoint succeeds, all the source operators would finish actively and the job would finish the same as the above scenario.

In this case, Flink first triggers a synchronous savepoint and all the tasks would stall after seeing the synchronous savepoint. If the savepoint succeeds, all the source operators would finish actively and the job would finish the same as the above scenario.
 1. Trigger a savepoint 2. Sources received savepoint trigger RPC a. If with –-drain i. source operators emit MAX_WATERMARK b. Source emits savepoint barrier 3. On received MAX_WATERMARK for non-source operators a. Trigger all the event times b. Emit MAX_WATERMARK 4. On received savepoint barrier for non-source operators a. The task blocks till the savepoint succeed 5. Finish the source tasks actively a. If with –-drain ii. endInput(inputId) for all the operators b. close() for all the operators c. dispose() for all the operators d. Emit EndOfPartitionEvent e. Task cleanup 6. On received EndOfPartitionEvent for non-source tasks a. If with –-drain i. endInput(int inputId) for all the operators b. close() for all the operators c. dispose() for all the operators d. Emit EndOfPartitionEvent e. Task cleanup A parameter –-drain is supported with stop-with-savepoint: if not specified, the job is expected to resume from this savepoint, otherwise the job is expected to terminate permanently. Thus we only emit MAX_WATERMARK to trigger all the event timers and call endInput() in the latter case.
-Revise the Finishing Steps # As described in part one, after revising the process of finishing, we have decoupled the process of \u0026ldquo;finishing operator logic\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;finishing task\u0026rdquo; by introducing a new EndOfData event. After the revision each task will first notify the descendants with an EndOfData event after executing all the logic so that the descendants also have chances to finish executing the operator logic, then all the tasks could wait for the next checkpoint or the specified savepoint concurrently to commit all the remaining data. This section will present the detailed protocol of the revised process. Since we have renamed close() /dispose() to finish() / close(), we’ll stick to the new terminologies in the following description.

This section will present the detailed protocol of the revised process. Since we have renamed close() /dispose() to finish() / close(), we’ll stick to the new terminologies in the following description.
 The revised process of finishing is shown as follows:
 1. Source tasks finished due to no more records or stop-with-savepoint. a. if no more records or stop-with-savepoint –-drain i. source operators emit MAX_WATERMARK ii. endInput(inputId) for all the operators iii. finish() for all the operators iv. emit EndOfData[isDrain = true] event b. else if stop-with-savepoint i. emit EndOfData[isDrain = false] event c. Wait for the next checkpoint / the savepoint after operator finished complete d. close() for all the operators e. Emit EndOfPartitionEvent f. Task cleanup 2. On received MAX_WATERMARK for non-source operators a. Trigger all the event times b. Emit MAX_WATERMARK 3. On received EndOfData for non-source tasks a. If isDrain i. endInput(int inputId) for all the operators ii. finish() for all the operators b. Emit EndOfData[isDrain = the flag value of the received event] 4. On received EndOfPartitionEvent for non-source tasks a. Wait for the next checkpoint / the savepoint after operator finished complete b. close() for all the operators c. Emit EndOfPartitionEvent d. Task cleanup Figure 3. An example job of the revised process of finishing. An example of the process of job finishing is shown in Figure 3.
-Let\u0026rsquo;s first have a look at the example that all the source tasks are bounded. If Task C finishes after processing all the records, it first emits the max-watermark, then finishes the operators and emits the EndOfData event. After that, it waits for the next checkpoint to complete and then emits the EndOfPartitionEvent.
+Let&rsquo;s first have a look at the example that all the source tasks are bounded. If Task C finishes after processing all the records, it first emits the max-watermark, then finishes the operators and emits the EndOfData event. After that, it waits for the next checkpoint to complete and then emits the EndOfPartitionEvent.
 Task D finishes all the operators right after receiving the EndOfData event. Since any checkpoints taken after operators finish can commit all the pending records and be the final checkpoint, Task D’s final checkpoint would be the same as Task C’s since the barrier must be emitted after the EndOfData event.
 Task E is a bit different in that it has two inputs. Task A might continue to run for a while and, thus, Task E needs to wait until it receives an EndOfData event also from the other input before finishing operators and its final checkpoint might be different.
 On the other hand, when using stop-with-savepoint [--drain], the process is similar except that all the tasks need to wait for the exact savepoint before finishing instead of just any checkpoints. Moreover, since both Task C and Task A would finish at the same time, Task E would also be able to wait for this particular savepoint before finishing.
 Conclusion # In this part we have presented more details of how the checkpoints are taken with finished tasks and the revised process of finishing. We hope the details could provide more insights of the thoughts and implementations for this part of work. Still, if you have any questions, please feel free to start a discussion or report an issue in the dev or user mailing list.

For batch jobs, a small parallelism may result in long execution time and big failover regression. While an unnecessary large parallelism may result in resource waste and more overhead cost in task deployment and network shuffling.
 To decide a proper parallelism, one needs to know how much data each operator needs to process. However, It can be hard to predict data volume to be processed by a job because it can be different everyday. And it can be harder or even impossible (due to complex operators or UDFs) to predict data volume to be processed by each operator.
 To solve this problem, we introduced the adaptive batch scheduler in Flink 1.15. The adaptive batch scheduler can automatically decide parallelism of an operator according to the size of its consumed datasets. Here are the benefits the adaptive batch scheduler can bring:
 Batch job users can be relieved from parallelism tuning. Parallelism tuning is fine grained considering different operators. This is particularly beneficial for SQL jobs which can only be set with a global parallelism previously. Parallelism tuning can better fit consumed datasets which have a varying volume size every day. Get Started # To automatically decide parallelism of operators, you need to:
 Configure to use adaptive batch scheduler. Set the parallelism of operators to -1. Configure to use adaptive batch scheduler # To use adaptive batch scheduler, you need to set configurations as below:
 Set jobmanager.scheduler: AdaptiveBatch. Leave the execution.batch-shuffle-mode unset or explicitly set it to ALL-EXCHANGES-BLOCKING (default value). Currently, the adaptive batch scheduler only supports batch jobs whose shuffle mode is ALL-EXCHANGES-BLOCKING. In addition, there are several related configuration options to control the upper bounds and lower bounds of tuned parallelisms, to specify expected data volume to process by each operator, and to specify the default parallelism of sources. More details can be found in the feature documentation page.
 Set the parallelism of operators to -1 # The adaptive batch scheduler only automatically decides parallelism of operators whose parallelism is not set (which means the parallelism is -1). To leave parallelism unset, you should configure as follows:
-Set parallelism.default: -1 for all jobs. Set table.exec.resource.default-parallelism: -1 for SQL jobs. Don\u0026rsquo;t call setParallelism() for operators in DataStream/DataSet jobs. Don\u0026rsquo;t call setParallelism() on StreamExecutionEnvironment/ExecutionEnvironment in DataStream/DataSet jobs. Implementation Details # In this section, we will elaborate the details of the implementation. Before that, we need to briefly introduce some concepts involved:

Implementation Details # In this section, we will elaborate the details of the implementation. Before that, we need to briefly introduce some concepts involved:
 JobVertex and JobGraph: A job vertex is an operator chain formed by chaining several operators together for better performance. The job graph is a data flow consisting of job vertices. ExecutionVertex and ExecutionGraph: An execution vertex represents a parallel subtask of a job vertex, which will eventually be instantiated as a physical task. For example, a job vertex with a parallelism of 100 will generate 100 execution vertices. The execution graph is the physical execution topology consisting of all execution vertices. More details about the above concepts can be found in the Flink documentation. Note that the adaptive batch scheduler decides the parallelism of operators by deciding the parallelism of the job vertices which consist of these operators. To automatically decide parallelism of job vertices, we introduced the following changes:
 Enabled the scheduler to collect sizes of finished datasets. Introduced a new component VertexParallelismDecider to compute proper parallelisms of job vertices according to the sizes of their consumed results. Enabled to dynamically build up execution graph to allow the parallelisms of job vertices to be decided lazily. The execution graph starts with an empty execution topology and then gradually attaches the vertices during job execution. Introduced the adaptive batch scheduler to update and schedule the dynamic execution graph. The details will be introduced in the following sections.
 Fig. 1 - The overall structure of automatically deciding parallelism Collect sizes of consumed datasets # The adaptive batch scheduler decides the parallelism of vertices by the size of input results, so the scheduler needs to know the sizes of result partitions produced by tasks. We introduced a numBytesProduced counter to record the size of each produced result partition, the accumulated result of the counter will be sent to the scheduler when tasks finish.

 Generally, the broadcast dataset is usually relatively small against the other co-processed datasets, so we set the maximum ratio to 0.5 by default. The value is hard coded in the first version, and we may make it configurable later.
 Normalize the parallelism to the closest power of 2 # The normalize is to avoid introducing data skew. To better understand this section, we suggest you read the Flexible subpartition mapping section first.
 Taking Fig. 4 (b) as example, A1/A2 produces 4 subpartitions, and the decided parallelism of B is 3. In this case, B1 will consume 1 subpartition, B2 will consume 1 subpartition, and B3 will consume 2 subpartitions. We assume that subpartitions have the same amount of data, which means B3 will consume twice the data of other tasks, data skew is introduced due to the subpartition mapping.
-To solve this problem, we need to make the subpartitions evenly consumed by downstream tasks, which means the number of subpartitions should be a multiple of the number of downstream tasks. For simplicity, we require the user-specified max parallelism to be 2N, and then adjust the calculated parallelism to a closest 2M (M \u0026lt;= N), so that we can guarantee that subpartitions will be evenly consumed by downstream tasks.

 The parallelism of the corresponding job vertex is decided. All upstream execution vertices are already attached. The parallelism of the job vertex needs to be decided first so that Flink knows how many execution vertices should be created. Upstream execution vertices need to be attached first so that Flink can connect the newly created execution vertices to the upstream vertices with execution edges.
 Fig. 2 - Build up execution graph dynamically Flexible subpartition mapping # Before the adaptive batch scheduler was introduced to Flink, when deploying a task, Flink needed to know the parallelism of its consumer job vertex. This is because consumer vertex parallelism is used to decide the number of subpartitions produced by each upstream task. The reason behind that is, for one result partition, different subpartitions serve different consumer execution vertices. More specifically, one consumer execution vertex only consumes data from subpartition with the same index.
 Taking Fig. 3 as example, parallelism of the consumer B is 2, so the result partition produced by A1/A2 should contain 2 subpartitions, the subpartition with index 0 serves B1, and the subpartition with index 1 serves B2.
-Fig. 3 - How subpartitions serve consumer execution vertices with static execution graph But obviously, this doesn\u0026rsquo;t work for dynamic graphs, because when a job vertex is deployed, the parallelism of its consumer job vertices may not have been decided yet. To enable Flink to work in this case, we need a way to allow a job vertex to run without knowing the parallelism of its consumer job vertices.

To enable Flink to work in this case, we need a way to allow a job vertex to run without knowing the parallelism of its consumer job vertices.
 To achieve this goal, we can set the number of subpartitions to be the max parallelism of the consumer job vertex. Then when the consumer execution vertices are deployed, they should be assigned with a subpartition range to consume. Suppose N is the number of consumer execution vertices and P is the number of subpartitions. For the kth consumer execution vertex, the consumed subpartition range should be:
 Taking Fig. 4 as example, the max parallelism of B is 4, so A1/A2 have 4 subpartitions. And then if the decided parallelism of B is 2, then the subpartitions mapping will be Fig. 4 (a), if the decided parallelism of B is 3, then the subpartitions mapping will be Fig. 4 (b).
 Fig. 4 - How subpartitions serve consumer execution vertices with dynamic graph Update and schedule the dynamic execution graph # The adaptive batch scheduler scheduling is similar to the default scheduler, the only difference is that an empty dynamic execution graph will be generated initially and vertices will be attached later. Before handling any scheduling event, the scheduler will try deciding the parallelisms of job vertices, and then initialize them to generate execution vertices, connecting execution edges, and update the execution graph.
 The scheduler will try to decide the parallelism of all job vertices before handling each scheduling event, and the parallelism decision will be made for each job vertex in topological order:
 For source vertices, the parallelism should have been decided before starting scheduling. For non-source vertices, the parallelism can be decided only when all its consumed results are fully produced. After deciding the parallelism, the scheduler will try to initialize the job vertices in topological order. A job vertex that can be initialized should meet the following conditions:
 The parallelism of the job vertex has been decided and the job vertex has not been initialized yet. All upstream job vertices have been initialized. Future improvement # Auto-rebalancing of workloads # When running batch jobs, data skew may occur (a task needs to process much larger data than other tasks), which leads to long-tail tasks and further slows down the finish of jobs. Users usually hope that the system can automatically solve this problem. One typical data skew case is that some subpartitions have a significantly larger amount of data than others. This case can be solved by finer grained subpartitions and auto-rebalancing of workload. The work of the adaptive batch scheduler can be considered as the first step towards it, because the requirements of auto-rebalancing are similar to adaptive batch scheduler, they both need the support of dynamic graphs and the collection of result partitions size. Based on the implementation of adaptive batch scheduler, we can solve the above problem by increasing max parallelism (for finer grained subpartitions) and simply changing the subpartition range division algorithm (for auto-rebalancing). In the current design, the subpartition range is divided according to the number of subpartitions, we can change it to divide according to the amount of data in subpartitions, so that the amount of data within each subpartition range can be approximately the same. In this way, workloads of downstream tasks can be balanced.

 Deployment Recovery and Rollbacks # We have added two new features to make Flink cluster operations smoother when using the operator.
 Now the operator will try to recover Flink JobManager deployments that went missing for some reason. Maybe it was accidentally deleted by the user or another service in the cluster. As long as HA was enabled and the job did not fatally fail, the operator will try to restore the job from the latest available checkpoint.

 Furthermore, сheckpoint duration also defines the reasonable interval with which checkpoints are made. A shorter interval provides the following advantages:
 Lower latency for transactional sinks: Transactional sinks commit on checkpoints, so faster checkpoints mean more frequent commits. More predictable checkpoint intervals: Currently, the duration of a checkpoint depends on the size of the artifacts that need to be persisted in the checkpoint storage. Less work on recovery. The more frequently the checkpoint, the fewer events need to be re-processed after recovery. Following are the main factors affecting checkpoint duration in Flink:
 Barrier travel time and alignment duration Time to take state snapshot and persist it onto the durable highly-available storage (such as S3) Recent improvements such as Unaligned checkpoints and Buffer debloating try to address (1), especially in the presence of back-pressure. Previously, Incremental checkpoints were introduced to reduce the size of a snapshot, thereby reducing the time required to store it (2).
 However, there are still some cases when this duration is high
 Every checkpoint is delayed by at least one task with high parallelism # With the existing incremental checkpoint implementation of the RocksDB state backend, every subtask needs to periodically perform some form of compaction. That compaction results in new, relatively big files, which in turn increase the upload time (2). The probability of at least one node performing such compaction and thus slowing down the whole checkpoint grows proportionally to the number of nodes. In large deployments, almost every checkpoint becomes delayed by some node.
-Unnecessary delay before uploading state snapshot # State backends don\u0026rsquo;t start any snapshotting work until the task receives at least one checkpoint barrier, increasing the effective checkpoint duration.

This is suboptimal if the upload time is comparable to the checkpoint interval; instead, a snapshot could be uploaded continuously throughout the interval.
 This work discusses the mechanism introduced in Flink 1.15 to address the above cases by continuously persisting state changes on non-volatile storage while performing materialization in the background. The basic idea is described in the following section, and then important implementation details are highlighted. Subsequent sections discuss benchmarking results, limitations, and future work.
 High-level Overview # The core idea is to introduce a state changelog (a log that records state changes); this changelog allows operators to persist state changes in a very fine-grained manner, as described below:
 Stateful operators write the state changes to the state changelog, in addition to applying them to the state tables in RocksDB or the in-mem Hashtable. An operator can acknowledge a checkpoint as soon as the changes in the log have reached the durable checkpoint storage. The state tables are persisted periodically as well, independent of the checkpoints. We call this procedure the materialization of the state on the durable checkpoint storage. Once the state is materialized on the checkpoint storage, the state changelog can be truncated to the point where the state is materialized. This can be illustrated as follows:
-\u0026lt;br/\u0026gt; This approach mirrors what database systems do, adjusted to distributed checkpoints:
+&lt;br/&gt; This approach mirrors what database systems do, adjusted to distributed checkpoints:
 Changes (inserts/updates/deletes) are written to the transaction log, and the transaction is considered durable once the log is synced to disk (or other durable storage). The changes are also materialized in the tables (so the database system can efficiently query the table). The tables are usually persisted asynchronously. Once all relevant parts of the changed tables have been persisted, the transaction log can be truncated, which is similar to the materialization procedure in our approach.
 Such a design makes a number of trade-offs:
 Increased use of network IO and remote storage space for changelog Increased memory usage to buffer state changes Increased time to replay state changes during the recovery process The last one, may or may not be compensated by more frequent checkpoints. More frequent checkpoints mean less re-processing is needed after recovery.

 Latency # We target checkpoint duration of 1s in the Flink 1.15 MVP for 99% of checkpoints. Therefore, an individual write request must complete within that duration or less (if parallelism is 100, then 99.99% of write requests must complete within 1s).
 Consistency # Once a change is persisted (and acknowledged to JM), it must be available for replay to enable recovery (this can be achieved by using a single machine, quorum, or synchronous replication).
 Concurrency # Each task writes to its own changelog, which prevents concurrency issues across multiple tasks. However, when a task is restarted, it needs to write to the same log, which may cause concurrency issues. This is addressed by:
-Using unique log segment identifiers while writing Fencing previous execution attempts on JM when handling checkpoint acknowledgments After closing the log, treating it as Flink state, which is read-only and is discarded by a single JM (leader) To emphasize the difference in durability requirements and usage compared to other systems (durable, short-lived, append-only), the component is called \u0026ldquo;Durable Short-term Log\u0026rdquo; (DSTL).

 DSTL can be implemented in many ways, such as Distributed Log, Distributed File System* (DFS), or even a database. In the MVP version in Flink 1.15, we chose DFS because of the following reasons:
 No additional external dependency; DFS is readily available in most environments and is already used to store checkpoints No additional stateful components to manage; using any other persistence medium would incur additional operational overhead DFS natively provides durability and consistency guarantees which need to be taken care of when implementing a new customized distributed log storage (in particular, when implementing replication) On the other hand, the DFS approach has the following disadvantages:
 has higher latency than for example Distributed Log writing to the local disks its scalability is limited by DFS (most Storage Providers start rate-limiting at some point) However, after some initial experimentation, we think the performance of popular DFS could satisfy 80% of the use cases, and more results will be illustrated with the MVP version in a later section. DFS here makes no distinction between DFS and object stores.

 Benchmark results # The improvement of checkpoint stability and speed after enabling Changelog highly depends on the factors below:
 The difference between the changelog diff size and the full state size (or incremental state size, if comparing changelog to incremental checkpoints). The ability to upload the updates continuously during the checkpoint (e.g. an operator might maintain state in memory and only update Flink state objects on checkpoint - in this case, changelog wouldn’t help much). The ability to group updates from multiple tasks (multiple tasks must be deployed on a single TM). Grouping the updates leads to fewer files being created thereby reducing the load on DFS, which improves the stability. The ability of the underlying backend to accumulate updates to the same key before flushing (This makes state change log potentially contain more updates compared to just the final value, leading to a larger incremental changelog state size) The speed of the underlying durable storage (the faster it is, the less significant the improvement) The following setup was used in the experiment:

Most of the data is persisted pre-emptively (i.e. after the previous checkpoint and before the current one), and that’s why this size is much lower when the Changelog is enabled. * Full checkpoint size is the total size of all the files comprising the checkpoint, including any files reused from the previous checkpoints. Compared to a normal checkpoint, the one with a changelog is less compact, keeping all the historical values since the last materialization, and therefore consumes much more space

-Assigning each element to multiple sliding windows (and persisting the state changelog for each). While RocksDB and Heap have the same issue, with changelog the impact is multiplied even further. As mentioned above, if the underlying state backend (i.e. RocksDB) is able to accumulate multiple state updates for the same key without flushing, the snapshot will be smaller in size than the changelog. In this particular case of sliding window, the updates to its contents are eventually followed by purging that window. If those updates and purge happen during the same checkpoint, then it\u0026rsquo;s quite likely that the window is not included in the snapshot. This also implies that the faster the window is purged, the smaller the size of the snapshot is. Conclusion and future work # Generic log-based incremental checkpoints is released as MVP version in Flink 1.15. This version demonstrates that solutions based on modern DFS can provide good enough latency. Furthermore, checkpointing time and stability are improved significantly by using the Changelog. However, some trade-offs must be made before using it (in particular, space amplification). In the next releases, we plan to enable more use cases for Changelog, e.g., by reducing recovery time via local recovery and improving compatibility.

 Direct latency optimization # Spread work across time # When you use timers or do windowing in a job, timer or window firing may create load spikes due to heavy computation or state access. If the allocated resources cannot cope with these load spikes, timer or window firing will take a long time to finish. This often results in high latency.
 To avoid this situation, you should change your code to spread out the workload as much as possible such that you do not accumulate too much work to be done at a single point in time. In the case of windowing, you should consider using incremental window aggregation with AggregateFunction or ReduceFunction. In the case of timers in a ProcessFunction, the operations executed in the onTimer() method should be optimized such that the time spent there is reduced to a minimum. If you see latency spikes resulting from a global aggregation or if you need to collect events in a well-defined order to perform certain computations, you can consider adding a pre-aggregation phase in front of the current operator.
 You can apply this optimization if you are using timer-based processing (e.g., timers, windowing) and an efficient aggregation can be applied whenever an event arrives instead of waiting for timers to fire.

 Latency # Types of latency # Latency can refer to different things. LatencyMarkers in Flink measure the time it takes for the markers to travel from each source operator to each downstream operator. As LatencyMarkers bypass user functions in operators, the measured latencies do not reflect the entire end-to-end latency but only a part of it. Flink also supports tracking the state access latency, which measures the response latency when state is read/written. One can also manually measure the time taken by some operators, or get this data with profilers. However, what users usually care about is the end-to-end latency, including the time spent in user-defined functions, in the stream processing framework, and when state is accessed. End-to-end latency is what we will focus on.

 Use applicable state backends # When using the filesystem (Flink 1.12 or early) or hashmap (Flink 1.13 or later) state backend, the state objects are stored in memory and can be accessed directly. In contrast, when using the rocksdb state backend, every state access has to go through a (de-)serialization process which in addition may involve disk accesses. So using filesystem/hashmap state backend can help reduce latency.
 You can apply this optimization if your state size is very small compared to the memory you can allocate to your job and your state size will not grow beyond your memory capacity. You can set the managed memory size to 0 if not needed. Since Flink 1.13, you can always start with the hashmap state backend and seamlessly switch to the rocksdb state backend via savepoints when the state increases to the size that is close to your memory capacity. Note that you should closely monitor the memory usage and perform the switch before an out-of-memory happens. Please refer to this Flink blog post for best practices when using the rocksdb state backend.
 Keep in mind that heap-based state backends use more memory compared with RocksDB due to their copy-on-write data structure and Java’s on-heap object representation. Heap-based state backends can be affected by the garbage collector which makes them less predictable and may lead to high tail latencies. Also, as of now, there is no support for incremental checkpointing (this is being developed in FLIP-151). You should measure the difference before you make the switch.
-Our experiments with the previously mentioned WindowingJob after switching the state backend from rocksdb to hashmap show a further reduction of the latency down to 500ms. Depending on your job’s state access pattern, you may see larger or smaller improvements. The graph on the right shows the garbage collection\u0026rsquo;s impact on the latency.

 Emit watermarks quickly # When using a periodic watermark generator, Flink generates a watermark every 200 ms. This means that, by default, each parallel watermark generator does not produce watermark updates until 200 ms have passed. While this may be sufficient for many cases, if you are aiming for sub-second latencies, you could try reducing the interval even further, for example, to 100 ms.
 You can apply this optimization if you use event time and a periodic watermark generator, and you are aiming for sub-second latencies.
 Keep in mind that watermark generation that is too frequent may also degrade performance because more watermarks must be processed by the framework. Moreover, even though watermarks are only created every 200 milliseconds, watermarks may arrive at much higher frequencies further downstream in your job because tasks may receive watermarks from multiple parallel watermark generators.

 What is Flink Table Store # In the past years, thanks to our numerous contributors and users, Apache Flink has established itself as one of the best distributed computing engines, especially for stateful stream processing at large scale. However, there are still a few challenges people are facing when they try to obtain insights from their data in real-time. Among these challenges, one prominent problem is lack of storage that caters to all the computing patterns.
 As of now it is quite common that people deploy a few storage systems to work with Flink for different purposes. A typical setup is a message queue for stream processing, a scannable file system / object store for batch processing and ad-hoc queries, and a K-V store for lookups. Such an architecture posts challenge in data quality and system maintenance, due to its complexity and heterogeneity. This is becoming a major issue that hurts the end-to-end user experience of streaming and batch unification brought by Apache Flink.
-The goal of Flink table store is to address the above issues. This is an important step of the project. It extends Flink\u0026rsquo;s capability from computing to the storage domain. So we can provide a better end-to-end experience to the users.
-Flink Table Store aims to provide a unified storage abstraction, so users don\u0026rsquo;t have to build the hybrid storage by themselves. More specifically, Table Store offers the following core capabilities:
-Support storage of large datasets and allows read / write in both batch and streaming manner. Support streaming queries with minimum latency down to milliseconds. Support Batch/OLAP queries with minimum latency down to the second level. Support incremental snapshots for stream consumption by default. So users don\u0026rsquo;t need to solve the problem of combining different stores by themselves. In this preview version, as shown in the architecture above:
-Users can use Flink to insert data into the Table Store, either by streaming the change log captured from databases, or by loading the data in batches from the other stores like data warehouses. Users can use Flink to query the table store in different ways, including streaming queries and Batch/OLAP queries. It is also worth noting that users can use other engines such as Apache Hive to query from the table store as well. Under the hood, table Store uses a hybrid storage architecture, using a Lake Store to store historical data and a Queue system (Apache Kafka integration is currently supported) to store incremental data. It provides incremental snapshots for hybrid streaming reads. Table Store\u0026rsquo;s Lake Store stores data as columnar files on file system / object store, and uses the LSM Structure to support a large amount of data updates and high-performance queries. Many thanks for the inspiration of the following systems: Apache Iceberg and RocksDB.

 Before Flink 1.15, Python user-defined functions will be executed in separate Python processes (based on the Apache Beam Portability Framework). It will bring additional serialization/deserialization overhead and also communication overhead. In scenarios where the data size is big, e.g. image processing, etc, this overhead becomes non-negligible. Besides, since it involves inter-process communication, the processing latency is also non-negligible, which is unacceptable in scenarios where the latency is critical, e.g. quantitative transaction, etc.
-In Flink 1.15, we have introduced a new execution mode named \u0026rsquo;thread\u0026rsquo; mode (based on PEMJA) where the Python user-defined functions will be executed in the JVM as a thread instead of a separate Python process. In this article, we will dig into the details about this execution mode and also share some benchmark data to give users a basic understanding of how it works and which scenarios it’s applicable for.

 On the right side of Fig. 1, it shows the details of the Python operators where the Python user-defined functions were executed in separate Python processes.
 In order to communicate with the Python worker process, a series of communication services are required between the Python operator(runs in JVM) and the Python worker(runs in Python VM). PyFlink has employed Apache Beam Portability framework to execute Python user-defined functions which provides the basic building blocks required for PyFlink.

One of the most typical scenarios is image processing, where the input data size is often very big. Besides, since it involves inter-process communication, the processing latency is also non-negligible which is unacceptable in scenarios where latency is critical, e.g. quantitative transaction, etc. In order to overcome these problems, we have introduced a new execution mode(thread mode) where Python user-defined functions will be executed in the JVM as a thread instead of a separate Python process. In the following section, we will dig into the details of this new execution mode.

 PEMJA: Similar to Jep and JPype, PEMJA is built on CPython, so it cannot support other Python interpreters, such as PyPy, etc. Since CPython is the most used implementation and standard of Python Runtime officially provided by Python, most libraries of the Python ecology are built on CPython Runtime and so could work with PEMJA naturally.
 Thread Mode # Fig. 4 - PyFlink Runtime in Thread Mode From the picture above, we can see that in thread mode, the Python user-defined function runs in the same process as the Python operator(which runs in JVM). PEMJA is used as a bridge between the Java code and the Python code.
 Since the Python user-defined function runs in JVM, for each input data received from the upstream operators, it will be passed to the Python user-defined function directly instead of buffered and passed to the Python user-defined function in a batch. Therefore, thread mode could have lower latency compared to the process mode. Currently, if users want to achieve lower latency in process mode, usually they need to configure the python.fn-execution.bundle.size or python.fn-execution.bundle.time to a lower value. However, since it involves inter-process communication, the latency is still a little high in some scenarios. However, this is not a problem any more in thread mode. Besides, configuring python.fn-execution.bundle.size or python.fn-execution.bundle.time to a lower value usually will affect the overall performance of the job and this will also not be a problem in thread mode.

However, this will not be a big problem any more in thread mode because of the nature that it handles the data one by one instead of a batch.

However, this will not be a big problem any more in thread mode because of the nature that it handles the data one by one instead of a batch.
 Unlike process mode which sends and receives data asynchronously in batches, in thread mode, data will be processed synchronously one by one. So usually it will have lower latency and also less checkpoint time. In terms of performance, since there is no inter-process communication, it could avoid data serialization/deserialization and communication overhead, as well as the stage of copying and context switching between kernel space and user space, so it usually will have better performance in thread mode.
 Limitations # However, there are also some limitations for thread mode:
 It only supports CPython which is also one of the most used Python interpreters. It doesn’t support session mode well and so it’s recommended that users only use thread mode in per-job or application deployments. The reason is it doesn’t support using different Python interpreters for the jobs running in the same TaskManager. This limitation comes from the fact that many Python libraries assume that they will only be initialized once in the process, so they use a lot of static variables. Usage # The execution mode could be configured via the configuration python.execution-mode. It has two possible values:
 process: The Python user-defined functions will be executed in a separate Python process. (default) thread: The Python user-defined functions will be executed in the same process as Java operators. For example, you could configure it as following in Python Table API:
-# Specify \`process\` mode table_env.get_config().set(\u0026#34;python.execution-mode\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;process\u0026#34;) # Specify \`thread\` mode table_env.get_config().set(\u0026#34;python.execution-mode\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;thread\u0026#34;) It should be noted that since this is still the first release of \u0026rsquo;thread\u0026rsquo; mode, currently there are still many limitations about it, e.g. it only supports Python ScalarFunction of Python Table API \u0026amp; SQL. It will fall back to \u0026lsquo;process\u0026rsquo; mode where \u0026rsquo;thread\u0026rsquo; mode is not supported. So it may happen that you configure a job to execute in thread mode, however, it’s actually executed in \u0026lsquo;process\u0026rsquo; execution mode.

 If you care about latency and checkpoint time, thread mode is your better choice. The processing latency could be decreased from several seconds in process mode to microseconds in thread mode.
 Thread mode can bring better performance than process mode when data serialization/deserialization is not negligible relative to UDF calculation itself. Compared to process mode, benchmark has shown that the throughput could be increased by 2x in common scenarios such as json processing in thread mode. ​​However, if the UDF calculation is slow and spends much longer time, then it is more recommended to use process mode, because the process mode is more mature and it has better resource isolation.
 When the performance of Python UDF is close to that of Java UDF, the end-to-end performance of thread mode will be close to that of Java UDF.

Snapshotting takes a global, consistent image of the state of a Flink job and is integral to fault-tolerance and exacty-once processing. Snapshots include savepoints and checkpoints.
 This post will outline the journey of improving snapshotting in past releases and the upcoming improvements in Flink 1.15, which includes making it possible to take savepoints in the native state backend specific format as well as clarifying snapshots ownership.
 Past improvements to the snapshotting process # Flink 1.13 was the first release where we announced unaligned checkpoints to be production-ready. We encouraged people to use them if their jobs are backpressured to a point where it causes issues for checkpoints. We also unified the binary format of savepoints across all different state backends, which enables stateful switching of savepoints.
-Flink 1.14 also brought additional improvements. As an alternative and as a complement to unaligned checkpoints, we introduced a feature called \u0026ldquo;buffer debloating\u0026rdquo;. This is built around the concept of automatically adjusting the amount of in-flight data that needs to be aligned while snapshotting. We also fixed another long-standing problem and made it possible to continue checkpointing even if there are finished tasks in a JobGraph.

We also fixed another long-standing problem and made it possible to continue checkpointing even if there are finished tasks in a JobGraph.
 New improvements to the snapshotting process # You can expect more improvements in Flink 1.15! We continue to be invested in making it easy to operate Flink clusters and have tackled the following problems. :)
 Savepoints can be expensive to take and restore from if taken for a very large state stored in the RocksDB state backend. In order to circumvent this issue, we have seen users leveraging the externalized incremental checkpoints instead of savepoints in order to benefit from the native RocksDB format. However, checkpoints and savepoints serve different operational purposes. Thus, we now made it possible to take savepoints in the native state backend specific format, while still maintaining some characteristics of savepoints (i.e. making them relocatable).
-Another issue reported with externalized checkpoints is that it is not clear who owns the checkpoint files (Flink or the user?). This is especially problematic when it comes to incremental RocksDB checkpoints where you can easily end up in a situation where you do not know which checkpoints depend on which files which makes it tough to clean those files up. To solve this issue, we added explicit restore modes (CLAIM, NO_CLAIM, and LEGACY) which clearly define whether Flink should take care of cleaning up the snapshots or whether it should remain the user\u0026rsquo;s responsibility. .
-The new restore modes # The Restore Mode determines who takes ownership of the files that make up savepoints or externalized checkpoints after they are restored. Snapshots, which are either checkpoints or savepoints in this context, can be owned either by a user or Flink itself. If a snapshot is owned by a user, Flink will not delete its files and will not depend on the existence of such files since it might be deleted outside of Flink\u0026rsquo;s control.

 The restore modes are CLAIM, NO_CLAIM, and LEGACY (for backwards compatibility). You can pass the restore mode like this:
 $ bin/flink run -s :savepointPath -restoreMode :mode -n [:runArgs] While each restore mode serves a specific purpose, we believe the default NO_CLAIM mode is a good tradeoff in most situations, as it provides clear ownership with a small price for the first checkpoint after the restore.
-Let\u0026rsquo;s dig further into each of the modes.
+Let&rsquo;s dig further into each of the modes.
 LEGACY mode # The legacy mode is how Flink dealt with snapshots until version 1.15. In this mode, Flink will never delete the initial checkpoint. Unfortunately, at the same time, it is not clear if a user can ever delete it as well. The problem here is that Flink might immediately build an incremental checkpoint on top of the restored one. Therefore, subsequent checkpoints depend on the restored checkpoint. Overall, the ownership is not well defined in this mode.
-NO_CLAIM (default) mode # To fix the issue of files that no one can reliably claim ownership of, we introduced the NO_CLAIM mode as the new default. In this mode, Flink will not assume ownership of the snapshot and will leave the files in the user\u0026rsquo;s control and never delete any of the files. You can start multiple jobs from the same snapshot in this mode.
+NO_CLAIM (default) mode # To fix the issue of files that no one can reliably claim ownership of, we introduced the NO_CLAIM mode as the new default. In this mode, Flink will not assume ownership of the snapshot and will leave the files in the user&rsquo;s control and never delete any of the files. You can start multiple jobs from the same snapshot in this mode.
 In order to make sure Flink does not depend on any of the files from that snapshot, it will force the first (successful) checkpoint to be a full checkpoint as opposed to an incremental one. This only makes a difference for state.backend: rocksdb, because all other state backends always take full checkpoints.
 Once the first full checkpoint completes, all subsequent checkpoints will be taken as usual/configured. Consequently, once a checkpoint succeeds, you can manually delete the original snapshot. You can not do this earlier, because without any completed checkpoints, Flink will - upon failure - try to recover from the initial snapshot.
 CLAIM mode # If you do not want to sacrifice any performance while taking the first checkpoint, we suggest looking into the CLAIM mode. In this mode, Flink claims ownership of the snapshot and essentially treats it like a checkpoint: it controls the lifecycle and might delete it if it is not needed for recovery anymore. Hence, it is not safe to manually delete the snapshot or to start two jobs from the same snapshot. Flink keeps around a configured number of checkpoints.

The main difference between checkpoints and savepoints is that savepoints are still triggered and owned by users. Flink does not create them automatically nor ever depends on their existence. Their main purpose is still for planned, manual backups, whereas checkpoints are used for recovery. In database terms, savepoints are similar to backups, whereas checkpoints are like recovery logs.

 One of the main concepts that makes Apache Flink stand out is the unification of batch (aka bounded) and stream (aka unbounded) data processing, which helps reduce the complexity of development. A lot of effort went into this unification in the previous releases, and you can expect more efforts in this direction.
 Apache Flink is not only growing when it comes to contributions and users, but also out of the original use cases. We are seeing a trend towards more business/analytics use cases implemented in low-/no-code. Flink SQL is the feature in the Flink ecosystem that enables such uses cases and this is why its popularity continues to grow.
 Apache Flink is an essential building block in data pipelines/architectures and is used with many other technologies in order to drive all sorts of use cases. While new ideas/products may appear in this domain, existing technologies continue to establish themselves as standards for solving mission-critical problems. Knowing that we have such a wide reach and play a role in the success of many projects, it is important that the experience of integrating Apache Flink with the cloud infrastructures and existing systems is as seamless and easy as possible.

 The Flink Kubernetes Operator allows users to easily manage their Flink deployment lifecycle using native Kubernetes tooling.
 The operator takes care of submitting, savepointing, upgrading and generally managing Flink jobs using the built-in Flink Kubernetes integration. This way users do not have to use the Flink Clients (e.g. CLI) or interact with the Flink jobs manually, they only have to declare the desired deployment specification and the operator will take care of the rest. It also make it easier to integrate Flink job management with CI/CD tooling.
 Core Features
 Deploy and monitor Flink Application and Session deployments Upgrade, suspend and delete Flink deployments Full logging and metrics integration Getting started # For a detailed getting started guide please check the documentation site.
 FlinkDeployment CR overview # When using the operator, users create FlinkDeployment objects to describe their Flink application and session clusters deployments.
 A minimal application deployment yaml would look like this:
-apiVersion: flink.apache.org/v1alpha1 kind: FlinkDeployment metadata: namespace: default name: basic-example spec: image: flink:1.14 flinkVersion: v1_14 flinkConfiguration: taskmanager.numberOfTaskSlots: \u0026#34;2\u0026#34; serviceAccount: flink jobManager: replicas: 1 resource: memory: \u0026#34;2048m\u0026#34; cpu: 1 taskManager: resource: memory: \u0026#34;2048m\u0026#34; cpu: 1 job: jarURI: local:///opt/flink/examples/streaming/StateMachineExample.jar parallelism: 2 upgradeMode: stateless Once applied to the cluster using kubectl apply -f your-deployment.yaml the operator will spin up the application cluster for you. If you would like to upgrade or make changes to your application, you can simply modify the yaml and submit it again, the operator will execute the necessary steps (savepoint, shutdown, redeploy etc.) to upgrade your application.

Most sinks batch records according to user-defined buffering hints, sign requests, write them to the destination, retry unsuccessful or throttled requests, and participate in checkpointing.
 This is why for Flink 1.15 we have decided to create the AsyncSinkBase (FLIP-171), an abstract sink with a number of common functionalities extracted.
-This is a base implementation for asynchronous sinks, which you should use whenever you need to implement a sink that doesn\u0026rsquo;t offer transactional capabilities. Adding support for a new destination now only requires a lightweight shim that implements the specific interfaces of the destination using a client that supports async requests.
+This is a base implementation for asynchronous sinks, which you should use whenever you need to implement a sink that doesn&rsquo;t offer transactional capabilities. Adding support for a new destination now only requires a lightweight shim that implements the specific interfaces of the destination using a client that supports async requests.
 This common abstraction will reduce the effort required to maintain individual sinks that extend from this abstract sink, with bug fixes and improvements to the sink core benefiting all implementations that extend it. The design of AsyncSinkBase focuses on extensibility and a broad support of destinations. The core of the sink is kept generic and free of any connector-specific dependencies.
 The sink base is designed to participate in checkpointing to provide at-least-once semantics and can work directly with destinations that provide a client that supports asynchronous requests.
 In this post, we will go over the details of the AsyncSinkBase so that you can start using it to build your own concrete sink.
 Adding the base sink as a dependency # In order to use the base sink, you will need to add the following dependency to your project. The example below follows the Maven syntax:
-\u0026lt;dependency\u0026gt; \u0026lt;groupId\u0026gt;org.apache.flink\u0026lt;/groupId\u0026gt; \u0026lt;artifactId\u0026gt;flink-connector-base\u0026lt;/artifactId\u0026gt; \u0026lt;version\u0026gt;\${flink.version}\u0026lt;/version\u0026gt; \u0026lt;/dependency\u0026gt; The Public Interfaces of AsyncSinkBase # Generic Types # \u0026lt;InputT\u0026gt; – type of elements in a DataStream that should be passed to the sink
-\u0026lt;RequestEntryT\u0026gt; – type of a payload containing the element and additional metadata that is required to submit a single element to the destination
+&lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.flink&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;flink-connector-base&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;\${flink.version}&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; The Public Interfaces of AsyncSinkBase # Generic Types # &lt;InputT&gt; – type of elements in a DataStream that should be passed to the sink
+&lt;RequestEntryT&gt; – type of a payload containing the element and additional metadata that is required to submit a single element to the destination
 Element Converter Interface # ElementConverter
-public interface ElementConverter\u0026lt;InputT, RequestEntryT\u0026gt; extends Serializable { RequestEntryT apply(InputT element, SinkWriter.Context context); } The concrete sink implementation should provide a way to convert from an element in the DataStream to the payload type that contains all the additional metadata required to submit that element to the destination by the sink. Ideally, this would be encapsulated from the end user since it allows concrete sink implementers to adapt to changes in the destination API without breaking end user code.

Ideally, this would be encapsulated from the end user since it allows concrete sink implementers to adapt to changes in the destination API without breaking end user code.
 Sink Writer Interface # AsyncSinkWriter
-There is a buffer in the sink writer that holds the request entries that have been sent to the sink but not yet written to the destination. An element of the buffer is a RequestEntryWrapper\u0026lt;RequestEntryT\u0026gt; consisting of the RequestEntryT along with the size of that record.
-public abstract class AsyncSinkWriter\u0026lt;InputT, RequestEntryT extends Serializable\u0026gt; implements StatefulSink.StatefulSinkWriter\u0026lt;InputT, BufferedRequestState\u0026lt;RequestEntryT\u0026gt;\u0026gt; { // ... protected abstract void submitRequestEntries( List\u0026lt;RequestEntryT\u0026gt; requestEntries, Consumer\u0026lt;List\u0026lt;RequestEntryT\u0026gt;\u0026gt; requestResult); // ... } We will submit the requestEntries asynchronously to the destination from here. Sink implementers should use the client libraries of the destination they intend to write to, to perform this.

Sink implementers should use the client libraries of the destination they intend to write to, to perform this.
 Should any elements fail to be persisted, they will be requeued back in the buffer for retry using requestResult.accept(...list of failed entries...). However, retrying any element that is known to be faulty and consistently failing, will result in that element being requeued forever, therefore a sensible strategy for determining what should be retried is highly recommended. If no errors were returned, we must indicate this with requestResult.accept(Collections.emptyList()).
 If at any point, it is determined that a fatal error has occurred and that we should throw a runtime exception from the sink, we can call getFatalExceptionCons().accept(...); from anywhere in the concrete sink writer.
-public abstract class AsyncSinkWriter\u0026lt;InputT, RequestEntryT extends Serializable\u0026gt; implements StatefulSink.StatefulSinkWriter\u0026lt;InputT, BufferedRequestState\u0026lt;RequestEntryT\u0026gt;\u0026gt; { // ... protected abstract long getSizeInBytes(RequestEntryT requestEntry); // ... } The async sink has a concept of size of elements in the buffer. This allows users to specify a byte size threshold beyond which elements will be flushed. However the sink implementer is best positioned to determine what the most sensible measure of size for each RequestEntryT is. If there is no way to determine the size of a record, then the value 0 may be returned, and the sink will not flush based on record size triggers.

Any elements that were previously removed from the buffer are guaranteed to be persisted in the destination by a preceding call to AsyncWriter#flush(true). You may want to save additional state from the concrete sink. You can achieve this by overriding snapshotState, and restoring from the saved state in the constructor. You will receive the saved state by overriding restoreWriter in your concrete sink. In this method, you should construct a sink writer, passing in the recovered state.

 At the time of writing, the Kinesis Data Streams sink and Kinesis Data Firehose sink are using this base sink.
 Metrics # There are three metrics that automatically exist when you implement sinks (and, thus, should not be implemented by yourself).
 CurrentSendTime Gauge - returns the amount of time in milliseconds it took for the most recent request to write records to complete, whether successful or not. NumBytesOut Counter - counts the total number of bytes the sink has tried to write to the destination, using the method getSizeInBytes to determine the size of each record. This will double count failures that may need to be retried. NumRecordsOut Counter - similar to above, this counts the total number of records the sink has tried to write to the destination. This will double count failures that may need to be retried. Sink Behavior # There are six sink configuration settings that control the buffering, flushing, and retry behavior of the sink.
 int maxBatchSize - maximum number of elements that may be passed in the list to submitRequestEntries to be written downstream. int maxInFlightRequests - maximum number of uncompleted calls to submitRequestEntries that the SinkWriter will allow at any given point. Once this point has reached, writes and callbacks to add elements to the buffer may block until one or more requests to submitRequestEntries completes. int maxBufferedRequests - maximum buffer length. Callbacks to add elements to the buffer and calls to write will block if this length has been reached and will only unblock if elements from the buffer have been removed for flushing. long maxBatchSizeInBytes - a flush will be attempted if the most recent call to write introduces an element to the buffer such that the total size of the buffer is greater than or equal to this threshold value. long maxTimeInBufferMS - maximum amount of time an element may remain in the buffer. In most cases elements are flushed as a result of the batch size (in bytes or number) being reached or during a snapshot. However, there are scenarios where an element may remain in the buffer forever or a long period of time. To mitigate this, a timer is constantly active in the buffer such that: while the buffer is not empty, it will flush every maxTimeInBufferMS milliseconds. long maxRecordSizeInBytes - maximum size in bytes allowed for a single record, as determined by getSizeInBytes(). Destinations typically have a defined throughput limit and will begin throttling or rejecting requests once near. We employ Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) as a strategy for selecting the optimal batch size.
 Summary # The AsyncSinkBase is a new abstraction that makes creating and maintaining async sinks easier. This will be available in Flink 1.15 and we hope that you will try it out and give us feedback on it.

 Fig.1 Flink 1.15 Scala 3 Example This blog will discuss what has historically made supporting multiple Scala versions so complex, how we achieved this milestone, and the future of Scala in Apache Flink.
-TLDR: All Scala dependencies are now isolated to the flink-scala jar. To remove Scala from the user-code classpath, remove this jar from the lib directory of the Flink distribution. $ rm flink-dist/lib/flink-scala* The Classpath and Scala # If you have worked with a JVM-based application, you have probably heard the term classpath. The classpath defines where the JVM will search for a given classfile when it needs to be loaded. There may only be one instance of a classfile on each classpath, forcing any dependency Flink exposes onto users. That is why the Flink community works hard to keep our classpath \u0026ldquo;clean\u0026rdquo; - or free of unnecessary dependencies. We achieve this through a combination of shaded dependencies, child first class loading, and a plugins abstraction for optional components.

 The Apache Flink runtime is primarily written in Java but contains critical components that forced Scala on the default classpath. And because Scala does not maintain binary compatibility across minor releases, this historically required cross-building components for all versions of Scala. But due to many reasons - breaking changes in the compiler, a new standard library, and a reworked macro system - this was easier said than done.
 Hiding Scala # As mentioned above, Flink uses Scala in a few key components; Mesos integration, the serialization stack, RPC, and the table planner. Instead of removing these dependencies or finding ways to cross-build them, the community hid Scala. It still exists in the codebase but no longer leaks into the user code classloader.
 In 1.14, we took our first steps in hiding Scala from our users. We dropped the support for Apache Mesos, partially implemented in Scala, which Kubernetes very much eclipsed in terms of adoption. Next, we isolated our RPC system into a dedicated classloader, including Akka. With these changes, the runtime itself no longer relied on Scala (hence why flink-runtime lost its Scala suffix), but Scala was still ever-present in the API layer.

 The Future of Scala in Apache Flink # While most of these changes happened behind the scenes, they resulted in one very user-facing change: removing many scala suffixes. You can find a list of all dependencies that lost their Scala suffix at the end of this post12.
 Additionally, changes to the Table API required several changes to the packaging and the distribution, which some power users relying on the planner internals might need to adapt to3.
 Going forward, Flink will continue to support Scala packages for the DataStream and Table APIs compiled against Scala 2.12 while the Java API is now unlocked for users to leverage components from any Scala version. We are already seeing new Scala 3 wrappers pop up in the community are excited to see how users leverage these tools in their streaming pipelines456!

 In 2017, the Pravega Flink connector module started to move out of the Pravega main repository and has been maintained in a new separate repository since then. During years of development, many features have been implemented, including:
-exactly-once processing guarantees for both Reader and Writer, supporting end-to-end exactly-once processing pipelines seamless integration with Flink\u0026rsquo;s checkpoints and savepoints parallel Readers and Writers supporting high throughput and low latency processing support for Batch, Streaming, and Table API to access Pravega Streams These key features make streaming pipeline applications easier to develop without worrying about performance and correctness which are the common pain points for many streaming use cases.

 In this blog post, we will discuss how to use this connector to read and write Pravega streams with the Flink DataStream API.

 1.13 is the Flink major version which is put in the middle of the artifact name. The Pravega Flink connector maintains compatibility for the three most recent major versions of Flink.
 0.10.1 is the version that aligns with the Pravega version.
 You can find the latest release with a support matrix on the GitHub Releases page.
 API introduction # Configurations # The connector provides a common top-level object PravegaConfig for Pravega connection configurations. The config object automatically configures itself from environment variables, system properties and program arguments.
 The basic controller URI and the default scope can be set like this:
 Setting Environment Variable /System Property /Program Argument Default Value Controller URI PRAVEGA_CONTROLLER_URIpravega.controller.uri--controller tcp://localhost:9090 Default Scope PRAVEGA_SCOPEpravega.scope--scope - The recommended way to create an instance of PravegaConfig is the following:
-// From default environment PravegaConfig config = PravegaConfig.fromDefaults(); // From program arguments ParameterTool params = ParameterTool.fromArgs(args); PravegaConfig config = PravegaConfig.fromParams(params); // From user specification PravegaConfig config = PravegaConfig.fromDefaults() .withControllerURI(\u0026#34;tcp://...\u0026#34;) .withDefaultScope(\u0026#34;SCOPE-NAME\u0026#34;) .withCredentials(credentials) .withHostnameValidation(false); Serialization/Deserialization # Pravega has defined io.pravega.client.stream.Serializer for the serialization/deserialization, while Flink has also defined standard interfaces for the purpose.

 org.apache.flink.api.common.serialization.SerializationSchema org.apache.flink.api.common.serialization.DeserializationSchema For interoperability with other pravega client applications, we have built-in adapters PravegaSerializationSchema and PravegaDeserializationSchema to support processing Pravega stream data produced by a non-Flink application.
 Here is the adapter for Pravega Java serializer:
-import io.pravega.client.stream.impl.JavaSerializer; ... DeserializationSchema\u0026lt;MyEvent\u0026gt; adapter = new PravegaDeserializationSchema\u0026lt;\u0026gt;( MyEvent.class, new JavaSerializer\u0026lt;MyEvent\u0026gt;()); FlinkPravegaReader # FlinkPravegaReader is a Flink SourceFunction implementation which supports parallel reads from one or more Pravega streams. Internally, it initiates a Pravega reader group and creates Pravega EventStreamReader instances to read the data from the stream(s). It provides a builder-style API to construct, and can allow streamcuts to mark the start and end of the read.

DeserializationSchema&lt;MyEvent&gt; adapter = new PravegaDeserializationSchema&lt;&gt;( MyEvent.class, new JavaSerializer&lt;MyEvent&gt;()); FlinkPravegaReader # FlinkPravegaReader is a Flink SourceFunction implementation which supports parallel reads from one or more Pravega streams. Internally, it initiates a Pravega reader group and creates Pravega EventStreamReader instances to read the data from the stream(s). It provides a builder-style API to construct, and can allow streamcuts to mark the start and end of the read.
 You can use it like this:
-final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); // Enable Flink checkpoint to make state fault tolerant env.enableCheckpointing(60000); // Define the Pravega configuration ParameterTool params = ParameterTool.fromArgs(args); PravegaConfig config = PravegaConfig.fromParams(params); // Define the event deserializer DeserializationSchema\u0026lt;MyClass\u0026gt; deserializer = ... // Define the data stream FlinkPravegaReader\u0026lt;MyClass\u0026gt; pravegaSource = FlinkPravegaReader.\u0026lt;MyClass\u0026gt;builder() .forStream(...) .withPravegaConfig(config) .withDeserializationSchema(deserializer) .build(); DataStream\u0026lt;MyClass\u0026gt; stream = env.addSource(pravegaSource) .setParallelism(4) .uid(\u0026#34;pravega-source\u0026#34;); FlinkPravegaWriter # FlinkPravegaWriter is a Flink SinkFunction implementation which supports parallel writes to Pravega streams.
+final StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); // Enable Flink checkpoint to make state fault tolerant env.enableCheckpointing(60000); // Define the Pravega configuration ParameterTool params = ParameterTool.fromArgs(args); PravegaConfig config = PravegaConfig.fromParams(params); // Define the event deserializer DeserializationSchema&lt;MyClass&gt; deserializer = ... // Define the data stream FlinkPravegaReader&lt;MyClass&gt; pravegaSource = FlinkPravegaReader.&lt;MyClass&gt;builder() .forStream(...) .withPravegaConfig(config) .withDeserializationSchema(deserializer) .build(); DataStream&lt;MyClass&gt; stream = env.addSource(pravegaSource) .setParallelism(4) .uid(&#34;pravega-source&#34;); FlinkPravegaWriter # FlinkPravegaWriter is a Flink SinkFunction implementation which supports parallel writes to Pravega streams.
 It supports three writer modes that relate to guarantees about the persistence of events emitted by the sink to a Pravega Stream:
 Best-effort - Any write failures will be ignored and there could be data loss. At-least-once(default) - All events are persisted in Pravega. Duplicate events are possible, due to retries or in case of failure and subsequent recovery. Exactly-once - All events are persisted in Pravega using a transactional approach integrated with the Flink checkpointing feature. Internally, it will initiate several Pravega EventStreamWriter or TransactionalEventStreamWriter (depends on the writer mode) instances to write data to the stream. It provides a builder-style API to construct.
 A basic usage looks like this:
-StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); // Define the Pravega configuration PravegaConfig config = PravegaConfig.fromParams(params); // Define the event serializer SerializationSchema\u0026lt;MyClass\u0026gt; serializer = ... // Define the event router for selecting the Routing Key PravegaEventRouter\u0026lt;MyClass\u0026gt; router = ... // Define the sink function FlinkPravegaWriter\u0026lt;MyClass\u0026gt; pravegaSink = FlinkPravegaWriter.\u0026lt;MyClass\u0026gt;builder() .forStream(...) .withPravegaConfig(config) .withSerializationSchema(serializer) .withEventRouter(router) .withWriterMode(EXACTLY_ONCE) .build(); DataStream\u0026lt;MyClass\u0026gt; stream = ... stream.addSink(pravegaSink) .setParallelism(4) .uid(\u0026#34;pravega-sink\u0026#34;); You can see some more examples here.
+StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); // Define the Pravega configuration PravegaConfig config = PravegaConfig.fromParams(params); // Define the event serializer SerializationSchema&lt;MyClass&gt; serializer = ... // Define the event router for selecting the Routing Key PravegaEventRouter&lt;MyClass&gt; router = ... // Define the sink function FlinkPravegaWriter&lt;MyClass&gt; pravegaSink = FlinkPravegaWriter.&lt;MyClass&gt;builder() .forStream(...) .withPravegaConfig(config) .withSerializationSchema(serializer) .withEventRouter(router) .withWriterMode(EXACTLY_ONCE) .build(); DataStream&lt;MyClass&gt; stream = ... stream.addSink(pravegaSink) .setParallelism(4) .uid(&#34;pravega-sink&#34;); You can see some more examples here.
 Internals of reader and writer # Checkpoint integration # Flink has periodic checkpoints based on the Chandy-Lamport algorithm to make state in Flink fault-tolerant. By allowing state and the corresponding stream positions to be recovered, the application is given the same semantics as a failure-free execution.
-Pravega also has its own Checkpoint concept which is to create a consistent \u0026ldquo;point in time\u0026rdquo; persistence of the state of each Reader in the Reader Group, by using a specialized Event (Checkpoint Event) to signal each Reader to preserve its state. Once a Checkpoint has been completed, the application can use the Checkpoint to reset all the Readers in the Reader Group to the known consistent state represented by the Checkpoint.

Once a Checkpoint has been completed, the application can use the Checkpoint to reset all the Readers in the Reader Group to the known consistent state represented by the Checkpoint.
 This means that our end-to-end recovery story is not like other messaging systems such as Kafka, which uses a more coupled method and persists its offset in the Flink task state and lets Flink do the coordination. Flink delegates the Pravega source recovery completely to the Pravega server and uses only a lightweight hook to connect. We collaborated with the Flink community and added a new interface ExternallyInducedSource (FLINK-6390) to allow such external calls for checkpointing. The connector integrated this interface to guarantee exactly-once semantics during a failure recovery.
 The checkpoint mechanism works as a two-step process:
-The master hook handler from the JobManager initiates the triggerCheckpoint request to the ReaderCheckpointHook that was registered with the JobManager during FlinkPravegaReader source initialization. The ReaderCheckpointHook handler notifies Pravega to checkpoint the current reader state. This is a non-blocking call that returns a future once Pravega readers are done with the checkpointing. Once the future completes, the Pravega checkpoint will be persisted in a \u0026ldquo;master state\u0026rdquo; of a Flink checkpoint.

The ReaderCheckpointHook handler notifies Pravega to checkpoint the current reader state. This is a non-blocking call that returns a future once Pravega readers are done with the checkpointing. Once the future completes, the Pravega checkpoint will be persisted in a &ldquo;master state&rdquo; of a Flink checkpoint.
 A Checkpoint event will be sent by Pravega as part of the data stream flow and, upon receiving the event, the FlinkPravegaReader will initiate a triggerCheckpoint request to effectively let Flink continue and complete the checkpoint process.
 End-to-end exactly-once semantics # In the early years of big data processing, results from real-time stream processing were always considered inaccurate/approximate/speculative. However, this correctness is extremely important for some use cases and in some industries such as finance.
 This constraint stems mainly from two issues:
 unordered data source in event time end-to-end exactly-once semantics guarantee During recent years of development, watermarking has been introduced as a tradeoff between correctness and latency, which is now considered a good solution for unordered data sources in event time.
-The guarantee of end-to-end exactly-once semantics is more tricky. When we say “exactly-once semantics”, what we mean is that each incoming event affects the final results exactly once. Even in the event of a machine or software failure, there is no duplicate data and no data that goes unprocessed. This is quite difficult because of the demands of message acknowledgment and recovery during such fast processing and is also why some early distributed streaming engines like Storm(without Trident) chose to support \u0026ldquo;at-least-once\u0026rdquo; guarantees.

This is quite difficult because of the demands of message acknowledgment and recovery during such fast processing and is also why some early distributed streaming engines like Storm(without Trident) chose to support &ldquo;at-least-once&rdquo; guarantees.
 Flink is one of the first streaming systems that was able to provide exactly-once semantics due to its delicate checkpoint mechanism. But to make it work end-to-end, the final stage needs to apply the semantic to external message system sinks that support commits and rollbacks.
-To work around this problem, Pravega introduced transactional writes. A Pravega transaction allows an application to prepare a set of events that can be written \u0026ldquo;all at once\u0026rdquo; to a Stream. This allows an application to \u0026ldquo;commit\u0026rdquo; a bunch of events atomically. When writes are idempotent, it is possible to implement end-to-end exactly-once pipelines together with Flink.

 To build such an end-to-end solution requires coordination between Flink and the Pravega sink, which is still challenging. A common approach for coordinating commits and rollbacks in a distributed system is the two-phase commit protocol. We used this protocol and, together with the Flink community, implemented the sink function in a two-phase commit way coordinated with Flink checkpoints.
 The Flink community then extracted the common logic from the two-phase commit protocol and provided a general interface TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction (FLINK-7210) to make it possible to build end-to-end exactly-once applications with other message systems that have transaction support. This includes Apache Kafka versions 0.11 and above. There is an official Flink blog post that describes this feature in detail.
 Summary # The Pravega Flink connector enables Pravega to connect to Flink and allows Pravega to act as a key data store in a streaming pipeline. Both projects share a common design philosophy and can integrate well with each other. Pravega has its own concept of checkpointing and has implemented transactional writes to support end-to-end exactly-once guarantees.
 Future plans # FlinkPravegaInputFormat and FlinkPravegaOutputFormat are now provided to support batch reads and writes in Flink, but these are under the legacy DataSet API. Since Flink is now making efforts to unify batch and streaming, it is improving its APIs and providing new interfaces for the source and sink APIs in the Flink 1.11 and 1.12 releases. We will continue to work with the Flink community and integrate with the new APIs.
 We will also put more effort into SQL / Table API support in order to provide a better user experience since it is simpler to understand and even more powerful to use in some cases.

Flink ML is a library that provides APIs and infrastructure for building stream-batch unified machine learning algorithms, that can be easy-to-use and performant with (near-) real-time latency.
 This release involves a major refactor of the earlier Flink ML library and introduces major features that extend the Flink ML API and the iteration runtime, such as supporting stages with multi-input multi-output, graph-based stage composition, and a new stream-batch unified iteration library. Moreover, we added five algorithm implementations in this release, which is the start of a long-term initiative to provide a large number of off-the-shelf algorithms in Flink ML with state-of-the-art performance.
 We believe this release is an important step towards extending Apache Flink to a wide range of machine learning use cases, especially the real-time machine learning scenarios.
 We encourage you to download the release and share your feedback with the community through the Flink mailing lists or JIRA! We hope you like the new release and we’d be eager to learn about your experience with it.

This could lead to heartbeat timeouts that trigger a failover. In the worst case, this will render the Flink cluster unusable because it cannot deploy the job.
+To improve the performance of the scheduler for large-scale jobs, we&rsquo;ve implemented several optimizations in Flink 1.13 and 1.14:
 Introduce the concept of consuming groups to optimize procedures related to the complexity of topologies, including the initialization, scheduling, failover, and partition release. This also reduces the memory required to store the topology; Introduce a cache to optimize task deployment, which makes the process faster and requires less memory; Leverage characteristics of the logical topology and the scheduling topology to speed up the building of pipelined regions. Benchmarking Results # To estimate the effect of our optimizations, we conducted several experiments to compare the performance of Flink 1.12 (before the optimization) with Flink 1.14 (after the optimization). The job in our experiments contains two vertices connected with an all-to-all edge. The parallelisms of these vertices are both 10K. To make temporary deployment descriptors distributed via the blob server, we set the configuration blob.offload.minsize to 100 KiB (from default value 1 MiB). This configuration means that the blobs larger than the set value will be distributed via the blob server, and the size of deployment descriptors in our test job is about 270 KiB. The results of our experiments are illustrated below:
 Table 1 - The comparison of time cost between Flink 1.12 and 1.14 Procedure 1.12 1.14 Reduction(%) Job Initialization 11,431ms 627ms 94.51% Task Deployment 63,118ms 17,183ms 72.78% Computing tasks to restart when failover 37,195ms 170ms 99.55% In addition to quicker speeds, the memory usage is significantly reduced. It requires 30 GiB heap memory for a JobManager to deploy the test job and keep it running stably with Flink 1.12, while the minimum heap memory required by the JobManager with Flink 1.14 is only 2 GiB. There are also less occurrences of long-term garbage collection. When running the test job with Flink 1.12, a garbage collection that lasts more than 10 seconds occurs during both job initialization and task deployment. With Flink 1.14, since there is no long-term garbage collection, there is also a decreased risk of heartbeat timeouts, which creates better cluster stability.
 In our experiment, it took more than 4 minutes for the large-scale job with Flink 1.12 to transition to running (excluding the time spent on allocating resources). With Flink 1.14, it took no more than 30 seconds (excluding the time spent on allocating resources). The time cost is reduced by 87%. Thus, for users who are running large-scale jobs for production and want better scheduling performance, please consider upgrading Flink to 1.14.
 In part two of this blog post, we are going to talk about these improvements in detail.

 Reducing complexity with groups # A distribution pattern describes how consumer tasks are connected to producer tasks. Currently, there are two distribution patterns in Flink: pointwise and all-to-all. When the distribution pattern is pointwise between two vertices, the computational complexity of traversing all edges is O(n). When the distribution pattern is all-to-all, the complexity of traversing all edges is O(n2), which means that complexity increases rapidly when the scale goes up.
 Fig. 1 - Two distribution patterns in Flink In Flink 1.12, the ExecutionEdge class is used to store the information of connections between tasks. This means that for the all-to-all distribution pattern, there would be O(n2) ExecutionEdges, which would take up a lot of memory for large-scale jobs. For two JobVertices connected with an all-to-all edge and a parallelism of 10K, it would take more than 4 GiB memory to store 100M ExecutionEdges. Since there can be multiple all-to-all connections between vertices in production jobs, the amount of memory required would increase rapidly.
 As we can see in Fig. 1, for two JobVertices connected with the all-to-all distribution pattern, all IntermediateResultPartitions produced by upstream ExecutionVertices are isomorphic, which means that the downstream ExecutionVertices they connect to are exactly the same. The downstream ExecutionVertices belonging to the same JobVertex are also isomorphic, as the upstream IntermediateResultPartitions they connect to are the same too. Since every JobEdge has exactly one distribution type, we can divide vertices and result partitions into groups according to the distribution type of the JobEdge.

 For the example job we mentioned above, replacing ExecutionEdges with the groups can effectively reduce the memory usage of ExecutionGraph from more than 4 GiB to about 12 MiB. Based on the concept of groups, we further optimized several procedures, including job initialization, scheduling tasks, failover, and partition releasing. These procedures are all involved with traversing all consumer vertices for all the partitions. After the optimization, their overall computational complexity decreases from O(n2) to O(n).
 Optimizations related to task deployment # The problem # In Flink 1.12, it takes a long time to deploy tasks for large-scale jobs if they contain all-to-all edges. Furthermore, a heartbeat timeout may happen during or after task deployment, which makes the cluster unstable.
 Currently, task deployment includes the following steps:
-A JobManager creates TaskDeploymentDescriptors for each task, which happens in the JobManager\u0026rsquo;s main thread; The JobManager serializes TaskDeploymentDescriptors asynchronously; The JobManager ships serialized TaskDeploymentDescriptors to TaskManagers via RPC messages; TaskManagers create new tasks based on the TaskDeploymentDescriptors and execute them. A TaskDeploymentDescriptor (TDD) contains all the information required by TaskManagers to create a task. At the beginning of task deployment, a JobManager creates the TDDs for all tasks. Since this happens in the main thread, the JobManager cannot respond to any other requests. For large-scale jobs, the main thread may get blocked for a long time, heartbeat timeouts may happen, and a failover would be triggered.
+A JobManager creates TaskDeploymentDescriptors for each task, which happens in the JobManager&rsquo;s main thread; The JobManager serializes TaskDeploymentDescriptors asynchronously; The JobManager ships serialized TaskDeploymentDescriptors to TaskManagers via RPC messages; TaskManagers create new tasks based on the TaskDeploymentDescriptors and execute them. A TaskDeploymentDescriptor (TDD) contains all the information required by TaskManagers to create a task. At the beginning of task deployment, a JobManager creates the TDDs for all tasks. Since this happens in the main thread, the JobManager cannot respond to any other requests. For large-scale jobs, the main thread may get blocked for a long time, heartbeat timeouts may happen, and a failover would be triggered.
 A JobManager can become a bottleneck during task deployment since all descriptors are transmitted from it to all TaskManagers. For large-scale jobs, these temporary descriptors would require a lot of heap memory and cause frequent long-term garbage collection pauses.
 Thus, we need to speed up the creation of the TDDs. Furthermore, if the size of descriptors can be reduced, then they will be transmitted faster, which leads to faster task deployments.
 The solution # Cache ShuffleDescriptors # ShuffleDescriptors are used to describe the information of result partitions that a task consumes and can be the largest part of a TaskDeploymentDescriptor. For an all-to-all edge, when the parallelisms of both upstream and downstream vertices are n, the number of ShuffleDescriptors for each downstream vertex is n, since they are connected to n upstream vertices. Thus, the total count of the ShuffleDescriptors for the vertices is n2.
-However, the ShuffleDescriptors for the downstream vertices are all the same since they all consume the same upstream result partitions. Therefore, Flink doesn\u0026rsquo;t need to create ShuffleDescriptors for each downstream vertex individually. Instead, it can create them once and cache them to be reused. This will decrease the overall complexity of creating TaskDeploymentDescriptors for tasks from O(n2) to O(n).
+However, the ShuffleDescriptors for the downstream vertices are all the same since they all consume the same upstream result partitions. Therefore, Flink doesn&rsquo;t need to create ShuffleDescriptors for each downstream vertex individually. Instead, it can create them once and cache them to be reused. This will decrease the overall complexity of creating TaskDeploymentDescriptors for tasks from O(n2) to O(n).
 To decrease the size of RPC messages and reduce the transmission of replicated data over the network, the cached ShuffleDescriptors can be compressed. For the example job we mentioned above, if the parallelisms of vertices are both 10k, then each downstream vertex has 10k ShuffleDescriptors. After compression, the size of the serialized value would be reduced by 72%.
 Distribute ShuffleDescriptors via the blob server # A blob (binary large objects) is a collection of binary data used to store large files. Flink hosts a blob server to transport large-sized data between the JobManager and TaskManagers. When a JobManager decides to transmit a large file to TaskManagers, it would first store the file in the blob server (will also upload files to the distributed file system) and get a token representing the blob, called the blob key. It would then transmit the blob key instead of the blob file to TaskManagers. When TaskManagers get the blob key, they will retrieve the file from the distributed file system (DFS). The blobs are stored in the blob cache on TaskManagers so that they only need to retrieve the file once.
 During task deployment, the JobManager is responsible for distributing the ShuffleDescriptors to TaskManagers via RPC messages. The messages will be garbage collected once they are sent. However, if the JobManager cannot send the messages as fast as they are created, these messages would take up a lot of space in heap memory and become a heavy burden for the garbage collector to deal with. There will be more long-term garbage collections that stop the world and slow down the task deployment.
-To solve this problem, the blob server can be used to distribute large ShuffleDescriptors. The JobManager first sends ShuffleDescriptors to the blob server, which stores ShuffleDescriptors in the DFS. TaskManagers request ShuffleDescriptors from the DFS once they begin to process TaskDeploymentDescriptors. With this change, the JobManager doesn\u0026rsquo;t need to keep all the copies of ShuffleDescriptors in heap memory until they are sent. Moreover, the frequency of garbage collections for large-scale jobs is significantly reduced. Also, task deployment will be faster since there will be no bottleneck during task deployment anymore, because the DFS provides multiple distributed nodes for TaskManagers to download the ShuffleDescriptors from.
-Fig. 3 - How ShuffleDescriptors are distributed To avoid running out of space on the local disk, the cache will be cleared when the related partitions are no longer valid and a size limit is added for ShuffleDescriptors in the blob cache on TaskManagers. If the overall size exceeds the limit, the least recently used cached value will be removed. This ensures that the local disks on the JobManager and TaskManagers won\u0026rsquo;t be filled up with ShuffleDescriptors, especially in session mode.

 Optimizations when building pipelined regions # In Flink, there are two types of data exchanges: pipelined and blocking. When using blocking data exchanges, result partitions are first fully produced and then consumed by the downstream vertices. The produced results are persisted and can be consumed multiple times. When using pipelined data exchanges, result partitions are produced and consumed concurrently. The produced results are not persisted and can be consumed only once.
 Since the pipelined data stream is produced and consumed simultaneously, Flink needs to make sure that the vertices connected via pipelined data exchanges execute at the same time. These vertices form a pipelined region. The pipelined region is the basic unit of scheduling and failover by default. During scheduling, all vertices in a pipelined region will be scheduled together, and all pipelined regions in the graph will be scheduled one by one topologically.
 Fig. 4 - The LogicalPipelinedRegion and the SchedulingPipelinedRegion Currently, there are two types of pipelined regions in the scheduler: LogicalPipelinedRegion and SchedulingPipelinedRegion. The LogicalPipelinedRegion denotes the pipelined regions on the logical level. It consists of JobVertices and forms the JobGraph. The SchedulingPipelinedRegion denotes the pipelined regions on the execution level. It consists of ExecutionVertices and forms the ExecutionGraph. Like ExecutionVertices are derived from a JobVertex, SchedulingPipelinedRegions are derived from a LogicalPipelinedRegion, as Fig. 4 shows.
-During the construction of pipelined regions, a problem arises: There may be cyclic dependencies between pipelined regions. A pipelined region can be scheduled if and only if all its dependencies have finished. However, if there are two pipelined regions with cyclic dependencies between each other, there will be a scheduling deadlock. They are both waiting for the other one to be scheduled first, and none of them can be scheduled. Therefore, Tarjan\u0026rsquo;s strongly connected components algorithm is adopted to discover the cyclic dependencies between regions and merge them into one pipelined region. It will traverse all the edges in the topology. For the all-to-all distribution pattern, the number of edges is O(n2). Thus, the computational complexity of this algorithm is O(n2), and it significantly slows down the initialization of the scheduler.

Thus, the computational complexity of this algorithm is O(n2), and it significantly slows down the initialization of the scheduler.
 Fig. 5 - The topology with scheduling deadlock To speed up the construction of pipelined regions, the relevance between the logical topology and the scheduling topology can be leveraged. Since a SchedulingPipelinedRegion is derived from just one LogicalPipelinedRegion, Flink traverses all LogicalPipelinedRegions and converts them into SchedulingPipelinedRegions one by one. The conversion varies based on the distribution patterns of edges that connect vertices in the LogicalPipelinedRegion.
-If there are any all-to-all distribution patterns inside the region, the entire region can just be converted into one SchedulingPipelinedRegion directly. That\u0026rsquo;s because for the all-to-all edge with the pipelined data exchange, all the regions connected to this edge must execute simultaneously, which means they are merged into one region. For the all-to-all edge with a blocking data exchange, it will introduce cyclic dependencies, as Fig. 5 shows. All the regions it connects must be merged into one region to avoid scheduling deadlock, as Fig. 6 shows. Since there\u0026rsquo;s no need to use Tarjan\u0026rsquo;s algorithm, the computational complexity in this case is O(n).
-If there are only pointwise distribution patterns inside a region, Tarjan\u0026rsquo;s strongly connected components algorithm is still used to ensure no cyclic dependencies. Since there are only pointwise distribution patterns, the number of edges in the topology is O(n), and the computational complexity of the algorithm will be O(n).

 Fig. 6 - How to convert a LogicalPipelinedRegion to ScheduledPipelinedRegions After the optimization, the overall computational complexity of building pipelined regions decreases from O(n2) to O(n). In our experiments, for the job which contains two vertices connected with a blocking all-to-all edge, when their parallelisms are both 10K, the time of building pipelined regions decreases by 99%, from 8,257 ms to 120 ms.

+The overall sentiment seems to be quite good. A ship crushed a robot two times, someone felt sick towards the end, an octopus causing negative emotions appeared in June&hellip;
 We looked at the origin of these emotions and analyzed what went well and what could be improved. We also incorporated some feedback gathered from the community.
 Problems faced # No release is perfect, and the community is constantly looking to improve.
 Apache Flink has active contributors from around the globe, many of whom do not speak English as a first language. The community is still ironing out processes for delivering high-quality documentation and blog posts from a content perspective. It is a work in progress but we have contributors focusing on this component.
 Each Flink release is built with the help of hundreds of contributors, each working on different parts of the project. Changes to one module may affect others in ways that are not always obvious. To maintain quality, the community supports an expansive test suite. Invariably, some tests are found to be flaky. Whenever we discover a test issue, the community opens a blocker issue that we must resolve before the next release. In practice, this leads to contributors triaging most test instabilities towards the end of each release cycle. From now on, we want to be more mindful of these failures and prioritize them when discovered.
 Finally, the community pushed the planned feature freeze for 1.14 by two weeks. Two weeks is an improvement from previous release cycles, but we hope to continue improving this metric for 1.15.
 Things enjoyed # The implementation of some features, such as buffer debloating and fine-grained resource management, went smoothly. Though a few issues are now popping up as people begin using them in production, it is satisfying to see an engineering effort go according to plan.
-We also said goodbye to some components, the old table planner and integrated Mesos support. As any developer will tell you, there\u0026rsquo;s nothing better than deleting old code and reducing complexity.
+We also said goodbye to some components, the old table planner and integrated Mesos support. As any developer will tell you, there&rsquo;s nothing better than deleting old code and reducing complexity.
 What we want to achieve through process changes # Transparency - let the community participate # When approaching a release, usually a couple of weeks after the previous release has been done, we set up bi-weekly meetings for the community to discuss any issues regarding the release. The usefulness of those meetings varied a lot, and so we started to track the efforts in the Apache Flink Confluence wiki.
 We came up with a system to label the current states of each feature: “independent”, “won’t make it”, “very unlikely”, “will make it”, “done”, and “done done”. We introduced the “done done” state since we lacked a shared understanding of the definition of done. To qualify for “done done”, the feature is manually tested by someone not involved in the implementation. Additionally, there must exist comprehensive documentation that enables users to use the feature.
 After each meeting, we provided updates on the mailing list and created a corresponding burn-down chart. Those efforts have well been received by our contributors, although they might still require some improvements.
 The meeting used to only be for those driving the primary efforts, but we opened it up to the whole community for this release. While nobody ended up joining, we will continue to make the meetings open to everyone.
 Stability - reduce building and testing pain # At one point, as we were coming close to the feature freeze, the stability of the master branch became quite unstable. Although we have encountered this issue in the past, building and testing Flink under such conditions was not ideal.
 As a result, we focused on reducing stability issues, and the release managers have tried to organize and manage this effort. In future development cycles, the whole community needs to focus on the stability of the master branch. There are already improvements in the making, and they will hopefully enhance the experience of contributing significantly.
-Documentation - make it user-friendly # Coming back to Apache traditions, most of the documentation (if any) was still being pushed after the feature freeze. As mentioned before, documentation is required to achieve the level of \u0026ldquo;done done\u0026rdquo;. Going forward, we will keep more of an eye on pushing documentation earlier in the development process. Apache Flink is an amazing piece of software that can solve so many problems, but we can do so much more in improving the user experience and introducing it to a wider audience.

 API consistency - a timeless, joyful experience # The issue of API consistency was not caused by the 1.14 release, but popped up during the development cycle nevertheless, including a bigger discussion on the mailing list. While we tried to be transparent about the stability guarantees of an API (there are no guarantees across major versions), this was not made very clear or easy to find. Since many users rely on PublicEvolving APIs (due to a lack of Public API additions), this resulted in problems for downstream projects.
 Moving forward, we will document more clearly what the guarantees are and introduce a process for promoting PublicEvolving APIs. This might involve generating a report on any removed/modified PublicEvolving APIs during the release cycle so that downstream projects can prepare for the changes.

 How data gets passed around between operators # Data shuffling is an important stage in batch processing applications and describes how data is sent from one operator to the next. In this phase, output data of the upstream operator will spill over to persistent storages like disk, then the downstream operator will read the corresponding data and process it. Blocking shuffle means that intermediate results from operator A are not sent immediately to operator B until operator A has completely finished.
 The hash-based and sort-based blocking shuffle are two main blocking shuffle implementations widely adopted by existing distributed data processing frameworks:
 Hash-Based Approach: The core idea behind the hash-based approach is to write data consumed by different consumer tasks to different files and each file can then serve as a natural boundary for the partitioned data. Sort-Based Approach: The core idea behind the sort-based approach is to write all the produced data together first and then leverage sorting to cluster data belonging to different data partitions or even keys. The sort-based blocking shuffle was introduced in Flink 1.12 and further optimized and made production-ready in 1.13 for both stability and performance. We hope you enjoy the improvements and any feedback is highly appreciated.

Increasing the value of this option may improve the shuffle read performance, and usually, several hundreds of megabytes of memory is enough for large-scale batch jobs. Because this memory is cut from the framework off-heap memory, you may also need to increase taskmanager.memory.framework.off-heap.size before you increase this value.
 For more information about blocking shuffle in Flink, please refer to the official documentation.
 Note: From the optimization mechanism in part two, we can see that the IO scheduling relies on the concurrent data read requests of the downstream consumer tasks for more sequential reads. As a result, if the downstream consumer task is running one by one (for example, because of limited resources), the advantage brought by IO scheduling disappears, which can influence performance. We may further optimize this scenario in future versions.

 Like sort-merge shuffle implemented by other distributed data processing frameworks, the whole sort-based shuffle process in Flink consists of several important stages, including collecting data in memory, sorting the collected data in memory, spilling the sorted data to files, and reading the shuffle data from these spilled files. However, Flink’s implementation has some core differences, including the multiple data region file structure, the removal of file merge, and IO scheduling.
 In part two of this blog post, we will give you insight into some core design considerations and implementation details of the sort-based blocking shuffle in Flink and list several ideas for future improvement.
 Design considerations # There are several core objectives we want to achieve for the new sort-based blocking shuffle to be implemented Flink:
 Produce fewer (small) files # As discussed above, the hash-based blocking shuffle would produce too many small files for large-scale batch jobs. Producing fewer files can help to improve both stability and performance. The sort-merge approach has been widely adopted to solve this problem. By first writing to the in-memory buffer and then sorting and spilling the data into a file after the in-memory buffer is full, the number of output files can be reduced, which becomes (total data size) / (in-memory buffer size). Then by merging the produced files together, the number of files can be further reduced and larger data blocks can provide better sequential reads.
 Flink’s sort-based blocking shuffle adopts a similar logic. A core difference is that data spilling will always append data to the same file so only one file will be spilled for each output, which means fewer files are produced.
-Open fewer files concurrently # The hash-based implementation will open all partition files when writing and reading data which will consume resources like file descriptors and native memory. Exhaustion of file descriptors will lead to stability issues like \u0026ldquo;too many open files\u0026rdquo;.
+Open fewer files concurrently # The hash-based implementation will open all partition files when writing and reading data which will consume resources like file descriptors and native memory. Exhaustion of file descriptors will lead to stability issues like &ldquo;too many open files&rdquo;.
 By always writing/reading only one file per data result partition and sharing the same opened file channel among all the concurrent data reads from the downstream consumer tasks, Flink’s sort-based blocking shuffle implementation can greatly reduce the number of concurrently opened files.
 Create more sequential disk IO # Although the hash-based implementation writes and reads each output file sequentially, the large amount of writing and reading can cause random IO because of the large number of files being processed concurrently, which means that reducing the number of files can also achieve more sequential IO.
 In addition to producing larger files, there are some other optimizations implemented by Flink. In the data writing phase, by merging small output data together into larger batches and writing through the writev system call, more writing sequential IO can be achieved. In the data reading phase, more sequential data reading IO is achieved by IO scheduling. In short, Flink tries to always read data in file offset order which maximizes sequential reads. Please refer to the IO scheduling section for more information.

 External/Remote Shuffle Service: Implementing an external/remote shuffle service can further improve the shuffle io performance because as a centralized service, it can collect more information leading to more optimized decisions. For example, further merging of data to the same downstream task, better node-level load balance, handling of stragglers, shared resources and so on.

 In Flink 1.14, we finally made it possible to mix bounded and unbounded streams in an application: Flink now supports taking checkpoints of applications that are partially running and partially finished (some operators reached the end of the bounded inputs). Additionally, bounded streams now take a final checkpoint when reaching their end to ensure smooth committing of results in sinks.
 The batch execution mode now supports programs that use a mixture of the DataStream API and the SQL/Table API (previously only pure Table/SQL or DataStream programs).
 The unified Source and Sink APIs have gotten an update, and we started consolidating the connector ecosystem around the unified APIs. We added a new hybrid source that can bridge between multiple storage systems. You can now do things like read old data from Amazon S3 and then switch over to Apache Kafka.
 In addition, this release furthers our initiative in making Flink more self-tuning and easier to operate, without necessarily requiring a lot of Stream-Processor-specific knowledge. We started this initiative in the previous release with reactive scaling and are now adding automatic network memory tuning (a.k.a. Buffer Debloating). This feature speeds up checkpoints under high load while maintaining high throughput and without increasing checkpoint size. The mechanism continuously adjusts the network buffers to ensure the best throughput while having minimal in-flight data. See the Buffer Debloating section for more details.
 There are many more improvements and new additions throughout various components, as we discuss below. We also had to say goodbye to some features that have been superceded by newer ones in recent releases, most prominently we are removing the old SQL execution engine and are removing the active integration with Apache Mesos.

-The Unified Batch and Stream Processing Experience # One of Flink\u0026rsquo;s unique characteristics is how it integrates stream- and batch processing, using unified APIs and a runtime that supports multiple execution paradigms.
-As motivated in the introduction, we believe that stream- and batch processing always go hand in hand. This quote from a report on Facebook\u0026rsquo;s streaming infrastructure echos this sentiment nicely.
-Streaming versus batch processing is not an either/or decision. Originally, all data warehouse processing at Facebook was batch processing. We began developing Puma and Swift about five years ago. As we showed in Section [\u0026hellip;], using a mix of streaming and batch processing can speed up long pipelines by hours.

 Having both the real-time and the historic computations in the same engine also ensures consistency between semantics and makes results well comparable. Here is an article by Alibaba about unifying business reporting with Apache Flink and getting consistent reports that way.
-While unified streaming \u0026amp; batch are already possible in earlier versions, this release brings some features that unlock new use cases, as well as a series of quality-of-life improvements.
-Checkpointing and Bounded Streams # Flink\u0026rsquo;s checkpointing mechanism could originally only create checkpoints when all tasks in an application\u0026rsquo;s DAG were running. This meant that applications using both bounded and unbounded data sources were not really possible. In addition, applications on bounded inputs that were executed in a streaming way (not in a batch way) stopped checkpointing towards the end of the processing, when some tasks finished. Without checkpoints, the latest output data was not committed, resulting in lingering data for exactly-once sinks.

 With FLIP-147 Flink now supports checkpoints after tasks are finished, and takes a final checkpoint at the end of a bounded stream, ensuring that all sink data is committed before the job ends (similar to how stop-with-savepoint behaves).
 To activate this feature, add execution.checkpointing.checkpoints-after-tasks-finish.enabled: true to your configuration. Keeping with the opt-in tradition for big and new features, this is not activated by default in Flink 1.14. We expect it to become the default mode in the next release.
 Background: While the batch execution mode is often the preferrable way to run applications over bounded streams, there are various reasons to use streaming execution mode over bounded streams. For example, the sink being used might only support streaming execution (i.e. Kafka sink) or you may want to exploit the streaming-inherent quasi-ordering-by-time in your application, such as motivated by the Kappa+ Architecture.
-Batch Execution for mixed DataStream and Table/SQL Applications # SQL and the Table API are becoming the default starting points for new projects.

 At that point, the natural step is to blend in a piece of stateful DataStream API logic, before switching back to SQL again.
 In Flink 1.14, bounded batch-executed SQL/Table programs can convert their intermediate Tables to a DataStream, apply some DataSteam API operations, and convert it back to a Table. Under the hood, Flink builds a dataflow DAG mixing declarative optimized SQL execution with batch-executed DataStream logic. Check out the documentation for details.

 Improvements to Operations # Buffer debloating # Buffer Debloating is a new technology in Flink that minimizes checkpoint latency and cost. It does so by automatically tuning the usage of network memory to ensure high throughput, while minimizing the amount of in-flight data.
 Apache Flink buffers a certain amount of data in its network stack to be able to utilize the bandwidth of fast networks. A Flink application running with high throughput uses some (or all) of that memory. Aligned checkpoints flow with the data through the network buffers in milliseconds.
-During (temporary) backpressure from a resource bottleneck such as an external system, data skew, or (temporarily) increased load, Flink was buffering a lot more data inside its network buffers than necessary to utilize enough network bandwidth for the application\u0026rsquo;s current – backpressured – throughput. This actually has an adverse effect because more buffered data means that the checkpoints need to do more work. Aligned checkpoint barriers need to wait for more data to be processed, unaligned checkpoints need to persist more in-flight data.

This actually has an adverse effect because more buffered data means that the checkpoints need to do more work. Aligned checkpoint barriers need to wait for more data to be processed, unaligned checkpoints need to persist more in-flight data.
 This is where Buffer Debloating comes into play: It changes the network stack from keeping up to X bytes of data to keeping data that is worth X milliseconds of receiver computing time. With the default setting of 1000 milliseconds, that means the network stack will buffer as much data as the receiving task can process in 1000 milliseconds. These values are constantly measured and adjusted, so the system keeps this characteristic even under varying conditions. As a result, Flink can now provide stable and predictable alignment times for aligned checkpoints under backpressure, and can vastly reduce the amount of in-flight data stored in unaliged checkpoints under backpressure.
 Buffer Debloating acts as a complementary feature, or even alternative, to unaligned checkpoints. Checkout the documentation to see how to activate this feature.
 Fine-grained Resource Management # Fine-grained resource management is an advanced new feature that increases the resource utilization of large shared clusters.
-Flink clusters execute various data processing workloads. Different data processing steps typically need different resources such as compute resources and memory. For example, most map() functions are fairly lightweight, but large windows with long retention can benefit from lots of memory. By default, Flink manages resources in coarse-grained units called slots, which are slices of a TaskManager\u0026rsquo;s resources. Streaming pipelines fill a slot with one parallel subtask of each operator, so each slot holds a pipeline of subtasks. Through \u0026lsquo;slot sharing groups\u0026rsquo;, users can influence how subtasks are assigned to slots.
-With fine-grained resource management, TaskManager slots can now be dynamically sized. Transformations and operators specify what resource profiles they would like (CPU size, memory pools, disk space) and Flink\u0026rsquo;s Resource Manager and TaskManagers slice off that specific part of a TaskManager\u0026rsquo;s total resources. You can think of it as a minimal lightweight resource orchestration layer within Flink. The figure below illustrates the difference between the current default mode of shared fixed-size slots and the new fine-grained resource management feature.

The figure below illustrates the difference between the current default mode of shared fixed-size slots and the new fine-grained resource management feature.
 You may be wondering why we implement such a feature in Flink, when we also integrate with full-fledged resource orchestration frameworks like Kubernetes or YARN. There are several situations where the additional resource management layer within Flink significantly increases the resource utilization:
 For many small slots, the overhead of dedicated TaskManagers is very high (JVM overhead, Flink control data structures). Slot-sharing implicitly works around this by sharing the slots between all operator types, which means sharing resources between lightweight operators (which need small slots) and heavyweight operators (which need large slots). However, this only works well when all operators share the same parallelism, which is not aways optimal. Furthermore, certain operators work better when run in isolation (for example ML training operators that need dedicated GPU resources). Kubernetes and YARN often take quite some time to fulfill requests, especially on loaded clusters. For many batch jobs, efficiency gets lost while waiting for the requests to be fulfilled. So when should you use this feature? For most streaming and batch jobs the default resource management mechanism are perfectly suitable. Fine-grained resourced management can help you increase resource efficiency if you have either long-running streaming jobs, or fast batch jobs, where different stages have different resource requirements, and you may have already tuned the parallelism of different operators to different values.
-Alibaba\u0026rsquo;s internal Flink-based platform has used this mechanism for some time now and the resource utilization of the cluster has improved significantly.

 Connectors # Connector Metrics # Metrics for connectors have been standardized in this release (see FLIP-33). The community will gradually pull metrics through all connectors, as we rework them onto the new unified APIs over the next releases. In Flink 1.14, we cover the Kafka connector and (partially) the FileSystem connectors.
 Connectors are the entry and exit points for data in a Flink job. If a job is not running as expected, the connector telemetry is among the first parts to be checked. We believe this will become a nice improvement when operating Flink applications in production.
 Pulsar Connector # In this release, Flink added the Apache Pulsar connector. The Pulsar connector reads data from Pulsar topics and supports both streaming and batch execution modes. With the support of the transaction functionality (introduced in Pulsar 2.8.0), the Pulsar connector provides exactly-once delivery semantic to ensure that a message is delivered exactly once to a consumer, even if a producer retries sending that message.
 To support the different message-ordering and scaling requirements of different use cases, the Pulsar source connector exposes four subscription types:
 Exclusive Shared Failover Key-Shared The connector currently supports the DataStream API. Table API/SQL bindings are expected to be contributed in a future release. For details about how to use the Pulsar connector, see Apache Pulsar Connector.

+Introduction # Apache Flink is a data processing engine that aims to keep state locally in order to do computations efficiently. However, Flink does not &ldquo;own&rdquo; the data but relies on external systems to ingest and persist data. Connecting to external data input (sources) and external data storage (sinks) is usually summarized under the term connectors in Flink.
 Since connectors are such important components, Flink ships with connectors for some popular systems. But sometimes you may need to read in an uncommon data format and what Flink provides is not enough. This is why Flink also provides extension points for building custom connectors if you want to connect to a system that is not supported by an existing connector.
 Once you have a source and a sink defined for Flink, you can use its declarative APIs (in the form of the Table API and SQL) to execute queries for data analysis.
 The Table API provides more programmatic access while SQL is a more universal query language. It is named Table API because of its relational functions on tables: how to obtain a table, how to output a table, and how to perform query operations on the table.

 Understand the infrastructure required for a connector # In order to create a connector which works with Flink, you need:
 A factory class (a blueprint for creating other objects from string properties) that tells Flink with which identifier (in this case, “imap”) our connector can be addressed, which configuration options it exposes, and how the connector can be instantiated. Since Flink uses the Java Service Provider Interface (SPI) to discover factories located in different modules, you will also need to add some configuration details.
 The table source object as a specific instance of the connector during the planning stage. It is responsible for back and forth communication with the optimizer during the planning stage and is like another factory for creating connector runtime implementation. There are also more advanced features, such as abilities, that can be implemented to improve connector performance.
-A runtime implementation from the connector obtained during the planning stage. The runtime logic is implemented in Flink\u0026rsquo;s core connector interfaces and does the actual work of producing rows of dynamic table data. The runtime instances are shipped to the Flink cluster.
+A runtime implementation from the connector obtained during the planning stage. The runtime logic is implemented in Flink&rsquo;s core connector interfaces and does the actual work of producing rows of dynamic table data. The runtime instances are shipped to the Flink cluster.
 Let us look at this sequence (factory class → table source → runtime implementation) in reverse order.
-Establish the runtime implementation of the connector # You first need to have a source connector which can be used in Flink\u0026rsquo;s runtime system, defining how data goes in and how it can be executed in the cluster. There are a few different interfaces available for implementing the actual source of the data and have it be discoverable in Flink.

There are a few different interfaces available for implementing the actual source of the data and have it be discoverable in Flink.
 For complex connectors, you may want to implement the Source interface which gives you a lot of control. For simpler use cases, you can use the SourceFunction interface. There are already a few different implementations of SourceFunction interfaces for common use cases such as the FromElementsFunction class and the RichSourceFunction class. You will use the latter.
 Hint The Source interface is the new abstraction whereas the SourceFunction interface is slowly phasing out. All connectors will eventually implement the Source interface. RichSourceFunction is a base class for implementing a data source that has access to context information and some lifecycle methods. There is a run() method inherited from the SourceFunction interface that you need to implement. It is invoked once and can be used to produce the data either once for a bounded result or within a loop for an unbounded stream.
 For example, to create a bounded data source, you could implement this method so that it reads all existing emails and then closes. To create an unbounded source, you could only look at new emails coming in while the source is active. You can also combine these behaviors and expose them through configuration options.
 When you first create the class and implement the interface, it should look something like this:
-import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.RichSourceFunction; import org.apache.flink.table.data.RowData; public class ImapSource extends RichSourceFunction\u0026lt;RowData\u0026gt; { @Override public void run(SourceContext\u0026lt;RowData\u0026gt; ctx) throws Exception {} @Override public void cancel() {} } Note that internal data structures (RowData) are used because that is required by the table runtime.
+import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.RichSourceFunction; import org.apache.flink.table.data.RowData; public class ImapSource extends RichSourceFunction&lt;RowData&gt; { @Override public void run(SourceContext&lt;RowData&gt; ctx) throws Exception {} @Override public void cancel() {} } Note that internal data structures (RowData) are used because that is required by the table runtime.
 In the run() method, you get access to a context object inherited from the SourceFunction interface, which is a bridge to Flink and allows you to output data. Since the source does not produce any data yet, the next step is to make it produce some static data in order to test that the data flows correctly:
-import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.RichSourceFunction; import org.apache.flink.table.data.GenericRowData; import org.apache.flink.table.data.RowData; import org.apache.flink.table.data.StringData; public class ImapSource extends RichSourceFunction\u0026lt;RowData\u0026gt; { @Override public void run(SourceContext\u0026lt;RowData\u0026gt; ctx) throws Exception { ctx.collect(GenericRowData.of( StringData.fromString(\u0026#34;Subject 1\u0026#34;), StringData.fromString(\u0026#34;Hello, World!\u0026#34;) )); } @Override public void cancel(){} } You do not need to implement the cancel() method yet because the source finishes instantly.
+import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.RichSourceFunction; import org.apache.flink.table.data.GenericRowData; import org.apache.flink.table.data.RowData; import org.apache.flink.table.data.StringData; public class ImapSource extends RichSourceFunction&lt;RowData&gt; { @Override public void run(SourceContext&lt;RowData&gt; ctx) throws Exception { ctx.collect(GenericRowData.of( StringData.fromString(&#34;Subject 1&#34;), StringData.fromString(&#34;Hello, World!&#34;) )); } @Override public void cancel(){} } You do not need to implement the cancel() method yet because the source finishes instantly.
 Create and configure a dynamic table source for the data stream # Dynamic tables are the core concept of Flink’s Table API and SQL support for streaming data and, like its name suggests, change over time. You can imagine a data stream being logically converted into a table that is constantly changing. For this tutorial, the emails that will be read in will be interpreted as a (source) table that is queryable. It can be viewed as a specific instance of a connector class.
 You will now implement a DynamicTableSource interface. There are two types of dynamic table sources: ScanTableSource and LookupTableSource. Scan sources read the entire table on the external system while lookup sources look for specific rows based on keys. The former will fit the use case of this tutorial.
 This is what a scan table source implementation would look like:
-import org.apache.flink.table.connector.ChangelogMode; import org.apache.flink.table.connector.source.DynamicTableSource; import org.apache.flink.table.connector.source.ScanTableSource; import org.apache.flink.table.connector.source.SourceFunctionProvider; public class ImapTableSource implements ScanTableSource { @Override public ChangelogMode getChangelogMode() { return ChangelogMode.insertOnly(); } @Override public ScanRuntimeProvider getScanRuntimeProvider(ScanContext ctx) { boolean bounded = true; final ImapSource source = new ImapSource(); return SourceFunctionProvider.of(source, bounded); } @Override public DynamicTableSource copy() { return new ImapTableSource(); } @Override public String asSummaryString() { return \u0026#34;IMAP Table Source\u0026#34;; } } ChangelogMode informs Flink of expected changes that the planner can expect during runtime. For example, whether the source produces only new rows, also updates to existing ones, or whether it can remove previously produced rows. Our source will only produce (insertOnly()) new rows.
+import org.apache.flink.table.connector.ChangelogMode; import org.apache.flink.table.connector.source.DynamicTableSource; import org.apache.flink.table.connector.source.ScanTableSource; import org.apache.flink.table.connector.source.SourceFunctionProvider; public class ImapTableSource implements ScanTableSource { @Override public ChangelogMode getChangelogMode() { return ChangelogMode.insertOnly(); } @Override public ScanRuntimeProvider getScanRuntimeProvider(ScanContext ctx) { boolean bounded = true; final ImapSource source = new ImapSource(); return SourceFunctionProvider.of(source, bounded); } @Override public DynamicTableSource copy() { return new ImapTableSource(); } @Override public String asSummaryString() { return &#34;IMAP Table Source&#34;; } } ChangelogMode informs Flink of expected changes that the planner can expect during runtime. For example, whether the source produces only new rows, also updates to existing ones, or whether it can remove previously produced rows. Our source will only produce (insertOnly()) new rows.
 ScanRuntimeProvider allows Flink to create the actual runtime implementation you established previously (for reading the data). Flink even provides utilities like SourceFunctionProvider to wrap it into an instance of SourceFunction, which is one of the base runtime interfaces.
 You will also need to indicate whether the source is bounded or not. Currently, this is the case but you will have to change this later.
 Create a factory class for the connector so it can be discovered by Flink # You now have a working source connector, but in order to use it in Table API or SQL, it needs to be discoverable by Flink. You also need to define how the connector is addressable from a SQL statement when creating a source table.
-You need to implement a Factory, which is a base interface that creates object instances from a list of key-value pairs in Flink\u0026rsquo;s Table API and SQL. A factory is uniquely identified by its class name and factoryIdentifier(). For this tutorial, you will implement the more specific DynamicTableSourceFactory, which allows you to configure a dynamic table connector as well as create DynamicTableSource instances.
-import java.util.HashSet; import java.util.Set; import org.apache.flink.configuration.ConfigOption; import org.apache.flink.table.connector.source.DynamicTableSource; import org.apache.flink.table.factories.DynamicTableSourceFactory; import org.apache.flink.table.factories.FactoryUtil; public class ImapTableSourceFactory implements DynamicTableSourceFactory { @Override public String factoryIdentifier() { return \u0026#34;imap\u0026#34;; } @Override public Set\u0026lt;ConfigOption\u0026lt;?\u0026gt;\u0026gt; requiredOptions() { return new HashSet\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(); } @Override public Set\u0026lt;ConfigOption\u0026lt;?\u0026gt;\u0026gt; optionalOptions() { return new HashSet\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(); } @Override public DynamicTableSource createDynamicTableSource(Context ctx) { final FactoryUtil.TableFactoryHelper factoryHelper = FactoryUtil.createTableFactoryHelper(this, ctx); factoryHelper.validate(); return new ImapTableSource(); } } There are currently no configuration options but they can be added and also validated within the createDynamicTableSource() function. There is a small helper utility, TableFactoryHelper, that Flink offers which ensures that required options are set and that no unknown options are provided.
-Finally, you need to register your factory for Java\u0026rsquo;s Service Provider Interfaces (SPI). Classes that implement this interface can be discovered and should be added to this file src/main/resources/META-INF/services/org.apache.flink.table.factories.Factory with the fully classified class name of your factory:

 $ cd testing/ $ ./build_and_run.sh This builds the connector, starts a Flink cluster, a test email server (which you will need later), and the SQL client (which is bundled in the regular Flink distribution) for you. If successful, you should see the SQL CLI:
 Flink SQL Client
-You can now create a table (with a \u0026ldquo;subject\u0026rdquo; column and a \u0026ldquo;content\u0026rdquo; column) with your connector by executing the following statement with the SQL client:
-CREATE TABLE T (subject STRING, content STRING) WITH (\u0026#39;connector\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;imap\u0026#39;); SELECT * FROM T; Note that the schema must be exactly as written since it is currently hardcoded into the connector.
-You should be able to see the static data you provided in your source connector earlier, which would be \u0026ldquo;Subject 1\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;Hello, World!\u0026rdquo;.
+You can now create a table (with a &ldquo;subject&rdquo; column and a &ldquo;content&rdquo; column) with your connector by executing the following statement with the SQL client:

 Now that you have a working connector, the next step is to make it do something more useful than returning static data.
 Summary # In this tutorial, you looked into the infrastructure required for a connector and configured its runtime implementation to define how it should be executed in a cluster. You also defined a dynamic table source that reads the entire stream-converted table from the external source, made the connector discoverable by Flink through creating a factory class for it, and then tested it.

 hostname (of the mail server) port number username password You will start by creating a class to encapsulate the configuration options. You will make use of Lombok to help with some boilerplate code. By adding the @Data and @SuperBuilder annotations, Lombok will generate these for all the fields of the immutable class.
 import lombok.Data; import lombok.experimental.SuperBuilder; import javax.annotation.Nullable; import java.io.Serializable; @Data @SuperBuilder(toBuilder = true) public class ImapSourceOptions implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private final String host; private final @Nullable Integer port; private final @Nullable String user; private final @Nullable String password; } Now you can add an instance of this class to the ImapSource and ImapTableSource classes previously created (in part one) so it can be used there. Take note of the column names with which the table has been created. This will help later. You will also switch the source to be unbounded now as we will change the implementation in a bit to continuously listen for new emails.
 Hint The column names would be "subject" and "content" with the SQL executed in part one:
-CREATE TABLE T (subject STRING, content STRING) WITH ('connector' = 'imap'); import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.RichSourceFunction; import org.apache.flink.table.data.RowData; import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; public class ImapSource extends RichSourceFunction\u0026lt;RowData\u0026gt; { private final ImapSourceOptions options; private final List\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; columnNames; public ImapSource( ImapSourceOptions options, List\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; columnNames ) { this.options = options; this.columnNames = columnNames.stream() .map(String::toUpperCase) .collect(Collectors.toList()); } // ... } import org.apache.flink.table.connector.source.DynamicTableSource; import org.apache.flink.table.connector.source.ScanTableSource; import java.util.List; public class ImapTableSource implements ScanTableSource { private final ImapSourceOptions options; private final List\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; columnNames; public ImapTableSource( ImapSourceOptions options, List\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; columnNames ) { this.options = options; this.columnNames = columnNames; } // … @Override public ScanRuntimeProvider getScanRuntimeProvider(ScanContext ctx) { final boolean bounded = false; final ImapSource source = new ImapSource(options, columnNames); return SourceFunctionProvider.of(source, bounded); } @Override public DynamicTableSource copy() { return new ImapTableSource(options, columnNames); } // … } Finally, in the ImapTableSourceFactory class, you need to create a ConfigOption\u0026lt;\u0026gt; for the hostname, port number, username, and password. Then you need to report them to Flink. Host, user, and password are mandatory and can be added to requiredOptions(); the port is optional and can be added to optionalOptions() instead.

Recall that previously (in part one) you used a small helper utility TableFactoryHelper, that Flink offers which ensures that required options are set and that no unknown options are provided. You can now use it to automatically make sure that the required options of hostname, port number, username, and password are all provided when creating a table using this connector. The helper function will throw an error message if one required option is missing. You can also use it to access the provided options (getOptions()), convert them into an instance of the ImapTableSource class created earlier, and provide the instance to the table source:
-import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; import org.apache.flink.table.factories.DynamicTableSourceFactory; import org.apache.flink.table.factories.FactoryUtil; import org.apache.flink.table.catalog.Column; public class ImapTableSourceFactory implements DynamicTableSourceFactory { // ... @Override public DynamicTableSource createDynamicTableSource(Context ctx) { final FactoryUtil.TableFactoryHelper factoryHelper = FactoryUtil.createTableFactoryHelper(this, ctx); factoryHelper.validate(); final ImapSourceOptions options = ImapSourceOptions.builder() .host(factoryHelper.getOptions().get(HOST)) .port(factoryHelper.getOptions().get(PORT)) .user(factoryHelper.getOptions().get(USER)) .password(factoryHelper.getOptions().get(PASSWORD)) .build(); final List\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; columnNames = ctx.getCatalogTable().getResolvedSchema().getColumns().stream() .filter(Column::isPhysical) .map(Column::getName) .collect(Collectors.toList()); return new ImapTableSource(options, columnNames); } } Hint Ideally, you would use connector metadata instead of column names. You can refer again to the accompanying repository which does implement this using metadata fields. To test these new configuration options, run:

Recall that previously (in part one) you used a small helper utility TableFactoryHelper, that Flink offers which ensures that required options are set and that no unknown options are provided. You can now use it to automatically make sure that the required options of hostname, port number, username, and password are all provided when creating a table using this connector. The helper function will throw an error message if one required option is missing. You can also use it to access the provided options (getOptions()), convert them into an instance of the ImapTableSource class created earlier, and provide the instance to the table source:
+import java.util.List; import java.util.stream.Collectors; import org.apache.flink.table.factories.DynamicTableSourceFactory; import org.apache.flink.table.factories.FactoryUtil; import org.apache.flink.table.catalog.Column; public class ImapTableSourceFactory implements DynamicTableSourceFactory { // ... @Override public DynamicTableSource createDynamicTableSource(Context ctx) { final FactoryUtil.TableFactoryHelper factoryHelper = FactoryUtil.createTableFactoryHelper(this, ctx); factoryHelper.validate(); final ImapSourceOptions options = ImapSourceOptions.builder() .host(factoryHelper.getOptions().get(HOST)) .port(factoryHelper.getOptions().get(PORT)) .user(factoryHelper.getOptions().get(USER)) .password(factoryHelper.getOptions().get(PASSWORD)) .build(); final List&lt;String&gt; columnNames = ctx.getCatalogTable().getResolvedSchema().getColumns().stream() .filter(Column::isPhysical) .map(Column::getName) .collect(Collectors.toList()); return new ImapTableSource(options, columnNames); } } Hint Ideally, you would use connector metadata instead of column names. You can refer again to the accompanying repository which does implement this using metadata fields. To test these new configuration options, run:
 $ cd testing/ $ ./build_and_run.sh Once you see the Flink SQL client start up, execute the following statements to create a table with your connector:
-CREATE TABLE T (subject STRING, content STRING) WITH (\u0026#39;connector\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;imap\u0026#39;); SELECT * FROM T; This time it will fail because the required options are not provided:
+CREATE TABLE T (subject STRING, content STRING) WITH (&#39;connector&#39; = &#39;imap&#39;); SELECT * FROM T; This time it will fail because the required options are not provided:
 [ERROR] Could not execute SQL statement. Reason: org.apache.flink.table.api.ValidationException: One or more required options are missing. Missing required options are: host password user Connect to the source email server # Now that you have configured the required options to connect to the email server, it is time to actually connect to the server.
 Going back to the ImapSource class, you first need to convert the options given to the table source into a Properties object, which is what you can pass to the Jakarta library. You can also set various other properties here as well (i.e. enabling SSL).
 The specific properties that the Jakarta library understands are documented here.
-import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.RichSourceFunction; import org.apache.flink.table.data.RowData; import java.util.Properties; public class ImapSource extends RichSourceFunction\u0026lt;RowData\u0026gt; { // … private Properties getSessionProperties() { Properties props = new Properties(); props.put(\u0026#34;mail.store.protocol\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;imap\u0026#34;); props.put(\u0026#34;mail.imap.auth\u0026#34;, true); props.put(\u0026#34;mail.imap.host\u0026#34;, options.getHost()); if (options.getPort() != null) { props.put(\u0026#34;mail.imap.port\u0026#34;, options.getPort()); } return props; } } Now create a method (connect()) which sets up the connection:
-import jakarta.mail.*; import com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPFolder; import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.RichSourceFunction; import org.apache.flink.table.data.RowData; public class ImapSource extends RichSourceFunction\u0026lt;RowData\u0026gt; { // … private transient Store store; private transient IMAPFolder folder; private void connect() throws Exception { final Session session = Session.getInstance(getSessionProperties(), null); store = session.getStore(); store.connect(options.getUser(), options.getPassword()); final Folder genericFolder = store.getFolder(\u0026#34;INBOX\u0026#34;); folder = (IMAPFolder) genericFolder; if (!folder.isOpen()) { folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY); } } } You can now use this method to connect to the mail server when the source is created. Create a loop to keep the source running while collecting email counts. Lastly, implement methods to cancel and close the connection:
-import jakarta.mail.*; import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.RichSourceFunction; import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.source.SourceFunction; import org.apache.flink.table.data.RowData; public class ImapSource extends RichSourceFunction\u0026lt;RowData\u0026gt; { private transient volatile boolean running = false; // … @Override public void run(SourceFunction.SourceContext\u0026lt;RowData\u0026gt; ctx) throws Exception { connect(); running = true; // TODO: Listen for new messages while (running) { // Trigger some IMAP request to force the server to send a notification folder.getMessageCount(); Thread.sleep(250); } } @Override public void cancel() { running = false; } @Override public void close() throws Exception { if (folder != null) { folder.close(); } if (store != null) { store.close(); } } } There is a request trigger to the server in every loop iteration. This is crucial as it ensures that the server will keep sending notifications. A more sophisticated approach would be to make use of the IDLE protocol.

This is crucial as it ensures that the server will keep sending notifications. A more sophisticated approach would be to make use of the IDLE protocol.
 Note Since the source is not checkpointable, no state fault tolerance will be possible.
 Collect incoming emails # Now you need to listen for new emails arriving in the inbox folder and collect them. To begin, hardcode the schema and only return the email’s subject. Fortunately, Jakarta provides a simple hook (addMessageCountListener()) to get notified when new messages arrive on the server. You can use this in place of the “TODO” comment above:

 $ cd testing/ $ ./build_and_run.sh This time, you will connect to a GreenMail server which is started as part of the setup:
-CREATE TABLE T ( subject STRING ) WITH ( \u0026#39;connector\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;imap\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;host\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;greenmail\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;port\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;3143\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;user\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;alice\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;password\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;alice\u0026#39; ); SELECT * FROM T; The query above should now run continuously but no rows will be produced since it is a test server.

 However, since you are still hard-coding the schema produced by the source, defining the table with a different schema will produce errors. You want to be able to define which fields of an email interest you and then produce the data accordingly. To do this, you will use the list of column names from earlier and then look at it when you collect the emails.

 Test the connector with a real mail server on the Ververica Platform # If you want to test the connector with a real mail server, you can import it into Ververica Platform Community Edition. To begin, make sure that you have the Ververica Platform up and running.
 Since the example connector in this blog post is still a bit limited, you will use the finished connector in this repository instead. You can clone that repository and build it the same way to obtain the JAR file.
-For this example, let\u0026rsquo;s connect to a Gmail account. This requires SSL and comes with an additional caveat that you need to enable two-factor authentication and create an application password to use instead of your real password.
+For this example, let&rsquo;s connect to a Gmail account. This requires SSL and comes with an additional caveat that you need to enable two-factor authentication and create an application password to use instead of your real password.
 First, head to SQL → Connectors. There you can create a new connector by uploading your JAR file. The platform will detect the connector options automatically. Afterwards, go back to the SQL Editor and you should now be able to use the connector.
 Ververica Platform - SQL Editor
 Summary # Apache Flink is designed for easy extensibility and allows users to access many different external systems as data sources or sinks through a versatile set of connectors. It can read and write data from databases, local and distributed file systems.
 Flink also exposes APIs on top of which custom connectors can be built. In this two-part blog series, you explored some of these APIs and concepts and learned how to implement your own custom source connector that can read in data from an email inbox. You then used Flink to process incoming emails through the IMAP protocol and wrote some Flink SQL.

 New Features # Delayed Message Cancellation # Stateful Functions communicate by sending messages, but sometimes it is helpful that a function will send a message for itself. For example, you may want to set a time limit on a customer onboarding flow to complete. This can easily be implmented by sending a message with a delay. But up until now, there was no way to indicate to the StateFun runtime that a particular delayed message is not necessary anymore (a customer had completed their onboarding flow). With StateFun 3.1, it is now possible to cancel a delayed message.

-New way to specify components # StateFun applications consist of multiple configuration components, including remote function endpoints, along with ingress and egress definitions, defined in a YAML format. We\u0026rsquo;ve added a new structure that treats each StateFun component as a standalone YAML document in this release. Thus, a module.yaml file becomes simply a collection of components.

 An address scoped storage acting as a key-value store for a particular address. A unified cross-language way to send, receive and store values across languages. Dynamic ValueSpec to describe the state name, type, and possibly expiration configuration at runtime. You can get started by adding the SDK to your go.mod file.

For sure we'd still like to hear your feedback. Dear Flink Community,
 we are excited to announce the first release candidate of Apache Flink 1.14. 🎉
-A lot of features and fixes went into this release, including improvements to the unified batch and streaming experience, an increase in fault tolerance by reducing in-flight data, and more developments on connectors and components. It wouldn\u0026rsquo;t have been possible without your help. Around 211 people have made contributions!

It wouldn&rsquo;t have been possible without your help. Around 211 people have made contributions!
 Two weeks ago (August 16th) we created a feature freeze. This means that only a few small, almost-ready features will go into the release from this moment on. We are now in the process of stabilizing the release and need your help! As you can see on the 1.14 release coordination page, a lot of focus is on documentation and testing.
 If you would like to contribute to the squirrel community, a great way would be to download the release candidate and test it. You can run some existing Flink jobs or pick one of the test issues. We would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide on the JIRA tickets or on the mailing list.
 We continue to be grateful and inspired by the community who believe in the project and want to help create a great user experience and product for all Flink users.
 Many thanks!

-The backpressure topic was tackled from different angles over the last couple of years.

+The backpressure topic was tackled from different angles over the last couple of years. However, when it comes to identifying and analyzing sources of backpressure, things have changed quite a bit in the recent Flink releases (especially with new additions to metrics and the web UI in Flink 1.13). This post will try to clarify some of these changes and go into more detail about how to track down the source of backpressure, but first&hellip;
 What is backpressure? # This has been explained very well in an old, but still accurate, post by Ufuk Celebi. I highly recommend reading it if you are not familiar with this concept. For a much deeper and low-level understanding of the topic and how Flink’s network stack works, there is a more advanced explanation available here.
 At a high level, backpressure happens if some operator(s) in the Job Graph cannot process records at the same rate as they are received. This fills up the input buffers of the subtask that is running this slow operator. Once the input buffers are full, backpressure propagates to the output buffers of the upstream subtasks. Once those are filled up, the upstream subtasks are also forced to slow down their records’ processing rate to match the processing rate of the operator causing this bottleneck down the stream. Backpressure further propagates up the stream until it reaches the source operators.
 As long as the load and available resources are static and none of the operators produce short bursts of data (like windowing operators), those input/output buffers should only be in one of two states: almost empty or almost full. If the downstream operator or subtask is able to keep up with the influx of data, the buffers will be empty. If not, then the buffers will be full [1]. In fact, checking the buffers’ usage metrics was the basis of the previously recommended way on how to detect and analyze backpressure described a couple of years back by Nico Kruber. As I mentioned in the beginning, Flink now offers much better tools to do the same job, but before we get to that, there are two questions worth asking.

 Furthermore, varying load and especially firing windows can move the bottleneck to a different place in the job graph:
 Bottleneck alternating between two tasks
 SlidingWindowOperator
-In this particular example, SlidingWindowOperator was the bottleneck as long as it was accumulating records. However, as soon as it starts to fire its windows (once every 10 seconds), the downstream task SlidingWindowCheckMapper -\u0026gt; Sink: SlidingWindowCheckPrintSink becomes the bottleneck and SlidingWindowOperator gets backpressured. As those busy/backpressured/idle metrics are averaging time over a couple of seconds, this subtlety is not immediately visible and has to be read between the lines. On top of that, the web UI is updating its state only once every 10 seconds, which makes spotting more frequent changes a bit more difficult.

 What can I do with backpressure? # In general this is a complex topic that is worthy of a dedicated blog post. It was, to a certain extent, addressed in previous blog posts. In short, there are two high-level ways of dealing with backpressure. Either add more resources (more machines, faster CPU, more RAM, better network, using SSDs…) or optimize usage of the resources you already have (optimize the code, tune the configuration, avoid data skew). In either case, you first need to analyze what is causing backpressure by:
-Identifying the presence of backpressure. Locating which subtask(s) or machines are causing it. Digging deeper into what part of the code is causing it and which resource is scarce. Backpressure monitoring improvements and metrics can help you with the first two points. To tackle the last one, profiling the code can be the way to go. To help with profiling, also starting from Flink 1.13, Flame Graphs are integrated into Flink\u0026rsquo;s web UI. Flame Graphs is a well known profiling tool and visualization technique and I encourage you to give it a try.

Flame Graphs is a well known profiling tool and visualization technique and I encourage you to give it a try.
 But keep in mind that after locating where the bottleneck is, you can analyze it the same way you would any other non-distributed application (by checking resource utilization, attaching a profiler, etc). Usually there is no silver bullet for problems like this. You can try to scale up but sometimes it might not be easy or practical to do.
-Anyway\u0026hellip; The aforementioned improvements to backpressure monitoring allow us to easily detect the source of backpressure, and Flame Graphs can help us to analyze why a particular subtask is causing problems. Together those two features should make the previously quite tedious process of debugging and performance analysis of Flink jobs that much easier! Please upgrade to Flink 1.13.x and try them out!

 Manually rescaling a Flink job has been possible since Flink 1.2 introduced rescalable state, which allows you to stop-and-restore a job with a different parallelism. For example, if your job is running with a parallelism of p=100 and your load increases, you can restart it with p=200 to cope with the additional data.
 The problem with this approach is that you have to orchestrate a rescale operation with custom tools by yourself, including error handling and similar tasks.
 Reactive Mode introduces a new option in Flink 1.13: You monitor your Flink cluster and add or remove resources depending on some metrics, Flink will do the rest. Reactive Mode is a mode where JobManager will try to use all TaskManager resources available.
-The big benefit of Reactive Mode is that you don\u0026rsquo;t need any specific knowledge to scale Flink anymore. Flink basically behaves like a fleet of servers (e.g. webservers, caches, batch processing) that you can expand or shrink as you wish. Since this is such a common pattern, there is a lot of infrastructure available for handling such cases: all major cloud providers offer utilities to monitor specific metrics and automatically scale a set of machines accordingly. For example, this would be provided through Auto Scaling groups in AWS, and Managed Instance groups in Google Cloud. Similarly, Kubernetes provides Horizontal Pod Autoscalers.
-What is interesting, as a side note, is that unlike most auto scalable \u0026ldquo;fleets of servers\u0026rdquo;, Flink is a stateful system, often processing valuable data requiring strong correctness guarantees (comparable to a database). But, unlike many traditional databases, Flink is resilient enough (through checkpointing and state backups) to adjust to changing workloads by just adding or removing resources, with very little requirements (i.e. simple blob store for state backups).

-# These instructions assume you are in the root directory of a Flink distribution. # Put Job into usrlib/ directory mkdir usrlib cp ./examples/streaming/TopSpeedWindowing.jar usrlib/ # Submit Job in Reactive Mode ./bin/standalone-job.sh start -Dscheduler-mode=reactive -Dexecution.checkpointing.interval=\u0026#34;10s\u0026#34; -j org.apache.flink.streaming.examples.windowing.TopSpeedWindowing # Start first TaskManager ./bin/taskmanager.sh start You have now started a Flink job in Reactive Mode. The web interface shows that the job is running on one TaskManager. If you want to scale up the job, simply add another TaskManager to the cluster:

 Demo on Kubernetes # In this section, we want to demonstrate the new Reactive Mode in a real-world scenario. You can use this demo as a starting point for your own scalable deployment of Flink on Kubernetes, or as a template for building your own deployment using a different setup.
 The Setup # The central idea of this demo is to use a Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, which monitors the CPU load of all TaskManager pods and adjusts their replication factor accordingly. On high CPU load, the autoscaler should add more TaskManagers, distributing the load across more machines. On low load, it should stop TaskManagers to save resources.
 The whole setup is presented here:
-Let\u0026rsquo;s discuss the components:
+Let&rsquo;s discuss the components:
 Flink
 The JobManager is deployed as a Kubernetes job. We are submitting a container that is based on the official Flink Docker image, but has the jar file of our job added to it. The Flink job simply reads data from a Kafka topic and does some expensive math operations per event received. We use these math operations to generate high CPU loads, without requiring a large Kafka deployment. The TaskManager(s) are deployed as a Kubernetes deployment, which is scaled through a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler. In this experiment, the autoscaler is monitoring the CPU load of the pods in the deployment. The number of pods is adjusted between 1 and 15 pods by the autoscaler. Additional Components:
 We have a Zookeeper and Kafka deployment (each with one pod) to provide a Kafka topic that serves as the input for the Flink job. The Data Generator pod produces simple string messages at a adjustable rate to the Kafka topic. In this experiment, the rate is following a sine wave. For monitoring, we are deploying Prometheus and Grafana. The entire setup is available on GitHub if you want to try this out yourself.

 Reactive Mode Experiment Results
-Let\u0026rsquo;s take a closer look at the dashboard:
-On the top left, you can see the Kafka consumer lag, reported by Flink\u0026rsquo;s Kafka consumer (source), which reports the queue size of unprocessed messages. A high lag means that Flink is not processing messages as fast as they are produced: we need to scale up.
+Let&rsquo;s take a closer look at the dashboard:
+On the top left, you can see the Kafka consumer lag, reported by Flink&rsquo;s Kafka consumer (source), which reports the queue size of unprocessed messages. A high lag means that Flink is not processing messages as fast as they are produced: we need to scale up.
 The lag is usually following the throughput of data coming from Kafka. When the throughput is the highest, the reported lag is at ~75k messages. In low throughput times, it is basically at zero.
-On the top right, you\u0026rsquo;ll see the throughput, measured in records per second, as reported by Flink. The throughput is roughly following a sine wave, peaking at 6k messages per second, and going down to almost zero.
-The bottom left chart shows the CPU load per TaskManager. We\u0026rsquo;ve added this metric to the dashboard because this is what the pod autoscaler in Kubernetes will use to decide on the replica count of the TaskManager deployment. You can see that, as soon as a certain CPU load is reached, additional TaskManagers are started.
-In the bottom right chart, you can see the TaskManager count over time. When the throughput (and CPU load) is peaking, we\u0026rsquo;re running on 5 TaskManagers (with some peaks up to even 8). On low throughput, we\u0026rsquo;re running the minimal number of just one TaskManager. This chart showcases nicely that Reactive Mode is working as expected in this experiment: the number of TaskManagers is adjusting to the load on the system.

 Lessons Learned: Configuring a low heartbeat timeout for a smooth scale down # When we initially started with the experiment, we noticed some anomalies in the behavior of Flink, depicted in this chart:
 Reactive Mode not scaling down properly
-In all the charts, we see sudden spikes or drops: The consumer lag is going to up to 600k messages (that\u0026rsquo;s 8 times more than the usual 75k lag we observe at peak), the throughput seems to peak (and drop). On the \u0026ldquo;Number of TaskManagers\u0026rdquo; chart, we see that we are not following the throughput line very nicely. We are wasting resources by allocating too many TaskManagers for the given at rate.
+In all the charts, we see sudden spikes or drops: The consumer lag is going to up to 600k messages (that&rsquo;s 8 times more than the usual 75k lag we observe at peak), the throughput seems to peak (and drop). On the &ldquo;Number of TaskManagers&rdquo; chart, we see that we are not following the throughput line very nicely. We are wasting resources by allocating too many TaskManagers for the given at rate.
 We see that these issues are only occurring when the load is decreasing, and Reactive Mode is supposed to scale down. So what is happening here?
-The Flink JobManager is sending periodic heartbeats to the TaskManagers, to check if they are still alive. These heartbeats have a default timeout of 50 seconds. This value might seem high, but in high load scenarios, there might be network congestions, garbage collection pauses or other disruptions that cause slow heartbeats. We don\u0026rsquo;t want to consider a TaskManager dead just because of a temporary disruption.
+The Flink JobManager is sending periodic heartbeats to the TaskManagers, to check if they are still alive. These heartbeats have a default timeout of 50 seconds. This value might seem high, but in high load scenarios, there might be network congestions, garbage collection pauses or other disruptions that cause slow heartbeats. We don&rsquo;t want to consider a TaskManager dead just because of a temporary disruption.
 However, this default value is causing problems in this experiment: When the Kubernetes autoscaler notices that the CPU load has gone down, it will reduce the replica count of the TaskManager deployment, stopping at least one TaskManager instance. Flink will almost immediately stop processing messages, because of the connection loss in the data transport layer of Flink. However, the JobManager will wait for 50 seconds (the default heartbeat timeout) before the TaskManager is considered dead.
 During this waiting period, the throughput is at zero and messages are queuing in Kafka (causing spikes in the consumer lag). Once Flink is running again, Flink will try to catch up on the queued messages, causing a spike in CPU load. The autoscaler notices this load spike and allocates more TaskManagers.
 We are only seeing this effect on scale down, because a scale down is much more disruptive than scaling up. Scale up, which means adding TaskManagers, is disrupting the processing only for the duration of a job restart (which is fast since our application state are just a few bytes for the Kafka offsets), while scaling down is disrupting the processing for roughly 50 seconds.
 To mitigate this issue, we have reduced the heartbeat.timeout in our experiment to 8 seconds. Additionally, we are looking into improving the behavior of the JobManager to detect TaskManager losses better and faster.

 Reactive Mode is new feature in Flink 1.13 and is currently in the MVP (Minimal Viable Product) phase of product development. Before experimenting with it, or using it in production, please check the documentation, in particular the current limitations section. In this phase, the biggest limitation is that only standalone application mode deployments are supported (i.e. no active resource managers or session clusters).
-The community is actively looking for feedback on this feature, to continue improving Flink\u0026rsquo;s resource elasticity. If you have any feedback, please reach out to the dev@ mailing list or to me personally on Twitter.

 The release brings us a big step forward in one of our major efforts: Making Stream Processing Applications as natural and as simple to manage as any other application. The new reactive scaling mode means that scaling streaming applications in and out now works like in any other application by just changing the number of parallel processes.
-The release also prominently features a series of improvements that help users better understand the performance of applications. When the streams don\u0026rsquo;t flow as fast as you\u0026rsquo;d hope, these can help you to understand why: Load and backpressure visualization to identify bottlenecks, CPU flame graphs to identify hot code paths in your application, and State Access Latencies to see how the State Backends are keeping up.

 Beyond those features, the Flink community has added a ton of improvements all over the system, some of which we discuss in this article. We hope you enjoy the new release and features. Towards the end of the article, we describe changes to be aware of when upgrading from earlier versions of Apache Flink.
 We encourage you to download the release and share your feedback with the community through the Flink mailing lists or JIRA.

 Flink has a dual nature when it comes to resource management and deployments: You can deploy Flink applications onto resource orchestrators like Kubernetes or Yarn in such a way that Flink actively manages the resources and allocates and releases workers as needed. That is especially useful for jobs and applications that rapidly change their required resources, like batch applications and ad-hoc SQL queries. The application parallelism rules, the number of workers follows. In the context of Flink applications, we call this active scaling.
-For long-running streaming applications, it is often a nicer model to just deploy them like any other long-running application: The application doesn\u0026rsquo;t really need to know that it runs on K8s, EKS, Yarn, etc. and doesn\u0026rsquo;t try to acquire a specific amount of workers; instead, it just uses the number of workers that are given to it. The number of workers rules, the application parallelism adjusts to that. In the context of Flink, we call that reactive scaling.
-The Application Deployment Mode started this effort, making deployments more application-like (by avoiding two separate deployment steps to (1) start a cluster and (2) submit an application). The reactive scaling mode completes this, and you now don\u0026rsquo;t have to use extra tools (scripts, or a K8s operator) anymore to keep the number of workers, and the application parallelism settings in sync.
+For long-running streaming applications, it is often a nicer model to just deploy them like any other long-running application: The application doesn&rsquo;t really need to know that it runs on K8s, EKS, Yarn, etc. and doesn&rsquo;t try to acquire a specific amount of workers; instead, it just uses the number of workers that are given to it.

The reactive scaling mode completes this, and you now don&rsquo;t have to use extra tools (scripts, or a K8s operator) anymore to keep the number of workers, and the application parallelism settings in sync.
 You can now put an auto-scaler around Flink applications like around other typical applications — as long as you are mindful about the cost of rescaling when configuring the autoscaler: Stateful streaming applications must move state around when scaling.
 To try the reactive-scaling mode, add the scheduler-mode: reactive config entry and deploy an application cluster (standalone or Kubernetes). Check out the reactive scaling docs for more details.
 Analyzing application performance # Like for any application, analyzing and understanding the performance of a Flink application is critical. Often even more critical, because Flink applications are typically data-intensive (processing high volumes of data) and are at the same time expected to provide results within (near-) real-time latencies.
-When an application doesn\u0026rsquo;t keep up with the data rate anymore, or an application takes more resources than you\u0026rsquo;d expect it would, these new tools can help you track down the causes:
+When an application doesn&rsquo;t keep up with the data rate anymore, or an application takes more resources than you&rsquo;d expect it would, these new tools can help you track down the causes:
 Bottleneck detection, Back Pressure monitoring
 The first question during performance analysis is often: Which operation is the bottleneck?
 To help answer that, Flink exposes metrics about the degree to which tasks are busy (doing work) and back-pressured (have the capacity to do work but cannot because their successor operators cannot accept more results). Candidates for bottlenecks are the busy operators whose predecessors are back-pressured.
-Flink 1.13 brings an improved back pressure metric system (using task mailbox timings rather than thread stack sampling), and a reworked graphical representation of the job\u0026rsquo;s dataflow with color-coding and ratios for busyness and backpressure.

 CPU flame graphs in Web UI
 The next question during performance analysis is typically: What part of work in the bottlenecked operator is expensive?
 One visually effective means to investigate that is Flame Graphs. They help answer question like:
 Which methods are currently consuming CPU resources?
-How does one method\u0026rsquo;s CPU consumption compare to other methods?
+How does one method&rsquo;s CPU consumption compare to other methods?
 Which series of calls on the stack led to executing a particular method?
 Flame Graphs are constructed by repeatedly sampling the thread stack traces. Every method call is represented by a bar, where the length of the bar is proportional to the number of times it is present in the samples. When enabled, the graphs are shown in a new UI component for the selected operator.
 The Flame Graphs documentation contains more details and instructions for enabling this feature.
 Access Latency Metrics for State
 Another possible performance bottleneck can be the state backend, especially when your state is larger than the main memory available to Flink and you are using the RocksDB state backend.
-That\u0026rsquo;s not saying RocksDB is slow (we love RocksDB!), but it has some requirements to achieve good performance. For example, it is easy to accidentally starve RocksDB\u0026rsquo;s demand for IOPs on cloud setups with the wrong type of disk resources.
+That&rsquo;s not saying RocksDB is slow (we love RocksDB!), but it has some requirements to achieve good performance. For example, it is easy to accidentally starve RocksDB&rsquo;s demand for IOPs on cloud setups with the wrong type of disk resources.
 On top of the CPU flame graphs, the new state backend latency metrics can help you understand whether your state backend is responsive. For example, if you see that RocksDB state accesses start to take milliseconds, you probably need to look into your memory and I/O configuration. These metrics can be activated by setting the state.backend.rocksdb.latency-track-enabled option. The metrics are sampled, and their collection should have a marginal impact on the RocksDB state backend performance.
-Switching State Backend with savepoints # You can now change the state backend of a Flink application when resuming from a savepoint. That means the application\u0026rsquo;s state is no longer locked into the state backend that was used when the application was initially started.
+Switching State Backend with savepoints # You can now change the state backend of a Flink application when resuming from a savepoint. That means the application&rsquo;s state is no longer locked into the state backend that was used when the application was initially started.
 This makes it possible, for example, to initially start with the HashMap State Backend (pure in-memory in JVM Heap) and later switch to the RocksDB State Backend, once the state grows too large.
 Under the hood, Flink now has a canonical savepoint format, which all state backends use when creating a data snapshot for a savepoint.
 User-specified pod templates for Kubernetes deployments # The native Kubernetes deployment (where Flink actively talks to K8s to start and stop pods) now supports custom pod templates.
-With those templates, users can set up and configure the JobManagers and TaskManagers pods in a Kubernetes-y way, with flexibility beyond the configuration options that are directly built into Flink\u0026rsquo;s Kubernetes integration.

 Unaligned Checkpoints - production-ready # Unaligned Checkpoints have matured to the point where we encourage all users to try them out, if they see issues with their application under backpressure.
 In particular, these changes make Unaligned Checkpoints easier to use:
 You can now rescale applications from unaligned checkpoints. This comes in handy if your application needs to be scaled from a retained checkpoint because you cannot (afford to) create a savepoint.
 Enabling unaligned checkpoints is cheaper for applications that are not back-pressured. Unaligned checkpoints can now trigger adaptively with a timeout, meaning a checkpoint starts as an aligned checkpoint (not storing any in-flight events) and falls back to an unaligned checkpoint (storing some in-flight events), if the alignment phase takes longer than a certain time.
 Find out more about how to enable unaligned checkpoints in the Checkpointing Documentation.

 Windows via Table-valued functions # Defining time windows is one of the most frequent operations in streaming SQL queries. Flink 1.13 introduces a new way to define windows: via Table-valued Functions. This approach is both more expressive (lets you define new types of windows) and fully in line with the SQL standard.
 Flink 1.13 supports TUMBLE and HOP windows in the new syntax, SESSION windows will follow in a subsequent release. To demonstrate the increased expressiveness, consider the two examples below.
 A new CUMULATE window function that assigns windows with an expanding step size until the maximum window size is reached:
-SELECT window_time, window_start, window_end, SUM(price) AS total_price FROM TABLE(CUMULATE(TABLE Bid, DESCRIPTOR(bidtime), INTERVAL \u0026#39;2\u0026#39; MINUTES, INTERVAL \u0026#39;10\u0026#39; MINUTES)) GROUP BY window_start, window_end, window_time; You can reference the window start and window end time of the table-valued window functions, making new types of constructs possible. Beyond regular windowed aggregations and windowed joins, you can, for example, now express windowed Top-K aggregations:
-SELECT window_time, ... FROM ( SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY window_start, window_end ORDER BY total_price DESC) as rank FROM t ) WHERE rank \u0026lt;= 100; Improved interoperability between DataStream API and Table API/SQL # This release radically simplifies mixing DataStream API and Table API programs.

 The Table API is a great way to develop applications, with its declarative nature and its many built-in functions. But sometimes, you need to escape to the DataStream API for its expressiveness, flexibility, and explicit control over the state.
 The new methods StreamTableEnvironment.toDataStream()/.fromDataStream() can model a DataStream from the DataStream API as a table source or sink. Notable improvements include:
 Automatic type conversion between the DataStream and Table API type systems.
 Seamless integration of event time configurations; watermarks flow through boundaries for high consistency.
 Enhancements to the Row class (representing row events from the Table API) has received a major overhaul (improving the behavior of toString()/hashCode()/equals() methods) and now supports accessing fields by name, with support for sparse representations.

 This release vastly improves the functionality of the SQL client. Almost all operations as that are available to Java applications (when programmatically launching queries from the TableEnvironment) are now supported in the SQL Client and as SQL scripts. That means SQL users need much less glue code for their SQL deployments.
 Easier Configuration and Code Sharing
 The support of YAML files to configure the SQL Client will be discontinued. Instead, the client accepts one or more initialization scripts to configure a session before the main SQL script gets executed.

 Multi-query execution lets you execute multiple SQL queries (or statements) as a single Flink job. This is particularly useful for streaming SQL queries that run indefinitely.
 Statement Sets are the mechanism to group the queries together that should be executed together.
 The following is an example of a SQL script that can be run via the SQL client. It sets up and configures the environment and executes multiple queries. The script captures end-to-end the queries and all environment setup and configuration work, making it a self-contained deployment artifact.

 Notable PyFlink improvements # The general theme of this release in PyFlink is to bring the Python DataStream API and Table API closer to feature parity with the Java/Scala APIs.
-Stateful operations in the Python DataStream API # With Flink 1.13, Python programmers now also get to enjoy the full potential of Apache Flink\u0026rsquo;s stateful stream processing APIs. The rearchitected Python DataStream API, introduced in Flink 1.12, now has full stateful capabilities, allowing users to remember information from events in the state and act on it later.
+Stateful operations in the Python DataStream API # With Flink 1.13, Python programmers now also get to enjoy the full potential of Apache Flink&rsquo;s stateful stream processing APIs. The rearchitected Python DataStream API, introduced in Flink 1.12, now has full stateful capabilities, allowing users to remember information from events in the state and act on it later.
 That stateful processing capability is the basis of many of the more sophisticated processing operations, which need to remember information across individual events (for example, Windowing Operations).
 This example shows a custom counting window implementation, using state:
-class CountWindowAverage(FlatMapFunction): def __init__(self, window_size): self.window_size = window_size def open(self, runtime_context: RuntimeContext): descriptor = ValueStateDescriptor(\u0026#34;average\u0026#34;, Types.TUPLE([Types.LONG(), Types.LONG()])) self.sum = runtime_context.get_state(descriptor) def flat_map(self, value): current_sum = self.sum.value() if current_sum is None: current_sum = (0, 0) # update the count current_sum = (current_sum[0] + 1, current_sum[1] + value[1]) # if the count reaches window_size, emit the average and clear the state if current_sum[0] \u0026gt;= self.window_size: self.sum.clear() yield value[0], current_sum[1] // current_sum[0] else: self.sum.update(current_sum) ds = ... # type: DataStream ds.key_by(lambda row: row[0]) \\ .flat_map(CountWindowAverage(5)) User-defined Windows in the PyFlink DataStream API # Flink 1.13 adds support for user-defined windows to the PyFlink DataStream API. Programs can now use windows beyond the standard window definitions.

This brings the Python Table API a big step closer to feature parity with the Java Table API.

This brings the Python Table API a big step closer to feature parity with the Java Table API.
 Batch execution mode for PyFlink DataStream programs # The PyFlink DataStream API now also supports the batch execution mode for bounded streams, which was introduced for the Java DataStream API in Flink 1.12.
 The batch execution mode simplifies operations and improves the performance of programs on bounded streams, by exploiting the bounded stream nature to bypass state backends and checkpoints.

Stateful Functions is a cross-platform stack for building Stateful Serverless applications, making it radically simpler to develop scalable, consistent, and elastic distributed applications.
 This new release brings remote functions to the front and center of StateFun, making the disaggregated setup that separates the application logic from the StateFun cluster the default. It is now easier, more efficient, and more ergonomic to write applications that live in their own processes or containers. With the new Java SDK this is now also possible for all JVM languages, in addition to Python.
 Background # Starting with the first StateFun release, before the project was donated to the Apache Software Foundation, our focus was: making scalable stateful applications easy to build and run.
-The first StateFun version introduced an SDK that allowed writing stateful functions that build up a StateFun application packaged and deployed as a particular Flink job submitted to a Flink cluster. Having functions executing within the same JVM as Flink has some advantages, such as the deployment\u0026rsquo;s performance and immutability. However, it had a few limitations:
+The first StateFun version introduced an SDK that allowed writing stateful functions that build up a StateFun application packaged and deployed as a particular Flink job submitted to a Flink cluster. Having functions executing within the same JVM as Flink has some advantages, such as the deployment&rsquo;s performance and immutability. However, it had a few limitations:
 ❌ ⠀Functions can be written only in a JVM based language. ❌ ⠀A blocking call/CPU heavy task in one function can affect other functions and operations that need to complete in a timely manner, such as checkpointing. ❌ ⠀Deploying a new version of the function required a stateful upgrade of the backing Flink job. With StateFun 2.0.0, the debut official release after the project was donated to Apache Flink, the community introduced the concept of remote functions, together with an additional SDK for the Python language. A remote function is a function that executes in a separate process and is invoked via HTTP by the StateFun cluster processes. Remote functions introduce a new and exciting capability: state and compute disaggregation - allowing users to scale the functions independently of the StateFun cluster, which essentially plays the role of handling messaging and state in a consistent and fault-tolerant manner.
 While remote functions did address the limitations (1) and (2) mentioned above, we still had some room to improve:
-❌ ⠀A stateful restart of the StateFun processes is required to register a new function or to change the state definitions of an existing function. ❌ ⠀The SDK had a few friction points around state and messaging ergonomics - it had a heavy dependency on Google’s Protocol Buffers for it’s multi-language object representation. As business requirements evolve, the application logic naturally evolves with it. For StateFun applications, this often means typical changes such as adding new functions to the application or updating some existing functions to include new state to be persisted. This is where the first limitation becomes an issue - such operations require a stateful restart of the StateFun cluster in order for the changes to be discovered, meaning that all functions of the application would have some downtime for this to take effect. With remote functions being standalone instances that are supposedly independent of the StateFun cluster processes, this is obviously non-ideal. By making remote functions the default in StateFun, we\u0026rsquo;re aiming at enabling full flexibility and ease of operations for application upgrades.

By making remote functions the default in StateFun, we&rsquo;re aiming at enabling full flexibility and ease of operations for application upgrades.
 The second limitation around state and messaging ergonomics had came up a few times from our users. Prior to this release, all state values and message objects were strictly required to be Protobuf objects. This made it cumbersome to use common types such as JSON or simple strings as state and messages.
 With the new StateFun 3.0.0 release, the community has enhanced the remote functions protocol (the protocol that describes how StateFun communicates with the remote function processes) to address all the issues mentioned above. Building on the new protocol, we rewrote the Python SDK and introduced a brand new remote Java SDK.
 New Features # Unified Language SDKs # One of the goals that we set up to achieve with the SDKs is a unified set of concepts across all the languages. Having standard and unified SDK concepts across the board makes it straightforward for users to switch the languages their functions are implemented in.
 Here is the same function written with the updated Python SDK and newly added Java SDK in StateFun 3.0.0:
-Python # @functions.bind(typename=\u0026#34;example/greeter\u0026#34;, specs=[ValueSpec(name=\u0026#34;visits\u0026#34;, type=IntType)]) async def greeter(context: Context, message: Message): # update the visit count. visits = context.storage.visits or 0 visits += 1 context.storage.visits = visits # compute a greeting name = message.as_string() greeting = f\u0026#34;Hello there {name} at the {visits}th time!\u0026#34; caller = context.caller context.send(message_builder(target_typename=caller.typename, target_id=caller.id, str_value=greeting)) Java # static final class Greeter implements StatefulFunction { static final ValueSpec\u0026lt;Integer\u0026gt; VISITS = ValueSpec.named(\u0026#34;visits\u0026#34;).withIntType(); @Override public CompletableFuture\u0026lt;Void\u0026gt; apply(Context context, Message message){ // update the visits count int visits = context.storage().get(VISITS).orElse(0); visits++; context.storage().set(VISITS, visits); // compute a greeting var name = message.asUtf8String(); var greeting = String.format(\u0026#34;Hello there %s at the %d-th time!\\n\u0026#34;, name, visits); // reply to the caller with a greeting var caller = context.caller().get(); context.send( MessageBuilder.forAddress(caller) .withValue(greeting) .build() ); return context.done(); } } Although there are some language specific differences, the terms and concepts are the same:
+Python # @functions.bind(typename=&#34;example/greeter&#34;, specs=[ValueSpec(name=&#34;visits&#34;, type=IntType)]) async def greeter(context: Context, message: Message): # update the visit count. visits = context.storage.visits or 0 visits += 1 context.storage.visits = visits # compute a greeting name = message.as_string() greeting = f&#34;Hello there {name} at the {visits}th time!&#34; caller = context.caller context.send(message_builder(target_typename=caller.typename, target_id=caller.id, str_value=greeting)) Java # static final class Greeter implements StatefulFunction { static final ValueSpec&lt;Integer&gt; VISITS = ValueSpec.named(&#34;visits&#34;).withIntType(); @Override public CompletableFuture&lt;Void&gt; apply(Context context, Message message){ // update the visits count int visits = context.storage().get(VISITS).orElse(0); visits++; context.storage().set(VISITS, visits); // compute a greeting var name = message.asUtf8String(); var greeting = String.format(&#34;Hello there %s at the %d-th time!\\n&#34;, name, visits); // reply to the caller with a greeting var caller = context.caller().get(); context.send( MessageBuilder.forAddress(caller) .withValue(greeting) .build() ); return context.done(); } } Although there are some language specific differences, the terms and concepts are the same:
 an address scoped storage acting as a key-value store for a particular address. a unified cross-language way to send, receive, and store values across languages (see also Cross-Language Type System below). ValueSpec to describe the state name, type and possibly expiration configuration. Please note that it is no longer necessary to declare the state ahead of time in a module.yaml. For a detailed SDK tutorial, we would like to encourage you to visit:
-Java SDK showcase Python SDK showcase Cross-Language Type System # StateFun 3.0.0 introduces a new type system with cross-language support for common primitive types, such as boolean, integer, long, etc. This is of course all transparent for the user, so you don\u0026rsquo;t need to worry about it. Functions implemented in various languages (e.g. Java or Python) can message each other by directly sending supported primitive values as message arguments. Moreover, the type system is used for state values as well - so, you can expect that a function can safely read previous state after reimplementing it in a different language.
+Java SDK showcase Python SDK showcase Cross-Language Type System # StateFun 3.0.0 introduces a new type system with cross-language support for common primitive types, such as boolean, integer, long, etc. This is of course all transparent for the user, so you don&rsquo;t need to worry about it. Functions implemented in various languages (e.g. Java or Python) can message each other by directly sending supported primitive values as message arguments. Moreover, the type system is used for state values as well - so, you can expect that a function can safely read previous state after reimplementing it in a different language.
 The type system is also very easily extensible to support custom message types, such as JSON or Protobuf messages. StateFun makes this super easy by providing builder utilities to help you create custom types.
 Dynamic Registration of State and Functions # Starting with this release it is now possible to dynamically register new functions without going through a stateful upgrade cycle of the StateFun cluster (which entails the standard process of performing a stateful restart of a Flink job). This is achieved with a new endpoint definition that supports target URL templating.
 Consider the following definition:
 endpoints: - endpoint: meta: kind: http spec: functions: example/* urlPathTemplate: https://loadbalancer.svc.cluster.local/{function.name} With this definition, all messages being addressed to functions under the namespace example will be forwarded to the specified templated URL. For example, a message being addressed to a function of typename example/greeter would be forwarded to https://loadbalancer.svc.cluster.local/greeter.
 This unlocks the possibility to dynamically introduce new functions into the topology without ever restarting the Stateful Functions application.

+Summary # With 3.0.0, we&rsquo;ve brought remote functions to the front and center of StateFun. This is done by a new remote function protocol that:
 ✅ ⠀Allows registering a new function or changing the state definitions of an existing function to happen dynamically without any downtime, and ✅ ⠀Provides a cross-language type system, which comes along with a few built-in primitive types, that can be used for messaging and state. A new Java SDK was added for remote functions to extend the array of supported languages to also include all JVM based languages. The language SDKs now have unified concepts and constructs in their APIs so that they will all feel familiar to work with when switching around languages for your functions. In upcoming releases, the community is also looking forward to continuing building on top of the new remote function protocol to provide an even more language SDKs, such as Golang.
 Release Resources # The binary distribution and source artifacts are now available on the updated Downloads page of the Flink website, and the most recent Python SDK distribution is available on PyPI. You can also find official StateFun Docker images of the new version on Dockerhub.
 For more details, check the updated documentation and the release notes for a detailed list of changes and new features if you plan to upgrade your setup to Stateful Functions 3.0.0. We encourage you to download the release and share your feedback with the community through the Flink mailing lists or JIRA

With Flink 1.12, the community worked on bringing a similarly unified behaviour to the DataStream API, and took the first steps towards enabling efficient batch execution in the DataStream API.
 The idea behind making the DataStream API a unified abstraction for batch and streaming execution instead of maintaining separate APIs is two-fold:
 Reusability: efficient batch and stream processing under the same API would allow you to easily switch between both execution modes without rewriting any code. So, a job could be easily reused to process real-time and historical data.
 Operational simplicity: providing a unified API would mean using a single set of connectors, maintaining a single codebase and being able to easily implement mixed execution pipelines e.g. for use cases like backfilling.
-The difference between BATCH and STREAMING vs BOUNDED and UNBOUNDED is subtle, and a common source of confusion — so, let\u0026rsquo;s start by clarifying that. These terms might seem mostly interchangeable, but in reality serve different purposes:
+The difference between BATCH and STREAMING vs BOUNDED and UNBOUNDED is subtle, and a common source of confusion — so, let&rsquo;s start by clarifying that. These terms might seem mostly interchangeable, but in reality serve different purposes:
 Bounded and unbounded refer to the characteristics of the streams you want to process: whether or not they are known to have an end. The terms are also sometimes applied to the applications processing these streams: an application that only processes bounded streams is a bounded stream processing application that eventually finishes; while an unbounded stream processing application processes an unbounded stream and runs forever (or until canceled).
 Batch and streaming are execution modes. Batch execution is only applicable to bounded streams/applications because it exploits the fact that it can process the whole data (e.g. from a partition) in a batch rather than event-by-event, and possibly execute different batches one after the other. Continuous streaming execution runs everything at the same time, continuously processes (small groups of) events and is applicable to both bounded and unbounded applications.
 Based on that differentiation, there are two main scenarios that result of the combination of these properties:
-A bounded Stream Processing Application that is executed in a batch mode, which you can call a Batch (Processing) Application. An unbounded Stream Processing Application that is executed in a streaming mode. This is the combination that has been the primary use case for the DataStream API in Flink. It\u0026rsquo;s also possible to have a bounded Stream Processing Application that is executed in streaming mode, but this combination is less significant and likely to be used e.g. in a test environment or in other rare corner cases.

 Which API and execution mode should I use? # Before going into the choice of execution mode, try looking at your use case from a different angle: do you need to process structured data? Does your data have a schema of some sort? The Table API/SQL will most likely be the right choice. In fact, the majority of batch use cases should be expressed with the Table API/SQL! Finite, bounded data can most often be organized, described with a schema and put into a catalog. This is where the SQL API shines, giving you a rich set of functions and operators out-of-the box with low-level optimizations and broad connector support, all supported by standard SQL. And it works for streaming use cases, as well!
 However, if you need explicit control over the execution graph, you want to manually control the state of your operations, or you need to be able to upgrade Flink (which applies to unbounded applications), the DataStream API is the right choice. If the DataStream API sounds like the best fit for your use cases, the next decision is what execution mode to run your program in.
 When should you use the batch mode, then?
 The simple answer is if you run your computation on bounded, historic data. The batch mode has a few benefits:
-In bounded data there is no such thing as late data. You do not need to think how to adjust the watermarking logic that you use in your application. In a streaming case, you need to maintain the order in which the records were written - which is often not possible to recreate when reading from e.g. historic files. In batch mode you don\u0026rsquo;t need to care about that as the data will be sorted according to the timestamp and \u0026ldquo;perfect\u0026rdquo; watermarks will be injected automatically. The way streaming applications are scheduled and react upon failure have significant performance implications that can be optimized when dealing with bounded data. We recommend reading through the blogposts on pipelined region scheduling and fine-grained fault tolerance to better understand these performance implications. It can simplify the operational overhead of setting up and maintaining your pipelines. For example, there is no need to configure checkpointing, which otherwise requires things like choosing a state backend or setting up distributed storage for checkpoints. How to use the batch execution # Once you have a good understanding of which execution mode is better suited to your use case, you can configure it via the execution.runtime-mode setting. There are three possible values:

 STREAMING: The classic DataStream execution mode (default) BATCH: Batch-style execution on the DataStream API AUTOMATIC: Let the system decide based on the boundedness of the sources This can be configured via command line parameters of bin/flink run ... when submitting a job:
 $ bin/flink run -Dexecution.runtime-mode=BATCH examples/streaming/WordCount.jar , or programmatically when creating/configuring the StreamExecutionEnvironment
 StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); env.setRuntimeMode(RuntimeExecutionMode.BATCH); We recommend passing the execution mode when submitting the job, in order to keep your code configuration-free and potentially be able to execute the same application in different execution modes.

-Example: Two input operators # Operators that process data from multiple inputs can be executed in both execution modes as well. Let\u0026rsquo;s see how we may implement a join of two data sets on a common key. (Disclaimer: Make sure to think first if you should use the Table API/SQL for your join!). We will enrich a stream of orders with information about the customer and we will make it run either of the two modes.
-For this particular use case, the DataStream API provides a DataStream#join method that requires a window in which the join must happen; since we\u0026rsquo;ll process the data in bulk, we can use a GlobalWindow (that would otherwise not be very useful on its own in an unbounded case due to state size concerns):

It is there for the application to produce results in a streaming mode. In a streaming application the GlobalWindow never finishes so we need to add a processing time trigger to emit results from time to time. We believe triggers are a way to control when to emit results, but are not part of the logic what to emit. Therefore we think it is safe to ignore those in case of batch mode and that\u0026rsquo;s what we do. In batch mode you will just get one final result for the join.

 Looking into the future # Support for efficient batch execution in the DataStream API was introduced in Flink 1.12 as a first step towards achieving a truly unified runtime for both batch and stream processing. This is not the end of the story yet! The community is still working on some optimizations and exploring more use cases that can be enabled with this new mode.
-One of the first efforts we want to finalize is providing world-class support for transactional sinks in both execution modes, for bounded and unbounded streams. An experimental API for transactional sinks was already introduced in Flink 1.12, so we\u0026rsquo;re working on stabilizing it and would be happy to hear feedback about its current state!

-Having a mixed graph, where one of the branches would have only bounded sources and the other would reflect the unbounded part — you can think of such a graph as effectively two separate jobs. The bounded part would be executed first and sink into the state of a common vertex of the two parts. This jobs\u0026rsquo; purpose would be to populate the state of the common operator. Once that job is done, we could proceed to running the unbounded part.
-Another approach is to run the exact same program first on the bounded data. However, this time we wouldn\u0026rsquo;t assume completeness of the job; instead, we would produce the state of all operators up to a certain point in time and store it as a savepoint. Later on, we could use the savepoint to start the application on the unbounded data.
-Lastly, to achieve feature parity with the DataSet API (Flink\u0026rsquo;s legacy API for batch-style execution), we are looking into the topic of iterations and how to meet the different usage patterns depending on the mode. In STREAMING mode, iterations serve as a loopback edge, but we don\u0026rsquo;t necessarily need to keep track of the iteration step. On the other hand, the iteration generation is vital for Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, which are the primary use case for iterations in BATCH mode.

 Native Flink on Kubernetes Integration # Before we dive into the technical details of how the Kubernetes-based HA service works, let us briefly explain what native means in the context of Flink deployments on Kubernetes:
 Flink is self-contained. There will be an embedded Kubernetes client in the Flink client, and so you will not need other external tools (e.g. kubectl, Kubernetes dashboard) to create a Flink cluster on Kubernetes.
 The Flink client will contact the Kubernetes API server directly to create the JobManager deployment. The configuration located on the client side will be shipped to the JobManager pod, as well as the log4j and Hadoop configurations.
 Flink’s ResourceManager will talk to the Kubernetes API server to allocate and release the TaskManager pods dynamically on-demand.
 All in all, this is similar to how Flink integrates with other resource management systems (e.g. YARN, Mesos), so it should be somewhat straightforward to integrate with Kubernetes if you’ve managed such deployments before — and especially if you already had some internal deployer for the lifecycle management of multiple Flink jobs.
 Fig. 1: Architecture of Flink's native Kubernetes integration. Kubernetes High Availability Service # High Availability (HA) is a common requirement when bringing Flink to production: it helps prevent a single point of failure for Flink clusters. Previous to the 1.12 release, Flink has provided a Zookeeper HA service that has been widely used in production setups and that can be integrated in standalone cluster, YARN, or Kubernetes deployments. However, managing a Zookeeper cluster on Kubernetes for HA would require an additional operational cost that could be avoided because, in the end, Kubernetes also provides some public APIs for leader election and configuration storage (i.e. ConfigMap). From Flink 1.12, we leverage these features to make running a HA-configured Flink cluster on Kubernetes more convenient to users.
-Fig. 2: Architecture of Flink's Kubernetes High Availability (HA) service. The above diagram shows the architecture of Flink’s Kubernetes HA service, which works as follows: For the leader election, a set of eligible JobManagers is identified. They all race to declare themselves as the leader, with one eventually becoming the active leader. The active JobManager then continually \u0026ldquo;heartbeats\u0026rdquo; to renew its position as the leader. In the meantime, all other standby JobManagers periodically make new attempts to become the leader — this ensures that the JobManager could failover quickly. Different components (e.g. ResourceManager, JobManager, Dispatcher, RestEndpoint) have separate leader election services and ConfigMaps.
+Fig. 2: Architecture of Flink's Kubernetes High Availability (HA) service. The above diagram shows the architecture of Flink’s Kubernetes HA service, which works as follows: For the leader election, a set of eligible JobManagers is identified. They all race to declare themselves as the leader, with one eventually becoming the active leader. The active JobManager then continually &ldquo;heartbeats&rdquo; to renew its position as the leader. In the meantime, all other standby JobManagers periodically make new attempts to become the leader — this ensures that the JobManager could failover quickly. Different components (e.g. ResourceManager, JobManager, Dispatcher, RestEndpoint) have separate leader election services and ConfigMaps.
 The active leader publishes its address to the ConfigMap. It’s important to note that Flink will use the same ConfigMap for contending lock and storing the leader address. This ensures that there is no unexpected change snuck in during a periodic update.
 The leader retrieval service is used to find the active leader’s address and allow the components to then register themselves. For example, TaskManagers retrieve the address of ResourceManager and JobManager for registration and to offer slots. Flink uses a Kubernetes watch in the leader retrieval service — once the content of ConfigMap changes, it usually means that the leader has changed, and so the listener can get the latest leader address immediately.
 All other meta information (e.g. running jobs, job graphs, completed checkpoints and checkpointer counter) will be directly stored in the corresponding ConfigMaps. Only the leader can update the ConfigMap. The HA data will only be cleaned up once the Flink cluster reaches the global terminal state. Please note that only the pointers are stored in the ConfigMap; the concrete data will be stored in the DistributedStorage. This level of indirection is necessary to keep the amount of data in ConfigMap small (ConfigMap is built for data less than 1MB whereas state can grow to multiple GBs).

 Conclusion # The native Kubernetes integration was first introduced in Flink 1.10, abstracting a lot of the complexities of hosting, configuring, managing and operating Flink clusters in cloud-native environments. After three major releases, the community has made great progress in supporting multiple deployment modes (i.e. session and application) and an alternative HA setup that doesn’t depend on Zookeeper.
 Compared with standalone Kubernetes deployments, the native integration is more user-friendly and requires less upfront knowledge about Kubernetes. Given that Flink is now aware of the underlying Kubernetes cluster, it also can benefit from dynamic resource allocation and make more efficient use of Kubernetes cluster resources. The next building block to deepen Flink’s native integration with Kubernetes is the pod template (FLINK-15656), which will greatly enhance the flexibility of using advanced Kubernetes features (e.g. volumes, init container, sidecar container). This work is already in progress and will be added in the upcoming 1.13 release!

 This release includes 79 fixes and minor improvements for Flink 1.12.0. The list below includes a detailed list of all fixes and improvements.
 We highly recommend all users to upgrade to Flink 1.12.1.
 Attention: Using unaligned checkpoints in Flink 1.12.0 combined with two/multiple inputs tasks or with union inputs for single input tasks can result in corrupted state. This can happen if a new checkpoint is triggered before recovery is fully completed. For state to be corrupted a task with two or more input gates must receive a checkpoint barrier exactly at the same time this tasks finishes recovering spilled in-flight data. In such case this new checkpoint can succeed, with corrupted/missing in-flight data, which will result in various deserialisation/corrupted data stream errors when someone attempts to recover from such corrupted checkpoint.
 Using unaligned checkpoints in Flink 1.12.1, a corruption may occur in the checkpoint following a declined checkpoint.
 A late barrier of a canceled checkpoint may lead to buffers being not written into the successive checkpoint, such that recovery is not possible. This happens, when the next checkpoint barrier arrives at a given operator before all previous barriers arrived, which can only happen after cancellation in unaligned checkpoints.

In Flink, the remembered information, i.e., state, is stored locally in the configured state backend. To prevent data loss in case of failures, the state backend periodically persists a snapshot of its contents to a pre-configured durable storage. The RocksDB state backend (i.e., RocksDBStateBackend) is one of the three built-in state backends in Flink.

 State in Flink # To best understand state and state backends in Flink, it’s important to distinguish between in-flight state and state snapshots. In-flight state, also known as working state, is the state a Flink job is working on. It is always stored locally in memory (with the possibility to spill to disk) and can be lost when jobs fail without impacting job recoverability. State snapshots, i.e., checkpoints and savepoints, are stored in a remote durable storage, and are used to restore the local state in the case of job failures. The appropriate state backend for a production deployment depends on scalability, throughput, and latency requirements.
 What is RocksDB? # Thinking of RocksDB as a distributed database that needs to run on a cluster and to be managed by specialized administrators is a common misconception. RocksDB is an embeddable persistent key-value store for fast storage. It interacts with Flink via the Java Native Interface (JNI). The picture below shows where RocksDB fits in a Flink cluster node. Details are explained in the following sections.

 How to use RocksDBStateBackend # RocksDB is fully embedded within and fully managed by the TaskManager process. RocksDBStateBackend can be configured at the cluster level as the default for the entire cluster, or at the job level for individual jobs. The job level configuration takes precedence over the cluster level configuration.
 Cluster Level # Add the following configuration in conf/flink-conf.yaml:
 state.backend: rocksdb state.backend.incremental: true state.checkpoints.dir: hdfs:///flink-checkpoints # location to store checkpoints Job Level # Add the following into your job’s code after StreamExecutionEnvironment is created:

To round it off, we’ll explore some best practices and a few reference points for further troubleshooting and performance tuning.
 State Location in RocksDB # As mentioned earlier, in-flight state in RocksDBStateBackend is spilled to files on disk. These files are located under the directory specified by the Flink configuration state.backend.rocksdb.localdir. Because disk performance has a direct impact on RocksDB’s performance, it’s recommended that this directory is located on a local disk. It’s discouraged to configure it to a remote network-based location like NFS or HDFS, as writing to remote disks is usually slower. Also high availability is not a requirement for in-flight state. Local SSD disks are preferred if high disk throughput is required.
 State snapshots are persisted to remote durable storage. During state snapshotting, TaskManagers take a snapshot of the in-flight state and store it remotely. Transferring the state snapshot to remote storage is handled purely by the TaskManager itself without the involvement of the state backend. So, state.checkpoints.dir or the parameter you set in the code for a particular job can be different locations like an on-premises HDFS cluster or a cloud-based object store like Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Alibaba OSS, etc.
 Troubleshooting RocksDB # To check how RocksDB is behaving in production, you should look for the RocksDB log file named LOG. By default, this log file is located in the same directory as your data files, i.e., the directory specified by the Flink configuration state.backend.rocksdb.localdir. When enabled, RocksDB statistics are also logged there to help diagnose potential problems. For further information, check RocksDB Troubleshooting Guide in RocksDB Wiki.

 While data is being written or overwritten in RocksDB, flushing from memory to local disks and data compaction are managed in the background by RocksDB threads. On a machine with many CPU cores, you should increase the parallelism of background flushing and compaction by setting the Flink configuration state.backend.rocksdb.thread.num (corresponding to max_background_jobs in RocksDB). The default configuration is usually too small for a production setup. If your job reads frequently from RocksDB, you should consider enabling bloom filters.
 For other RocksDBStateBackend configurations, check the Flink documentation on Advanced RocksDB State Backends Options. For further tuning, check RocksDB Tuning Guide in RocksDB Wiki.
 Conclusion # The RocksDB state backend (i.e., RocksDBStateBackend) is one of the three state backends bundled in Flink, and can be a powerful choice when configuring your streaming applications. It enables scalable applications maintaining up to many terabytes of state with exactly-once processing guarantees. If the state of your Flink job is too large to fit on the JVM heap, you are interested in incremental checkpointing, or you expect to have predictable latency, you should use RocksDBStateBackend. Since RocksDB is embedded in TaskManager processes as native threads and works with files on local disks, RocksDBStateBackend is supported out-of-the-box without the need to further setup and manage any external systems or processes.

It can process incoming data within a few milliseconds or crunch through petabytes of bounded datasets (also known as batch processing).
 Processing efficiency is not the only parameter users of data processing systems care about. In the real world, system outages due to hardware or software failure are expected to happen all the time. For unbounded (or streaming) workloads, Flink is using periodic checkpoints to allow for reliable and correct recovery. In case of bounded data sets, having a reliable recovery mechanism is mission critical — as users do not want to potentially lose many hours of intermediate processing results.
 Apache Flink 1.9 introduced fine-grained recovery into its internal workload scheduler. The Flink APIs that are made for bounded workloads benefit from this change by individually recovering failed operators, re-using results from the previous processing step.
 In this blog post, we are going to give an overview over these changes, and we will experimentally validate their effectiveness.
 How does fine-grained recovery work? # For streaming jobs (and in pipelined mode for batch jobs), Flink is using a coarse-grained restart-strategy: upon failure, the entire job is restarted (but streaming jobs have an entirely different fault-tolerance model, using checkpointing)
 For batch jobs, we can use a more sophisticated recovery strategy, by using cached intermediate results, thus only restarting parts of the pipeline.
-Let’s look at the topology below: Some connections are pipelined (between A1 and B1, as well as A2 and B2) \u0026ndash; data is immediately streamed from operator A1 to B1.
-However the output of B1 and B2 is cached on disk (indicated by the grey box). We call such connections blocking. If there’s a failure in the steps succeeding B1 and B2 and the results of B1 and B2 have already been produced, we don’t need to reprocess this part of the pipeline \u0026ndash; we can reuse the cached result.
-Looking at the case of a failure (here of D2), we see that we do not need to restart the entire job. Restarting C2 and all dependent tasks is sufficient. This is possible because we can read the cached results of B1 and B2. We call this recovery mechanism “fine-grained”, as we only restart parts of the topology to recover from a failure \u0026ndash; reducing the recovery time, resource consumption and overall job runtime.

 Cluster: We were running 4 TaskManagers with 2 slots each and 1 JobManager in standalone mode.
 Running this test job takes roughly 15 minutes with the given hardware and data.
 For inducing failures into the job, we decided to randomly throw exceptions in the operators. This has a number of benefits compared to randomly killing entire TaskManagers:
-Killing a TaskManager would require starting and registering a new TaskManager — which introduces an uncontrollable factor into our benchmark: We don\u0026rsquo;t want to test how quickly Flink is reconciling a cluster. Killing an entire TaskManager would bring down on average 1/4th of all running operators. In larger production setups, a failure usually affects only a smaller fraction of all running operators. The differences between the execution modes would be less obvious if we killed entire TaskManagers. Keeping TaskManagers across failures helps to better simulate using an external shuffle service, as intermediate results are preserved despite a failure. The failures are controlled by a central \u0026ldquo;failure coordinator\u0026rdquo; which decides when to kill which operator.

 The Experiment # We were running the job with two parameters which we varied in the benchmark:
 Execution Mode: BATCH or PIPELINED.
@@ -2202,9 +2257,9 @@
 We will now discuss some findings:
 Execution time with rare failures: Looking at the first few results on the left, where we compare the behavior with a mean failure frequency of 15 (=900s), 10 (=600s), 9 (=540s), 8 (=480s), 7 (=420s) minutes. The execution times are mostly the same, around 15 minutes. The batch execution time is usually lower, and more predictable. This behavior is easy to explain. If an error occurred later in the execution, the pipelined mode needs to start from scratch, while the batch mode can re-use previous intermediate results. The variances in runtime can be explained by statistical effects: if an error happens to be induced close to the end of a pipelined mode run, the entire job needs to rerun. Execution time with frequent failures: The results “in the middle”, with failure frequencies of 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2 minutes show that the pipelined mode execution gets unfeasible at some point: If failures happen on average every 3 minutes, the average execution time reaches more than 60 minutes, for failures every 2 minutes the time spikes to more than 120 minutes. The pipelined job is unable to finish the execution, only if we happen to find a window where no failure is induced for 15 minutes, the pipelined job manages to produce the final result. For more frequent failures, the pipelined mode did not manage to finish at all. How many failures can the batch mode sustain? The last numbers, with failure frequencies between 60 and 20 seconds are probably a bit unrealistic for real world scenarios. But we wanted to investigate how frequent failures can become for the batch mode to become unfeasible. With failures induced every 30 seconds, the average execution time is 30 minutes. In other words, even if you have two failures per minute, your execution time only doubles in this case. The batch mode is much more predictable and well behaved when it comes to execution times. Conclusion # Based on these results, it makes a lot of sense to use the batch execution mode for batch workloads, as the resource consumption and overall execution times are substantially lower compared to the pipelined execution mode.
 In general, we recommend conducting your own performance experiments on your own hardware and with your own workloads, as results might vary from what we’ve presented here. Despite the findings here, the pipelined mode probably has some performance advantages in environments with rare failures and slower I/O (for example when using spinning disks, or network attached disks). On the other hand, CPU intensive workloads might benefit from the batch mode even in slow I/O environments.
-We should also note that the caching (and subsequent reprocessing on failure) only works if the cached results are still present \u0026ndash; this is currently only the case, if the TaskManager survives a failure. However, this is an unrealistic assumption as many failures would cause the TaskManager process to die. To mitigate this limitation, data processing frameworks employ external shuffle services that persist the cached results independent of the data processing framework. Since Flink 1.9, there is support for a pluggable shuffle service, and there are tickets for adding implementations for YARN (FLINK-13247) and Kubernetes (FLINK-13246). Once these implementations are added, TaskManagers can recover cached results even if the process or machine got killed.

 With more users adopting the Pulsar Flink Connector, it became clear that one of the common issues was evolving around data formats and specifically performing serialization and deserialization. While the Pulsar Flink connector leverages the Pulsar serialization, the previous connector versions did not support the Flink data format. As a result, users had to manually configure their setup in order to use the connector for real-time computing scenarios.

-To solve serialization issues, we changed the signature of the construction method FlinkPulsarSink, and added PulsarSerializationSchema. We removed inappropriate classes related to row, such as FlinkPulsarRowSink, FlinkPulsarRowSource. If you need to deal with Row formats, you can use Apache Flink\u0026rsquo;s Row related serialization components. You can build PulsarSerializationSchema by using PulsarSerializationSchemaWrapper.Builder. TopicKeyExtractor is moved into PulsarSerializationSchemaWrapper. When you adjust your API, you can take the following sample as reference.

The new solution will overcome the limitations of the current streaming source interface (SourceFunction) and simultaneously unify the source interfaces between the batch and streaming APIs.
 Pulsar offers a hierarchical architecture where data is divided into streaming, batch, and cold data, which enables Pulsar to provide infinite capacity. This makes Pulsar an ideal solution for unified batch and streaming.
 The batch and stream solution based on the new Flink Source API is divided into two simple parts: SplitEnumerator and Reader. SplitEnumerator discovers and assigns partitions, and Reader reads data from the partition.
 Apache Pulsar stores messages in the ledger block for users to locate the ledgers through Pulsar admin, and then provide broker partition, BookKeeper partition, Offloader partition, and other information through different partitioning policies. For more details, you can refer here.
 Conclusion # The latest version of the Pulsar Flink Connector is now available and we encourage everyone to use/upgrade to the Pulsar Flink Connector 2.7.0. The new version provides significant user enhancements, enabled by various features in Pulsar 2.7 and Flink 1.12. We will be contributing the Pulsar Flink Connector 2.7.0 to the Apache Flink repository soon. If you have any questions or concerns about the Pulsar Flink Connector, feel free to open issues in this repository.

 The most important change of this bugfix release is upgrading Apache Flink to version 1.11.3. In addition to many stability fixes to the Flink runtime itself, this also allows StateFun applications to safely use savepoints to upgrade from older versions earlier than StateFun 2.2.1. Previously, restoring from savepoints could have failed under certain conditions.
 We strongly recommend all users to upgrade to 2.2.2.
 You can find the binaries on the updated Downloads page.
 This release includes 5 fixes and minor improvements since StateFun 2.2.1. Below is a detailed list of all fixes and improvements:
-Improvement [FLINK-20699] - Feedback invocation_id must not be constant.

 Support for Sort-Merge Shuffles (FLIP-148)
 To improve the stability, performance and resource utilization of large-scale batch jobs, the community introduced sort-merge shuffle as an alternative to the original shuffle implementation that Flink already used. This approach can reduce shuffle time significantly, and uses fewer file handles and file write buffers (which is problematic for large-scale jobs). Further optimizations will be implemented in upcoming releases (FLINK-19614).
 Attention: This feature is experimental and not enabled by default. To enable sort-merge shuffles, you can configure a reasonable minimum parallelism threshold in the TaskManager network configuration options. Improvements to the Flink WebUI (FLIP-75)
-As a continuation of the series of improvements to the Flink WebUI kicked off in the last release, the community worked on exposing JobManager\u0026rsquo;s memory-related metrics and configuration parameters on the WebUI (FLIP-104). The TaskManager\u0026rsquo;s metrics page has also been updated to reflect the changes to the TaskManager memory model introduced in Flink 1.10 (FLIP-102), adding new metrics for Managed Memory, Network Memory and Metaspace.

 Table API/SQL: Metadata Handling in SQL Connectors # Some sources (and formats) expose additional fields as metadata that can be valuable for users to process along with record data. A common example is Kafka, where you might want to e.g. access offset, partition or topic information, read/write the record key or use embedded metadata timestamps for time-based operations. With the new release, Flink SQL supports metadata columns to read and write connector- and format-specific fields for every row of a table (FLIP-107). These columns are declared in the CREATE TABLE statement using the METADATA (reserved) keyword.
-CREATE TABLE kafka_table ( id BIGINT, name STRING, event_time TIMESTAMP(3) METADATA FROM \u0026#39;timestamp\u0026#39;, -- access Kafka \u0026#39;timestamp\u0026#39; metadata headers MAP\u0026lt;STRING, BYTES\u0026gt; METADATA -- access Kafka \u0026#39;headers\u0026#39; metadata ) WITH ( \u0026#39;connector\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;kafka\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;topic\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;test-topic\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;format\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;avro\u0026#39; ); In Flink 1.12, metadata is exposed for the Kafka and Kinesis connectors, with work on the FileSystem connector already planned (FLINK-19903). Due to the more complex structure of Kafka records, new properties were also specifically implemented for the Kafka connector to control how to handle the key/value pairs. For a complete overview of metadata support in Flink SQL, check the documentation for each connector, as well as the motivating use cases in the original proposal.

 Table API/SQL: Upsert Kafka Connector # For some use cases, like interpreting compacted topics or writing out (updating) aggregated results, it’s necessary to handle Kafka record keys as true primary keys that can determine what should be inserted, deleted or updated. To enable this, the community created a dedicated upsert connector (upsert-kafka) that extends the base implementation to work in upsert mode (FLIP-149).
 The new upsert-kafka connector can be used for sources and sinks, and provides the same base functionality and persistence guarantees as the existing Kafka connector, as it reuses most of its code under the hood. To use the upsert-kafka connector, you must define a primary key constraint on table creation, as well as specify the (de)serialization format for the key (key.format) and value (value.format).
 Table API/SQL: Support for Temporal Table Joins in SQL # Instead of creating a temporal table function to look up against a table at a certain point in time, you can now simply use the standard SQL clause FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF (SQL:2011) to express a temporal table join. In addition, temporal joins are now supported against any kind of table that has a time attribute and a primary key, and not just append-only tables. This unlocks a new set of use cases, like performing temporal joins directly against Kafka compacted topics or database changelogs (e.g. from Debezium).
--- Table backed by a Kafka topic CREATE TABLE orders ( order_id STRING, currency STRING, amount INT, order_time TIMESTAMP(3), WATERMARK FOR order_time AS order_time - INTERVAL \u0026#39;30\u0026#39; SECOND ) WITH ( \u0026#39;connector\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;kafka\u0026#39;, ... ); -- Table backed by a Kafka compacted topic CREATE TABLE latest_rates ( currency STRING, currency_rate DECIMAL(38, 10), currency_time TIMESTAMP(3), WATERMARK FOR currency_time AS currency_time - INTERVAL \u0026#39;5\u0026#39; SECOND, PRIMARY KEY (currency) NOT ENFORCED ) WITH ( \u0026#39;connector\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;upsert-kafka\u0026#39;, ... ); -- Event-time temporal table join SELECT o.order_id, o.order_time, o.amount * r.currency_rate AS amount, r.currency FROM orders AS o JOIN latest_rates FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF o.order_time r ON o.currency = r.currency; The previous example also shows how you can take advantage of the new upsert-kafka connector in the context of temporal table joins.

 Hive Tables in Temporal Table Joins
 You can also perform temporal table joins against Hive tables by either automatically reading the latest table partition as a temporal table (FLINK-19644) or the whole table as a bounded stream tracking the latest version at execution time. Refer to the documentation for examples of using Hive tables in temporal table joins.

 Other Improvements to PyFlink # PyFlink Jobs on Kubernetes (FLINK-17480)
 In addition to standalone and YARN deployments, PyFlink jobs can now also be deployed natively on Kubernetes. The deployment documentation has detailed instructions on how to start a session or application cluster on Kubernetes.
 User-defined Aggregate Functions (UDAFs)
 From Flink 1.12, you can define and register UDAFs in PyFlink (FLIP-139). In contrast to a normal UDF, which doesn’t handle state and operates on a single row at a time, a UDAF is stateful and can be used to compute custom aggregations over multiple input rows. To benefit from vectorization, you can also use Pandas UDAFs (FLIP-137) (up to 10x faster).
 Note: General UDAFs are only supported for group aggregations and in _streaming_ mode. For _batch_ mode or window aggregations, use Pandas UDAFs. Important Changes # [FLINK-19319] The default stream time characteristic has been changed to EventTime, so you no longer need to call StreamExecutionEnvironment.setStreamTimeCharacteristic() to enable event time support.

+Towards unified scheduling # Flink has an internal scheduler to distribute work to all available cluster nodes, taking resource utilization, state locality and recovery into account. How do you write a scheduler for a unified batch and streaming system? To answer this question, let&rsquo;s first have a look into the high-level differences between batch and streaming scheduling requirements.
 Streaming # Streaming jobs usually require that all operator subtasks are running in parallel at the same time, for an indefinite time. Therefore, all the required resources to run these jobs have to be provided upfront, and all operator subtasks must be deployed at once.
 Flink: Streaming job example Because there are no finite intermediate results, a streaming job always has to be restarted fully from a checkpoint or a savepoint in case of failure.
 Note A _streaming job_ may generally consist of multiple disjoint pipelines which can be restarted independently. Hence, the full job restart is not required in this case but you can think of each disjoint pipeline as if it were a separate job. Batch # In contrast to streaming jobs, batch jobs usually consist of one or more stages that can have dependencies between them. Each stage will only run for a finite amount of time and produce some finite output (i.e. at some point, the batch job will be finished). Independent stages can run in parallel to improve execution time, but for cases where there are dependencies between stages, a stage may have to wait for upstream results to be produced before it can run. These are called blocking results, and in this case stages cannot run in parallel.

 A practical example # Let’s take a closer look at the specific case of batch jobs, using as motivation a simple SQL query:
 CREATE TABLE customers ( customerId int, name varchar(255) ); CREATE TABLE orders ( orderId int, orderCustomerId int ); --fill tables with data SELECT customerId, name FROM customers, orders WHERE customerId = orderCustomerId Assume that two tables were created in some database: the customers table is relatively small and fits into the local memory (or also on disk). The orders table is bigger, as it contains all orders created by customers, and doesn’t fit in memory. To enrich the orders with the customer name, you have to join these two tables. There are basically two stages in this batch job:
 Load the complete customers table into a local map: (customerId, name); because this table is smaller, Process the orders table record by record, enriching it with the name value from the map. Executing the job # The batch job described above will have three operators. For simplicity, each operator is represented with a parallelism of 1, so the resulting ExecutionGraph will consist of three subtasks: A, B and C.
-A: load full customers table B: load orders table record by record in a streaming (pipelined) fashion C: join order table records with the loaded customer table This translates into A and C being connected with a blocking data exchange, because the customers table needs to be loaded locally (A) before we start processing the order table (B). B and C are connected with a pipelined data exchange, because the consumer (C) can run as soon as the first result records from B have been produced. You can think of B-\u0026gt;C as a finite streaming job. It’s then possible to identify two separate stages within the ExecutionGraph: A and B-\u0026gt;C.

 Flink: SQL Join job example Scheduling Limitations # Imagine that the cluster this job will run in has only one slot and can therefore only execute one subtask. If Flink deploys B chained with C first into this one slot (as B and C are connected with a pipelined edge), C cannot run because A has not produced its blocking result yet. Flink will try to deploy A and the job will fail, because there are no more slots. If there were two slots available, Flink would be able to deploy A and the job would eventually succeed. Nonetheless, the resources of the first slot occupied by B and C would be wasted while A was running.
 Both scheduling strategies available as of Flink 1.11 (“all at once” and “lazy from source”) would be affected by these limitations. What would be the optimal approach? In this case, if A was deployed first, then B and C could also complete afterwards using the same slot. The job would succeed even if only a single slot was available.
-Note If we could load the \`orders\` table into local memory (making B -\u003e C blocking), then the previous strategy would also succeed with one slot. Nonetheless, we would have to allocate a lot of resources to accommodate the table locally, which may not be required. Last but not least, let’s consider what happens in the case of failover: if the processing of the orders table fails (B-\u0026gt;C), then we do not have to reload the customer table (A); we only need to restart B-\u0026gt;C. This did not work prior to Flink 1.9.

 To satisfy the scheduling requirements for batch and streaming and overcome these limitations, the Flink community has worked on a new unified scheduling and failover strategy that is suitable for both types of workloads: pipelined region scheduling.
 The new pipelined region scheduling # As you read in the previous introductory sections, an optimal scheduler should efficiently allocate resources for the sub-stages of the pipeline, finite or infinite, running in a streaming fashion. Those stages are called pipelined regions in Flink. In this section, we will take a deeper dive into pipelined region scheduling and failover.
 Pipelined regions # The new scheduling strategy analyses the ExecutionGraph before starting the subtask deployment in order to identify its pipelined regions. A pipelined region is a subset of subtasks in the ExecutionGraph connected by pipelined data exchanges. Subtasks from different pipelined regions are connected only by blocking data exchanges. The depicted example of an ExecutionGraph has four pipelined regions and subtasks, A to H:

 Slots and resources # A TaskManager instance has a certain number of virtual slots. Each slot represents a certain part of the TaskManager’s physical resources to run the operator subtasks, and each subtask is deployed into a slot of the TaskManager. A slot can run multiple subtasks from different operators at the same time, usually chained together.
 Scheduling strategy # Scheduling in Flink is a process of searching for and allocating appropriate resources (slots) from the TaskManagers to run the subtasks and produce results. The scheduling strategy reacts on scheduling events (like start job, subtask failed or finished etc) to decide which subtask to deploy next.
 For instance, it does not make sense to schedule subtasks whose inputs are not ready to consume yet to avoid wasting resources. Another example is to schedule subtasks which are connected with pipelined edges together, to avoid deadlocks caused by backpressure.

 This release fixes a critical bug that causes restoring the Stateful Functions cluster from snapshots (checkpoints or savepoints) to fail under certain conditions. Starting from this release, StateFun now creates snapshots with a more robust format that allows it to be restored safely going forward.
 We strongly recommend all users to upgrade to 2.2.1. Please see the following sections on instructions and things to keep in mind for this upgrade.
 For new users just starting out with Stateful Functions # We strongly recommend to skip all previous versions and start using StateFun from version 2.2.1. This guarantees that failure recovery from checkpoints, or application upgrades using savepoints will work as expected for you.
-For existing users on versions \u0026lt;= 2.2.0 # Users that are currently using older versions of StateFun may or may not be able to directly upgrade to 2.2.1 using savepoints taken with the older versions. The Flink community is working hard on a follow-up hotfix release, 2.2.2, that would guarantee that you can perform the upgrade smoothly. For the meantime, you may still try to upgrade to 2.2.1 first, but may encounter FLINK-19741 or FLINK-19748. If you do encounter this, do not worry about data loss; this simply means that the restore failed, and you’d have to wait until 2.2.2 is out in order to upgrade.

 State in Streaming Applications # Simply put, state is the information that you need to remember across events. Even the most trivial streaming applications are typically stateful because of their need to “remember” the exact position they are processing data from, for example in the form of a Kafka Partition Offset or a File Offset. In addition, many applications hold state internally as a way to support their internal operations, such as windows, aggregations, joins, or state machines.
-For the remainder of this article, we\u0026rsquo;ll use the following example showing a streaming application consisting of four operators, each one holding some state.
+For the remainder of this article, we&rsquo;ll use the following example showing a streaming application consisting of four operators, each one holding some state.
 State Persistence through Checkpoints # Streaming applications are long-lived. They inevitably experience hardware and software failures but should, ideally, look from the outside as if no failure ever happened. Since applications are long-lived — and can potentially accumulate very large state —, recomputing partial results after failures can take quite some time, and so a way to persist and recover this (potentially very large) application state is necessary.
 Flink relies on its state checkpointing and recovery mechanism to implement such behavior, as shown in the figure below. Periodic checkpoints store a snapshot of the application’s state on some Checkpoint Storage (commonly an Object Store or Distributed File System, like S3, HDFS, GCS, Azure Blob Storage, etc.). When a failure is detected, the affected parts of the application are reset to the state of the latest checkpoint (either by a local reset or by loading the state from the checkpoint storage).
 Flink’s checkpoint-based approach differs from the approach taken by other stream processing systems that keep state in a distributed database or write state changes to a log, for example. The checkpoint-based approach has some nice properties, described below, which make it a great option for Flink.
 Checkpointing has very simple external dependencies: An Object Storage or a Distributed FileSystem are probably the most available and easiest-to-administer services. Because these are available on all public cloud providers and among the first systems to provide on-premises, Flink becomes well-suited for a cloud-native stack. In addition, these storage systems are cheaper by an order of magnitude (GB/month) when compared to distributed databases, key/value stores, or event brokers.
 Checkpoints are immutable and versioned: Together with immutable and versioned inputs (as input streams are, by nature), checkpoints support storing immutable application snapshots that can be used for rollbacks, debugging, testing, or as a cheap alternative to analyze application state outside the production setup.
-Checkpoints decouple the “stream transport” from the persistence mechanism: “Stream transport” refers to how data is being exchanged between operators (e.g. during a shuffle). This decoupling is key to Flink’s batch \u0026lt;-\u0026gt; streaming unification in one system, because it allows Flink to implement a data transport that can take the shape of both a low-latency streaming exchange or a decoupled batch data exchange.
+Checkpoints decouple the “stream transport” from the persistence mechanism: “Stream transport” refers to how data is being exchanged between operators (e.g. during a shuffle). This decoupling is key to Flink’s batch &lt;-&gt; streaming unification in one system, because it allows Flink to implement a data transport that can take the shape of both a low-latency streaming exchange or a decoupled batch data exchange.
 The Checkpointing Mechanism # The fundamental challenge solved by the checkpointing algorithm (details in this paper) is drawing a snapshot out of the ever-changing state of a streaming application without suspending the continuous processing of events. Because there are always events in-flight (on the network, in I/O buffers, etc.), up- and downstream operators can be processing events from different times: the sink may write data from 11:04, while the source already ingests events from 11:06. Ideally, all snapshotted data should belong to the same point-in-time, as if the input was paused and we waited until all in-flight data was drained (i.e. the pipeline becoming idle) before taking the snapshot.
 To achieve that, Flink injects checkpoint barriers into the streams at the sources, which travel through the entire topology and eventually reach the sinks. These barriers divide the stream into a pre-checkpoint epoch (all events that are persisted in state or emitted into sinks) and a post-checkpoint epoch (events not reflected in the state, to be re-processed when resuming from the checkpoint).
 The following figure shows what happens when a barrier reaches an operator.
@@ -2381,69 +2436,69 @@
 Consistency Guarantees # The alignment phase is only necessary for checkpoints with exactly-once processing semantics, which is the default setting in Flink. If an application runs with at-least-once processing semantics, checkpoints will not block any channels with barriers during alignment, which has an additional cost from the duplication of the then-not-blocked events when recovering the operator.
 This is not to be confused with having at-least-once semantics only in the sinks — something that many Flink users choose over transactional sinks — because many sink operations are idempotent or converge to the same result (like inputs/outputs to key/value stores). Having at-least-once semantics in an intermediate operator state is often not idempotent (for example a simple count aggregation) and hence using exactly-once checkpoints is advisable for the majority of Flink users.
 Conclusion # This blog post recaps how Flink’s fault tolerance mechanism (based on aligned checkpoints) works, and why checkpointing is a fitting mechanism for a fault-tolerant stream processor. The checkpointing mechanism has been optimized over time to make checkpoints faster and cheaper (with both asynchronous and incremental checkpoints) and faster-to-recover (local caching), but the basic concepts (barriers, alignment, operator state snapshots) are still the same as in the original version.
-The next part will dig into a major break with the original mechanism that avoids the alignment phase — the recently-introduced \u0026ldquo;unaligned checkpoints\u0026rdquo;. Stay tuned for the second part, which explains how unaligned checkpoints work and how they guarantee consistent checkpointing times under backpressure.

 Appendix 1 - On Backpressure # Backpressure refers to the behavior where a slow receiver (e.g. of data/requests) makes the senders slow down in order to not overwhelm the receiver, something that can result in possibly dropping some of the processed data or requests. This is a crucial and very much desirable behavior for systems where completeness/correctness is important. Backpressure is implicitly implemented in many of the most basic building blocks of distributed communication, such as TCP Flow Control, bounded (blocking) I/O queues, poll-based consumers, etc.
 Apache Flink implements backpressure across the entire data flow graph. A sink that (temporarily) cannot keep up with the data rate will result in the source connectors slowing down and pulling data out of the source systems more slowly. We believe that this is a good and desirable behavior, because backpressure is not only necessary in order to avoid overwhelming the memory of a receiver (thread), but can also prevent different stages of the streaming application from drifting apart too far.
 Consider the example below:
 We have a source (let’s say reading data from Apache Kafka), parsing data, grouping and aggregating data by a key, and writing it to a sink system (some database). The application needs to re-group data by key between the parsing and the grouping/aggregation step. Let’s assume we use a non-backpressure approach, like writing the data to a log/MQ for the data re-grouping over the network (the approach used by Kafka Streams). If the sink is now slower than the remaining parts of the streaming application (which can easily happen), the first stage (source and parse) will still work as fast as possible to pull data out of the source, parse it, and put it into the log for the shuffle. That intermediate log will accumulate a lot of data, meaning it needs significant capacity, so that in a worst case scenario can hold a full copy of the input data or otherwise result in data loss (when the drift is greater than the retention time).
 With backpressure, the source/parse stage slows down to match the speed of the sink, keeping both parts of the application closer together in their progress through the data, and avoiding the need to provision a lot of intermediate storage capacity.

 Introducing the example: Shopping Cart # Note You can find the full code [here](https://github.com/tzulitai/statefun-aws-demo/blob/master/app/shopping_cart.py), which uses StateFun's [Python SDK](//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-statefun-docs-master/sdk/python.html). Alternatively, if you are unfamiliar with StateFun's API, you can check out this [earlier blog](https://flink.apache.org/2020/08/19/statefun.html) on modeling applications and stateful entities using [StateFun's programming constructs](//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-statefun-docs-master/concepts/application-building-blocks.html). Let’s first take a look at a high-level overview of the motivating demo for this blog post: a shopping cart application. The diagram below covers the functions that build up the application, the state that the functions would keep, and the messages that flow between them. We’ll be referencing this example throughout the blog post.
-Fig.1: An overly simplified shopping cart application. The application consists of two function types: a cart function and an inventory function. Each instance of the cart function is associated with a single user entity, with its state being the items in the cart for that user (ItemsInCart). In the same way, each instance of the inventory function represents a single inventory, maintaining as state the number of items in stock (NumInStock) as well as the number of items reserved across all user carts (NumReserved). Messages can be sent to function instances using their logical addresses, which consists of the function type and the instance\u0026rsquo;s entity ID, e.g. (cart:Kim) or (inventory:socks).

Messages can be sent to function instances using their logical addresses, which consists of the function type and the instance&rsquo;s entity ID, e.g. (cart:Kim) or (inventory:socks).
 There are two external messages being sent to and from the shopping cart application via ingresses and egresses: AddToCart, which is sent to the ingress when an item is added to a user’s cart (e.g. sent by a front-end web application), and AddToCartResult, which is sent back from our application to acknowledge the action.
 AddToCart messages are handled by the cart function, which in turn invokes other functions to form the main logic of the application. To keep things simple, only two messages between functions are demonstrated: RequestItem, sent from the cart function to the inventory function, representing a request to reserve an item, and ItemReserved, which is a response from the inventory function to acknowledge the request.

 Fig.2: Simplified view of a StateFun app deployment. The StateFun runtime is built on-top of Apache Flink, and applies the same battle-tested technique that Flink uses as the basis for strongly consistent stateful streaming applications - co-location of state and messaging. In a StateFun application, all messages are routed through the StateFun cluster, including messages sent from ingresses, messages sent between functions, and messages sent from functions to egresses. Moreover, the state of all functions is maintained in the StateFun cluster as well. Like Flink, the message streams flowing through the StateFun cluster and function state are co-partitioned so that compute has local state access, and any updates to the state can be handled atomically with computed side-effects, i.e. messages to send to other functions.
-In more solid terms, take for example a message that is targeted for the logical address (cart, \u0026quot;Kim\u0026quot;) being routed through StateFun. Logical addresses are used in StateFun as the partitioning key for both message streams and state, so that the resulting StateFun cluster partition that this message ends up in will have the state for (cart, \u0026quot;Kim\u0026quot;) locally available.
-The only difference here for StateFun, compared to Flink, is that the actual compute doesn\u0026rsquo;t happen within the StateFun cluster partitions - computation happens remotely in the function services. So how does StateFun route input messages to the remote function services and provide them with state access, all the while preserving the same consistency guarantees as if state and compute were co-located?

 Remote Invocation Request-Reply Protocol # A StateFun cluster partition communicates with the functions using a slim and well-defined request-reply protocol, as illustrated in Fig. 3. Upon receiving an input message, the cluster partition invokes the target functions via their HTTP service endpoint. The service request body carries input events and current state for the functions, retrieved from local state. Any outgoing messages and state mutations as a result of invocations are sent back through StateFun as part of the service response. When the StateFun cluster partition receives the response, all state mutations are written back to local state and outgoing messages are routed to other cluster partitions, which in turn invokes other function services.
-Fig.3: The remote invocation request/reply protocol. Under the hood, StateFun SDKs like the Python SDK and other 3rd party SDKs for other languages all implement this protocol. From the user\u0026rsquo;s perspective, they are programming with state local to their function deployment, whereas in reality, state is maintained in StateFun and supplied through this protocol. It is easy to add more language SDKs, as long as the language can handle HTTP requests and responses.
-Function state consistency and fault-tolerance # The runtime makes sure that only one invocation per function instance (e.g. (cart, \u0026quot;Kim\u0026quot;)) is ongoing at any point in time (i.e. invocations per entity are serial). If an invocation is ongoing while new messages for the same function instance arrives, the messages are buffered in state and sent as a single batch as soon as the ongoing invocation completes.

If an invocation is ongoing while new messages for the same function instance arrives, the messages are buffered in state and sent as a single batch as soon as the ongoing invocation completes.
 In addition, since each request happens in complete isolation and all relevant information is encapsulated in each request and response, function invocations are effectively idempotent (i.e. results depend purely on the provided context of the invocation) and can be retried. This naturally avoids violating consistency in case any function service hiccups occur.
 For fault tolerance, all function state managed in the StateFun cluster is periodically and asynchronously checkpointed to a blob storage (e.g. HDFS, S3, GCS) using Flink’s original distributed snapshot mechanism. These checkpoints contain a globally consistent view of state across all functions of the application, including the offset positions in ingresses and the ongoing transaction state in egresses. In the case of an abrupt failure, the system may restore from the latest available checkpoint: all function states will be restored and all events between the checkpoint and the crash will be re-processed (and the functions re-invoked) with identical routing, all as if the failure never happened.
-Step-by-step walkthrough of function invocations # Let\u0026rsquo;s conclude this section by going through the actual messages that flow between StateFun and the functions in our shopping cart demo application!
-Customer \u0026ldquo;Kim\u0026rdquo; puts 2 socks into his shopping cart (Fig. 4):
-Fig.4: Message flow walkthrough. An event AddToCart(\u0026quot;Kim\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;socks\u0026quot;, 2) comes through one of the ingress partitions (1). The ingress event router is configured to route AddToCart events to the function type cart, taking the user ID (\u0026quot;Kim\u0026quot;) as the instance ID. The function type and instance ID together define the logical address of the target function instance for the event (cart:Kim).
-Let\u0026rsquo;s assume the event is read by StateFun partition B, but the (cart:Kim) address is owned by partition A. The event is thus routed to partition A (2).

+Customer &ldquo;Kim&rdquo; puts 2 socks into his shopping cart (Fig. 4):
+Fig.4: Message flow walkthrough. An event AddToCart(&quot;Kim&quot;, &quot;socks&quot;, 2) comes through one of the ingress partitions (1). The ingress event router is configured to route AddToCart events to the function type cart, taking the user ID (&quot;Kim&quot;) as the instance ID. The function type and instance ID together define the logical address of the target function instance for the event (cart:Kim).
+Let&rsquo;s assume the event is read by StateFun partition B, but the (cart:Kim) address is owned by partition A. The event is thus routed to partition A (2).
 StateFun Partition A receives the event and processes it:
-First, the runtime fetches the state for (cart:Kim) from the local state store, i.e. the existing items in Kim’s cart (3). Next, it marks (cart:Kim) as \u0026ldquo;busy\u0026rdquo;, meaning an invocation is happening. This buffers other messages targeted for (cart:Kim) in state until this invocation is completed. The runtime grabs a free HTTP client connection and sends a request to the cart function type\u0026rsquo;s service endpoint. The request contains the AddToCart(\u0026quot;Kim\u0026quot;, \u0026quot;socks\u0026quot;, 2) message and the current state for (cart:Kim) (4). The remote cart function service receives the event and attempts to reserve socks with the inventory function. Therefore, it replies to the invocation with a new message RequestItem(\u0026quot;socks\u0026quot;, 2) targeted at the address (inventory:socks). Any state modifications will be included in the response as well, but in this case there aren’t any state modifications yet (i.e. Kim’s cart is still empty until a reservation acknowledgement is received from the inventory service) (5). The StateFun runtime receives the response, routes the RequestItem message to other partitions, and marks (cart:Kim) as \u0026ldquo;available\u0026rdquo; again for invocation. Assuming that the (inventory:socks) address is owned by partition B, the message is routed to partition B (6).
-Once partition B receives the RequestItem message, the runtime invokes the function (inventory:socks) in the same way as described above, and receives a reply with a modification of the state of the inventory (the number of reserved socks is now increased by 2). (inventory:socks) now also wants to reply reservation of 2 socks for Kim, so an ItemReserved(\u0026quot;socks\u0026quot;, 2) message targeted for (cart:Kim) is also included in the response (7), which will again be routed by the StateFun runtime.

 Fig.5: Complete deployment example on AWS. A natural consequence of this characteristic is that there is no session-related dependency between individual HTTP requests, making it very easy to horizontally scale the function deployments. This makes it very easy to deploy your stateful functions using FaaS platforms solutions, allowing them to rapidly scale out, scale to zero, or be upgraded with zero-downtime.
 In our complementary demo code, you can find here the exact code on how to expose and service StateFun functions through AWS Lambda. Likewise, this is possible for any other FaaS platform that supports triggering the functions using HTTP endpoints (and other transports as well in the future).
 Fig. 5 on the right illustrates what a complete AWS deployment of a StateFun application would look like, with functions serviced via AWS Lambda, AWS Kinesis streams as ingresses and egresses, AWS EKS managed Kubernetes cluster to run the StateFun cluster, and an AWS S3 bucket to store the periodic checkpoints. You can also follow the instructions in the demo code to try it out and deploy this yourself right away!

 New Features # Asynchronous functions in Python SDK # This release enables registering asynchronous Python functions as stateful functions by introducing a new handler in the Python SDK: AsyncRequestReplyHandler. This allows serving StateFun functions with Python web frameworks that support asynchronous IO natively (for example, aiohttp):
-from statefun import StatefulFunctions from statefun import AsyncRequestReplyHandler functions = StatefulFunctions() @functions.bind(\u0026#34;example/greeter\u0026#34;) async def greeter(context, message): html = await fetch(session, \u0026#39;http://....\u0026#39;) context.pack_and_reply(SomeProtobufMessage(html)) # expose this handler via an async web framework handler = AsyncRequestReplyHandler(functions) For more details, please see the docs on exposing Python functions.

 Flink DataStream Integration SDK # Using this SDK, you may combine pipelines written with the Flink DataStream API or higher-level libraries (such as Table API, CEP etc., basically anything that can consume or produce a DataStream) with the programming constructs provided by Stateful Functions, as demonstrated below:
-StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); DataStream\u0026lt;RoutableMessage\u0026gt; namesIngress = ... StatefulFunctionEgressStreams egresses = StatefulFunctionDataStreamBuilder.builder(\u0026#34;example\u0026#34;) .withDataStreamAsIngress(namesIngress) .withRequestReplyRemoteFunction( RequestReplyFunctionBuilder.requestReplyFunctionBuilder( REMOTE_GREET, URI.create(\u0026#34;http://...\u0026#34;)) .withPersistedState(\u0026#34;seen_count\u0026#34;) .withFunctionProvider(GREET, unused -\u0026gt; new MyFunction()) .withEgressId(GREETINGS) .build(env); DataStream\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; responsesEgress = getDataStreamForEgressId(GREETINGS); Events from DataStream ingresses are being routed to bound functions, and events sent to egresses are captured as DataStream egresses. This opens up the possibility of building complex streaming applications.
-Construct for Dynamic State Registration # Prior to this release, the persisted state constructs in the Java SDK, such as PersistedValue, PersistedTable etc., had to be eagerly defined in a stateful function\u0026rsquo;s class. In certain scenarios, what state a function requires is not known in advance, and may only be dynamically registered at runtime (e.g., when a function is invoked).

 This release enables that by providing a new PersistedStateRegistry construct:
-public class MyFunction implements StatefulFunction { @Persisted private final PersistedStateRegistry registry = new PersistedStateRegistry(); private final PersistedValue\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; myValue; public void invoke(Context context, Object input) { if (myValue == null) { myValue = registry.registerValue(PersistedValue.of(\u0026#34;my-value\u0026#34;, String.class)); } ... } } Improvements # Remote Functions Communication Stability # After observing common workloads, a few configurations for communicating with remote functions were adjusted for a better out-of-the-box connection stability. This includes the following:
-The underlying connection pool was tuned for low latency, high throughput workloads. This allows StateFun to reuse existing connections much more aggressively and avoid re-establishing a connection for each request. StateFun applies backpressure once the total number of uncompleted requests reaches a per JVM threshold (statefun.async.max-per-task), but observing typical workloads we have discovered that the default value is set too high. In this release the default was reduced to improve stability and resource consumption, in the face of a slow-responding remote function. Operational observability of a StateFun Application # One major goal of this release was to take a necessary step towards supporting auto-scaling of remote functions. Towards that end, we\u0026rsquo;ve exposed several metrics related to workload of remote functions and resulting backpressure applied by the function dispatchers. This includes the following:

-Fine-grained control over remote connection lifecycle # With this release, it\u0026rsquo;s possible to set individual timeouts for overall duration and individual read and write IO operations of HTTP requests with remote functions. You can find the corresponding field names in a function spec that defines these timeout values here.
-3rd Party SDKs # Since the last release, we\u0026rsquo;ve seen new 3rd party SDKs for different languages being implemented on top of StateFun\u0026rsquo;s remote function HTTP request-reply protocol, including Go and Rust implementations. While these SDKs are not endorsed or maintained by the Apache Flink PMC and currently not part of the current releases, it is great to see these new additions that demonstrate the extensibility of the framework.
-For that reason, we\u0026rsquo;ve added a new page in the documentation to list the 3rd party SDKs that the community is aware of.

 Important Patch Notes # Below is a list of user-facing interface and configuration changes, dependency version upgrades, or removal of supported versions that would be important to be aware of when upgrading your StateFun applications to this version:
 [FLINK-18812] The Flink version in StateFun 2.2 has been upgraded to 1.11.1. [FLINK-19203] Upgraded Scala version to 2.12, and dropped support for 2.11. [FLINK-19190] All existing metric names have been renamed to be camel-cased instead of snake-cased, to conform with the Flink metric naming conventions. This breaks existing deployments if you depended on previous metrics. [FLINK-19192] The connection pool size for remote function HTTP requests have been increased to 1024, with a stale TTL of 1 minute. [FLINK-19191] The default max number of asynchronous operations per JVM (StateFun worker) has been decreased to 1024. Release Notes # Please review the release notes for a detailed list of changes and new features if you plan to upgrade your setup to Stateful Functions 2.2.0.

Some of the most relevant features in the upcoming release are:
 DataStream API interoperability, allowing users to embed Stateful Functions pipelines in regular DataStream API programs with DataStream ingress/egress.
 Fine-grained control over state for remote functions, including the ability to configure different state expiration modes for each individual function.

 The Bigger Picture # Flink in 2019: the Aftermath # Roughly a year ago, we did a roundup of community stats to understand how far Flink (and the Flink community) had come in 2019. Where does Flink stand now? What changed?
 Perhaps the most impressive result this time around is the surge in activity in the @user-zh mailing list. What started as an effort to better support the chinese-speaking users early in 2019 is now even exceeding the level of activity of the (already very active) main @user mailing list. Also @dev1 registered the highest ever peaks in activity in the months leading to the release of Flink 1.11!
-For what it\u0026rsquo;s worth, the Flink GitHub repository is now headed to 15k stars, after reaching the 10k milestone last year. If you consider some other numbers we gathered previously on repository activity and releases over time, 2020 is looking like one for the books in the Flink community.

+1. Excluding messages from &ldquo;jira@apache.org&rdquo;.
 To put these numbers into perspective, the report for the financial year of 2020 from the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) features Flink as one of the most active open source projects, with mentions for:
 Most Active Sources: Visits (#2) * Top Repositories by Number of Commits (#2) * Top Most Active Apache Mailing Lists (@user (#1) and @dev (#2)) For more details on where Flink and other open source projects stand in the bigger ASF picture, check out the full report.

Last year, he contributed to Apache Airflow as part of GSoD and he\u0026rsquo;s currently revamping the Apache Pinot documentation.

 The previous blog post focused on the memory model of the TaskManagers and how it was improved in Flink 1.10. This post addresses the same topic but for the JobManager instead. Flink 1.11 unifies the memory model of Flink’s processes. The newly-introduced memory model of the JobManager follows a similar approach to that of the TaskManagers; it is simpler and has fewer components and tuning knobs. This post might consequently seem very similar to our previous story on Flink’s memory but aims at providing a complete overview of Flink’s JobManager memory model as of Flink 1.11. Read on for a full list of updates and changes below!
 Introduction to Flink’s process memory model # Having a clear understanding of Apache Flink’s process memory model allows you to manage resources for the various workloads more efficiently. The following diagram illustrates the main memory components of a Flink process:
 Flink: Total Process Memory The JobManager process is a JVM process. On a high level, its memory consists of the JVM Heap and Off-Heap memory. These types of memory are consumed by Flink directly or by the JVM for its specific purposes (i.e. metaspace). There are two major memory consumers within the JobManager process: the framework itself consuming memory for internal data structures, network communication, etc. and the user code which runs within the JobManager process, e.g. in certain batch sources or during checkpoint completion callbacks.

 If you want more fine-grained control over the size of the JVM Heap, there is also the third alternative of configuring it directly. This alternative gives a clear separation between the heap memory and any other memory types.
 The remaining memory components will be automatically adjusted either based on their default values or additionally-configured parameters. Apache Flink also checks the overall consistency. You can find more information about the different memory components in the corresponding documentation. You can try different configuration options with the configuration spreadsheet (you have to make a copy of the spreadsheet to edit it) of FLIP-116 and check the corresponding results for your individual case.
 If you are migrating from a Flink version older than 1.11, we suggest following the steps in the migration guide of the Flink documentation.
-Additionally, you can configure separately the Off-heap memory (JVM direct and non-direct memory) as well as the JVM metaspace \u0026amp; overhead. The JVM overhead is a fraction of the Total Process Memory. The JVM overhead can be configured in a similar way as other fractions described in our previous blog post about the TaskManager’s memory model.

 More hints to control the container memory limit # The heap and direct memory usage are managed by the JVM. There are also many other possible sources of native memory consumption in Apache Flink or its user applications which are not managed directly by Flink or the JVM. Controlling their limits is often difficult which complicates debugging of potential memory leaks. If Flink’s process allocates too much memory in an unmanaged way, it can often result in killing its containers for containerized environments. In this case, understanding which type of memory consumption has exceeded its limit might be difficult to grasp and resolve. Flink 1.11 introduces some specific tuning options to clearly represent such components for the JobManager’s process. Although Flink cannot always enforce strict limits and borders among them, the idea here is to explicitly plan the memory usage. Below we provide some examples of how memory setup can prevent containers from exceeding their memory limit:
 User code or its dependencies consume significant off-heap memory. Tuning the Off-heap option can assign additional direct or native memory to the user code or any of its dependencies. Flink cannot control native allocations but it sets the limit for JVM Direct memory allocations. The Direct memory limit is enforced by the JVM.
 JVM metaspace requires additional memory. If you encounter OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace, Flink provides an option to increase its default limit and the JVM will ensure that it is not exceeded. The metaspace size of a Flink JVM process is always explicitly set in contrast to the default JVM settings where it is not limited.
 JVM requires more internal memory. There is no direct control over certain types of JVM process allocations but Flink provides JVM Overhead options. The JVM Overhead options allow declaring an additional amount of memory, anticipated for those allocations and not covered by other options.
 Conclusion # The latest Flink release (Flink 1.11) introduces some notable changes to the memory configuration of Flink’s JobManager, making its memory management significantly easier than before. Stay tuned for more additions and features in upcoming releases. If you have any suggestions or questions for the Flink community, we encourage you to sign up to the Apache Flink mailing lists and become part of the discussion.

+Let&rsquo;s quickly break down the recent improvements:
 Reduce confusion: Flink used to have 2 Dockerfiles and a 3rd file maintained outside of the official repository — all with different features and varying stability. Now, we have one central place for all images: apache/flink-docker.
 Here, we keep all the Dockerfiles for the different releases. Check out the detailed readme of that repository for further explanation on the different branches, as well as the Flink Improvement Proposal (FLIP-111) that contains the detailed planning.
 The apache/flink-docker repository also seeds the official Flink image on Docker Hub.
-Improve Usability: The Dockerfiles are used for various purposes: Native Docker deployments, Flink on Kubernetes, the (unofficial) Flink helm example and the project\u0026rsquo;s internal end to end tests. With one unified image, all these consumers of the images benefit from the same set of features, documentation and testing.

 The new images support passing configuration variables via a FLINK_PROPERTIES environment variable. Users can enable default plugins with the ENABLE_BUILT_IN_PLUGINS environment variable. The images also allow loading custom jar paths and configuration files.
 Looking into the future, there are already some interesting potential improvements lined up:

 A Flink Session cluster can be used to run multiple jobs. Each job needs to be submitted to the cluster after it has been deployed. To deploy a Flink Session cluster with Docker, you need to start a JobManager container. To enable communication between the containers, we first set a required Flink configuration property and create a network:
-FLINK_PROPERTIES=\u0026#34;jobmanager.rpc.address: jobmanager\u0026#34; docker network create flink-network Then we launch the JobManager:
-docker run \\ --rm \\ --name=jobmanager \\ --network flink-network \\ -p 8081:8081 \\ --env FLINK_PROPERTIES=\u0026#34;\${FLINK_PROPERTIES}\u0026#34; \\ flink:1.11.1 jobmanager and one or more TaskManager containers:
-docker run \\ --rm \\ --name=taskmanager \\ --network flink-network \\ --env FLINK_PROPERTIES=\u0026#34;\${FLINK_PROPERTIES}\u0026#34; \\ flink:1.11.1 taskmanager You now have a fully functional Flink cluster running! You can access the the web front end here: localhost:8081.

-IoT networks are composed of many individual, but interconnected components, which makes getting some kind of high-level insight into the status, problems, or optimization opportunities in these networks not trivial. Each individual device “sees” only its own state, which means that the status of groups of devices, or even the network as a whole, is often a complex aggregation of the individual devices’ state. Diagnosing, controlling, or optimizing these groups of devices thus requires distributed logic that analyzes the \u0026ldquo;bigger picture\u0026rdquo; and then acts upon it.
-A powerful approach to implement this is using digital twins: each device has a corresponding virtual entity (i.e. the digital twin), which also captures their relationships and interactions.

+IoT networks are composed of many individual, but interconnected components, which makes getting some kind of high-level insight into the status, problems, or optimization opportunities in these networks not trivial. Each individual device “sees” only its own state, which means that the status of groups of devices, or even the network as a whole, is often a complex aggregation of the individual devices’ state. Diagnosing, controlling, or optimizing these groups of devices thus requires distributed logic that analyzes the &ldquo;bigger picture&rdquo; and then acts upon it.
+A powerful approach to implement this is using digital twins: each device has a corresponding virtual entity (i.e. the digital twin), which also captures their relationships and interactions. The digital twins track the status of their corresponding devices and send updates to other twins, representing groups (such as geographical regions) of devices. Those, in turn, handle the logic to obtain the network&rsquo;s aggregated view, or this &ldquo;bigger picture&rdquo; we mentioned before.

In this blogpost, we&rsquo;ll use the example of data center monitoring and alert correlation implemented with Stateful Functions.
 Consider a very simplified view of a data center, consisting of many thousands of commodity servers arranged in server racks. Each server rack typically contains up to 40 servers, with a ToR (Top of the Rack) network switch connected to each server. The switches from all the racks connect through a larger switch (Fig. 1).
 In this datacenter, many things can go wrong: a disk in a server can stop working, network cards can start dropping packets, or ToR switches might cease to function. The entire data center might also be affected by power supply degradation, causing servers to operate at reduced capacity. On-site engineers must be able to identify these incidents quickly and fix them promptly.
-Diagnosing individual server failures is rather straightforward: take a recent history of metric reports from that particular server, analyse it and pinpoint the anomaly. On the other hand, other incidents only make sense \u0026ldquo;together\u0026rdquo;, because they share a common root cause. Diagnosing or predicting causes of networking degradation at a rack or datacenter level requires an aggregate view of metrics (such as package drop rates) from the individual machines and racks, and possibly some prediction model or diagnosis code that runs under certain conditions.

 Monitoring a Virtual Datacenter via Digital Twins # For the sake of this blog post, our oversimplified data center has some servers and racks, each with a unique ID. Each server has a metrics-collecting daemon that publishes metrics to a message queue, and there is a provisioning service that operators will use to ask for server commission- and decommissioning.
-Our application will consume these server metrics and commission/decommission events, and produce server/rack/datacenter alerts. There will also be an operator consuming any alerts triggered by the monitoring system. In the next section, we\u0026rsquo;ll show how this use case can be naturally modeled with Stateful Functions (StateFun).

 Implementing the use case with Flink StateFun # You can find the code for this example at: https://github.com/igalshilman/iot-statefun-blogpost The basic building block for modeling a StateFun application is a stateful function, which has the following properties:
 It has a logical unique address; and persisted, fault tolerant state, scoped to that address.
 It can react to messages, both internal (or, sent from other stateful functions) and external (e.g. a message from Kafka).
 Invocations of a specific function are serializable, so messages sent to a specific address are not executed concurrently.
 There can be many billions of function instances in a single StateFun cluster.

 In the MNIST inference task, we first need to read the images and do data preprocessing. You can download training or testing data from this site. We provide a simple MNISTReader. It will read the image data located in the provided file path and transform each image into a list of floating point numbers.
 Then, we need a classifier to recognize those images. A one-layer pre-trained neural network, whose prediction accuracy is 92.14%, is used in our classify operator. To leverage GPUs in order to accelerate the matrix-matrix multiplication, we use JCuda to call the native Cuda API. The prediction logic of the MNISTClassifier is shown below.

 The MNIST inference task is just a simple case that shows you how the external resource framework works and what Flink can do with GPU support. With Flink’s open source extension Alink, which contains a lot of pre-built algorithms based on Flink, and Tensorflow on Flink, some complex AI workloads, e.g. online learning, real-time inference service, could be easily implemented as well.
 Other external resources # In addition to GPU support, there are many other external resources that can be used to accelerate jobs in some specific scenarios. E.g. FPGA, for AI workloads, is supported by both Yarn and Kubernetes. Some low-latency network devices, like RDMA and Solarflare, also provide their device plugin for Kubernetes. Currently, Yarn supports GPUs and FPGAs, while the list of Kubernetes’ device plugins can be found here.
 With the external resource framework, you only need to implement a plugin that enables the operator to get the information for these external resources; see Custom Plugin for more details. If you just want to ensure that an external resource exists in the TaskManager, then you only need to find the configuration key of that resource in the underlying resource management system and configure the external resource framework accordingly.
 Conclusion # In the latest Flink release (Flink 1.11), an external resource framework has been introduced to support requesting various types of resources from the underlying resource management systems, and supply all the necessary information for using these resources to the operators. The first-party GPU plugin expands the application prospects of Flink in the AI domain. Different resource types can be supported in a pluggable way. You can also implement your own plugins for custom resource types.
 Future developments in this area include implementing operator level resource isolation and fine-grained external resource scheduling. The community may kick this work off once FLIP-56 is finished. If you have any suggestions or questions for the community, we encourage you to sign up to the Apache Flink mailing lists and join the discussion there.

 Pic source: VanderPlas 2017, slide 52. In an effort to meet the user needs and demands, the Flink community hopes to leverage and make better use of these tools. Along this direction, the Flink community put some great effort in integrating Pandas into PyFlink with the latest Flink version 1.11. Some of the added features include support for Pandas UDF and the conversion between Pandas DataFrame and Table. Pandas UDF not only greatly improve the execution performance of Python UDF, but also make it more convenient for users to leverage libraries such as Pandas and NumPy in Python UDF. Additionally, providing support for the conversion between Pandas DataFrame and Table enables users to switch processing engines seamlessly without the need for an intermediate connector. In the remainder of this article, we will introduce how these functionalities work and how to use them with a step-by-step example.
 Note Currently, only Scalar Pandas UDFs are supported in PyFlink. Pandas UDF in Flink 1.11 # Using scalar Python UDF was already possible in Flink 1.10 as described in a previous article on the Flink blog. Scalar Python UDFs work based on three primary steps:

 The performance of vectorized UDFs is usually much higher when compared to the normal Python UDF, as the serialization/deserialization overhead is minimized by falling back to Apache Arrow, while handling pandas.Series as input/output allows us to take full advantage of the Pandas and NumPy libraries, making it a popular solution to parallelize Machine Learning and other large-scale, distributed data science workloads (e.g. feature engineering, distributed model application).
 Conversion between PyFlink Table and Pandas DataFrame # Pandas DataFrame is the de-facto standard for working with tabular data in the Python community while PyFlink Table is Flink’s representation of the tabular data in Python. Enabling the conversion between PyFlink Table and Pandas DataFrame allows switching between PyFlink and Pandas seamlessly when processing data in Python. Users can process data by utilizing one execution engine and switch to a different one effortlessly. For example, in case users already have a Pandas DataFrame at hand and want to perform some expensive transformation, they can easily convert it to a PyFlink Table and leverage the power of the Flink engine. On the other hand, users can also convert a PyFlink Table to a Pandas DataFrame and perform the same transformation with the rich functionalities provided by the Pandas ecosystem.

+from pyflink.datastream import StreamExecutionEnvironment from pyflink.table import StreamTableEnvironment, DataTypes from pyflink.table.udf import udf import pandas as pd env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.get_execution_environment() env.set_parallelism(1) t_env = StreamTableEnvironment.create(env) t_env.get_config().get_configuration().set_boolean(&#34;python.fn-execution.memory.managed&#34;, True) @udf(input_types=[DataTypes.STRING(), DataTypes.FLOAT()], result_type=DataTypes.FLOAT(), udf_type=&#39;pandas&#39;) def interpolate(id, temperature): # takes id: pandas.Series and temperature: pandas.Series as input df = pd.DataFrame({&#39;id&#39;: id, &#39;temperature&#39;: temperature}) # use interpolate() to interpolate the missing temperature interpolated_df = df.groupby(&#39;id&#39;).apply( lambda group: group.interpolate(limit_direction=&#39;both&#39;)) # output temperature: pandas.Series return interpolated_df[&#39;temperature&#39;] t_env.register_function(&#34;interpolate&#34;, interpolate) my_source_ddl = &#34;&#34;&#34; create table mySource ( id INT, temperature FLOAT ) with ( &#39;connector.type&#39; = &#39;filesystem&#39;, &#39;format.type&#39; = &#39;csv&#39;, &#39;connector.path&#39; = &#39;/tmp/input&#39; ) &#34;&#34;&#34; my_sink_ddl = &#34;&#34;&#34; create table mySink ( id INT, temperature FLOAT ) with ( &#39;connector.type&#39; = &#39;filesystem&#39;, &#39;format.type&#39; = &#39;csv&#39;, &#39;connector.path&#39; = &#39;/tmp/output&#39; ) &#34;&#34;&#34; t_env.execute_sql(my_source_ddl) t_env.execute_sql(my_sink_ddl) t_env.from_path(&#39;mySource&#39;)\\ .select(&#34;id, interpolate(id, temperature) as temperature&#34;) \\ .insert_into(&#39;mySink&#39;) t_env.execute(&#34;pandas_udf_demo&#34;) To submit the job:
+Firstly, you need to prepare the input data in the &ldquo;/tmp/input&rdquo; file. For example, $ echo -e &#34;1,98.0\\n1,\\n1,100.0\\n2,99.0&#34; &gt; /tmp/input Next, you can run this example on the command line, $ python pandas_udf_demo.py The command builds and runs the Python Table API program in a local mini-cluster. You can also submit the Python Table API program to a remote cluster using different command lines, see more details here.
 Finally, you can see the execution result on the command line. As you can see, all the temperature data with an empty value has been interpolated: $ cat /tmp/output 1,98.0 1,99.0 1,100.0 2,99.0 Conversion between PyFlink Table and Pandas DataFrame # You can use the from_pandas() method to create a PyFlink Table from a Pandas DataFrame or use the to_pandas() method to convert a PyFlink Table to a Pandas DataFrame.

-\u0026ldquo;Whenever the sum of payments from the same payer to the same beneficiary within a 24 hour period is greater than 200 000 $ - trigger an alert.\u0026rdquo;

+&ldquo;Whenever the sum of payments from the same payer to the same beneficiary within a 24 hour period is greater than 200 000 $ - trigger an alert.&rdquo;
 In other words, given a stream of transactions partitioned by a key that combines the payer and the beneficiary fields, we would like to look back in time and determine, for each incoming transaction, if the sum of all previous payments between the two specific participants exceeds the defined threshold. In effect, the computation window is always moved along to the position of the last observed event for a particular data partitioning key.
-Figure 1: Time Windows One of the common key requirements for a fraud detection system is low response time. The sooner the fraudulent action gets detected, the higher the chances that it can be blocked and its negative consequences mitigated. This requirement is especially prominent in the financial domain, where you have one important constraint - any time spent evaluating a fraud detection model is time that a law-abiding user of your system will spend waiting for a response. Swiftness of processing often becomes a competitive advantage between various payment systems and the time limit for producing an alert could lie as low as 300-500 ms. This is all the time you get from the moment of ingestion of a transaction event into a fraud detection system until an alert has to become available to downstream systems. As you might know, Flink provides a powerful Window API that is applicable for a wide range of use cases. However, if you go over all of the available types of supported windows, you will realize that none of them exactly match our main requirement for this use case - the low-latency evaluation of each incoming transaction. There is no type of window in Flink that can express the \u0026ldquo;x minutes/hours/days back from the current event\u0026rdquo; semantic. In the Window API, events fall into windows (as defined by the window assigners), but they cannot themselves individually control the creation and evaluation of windows*. As described above, our goal for the fraud detection engine is to achieve immediate evaluation of the previous relevant data points as soon as the new event is received. This raises the question of feasibility of applying the Window API in this case. The Window API offers some options for defining custom triggers, evictors, and window assigners, which may get to the required result. However, it is usually difficult to get this right (and easy to break). Moreover, this approach does not provide access to broadcast state, which is required for implementing dynamic reconfiguration of business rules.

-Figure 2: Evaluation Delays Let\u0026rsquo;s take an example of using a sliding window from Flink\u0026rsquo;s Window API. Using sliding windows with the slide of S translates into an expected value of evaluation delay equal to S/2. This means that you would need to define a window slide of 600-1000 ms to fulfill the low-latency requirement of 300-500 ms delay, even before taking any actual computation time into account. The fact that Flink stores a separate window state for each sliding window pane renders this approach unfeasible under any moderately high load conditions.

The fact that Flink stores a separate window state for each sliding window pane renders this approach unfeasible under any moderately high load conditions.
 In order to satisfy the requirements, we need to create our own low-latency window implementation. Luckily, Flink gives us all the tools required to do so. ProcessFunction is a low-level, but powerful building block in Flink's API. It has a simple contract:
-public class SomeProcessFunction extends KeyedProcessFunction\u0026lt;KeyType, InputType, OutputType\u0026gt; { public void processElement(InputType event, Context ctx, Collector\u0026lt;OutputType\u0026gt; out){} public void onTimer(long timestamp, OnTimerContext ctx, Collector\u0026lt;OutputType\u0026gt; out) {} public void open(Configuration parameters){} } processElement() receives input events one by one. You can react to each input by producing one or more output events to the next operator by calling out.collect(someOutput). You can also pass data to a side output or ignore a particular input altogether.
+public class SomeProcessFunction extends KeyedProcessFunction&lt;KeyType, InputType, OutputType&gt; { public void processElement(InputType event, Context ctx, Collector&lt;OutputType&gt; out){} public void onTimer(long timestamp, OnTimerContext ctx, Collector&lt;OutputType&gt; out) {} public void open(Configuration parameters){} } processElement() receives input events one by one. You can react to each input by producing one or more output events to the next operator by calling out.collect(someOutput). You can also pass data to a side output or ignore a particular input altogether.
 onTimer() is called by Flink when a previously-registered timer fires. Both event time and processing time timers are supported.
-open() is equivalent to a constructor. It is called inside of the TaskManager\u0026rsquo;s JVM, and is used for initialization, such as registering Flink-managed state. It is also the right place to initialize fields that are not serializable and cannot be transferred from the JobManager\u0026rsquo;s JVM.

 Most importantly, ProcessFunction also has access to the fault-tolerant state, handled by Flink. This combination, together with Flink's message processing and delivery guarantees, makes it possible to build resilient event-driven applications with almost arbitrarily sophisticated business logic. This includes creation and processing of custom windows with state.
 Implementation # State and Clean-up # In order to be able to process time windows, we need to keep track of data belonging to the window inside of our program. To ensure that this data is fault-tolerant and can survive failures in a distributed system, we should store it inside of Flink-managed state. As the time progresses, we do not need to keep all previous transactions. According to the sample rule, all events that are older than 24 hours become irrelevant. We are looking at a window of data that constantly moves and where stale transactions need to be constantly moved out of scope (in other words, cleaned up from state).
 Figure 3: Window Clean-up We will use MapState to store the individual events of the window. In order to allow efficient clean-up of the out-of-scope events, we will utilize event timestamps as the MapState keys.
 In a general case, we have to take into account the fact that there might be different events with exactly the same timestamp, therefore instead of individual Transaction per key(timestamp) we will store sets.
-MapState\u0026lt;Long, Set\u0026lt;Transaction\u0026gt;\u0026gt; windowState; Side Note when any Flink-managed state is used inside a \`KeyedProcessFunction\`, the data returned by the \`state.value()\` call is automatically scoped by the key of the *currently-processed event* - see Figure 4. If \`MapState\` is used, the same principle applies, with the difference that a \`Map\` is returned instead of \`MyObject\`. If you are compelled to do something like \`mapState.value().get(inputEvent.getKey())\`, you should probably be using \`ValueState\` instead of the \`MapState\`. As we want to store *multiple values per event key*, in our case, \`MapState\` is the right choice. Figure 4: Keyed State Scoping As described in the first blog of the series, we are dispatching events based on the keys specified in the active fraud detection rules. Multiple distinct rules can be based on the same grouping key. This means that our alerting function can potentially receive transactions scoped by the same key (e.g. {payerId=25;beneficiaryId=12}), but destined to be evaluated according to different rules, which implies potentially different lengths of the time windows. This raises the question of how can we best store fault-tolerant window state within the KeyedProcessFunction. One approach would be to create and manage separate MapStates per rule. Such an approach, however, would be wasteful - we would separately hold state for overlapping time windows, and therefore unnecessarily store duplicate events. A better approach is to always store just enough data to be able to estimate all currently active rules which are scoped by the same key. In order to achieve that, whenever a new rule is added, we will determine if its time window has the largest span and store it in the broadcast state under the special reserved WIDEST_RULE_KEY. This information will later be used during the state clean-up procedure, as described later in this section.
-@Override public void processBroadcastElement(Rule rule, Context ctx, Collector\u0026lt;Alert\u0026gt; out){ ... updateWidestWindowRule(rule, broadcastState); } private void updateWidestWindowRule(Rule rule, BroadcastState\u0026lt;Integer, Rule\u0026gt; broadcastState){ Rule widestWindowRule = broadcastState.get(WIDEST_RULE_KEY); if (widestWindowRule == null) { broadcastState.put(WIDEST_RULE_KEY, rule); return; } if (widestWindowRule.getWindowMillis() \u0026lt; rule.getWindowMillis()) { broadcastState.put(WIDEST_RULE_KEY, rule); } } Let\u0026rsquo;s now look at the implementation of the main method, processElement(), in some detail.

 In the previous blog post, we described how DynamicKeyFunction allowed us to perform dynamic data partitioning based on the groupingKeyNames parameter in the rule definition. The subsequent description is focused around the DynamicAlertFunction, which makes use of the remaining rule settings.
-Figure 5: Sample Rule Definition As described in the previous parts of the blog post series, our alerting process function receives events of type Keyed\u0026lt;Transaction, String, Integer\u0026gt;, where Transaction is the main \u0026ldquo;wrapped\u0026rdquo; event, String is the key (payer #x - beneficiary #y in Figure 1), and Integer is the ID of the rule that caused the dispatch of this event. This rule was previously stored in the broadcast state and has to be retrieved from that state by the ID. Here is the outline of the implementation:
-public class DynamicAlertFunction extends KeyedBroadcastProcessFunction\u0026lt; String, Keyed\u0026lt;Transaction, String, Integer\u0026gt;, Rule, Alert\u0026gt; { private transient MapState\u0026lt;Long, Set\u0026lt;Transaction\u0026gt;\u0026gt; windowState; @Override public void processElement( Keyed\u0026lt;Transaction, String, Integer\u0026gt; value, ReadOnlyContext ctx, Collector\u0026lt;Alert\u0026gt; out){ // Add Transaction to state long currentEventTime = value.getWrapped().getEventTime(); // \u0026lt;--- (1) addToStateValuesSet(windowState, currentEventTime, value.getWrapped()); // Calculate the aggregate value Rule rule = ctx.getBroadcastState(Descriptors.rulesDescriptor).get(value.getId()); // \u0026lt;--- (2) Long windowStartTimestampForEvent = rule.getWindowStartTimestampFor(currentEventTime);// \u0026lt;--- (3) SimpleAccumulator\u0026lt;BigDecimal\u0026gt; aggregator = RuleHelper.getAggregator(rule); // \u0026lt;--- (4) for (Long stateEventTime : windowState.keys()) { if (isStateValueInWindow(stateEventTime, windowStartForEvent, currentEventTime)) { aggregateValuesInState(stateEventTime, aggregator, rule); } } // Evaluate the rule and trigger an alert if violated BigDecimal aggregateResult = aggregator.getLocalValue(); // \u0026lt;--- (5) boolean isRuleViolated = rule.apply(aggregateResult); if (isRuleViolated) { long decisionTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); out.collect(new Alert\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(rule.getRuleId(), rule, value.getKey(), decisionTime, value.getWrapped(), aggregateResult)); } // Register timers to ensure state cleanup long cleanupTime = (currentEventTime / 1000) * 1000; // \u0026lt;--- (6) ctx.timerService().registerEventTimeTimer(cleanupTime); } Here are the details of the steps: 1) We first add each new event to our window state: static \u0026lt;K, V\u0026gt; Set\u0026lt;V\u0026gt; addToStateValuesSet(MapState\u0026lt;K, Set\u0026lt;V\u0026gt;\u0026gt; mapState, K key, V value) throws Exception { Set\u0026lt;V\u0026gt; valuesSet = mapState.get(key); if (valuesSet != null) { valuesSet.add(value); } else { valuesSet = new HashSet\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(); valuesSet.add(value); } mapState.put(key, valuesSet); return valuesSet; } Next, we retrieve the previously-broadcasted rule, according to which the incoming transaction needs to be evaluated.

 getWindowStartTimestampFor determines, given the window span defined in the rule, and the current transaction timestamp, how far back in time our evaluation should span.
 The aggregate value is calculated by iterating over all window state entries and applying an aggregate function. It could be an average, max, min or, as in the example rule from the beginning of this section, a sum.
-private boolean isStateValueInWindow( Long stateEventTime, Long windowStartForEvent, long currentEventTime) { return stateEventTime \u0026gt;= windowStartForEvent \u0026amp;\u0026amp; stateEventTime \u0026lt;= currentEventTime; } private void aggregateValuesInState( Long stateEventTime, SimpleAccumulator\u0026lt;BigDecimal\u0026gt; aggregator, Rule rule) throws Exception { Set\u0026lt;Transaction\u0026gt; inWindow = windowState.get(stateEventTime); for (Transaction event : inWindow) { BigDecimal aggregatedValue = FieldsExtractor.getBigDecimalByName(rule.getAggregateFieldName(), event); aggregator.add(aggregatedValue); } } Having an aggregate value, we can compare it to the threshold value that is specified in the rule definition and fire an alert, if necessary.
+private boolean isStateValueInWindow( Long stateEventTime, Long windowStartForEvent, long currentEventTime) { return stateEventTime &gt;= windowStartForEvent &amp;&amp; stateEventTime &lt;= currentEventTime; } private void aggregateValuesInState( Long stateEventTime, SimpleAccumulator&lt;BigDecimal&gt; aggregator, Rule rule) throws Exception { Set&lt;Transaction&gt; inWindow = windowState.get(stateEventTime); for (Transaction event : inWindow) { BigDecimal aggregatedValue = FieldsExtractor.getBigDecimalByName(rule.getAggregateFieldName(), event); aggregator.add(aggregatedValue); } } Having an aggregate value, we can compare it to the threshold value that is specified in the rule definition and fire an alert, if necessary.
 At the end, we register a clean-up timer using ctx.timerService().registerEventTimeTimer(). This timer will be responsible for removing the current transaction when it is going to move out of scope.
 Note Notice the rounding during timer creation. It is an important technique which enables a reasonable trade-off between the precision with which the timers will be triggered, and the number of timers being used. Timers are stored in Flink's fault-tolerant state, and managing them with millisecond-level precision can be wasteful. In our case, with this rounding, we will create at most one timer per key in any given second. Flink documentation provides some additional [details](//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.11/dev/stream/operators/process_function.html#timer-coalescing). The onTimer method will trigger the clean-up of the window state. As previously described, we are always keeping as many events in the state as required for the evaluation of an active rule with the widest window span. This means that during the clean-up, we only need to remove the state which is out of scope of this widest window.
 Figure 6: Widest Window This is how the clean-up procedure can be implemented:
-@Override public void onTimer(final long timestamp, final OnTimerContext ctx, final Collector\u0026lt;Alert\u0026gt; out) throws Exception { Rule widestWindowRule = ctx.getBroadcastState(Descriptors.rulesDescriptor).get(WIDEST_RULE_KEY); Optional\u0026lt;Long\u0026gt; cleanupEventTimeWindow = Optional.ofNullable(widestWindowRule).map(Rule::getWindowMillis); Optional\u0026lt;Long\u0026gt; cleanupEventTimeThreshold = cleanupEventTimeWindow.map(window -\u0026gt; timestamp - window); // Remove events that are older than (timestamp - widestWindowSpan)ms cleanupEventTimeThreshold.ifPresent(this::evictOutOfScopeElementsFromWindow); } private void evictOutOfScopeElementsFromWindow(Long threshold) { try { Iterator\u0026lt;Long\u0026gt; keys = windowState.keys().iterator(); while (keys.hasNext()) { Long stateEventTime = keys.next(); if (stateEventTime \u0026lt; threshold) { keys.remove(); } } } catch (Exception ex) { throw new RuntimeException(ex); } } Note You might be wondering why we did not use \`ListState\` , as we are always iterating over all of the values of the window state? This is actually an optimization for the case when \`RocksDBStateBackend\` [is used](//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.11/ops/state/state_backends.html#the-rocksdbstatebackend). Iterating over a \`ListState\` would cause all of the \`Transaction\` objects to be deserialized. Using \`MapState\`\\'s keys iterator only causes deserialization of the keys (type \`long\`), and therefore reduces the computational overhead. This concludes the description of the implementation details. Our approach triggers evaluation of a time window as soon as a new transaction arrives. It therefore fulfills the main requirement that we have targeted - low delay for potentially issuing an alert. For the complete implementation, please have a look at the project on github.

+Let&rsquo;s now look at the latter two drawbacks and see if we can address them.
 Late events: # Processing late events poses a certain question - is it still meaningful to re-evaluate the window in case of a late event arrival? In case this is required, you would need to extend the widest window used for the clean-up by your maximum expected out-of-orderness. This would avoid having potentially incomplete time window data for such late firings (see Figure 7).
 Figure 7: Late Events Handling It can be argued, however, that for a use case that puts emphasis on low latency processing, such late triggering would be meaningless. In this case, we could keep track of the most recent timestamp that we have observed so far, and for events that do not monotonically increase this value, only add them to the state and skip the aggregate calculation and the alert triggering logic.
 Redundant Re-computations and State Size: # In our described implementation we keep individual transactions in state and go over them to calculate the aggregate again and again on every new event. This is obviously not optimal in terms of wasting computational resources on repeated calculations.
 What is the main reason to keep the individual transactions in state? The granularity of stored events directly corresponds to the precision of the time window calculation. Because we store transactions individually, we can precisely ignore individual transactions as soon as they leave the exact 2592000000 ms time window (30 days in ms). At this point, it is worth raising the question - do we really need this milliseconds precision when estimating such a long time window, or is it OK to accept potential false positives in exceptional cases? If the answer for your use case is that such precision is not needed, you could implement additional optimization based on bucketing and pre-aggregation. The idea of this optimization can be broken down as follows:
 Instead of storing individual events, create a parent class that can either contain fields of a single transaction, or combined values, calculated based on applying an aggregate function to a set of transactions.
-Instead of using timestamps in milliseconds as MapState keys, round them to the level of \u0026ldquo;resolution\u0026rdquo; that you are willing to accept (for instance, a full minute). Each entry therefore represents a bucket.
-Whenever a window is evaluated, append the new transaction\u0026rsquo;s data to the bucket aggregate instead of storing individual data points per transaction.
-Figure 8: Pre-aggregation State Data and Serializers # Another question that we can ask ourselves in order to further optimize the implementation is how probable is it to get different events with exactly the same timestamp. In the described implementation, we demonstrated one way of approaching this question by storing sets of transactions per timestamp in MapState\u0026lt;Long, Set\u0026lt;Transaction\u0026gt;\u0026gt;. Such a choice, however, might have a more significant effect on performance than might be anticipated. The reason is that Flink does not currently provide a native Set serializer and will enforce a fallback to the less efficient Kryo serializer instead (FLINK-16729). A meaningful alternative strategy is to assume that, in a normal scenario, no two discrepant events can have exactly the same timestamp and to turn the window state into a MapState\u0026lt;Long, Transaction\u0026gt; type. You can use side-outputs to collect and monitor any unexpected occurrences which contradict your assumption. During performance optimizations, I generally recommend you to disable the fallback to Kryo and verify where your application might be further optimized by ensuring that more efficient serializers are being used.
-Tip: You can quickly determine which serializer is going to be used for your classes by setting a breakpoint and verifying the type of the returned TypeInformation. PojoTypeInfo indicates that an efficient Flink POJO serializer will be used. GenericTypeInfo indicates the fallback to a Kryo serializer. Event pruning: Instead of storing complete events and putting additional stress on the ser/de machinery, we can reduce individual events data to only relevant information. This would potentially require \u0026ldquo;unpacking\u0026rdquo; individual events as fields, and storing those fields into a generic Map\u0026lt;String, Object\u0026gt; data structure, based on the configurations of active rules.

 While this adjustment could potentially produce significant improvements for objects of large size, it should not be your first pick as it can easily turn into a premature optimization.

+The goal of this blog post was to illustrate the power and flexibility of Apache Flink&rsquo;s APIs. At the core of it are the pillars of Flink, that spare you, as a developer, very significant amounts of work and generalize well to a wide range of use cases by providing:
 Efficient data exchange in a distributed cluster
 Horizontal scalability via data partitioning
 Fault-tolerant state with quick, local access
 Convenient abstraction for working with this state, which is as simple as using a local variable
 Multi-threaded, parallel execution engine. ProcessFunction code runs in a single thread, without the need for synchronization. Flink handles all the parallel execution aspects and correct access to the shared state, without you, as a developer, having to think about it (concurrency is hard).
-All these aspects make it possible to build applications with Flink that go well beyond trivial streaming ETL use cases and enable implementation of arbitrarily-sophisticated, distributed event-driven applications. With Flink, you can rethink approaches to a wide range of use cases which normally would rely on using stateless parallel execution nodes and \u0026ldquo;pushing\u0026rdquo; the concerns of state fault tolerance to a database, an approach that is often destined to run into scalability issues in the face of ever-increasing data volumes.

 In the following sections, we describe how to integrate Kafka, MySQL, Elasticsearch, and Kibana with Flink SQL to analyze e-commerce user behavior in real-time. All exercises in this blogpost are performed in the Flink SQL CLI, and the entire process uses standard SQL syntax, without a single line of Java/Scala code or IDE installation. The final result of this demo is shown in the following figure:
 Preparation # Prepare a Linux or MacOS computer with Docker installed.
 Starting the Demo Environment # The components required in this demo are all managed in containers, so we will use docker-compose to start them. First, download the docker-compose.yml file that defines the demo environment, for example by running the following commands:
 mkdir flink-sql-demo; cd flink-sql-demo; wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wuchong/flink-sql-demo/v1.11-EN/docker-compose.yml The Docker Compose environment consists of the following containers:
-Flink SQL CLI: used to submit queries and visualize their results. Flink Cluster: a Flink JobManager and a Flink TaskManager container to execute queries. MySQL: MySQL 5.7 and a pre-populated category table in the database. The category table will be joined with data in Kafka to enrich the real-time data. Kafka: mainly used as a data source. The DataGen component automatically writes data into a Kafka topic. Zookeeper: this component is required by Kafka. Elasticsearch: mainly used as a data sink. Kibana: used to visualize the data in Elasticsearch. DataGen: the data generator. After the container is started, user behavior data is automatically generated and sent to the Kafka topic. By default, 2000 data entries are generated each second for about 1.5 hours. You can modify DataGen\u0026rsquo;s speedup parameter in docker-compose.yml to adjust the generation rate (which takes effect after Docker Compose is restarted). Note Before starting the containers, we recommend configuring Docker so that sufficient resources are available and the environment does not become unresponsive. We suggest running Docker at 3-4 GB memory and 3-4 CPU cores. To start all containers, run the following command in the directory that contains the docker-compose.yml file.

 docker-compose up -d This command automatically starts all the containers defined in the Docker Compose configuration in a detached mode. Run docker ps to check whether the 9 containers are running properly. You can also visit http://localhost:5601/ to see if Kibana is running normally.
 Don’t forget to run the following command to stop all containers after you finished the tutorial:
 docker-compose down Entering the Flink SQL CLI client # To enter the SQL CLI client run:
 docker-compose exec sql-client ./sql-client.sh The command starts the SQL CLI client in the container. You should see the welcome screen of the CLI client.
 Creating a Kafka table using DDL # The DataGen container continuously writes events into the Kafka user_behavior topic. This data contains the user behavior on the day of November 27, 2017 (behaviors include “click”, “like”, “purchase” and “add to shopping cart” events). Each row represents a user behavior event, with the user ID, product ID, product category ID, event type, and timestamp in JSON format. Note that the dataset is from the Alibaba Cloud Tianchi public dataset.
 In the directory that contains docker-compose.yml, run the following command to view the first 10 data entries generated in the Kafka topic:

In order to make the events in the Kafka topic accessible to Flink SQL, we run the following DDL statement in SQL CLI to create a table that connects to the topic in the Kafka cluster:

-CREATE TABLE buy_cnt_per_hour ( hour_of_day BIGINT, buy_cnt BIGINT ) WITH ( \u0026#39;connector\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;elasticsearch-7\u0026#39;, -- using elasticsearch connector \u0026#39;hosts\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;http://elasticsearch:9200\u0026#39;, -- elasticsearch address \u0026#39;index\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;buy_cnt_per_hour\u0026#39; -- elasticsearch index name, similar to database table name ); There is no need to create the buy_cnt_per_hour index in Elasticsearch in advance since Elasticsearch will automatically create the index if it does not exist.
-Submitting a Query # The hourly trading volume is the number of \u0026ldquo;buy\u0026rdquo; behaviors completed each hour. Therefore, we can use a TUMBLE window function to assign data into hourly windows. Then, we count the number of “buy” records in each window. To implement this, we can filter out the \u0026ldquo;buy\u0026rdquo; data first and then apply COUNT(*).
-INSERT INTO buy_cnt_per_hour SELECT HOUR(TUMBLE_START(ts, INTERVAL \u0026#39;1\u0026#39; HOUR)), COUNT(*) FROM user_behavior WHERE behavior = \u0026#39;buy\u0026#39; GROUP BY TUMBLE(ts, INTERVAL \u0026#39;1\u0026#39; HOUR); Here, we use the built-in HOUR function to extract the value for each hour in the day from a TIMESTAMP column. Use INSERT INTO to start a Flink SQL job that continuously writes results into the Elasticsearch buy_cnt_per_hour index. The Elasticearch result table can be seen as a materialized view of the query. You can find more information about Flink’s window aggregation in the Apache Flink documentation.
+CREATE TABLE buy_cnt_per_hour ( hour_of_day BIGINT, buy_cnt BIGINT ) WITH ( &#39;connector&#39; = &#39;elasticsearch-7&#39;, -- using elasticsearch connector &#39;hosts&#39; = &#39;http://elasticsearch:9200&#39;, -- elasticsearch address &#39;index&#39; = &#39;buy_cnt_per_hour&#39; -- elasticsearch index name, similar to database table name ); There is no need to create the buy_cnt_per_hour index in Elasticsearch in advance since Elasticsearch will automatically create the index if it does not exist.

 After running the previous query in the Flink SQL CLI, we can observe the submitted task on the Flink Web UI. This task is a streaming task and therefore runs continuously.
-Using Kibana to Visualize Results # Access Kibana at http://localhost:5601. First, configure an index pattern by clicking \u0026ldquo;Management\u0026rdquo; in the left-side toolbar and find \u0026ldquo;Index Patterns\u0026rdquo;. Next, click \u0026ldquo;Create Index Pattern\u0026rdquo; and enter the full index name buy_cnt_per_hour to create the index pattern. After creating the index pattern, we can explore data in Kibana.
-Note Since we are using the TUMBLE window of one hour here, it might take about four minutes between the time that containers started and until the first row is emitted. Until then the index does not exist and Kibana is unable to find the index. Click \u0026ldquo;Discover\u0026rdquo; in the left-side toolbar. Kibana lists the content of the created index.

 You can see that during the early morning hours the number of transactions have the lowest value for the entire day.
 As real-time data is added into the indices, you can enable auto-refresh in Kibana to see real-time visualization changes and updates. You can do so by clicking the time picker and entering a refresh interval (e.g. 3 seconds) in the “Refresh every” field.
 Cumulative number of Unique Visitors every 10-min # Another interesting visualization is the cumulative number of unique visitors (UV). For example, the number of UV at 10:00 represents the total number of UV from 00:00 to 10:00. Therefore, the curve is monotonically increasing.
 Let’s create another Elasticsearch table in the SQL CLI to store the UV results. This table contains 3 columns: date, time and cumulative UVs. The date_str and time_str column are defined as primary key, Elasticsearch sink will use them to calculate the document ID and work in upsert mode to update UV values under the document ID.
-CREATE TABLE cumulative_uv ( date_str STRING, time_str STRING, uv BIGINT, PRIMARY KEY (date_str, time_str) NOT ENFORCED ) WITH ( \u0026#39;connector\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;elasticsearch-7\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;hosts\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;http://elasticsearch:9200\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;index\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;cumulative_uv\u0026#39; ); We can extract the date and time using DATE_FORMAT function based on the ts field. As the section title describes, we only need to report every 10 minutes. So, we can use SUBSTR and the string concat function || to convert the time value into a 10-minute interval time string, such as 12:00, 12:10. Next, we group data by date_str and perform a COUNT DISTINCT aggregation on user_id to get the current cumulative UV in this day. Additionally, we perform a MAX aggregation on time_str field to get the current stream time: the maximum event time observed so far. As the maximum time is also a part of the primary key of the sink, the final result is that we will insert a new point into the elasticsearch every 10 minute. And every latest point will be updated continuously until the next 10-minute point is generated.
-INSERT INTO cumulative_uv SELECT date_str, MAX(time_str), COUNT(DISTINCT user_id) as uv FROM ( SELECT DATE_FORMAT(ts, \u0026#39;yyyy-MM-dd\u0026#39;) as date_str, SUBSTR(DATE_FORMAT(ts, \u0026#39;HH:mm\u0026#39;),1,4) || \u0026#39;0\u0026#39; as time_str, user_id FROM user_behavior) GROUP BY date_str; After submitting this query, we create a cumulative_uv index pattern in Kibana. We then create a \u0026ldquo;Line\u0026rdquo; (line graph) on the dashboard, by selecting the cumulative_uv index, and drawing the cumulative UV curve according to the configuration on the left side of the following figure before finally saving the curve.
+CREATE TABLE cumulative_uv ( date_str STRING, time_str STRING, uv BIGINT, PRIMARY KEY (date_str, time_str) NOT ENFORCED ) WITH ( &#39;connector&#39; = &#39;elasticsearch-7&#39;, &#39;hosts&#39; = &#39;http://elasticsearch:9200&#39;, &#39;index&#39; = &#39;cumulative_uv&#39; ); We can extract the date and time using DATE_FORMAT function based on the ts field.

We then create a &ldquo;Line&rdquo; (line graph) on the dashboard, by selecting the cumulative_uv index, and drawing the cumulative UV curve according to the configuration on the left side of the following figure before finally saving the curve.
 Top Categories # The last visualization represents the category rankings to inform us on the most popular categories in our e-commerce site. Since our data source offers events for more than 5,000 categories without providing any additional significance to our analytics, we would like to reduce it so that it only includes the top-level categories. We will use the data in our MySQL database by joining it as a dimension table with our Kafka events to map sub-categories to top-level categories.
 Create a table in the SQL CLI to make the data in MySQL accessible to Flink SQL.
-CREATE TABLE category_dim ( sub_category_id BIGINT, parent_category_name STRING ) WITH ( \u0026#39;connector\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;jdbc\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;url\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;jdbc:mysql://mysql:3306/flink\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;table-name\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;category\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;username\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;root\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;password\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;123456\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;lookup.cache.max-rows\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;5000\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;lookup.cache.ttl\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;10min\u0026#39; ); The underlying JDBC connector implements the LookupTableSource interface, so the created JDBC table category_dim can be used as a temporal table (i.e. lookup table) out-of-the-box in the data enrichment.
+CREATE TABLE category_dim ( sub_category_id BIGINT, parent_category_name STRING ) WITH ( &#39;connector&#39; = &#39;jdbc&#39;, &#39;url&#39; = &#39;jdbc:mysql://mysql:3306/flink&#39;, &#39;table-name&#39; = &#39;category&#39;, &#39;username&#39; = &#39;root&#39;, &#39;password&#39; = &#39;123456&#39;, &#39;lookup.cache.max-rows&#39; = &#39;5000&#39;, &#39;lookup.cache.ttl&#39; = &#39;10min&#39; ); The underlying JDBC connector implements the LookupTableSource interface, so the created JDBC table category_dim can be used as a temporal table (i.e. lookup table) out-of-the-box in the data enrichment.
 In addition, create an Elasticsearch table to store the category statistics.
-CREATE TABLE top_category ( category_name STRING PRIMARY KEY NOT ENFORCED, buy_cnt BIGINT ) WITH ( \u0026#39;connector\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;elasticsearch-7\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;hosts\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;http://elasticsearch:9200\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;index\u0026#39; = \u0026#39;top_category\u0026#39; ); In order to enrich the category names, we use Flink SQL’s temporal table joins to join a dimension table. You can access more information about temporal joins in the Flink documentation.
+CREATE TABLE top_category ( category_name STRING PRIMARY KEY NOT ENFORCED, buy_cnt BIGINT ) WITH ( &#39;connector&#39; = &#39;elasticsearch-7&#39;, &#39;hosts&#39; = &#39;http://elasticsearch:9200&#39;, &#39;index&#39; = &#39;top_category&#39; ); In order to enrich the category names, we use Flink SQL’s temporal table joins to join a dimension table. You can access more information about temporal joins in the Flink documentation.
 Additionally, we use the CREATE VIEW syntax to register the query as a logical view, allowing us to easily reference this query in subsequent queries and simplify nested queries. Please note that creating a logical view does not trigger the execution of the job and the view results are not persisted. Therefore, this statement is lightweight and does not have additional overhead.
 CREATE VIEW rich_user_behavior AS SELECT U.user_id, U.item_id, U.behavior, C.parent_category_name as category_name FROM user_behavior AS U LEFT JOIN category_dim FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF U.proctime AS C ON U.category_id = C.sub_category_id; Finally, we group the dimensional table by category name to count the number of buy events and write the result to Elasticsearch’s top_category index.
-INSERT INTO top_category SELECT category_name, COUNT(*) buy_cnt FROM rich_user_behavior WHERE behavior = \u0026#39;buy\u0026#39; GROUP BY category_name; After submitting the query, we create a top_category index pattern in Kibana. We then create a \u0026ldquo;Horizontal Bar\u0026rdquo; (bar graph) on the dashboard, by selecting the top_category index and drawing the category ranking according to the configuration on the left side of the following diagram before finally saving the list.
+INSERT INTO top_category SELECT category_name, COUNT(*) buy_cnt FROM rich_user_behavior WHERE behavior = &#39;buy&#39; GROUP BY category_name; After submitting the query, we create a top_category index pattern in Kibana.

 As illustrated in the diagram, the categories of clothing and shoes exceed by far other categories on the e-commerce website.
 We have now implemented three practical applications and created charts for them. We can now return to the dashboard page and drag-and-drop each view to give our dashboard a more formal and intuitive style, as illustrated in the beginning of the blogpost. Of course, Kibana also provides a rich set of graphics and visualization features, and the user_behavior logs contain a lot more interesting information to explore. Using Flink SQL, you can analyze data in more dimensions, while using Kibana allows you to display more views and observe real-time changes in its charts!
 Summary # In the previous sections, we described how to use Flink SQL to integrate Kafka, MySQL, Elasticsearch, and Kibana to quickly build a real-time analytics application. The entire process can be completed using standard SQL syntax, without a line of Java or Scala code. We hope that this article provides some clear and practical examples of the convenience and power of Flink SQL, featuring an easy connection to various external systems, native support for event time and out-of-order handling, dimension table joins and a wide range of built-in functions. We hope you have fun following the examples in this blogpost!

In such environments, metadata management becomes a crucial aspect. Without it, users often work blindly, spending too much time searching for datasets and their location, figuring out data formats and similar cumbersome tasks.\nIn this blog post, we want to give you a high level overview of catalogs in Flink. We\u0026rsquo;ll describe why you should consider using them and what you can achieve with one in place. To round it up, we\u0026rsquo;ll also showcase how simple it is to combine catalogs and Flink, in the form of an end-to-end example that you can try out yourself.\nWhy do I need a catalog? # Frequently, companies start building a data platform with a metastore, catalog, or schema registry of some sort already in place. Those let you clearly separate making the data available from consuming it. That separation has a few benefits:\nImproved productivity - The most obvious one. Making data reusable and shifting the focus on building new models/pipelines rather than data cleansing and discovery. Security - You can control the access to certain features of the data. For example, you can make the schema of the dataset publicly available, but limit the actual access to the underlying data only to particular teams. Compliance - If you have all the metadata in a central entity, it\u0026rsquo;s much easier to ensure compliance with GDPR and similar regulations and legal requirements. What is stored in a catalog? # Almost all data sets can be described by certain properties that must be known in order to consume them. Those include:\nSchema - It describes the actual contents of the data, what columns it has, what are the constraints (e.g. keys) on which the updates should be performed, which fields can act as time attributes, what are the rules for watermark generation and so on.\nLocation - Does the data come from Kafka or a file in a filesystem? How do you connect to the external system? Which topic or file name do you use?\nFormat - Is the data serialized as JSON, CSV, or maybe Avro records?\nStatistics - You can also store additional information that can be useful when creating an execution plan of your query. For example, you can choose the best join algorithm, based on the number of rows in joined datasets.\nCatalogs don’t have to be limited to the metadata of datasets. You can usually store other objects that can be reused in different scenarios, such as:\nFunctions - It\u0026rsquo;s very common to have domain specific functions that can be helpful in different use cases. Instead of having to create them in each place separately, you can just create them once and share them with others.\nQueries - Those can be useful when you don’t want to persist a data set, but want to provide a recipe for creating it from other sources instead.\nCatalogs support in Flink SQL # Starting from version 1.9, Flink has a set of Catalog APIs that allows to integrate Flink with various catalog implementations. With the help of those APIs, you can query tables in Flink that were created in your external catalogs (e.g. Hive Metastore). Additionally, depending on the catalog implementation, you can create new objects such as tables or views from Flink, reuse them across different jobs, and possibly even use them in other tools compatible with that catalog. In other words, you can see catalogs as having a two-fold purpose:\nProvide an out-of-the box integration with ecosystems such as RDBMSs or Hive that allows you to query external objects like tables, views, or functions with no additional connector configuration. The connector properties are automatically derived from the catalog itself.\nAct as a persistent store for Flink-specific metadata. In this mode, we additionally store connector properties alongside the logical metadata (e.g. schema, object name). That approach enables you to, for example, store a full definition of a Kafka-backed table with records serialized with Avro in Hive that can be later on used by Flink. However, as it incorporates Flink-specific properties, it can not be used by other tools that leverage Hive Metastore.\nAs of Flink 1.11, there are two catalog implementations supported by the community:\nA comprehensive Hive catalog\nA Postgres catalog (preview, read-only, for now)\nNote Flink does not store data at rest; it is a compute engine and requires other systems to consume input from and write its output. This means that Flink does not own the lifecycle of the data. Integration with Catalogs does not change that. Flink uses catalogs for metadata management only. All you need to do to start querying your tables defined in either of these metastores is to create the corresponding catalogs with connection parameters. Once this is done, you can use them the way you would in any relational database management system.\n-- create a catalog which gives access to the backing Postgres installation CREATE CATALOG postgres WITH ( \u0026#39;type\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;jdbc\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;property-version\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;1\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;base-url\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;jdbc:postgresql://postgres:5432/\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;default-database\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;postgres\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;username\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;postgres\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;password\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;example\u0026#39; ); -- create a catalog which gives access to the backing Hive installation CREATE CATALOG hive WITH ( \u0026#39;type\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;hive\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;property-version\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;1\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;hive-version\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;2.3.6\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;hive-conf-dir\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;/opt/hive-conf\u0026#39; ); After creating the catalogs, you can confirm that they are available to Flink and also list the databases or tables in each of these catalogs:\n\u0026gt; show catalogs; default_catalog hive postgres -- switch the default catalog to Hive \u0026gt; use catalog hive; \u0026gt; show databases; default -- hive\u0026#39;s default database \u0026gt; show tables; dev_orders \u0026gt; use catalog postgres; \u0026gt; show tables; prod_customer prod_nation prod_rates prod_region region_stats -- desribe a schema of a table in Postgres, the Postgres types are automatically mapped to -- Flink\u0026#39;s type system \u0026gt; describe prod_customer root |-- c_custkey: INT NOT NULL |-- c_name: VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL |-- c_address: VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL |-- c_nationkey: INT NOT NULL |-- c_phone: CHAR(15) NOT NULL |-- c_acctbal: DOUBLE NOT NULL |-- c_mktsegment: CHAR(10) NOT NULL |-- c_comment: VARCHAR(117) NOT NULL Now that you know which tables are available, you can write your first query. In this scenario, we keep customer orders in Hive (dev_orders) because of their volume, and reference customer data in Postgres (prod_customer) to be able to easily update it. Let’s write a query that shows customers and their orders by region and order priority for a specific day.\nUSE CATALOG postgres; SELECT r_name AS `region`, o_orderpriority AS `priority`, COUNT(DISTINCT c_custkey) AS `number_of_customers`, COUNT(o_orderkey) AS `number_of_orders` FROM `hive`.`default`.dev_orders -- we need to fully qualify the table in hive because we set the -- current catalog to Postgres JOIN prod_customer ON o_custkey = c_custkey JOIN prod_nation ON c_nationkey = n_nationkey JOIN prod_region ON n_regionkey = r_regionkey WHERE FLOOR(o_ordertime TO DAY) = TIMESTAMP \u0026#39;2020-04-01 0:00:00.000\u0026#39; AND NOT o_orderpriority = \u0026#39;4-NOT SPECIFIED\u0026#39; GROUP BY r_name, o_orderpriority ORDER BY r_name, o_orderpriority; Flink\u0026rsquo;s catalog support also covers storing Flink-specific objects in external catalogs that might not be fully usable by the corresponding external tools. The most notable use case for this is, for example, storing a table that describes a Kafka topic in a Hive catalog. Take the following DDL statement, that contains a watermark declaration as well as a set of connector properties that are not recognizable by Hive. You won\u0026rsquo;t be able to query the table with Hive, but it will be persisted and can be reused by different Flink jobs.\nUSE CATALOG hive; CREATE TABLE prod_lineitem ( l_orderkey INTEGER, l_partkey INTEGER, l_suppkey INTEGER, l_linenumber INTEGER, l_quantity DOUBLE, l_extendedprice DOUBLE, l_discount DOUBLE, l_tax DOUBLE, l_currency STRING, l_returnflag STRING, l_linestatus STRING, l_ordertime TIMESTAMP(3), l_shipinstruct STRING, l_shipmode STRING, l_comment STRING, l_proctime AS PROCTIME(), WATERMARK FOR l_ordertime AS l_ordertime - INTERVAL \u0026#39;5\u0026#39; SECONDS ) WITH ( \u0026#39;connector\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;kafka\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;topic\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;lineitem\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;scan.startup.mode\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;earliest-offset\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;properties.bootstrap.servers\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;kafka:9092\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;properties.group.id\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;testGroup\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;format\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;csv\u0026#39;, \u0026#39;csv.field-delimiter\u0026#39;=\u0026#39;|\u0026#39; ); With prod_lineitem stored in Hive, you can now write a query that will enrich the incoming stream with static data kept in Postgres.

In such environments, metadata management becomes a crucial aspect. Without it, users often work blindly, spending too much time searching for datasets and their location, figuring out data formats and similar cumbersome tasks.\nIn this blog post, we want to give you a high level overview of catalogs in Flink. We&rsquo;ll describe why you should consider using them and what you can achieve with one in place. To round it up, we&rsquo;ll also showcase how simple it is to combine catalogs and Flink, in the form of an end-to-end example that you can try out yourself.\nWhy do I need a catalog? # Frequently, companies start building a data platform with a metastore, catalog, or schema registry of some sort already in place. Those let you clearly separate making the data available from consuming it. That separation has a few benefits:\nImproved productivity - The most obvious one. Making data reusable and shifting the focus on building new models/pipelines rather than data cleansing and discovery. Security - You can control the access to certain features of the data. For example, you can make the schema of the dataset publicly available, but limit the actual access to the underlying data only to particular teams. Compliance - If you have all the metadata in a central entity, it&rsquo;s much easier to ensure compliance with GDPR and similar regulations and legal requirements. What is stored in a catalog? # Almost all data sets can be described by certain properties that must be known in order to consume them. Those include:\nSchema - It describes the actual contents of the data, what columns it has, what are the constraints (e.g. keys) on which the updates should be performed, which fields can act as time attributes, what are the rules for watermark generation and so on.\nLocation - Does the data come from Kafka or a file in a filesystem? How do you connect to the external system? Which topic or file name do you use?\nFormat - Is the data serialized as JSON, CSV, or maybe Avro records?\nStatistics - You can also store additional information that can be useful when creating an execution plan of your query. For example, you can choose the best join algorithm, based on the number of rows in joined datasets.\nCatalogs don’t have to be limited to the metadata of datasets. You can usually store other objects that can be reused in different scenarios, such as:\nFunctions - It&rsquo;s very common to have domain specific functions that can be helpful in different use cases. Instead of having to create them in each place separately, you can just create them once and share them with others.\nQueries - Those can be useful when you don’t want to persist a data set, but want to provide a recipe for creating it from other sources instead.\nCatalogs support in Flink SQL # Starting from version 1.9, Flink has a set of Catalog APIs that allows to integrate Flink with various catalog implementations. With the help of those APIs, you can query tables in Flink that were created in your external catalogs (e.g. Hive Metastore). Additionally, depending on the catalog implementation, you can create new objects such as tables or views from Flink, reuse them across different jobs, and possibly even use them in other tools compatible with that catalog. In other words, you can see catalogs as having a two-fold purpose:\nProvide an out-of-the box integration with ecosystems such as RDBMSs or Hive that allows you to query external objects like tables, views, or functions with no additional connector configuration. The connector properties are automatically derived from the catalog itself.\nAct as a persistent store for Flink-specific metadata. In this mode, we additionally store connector properties alongside the logical metadata (e.g. schema, object name). That approach enables you to, for example, store a full definition of a Kafka-backed table with records serialized with Avro in Hive that can be later on used by Flink. However, as it incorporates Flink-specific properties, it can not be used by other tools that leverage Hive Metastore.\nAs of Flink 1.11, there are two catalog implementations supported by the community:\nA comprehensive Hive catalog\nA Postgres catalog (preview, read-only, for now)\nNote Flink does not store data at rest; it is a compute engine and requires other systems to consume input from and write its output. This means that Flink does not own the lifecycle of the data. Integration with Catalogs does not change that. Flink uses catalogs for metadata management only. All you need to do to start querying your tables defined in either of these metastores is to create the corresponding catalogs with connection parameters. Once this is done, you can use them the way you would in any relational database management system.\n-- create a catalog which gives access to the backing Postgres installation CREATE CATALOG postgres WITH ( &#39;type&#39;=&#39;jdbc&#39;, &#39;property-version&#39;=&#39;1&#39;, &#39;base-url&#39;=&#39;jdbc:postgresql://postgres:5432/&#39;, &#39;default-database&#39;=&#39;postgres&#39;, &#39;username&#39;=&#39;postgres&#39;, &#39;password&#39;=&#39;example&#39; ); -- create a catalog which gives access to the backing Hive installation CREATE CATALOG hive WITH ( &#39;type&#39;=&#39;hive&#39;, &#39;property-version&#39;=&#39;1&#39;, &#39;hive-version&#39;=&#39;2.3.6&#39;, &#39;hive-conf-dir&#39;=&#39;/opt/hive-conf&#39; ); After creating the catalogs, you can confirm that they are available to Flink and also list the databases or tables in each of these catalogs:\n&gt; show catalogs; default_catalog hive postgres -- switch the default catalog to Hive &gt; use catalog hive; &gt; show databases; default -- hive&#39;s default database &gt; show tables; dev_orders &gt; use catalog postgres; &gt; show tables; prod_customer prod_nation prod_rates prod_region region_stats -- desribe a schema of a table in Postgres, the Postgres types are automatically mapped to -- Flink&#39;s type system &gt; describe prod_customer root |-- c_custkey: INT NOT NULL |-- c_name: VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL |-- c_address: VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL |-- c_nationkey: INT NOT NULL |-- c_phone: CHAR(15) NOT NULL |-- c_acctbal: DOUBLE NOT NULL |-- c_mktsegment: CHAR(10) NOT NULL |-- c_comment: VARCHAR(117) NOT NULL Now that you know which tables are available, you can write your first query. In this scenario, we keep customer orders in Hive (dev_orders) because of their volume, and reference customer data in Postgres (prod_customer) to be able to easily update it. Let’s write a query that shows customers and their orders by region and order priority for a specific day.\nUSE CATALOG postgres; SELECT r_name AS `region`, o_orderpriority AS `priority`, COUNT(DISTINCT c_custkey) AS `number_of_customers`, COUNT(o_orderkey) AS `number_of_orders` FROM `hive`.`default`.dev_orders -- we need to fully qualify the table in hive because we set the -- current catalog to Postgres JOIN prod_customer ON o_custkey = c_custkey JOIN prod_nation ON c_nationkey = n_nationkey JOIN prod_region ON n_regionkey = r_regionkey WHERE FLOOR(o_ordertime TO DAY) = TIMESTAMP &#39;2020-04-01 0:00:00.000&#39; AND NOT o_orderpriority = &#39;4-NOT SPECIFIED&#39; GROUP BY r_name, o_orderpriority ORDER BY r_name, o_orderpriority; Flink&rsquo;s catalog support also covers storing Flink-specific objects in external catalogs that might not be fully usable by the corresponding external tools. The most notable use case for this is, for example, storing a table that describes a Kafka topic in a Hive catalog. Take the following DDL statement, that contains a watermark declaration as well as a set of connector properties that are not recognizable by Hive. You won&rsquo;t be able to query the table with Hive, but it will be persisted and can be reused by different Flink jobs.\nUSE CATALOG hive; CREATE TABLE prod_lineitem ( l_orderkey INTEGER, l_partkey INTEGER, l_suppkey INTEGER, l_linenumber INTEGER, l_quantity DOUBLE, l_extendedprice DOUBLE, l_discount DOUBLE, l_tax DOUBLE, l_currency STRING, l_returnflag STRING, l_linestatus STRING, l_ordertime TIMESTAMP(3), l_shipinstruct STRING, l_shipmode STRING, l_comment STRING, l_proctime AS PROCTIME(), WATERMARK FOR l_ordertime AS l_ordertime - INTERVAL &#39;5&#39; SECONDS ) WITH ( &#39;connector&#39;=&#39;kafka&#39;, &#39;topic&#39;=&#39;lineitem&#39;, &#39;scan.startup.mode&#39;=&#39;earliest-offset&#39;, &#39;properties.bootstrap.servers&#39;=&#39;kafka:9092&#39;, &#39;properties.group.id&#39;=&#39;testGroup&#39;, &#39;format&#39;=&#39;csv&#39;, &#39;csv.field-delimiter&#39;=&#39;|&#39; ); With prod_lineitem stored in Hive, you can now write a query that will enrich the incoming stream with static data kept in Postgres. To illustrate how this works, let&rsquo;s calculate the item prices based on the current currency rates:\nUSE CATALOG postgres; SELECT l_proctime AS `querytime`, l_orderkey AS `order`, l_linenumber AS `linenumber`, l_currency AS `currency`, rs_rate AS `cur_rate`, (l_extendedprice * (1 - l_discount) * (1 + l_tax)) / rs_rate AS `open_in_euro` FROM hive.`default`.prod_lineitem JOIN prod_rates FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF l_proctime ON rs_symbol = l_currency WHERE l_linestatus = &#39;O&#39;; The query above uses a SYSTEM AS OF clause for executing a temporal join.

 These platforms aim at simplifying application submission internally by lifting all the operational burden from the end user. To submit Flink applications, these platforms usually expose only a centralized or low-parallelism endpoint (e.g. a Web frontend) for application submission that we will call the Deployer.
 One of the roadblocks that platform developers and maintainers often mention is that the Deployer can be a heavy resource consumer that is difficult to provision for. Provisioning for average load can lead to the Deployer service being overwhelmed with deployment requests (in the worst case, for all production applications in a short period of time), while planning based on top load leads to unnecessary costs. Building on this observation, Flink 1.11 introduces the Application Mode as a deployment option, which allows for a lightweight, more scalable application submission process that manages to spread more evenly the application deployment load across the nodes in the cluster.
 In order to understand the problem and how the Application Mode solves it, we start by describing briefly the current status of application execution in Flink, before describing the architectural changes introduced by the new deployment mode and how to leverage them.
-Application Execution in Flink # The execution of an application in Flink mainly involves three entities: the Client, the JobManager and the TaskManagers. The Client is responsible for submitting the application to the cluster, the JobManager is responsible for the necessary bookkeeping during execution, and the TaskManagers are the ones doing the actual computation. For more details please refer to Flink\u0026rsquo;s Architecture documentation page.

For more details please refer to Flink&rsquo;s Architecture documentation page.
 Current Deployment Modes # Before the introduction of the Application Mode in version 1.11, Flink allowed users to execute an application either on a Session or a Per-Job Cluster. The differences between the two have to do with the cluster lifecycle and the resource isolation guarantees they provide.
 Session Mode # Session Mode assumes an already running cluster and uses the resources of that cluster to execute any submitted application. Applications executed in the same (session) cluster use, and consequently compete for, the same resources. This has the advantage that you do not pay the resource overhead of spinning up a full cluster for every submitted job. But, if one of the jobs misbehaves or brings down a TaskManager, then all jobs running on that TaskManager will be affected by the failure. Apart from a negative impact on the job that caused the failure, this implies a potential massive recovery process with all the restarting jobs accessing the file system concurrently and making it unavailable to other services. Additionally, having a single cluster running multiple jobs implies more load for the JobManager, which is responsible for the bookkeeping of all the jobs in the cluster. This mode is ideal for short jobs where startup latency is of high importance, e.g. interactive queries.
 Per-Job Mode # In Per-Job Mode, the available cluster manager framework (e.g. YARN or Kubernetes) is used to spin up a Flink cluster for each submitted job, which is available to that job only. When the job finishes, the cluster is shut down and any lingering resources (e.g. files) are cleaned up. This mode allows for better resource isolation, as a misbehaving job cannot affect any other job. In addition, it spreads the load of bookkeeping across multiple entities, as each application has its own JobManager. Given the aforementioned resource isolation concerns of the Session Mode, users often opt for the Per-Job Mode for long-running jobs which are willing to accept some increase in startup latency in favor of resilience.
 To summarize, in Session Mode, the cluster lifecycle is independent of any job running on the cluster and all jobs running on the cluster share its resources. The per-job mode chooses to pay the price of spinning up a cluster for every submitted job, in order to provide better resource isolation guarantees as the resources are not shared across jobs. In this case, the lifecycle of the cluster is bound to that of the job.
-Application Submission # Flink application execution consists of two stages: pre-flight, when the users’ main() method is called; and runtime, which is triggered as soon as the user code calls execute(). The main() method constructs the user program using one of Flink’s APIs (DataStream API, Table API, DataSet API). When the main() method calls env.execute(), the user-defined pipeline is translated into a form that Flink\u0026rsquo;s runtime can understand, called the job graph, and it is shipped to the cluster.

 Despite their differences, both session and per-job modes execute the application’s main() method, i.e. the pre-flight phase, on the client side.1
 This is usually not a problem for individual users who already have all the dependencies of their jobs locally, and then submit their applications through a client running on their machine. But in the case of submission through a remote entity like the Deployer, this process includes:

 Creating a cluster per application can be seen as creating a session cluster shared only among the jobs of a particular application and torn down when the application finishes. With this architecture, the Application Mode provides the same resource isolation and load balancing guarantees as the Per-Job Mode, but at the granularity of a whole application. This makes sense, as jobs belonging to the same application are expected to be correlated and treated as a unit.
 Executing the main() method on the JobManager allows saving the CPU cycles required for extracting the job graph, but also the bandwidth required on the client for downloading the dependencies locally and shipping the job graph and its dependencies to the cluster. Furthermore, it spreads the network load more evenly, as there is one JobManager per application. This is illustrated in the figure above, where we have the same scenario as in the session and per-job deployment mode section, but this time the client load has shifted to the JobManager of each application.
 Note In the Application Mode, the main() method is executed on the cluster and not on the Client, as in the other modes. This may have implications for your code as, for example, any paths you register in your environment using the registerCachedFile() must be accessible by the JobManager of your application. Compared to the Per-Job Mode, the Application Mode allows the submission of applications consisting of multiple jobs. The order of job execution is not affected by the deployment mode but by the call used to launch the job. Using the blocking execute() method establishes an order and will lead to the execution of the “next” job being postponed until “this” job finishes. In contrast, the non-blocking executeAsync() method will immediately continue to submit the “next” job as soon as the current job is submitted.
-Reducing Network Requirements # As described above, by executing the application\u0026rsquo;s main() method on the JobManager, the Application Mode manages to save a lot of the resources previously required during job submission. But there is still room for improvement.
-Focusing on YARN, which already supports all the optimizations mentioned here2, and even with the Application Mode in place, the Client is still required to send the user jar to the JobManager. In addition, for each application, the Client has to ship to the cluster the \u0026ldquo;flink-dist\u0026rdquo; directory which contains the binaries of the framework itself, including the flink-dist.jar, lib/ and plugin/ directories. These two can account for a substantial amount of bandwidth on the client side. Furthermore, shipping the same flink-dist binaries on every submission is both a waste of bandwidth but also of storage space which can be alleviated by simply allowing applications to share the same binaries.

 Table API/SQL: Support for Change Data Capture (CDC) # Change Data Capture (CDC) has become a popular pattern to capture committed changes from a database and propagate those changes to downstream consumers, for example to keep multiple datastores in sync and avoid common pitfalls such as dual writes. Being able to easily ingest and interpret these changelogs into the Table API/SQL has been a highly demanded feature in the Flink community — and it’s now possible with Flink 1.11.
 To extend the scope of the Table API/SQL to use cases like CDC, Flink 1.11 introduces new table source and sink interfaces with changelog mode (see New TableSource and TableSink Interfaces) and support for the Debezium and Canal formats (FLIP-105). This means that dynamic tables sources are no longer limited to append-only operations and can ingest these external changelogs (INSERT events), interpret them into change operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE events) and emit them downstream with the change type.
 Users have to specify either “format=debezium-json” or “format=canal-json” in their CREATE TABLE statement to consume changelogs using SQL DDL.

There are also plans to support MySQL binlogs and Kafka compacted topics as sources, as well as to extend changelog support to batch execution.

 Table API/SQL: JDBC Catalog Interface and Postgres Catalog # Flink 1.11 introduces a generic JDBC catalog interface (FLIP-93) that enables users of the Table API/SQL to derive table schemas automatically from connections to relational databases over JDBC. This eliminates the previous need for manual schema definition and type conversion, and also allows to check for schema errors at compile time instead of runtime.
 The first implementation, rolling out with the new release, is the Postgres catalog.
 Table API/SQL: FileSystem Connector with Support for Avro, ORC and Parquet # To improve the user experience for end-to-end streaming ETL use cases, the Flink community worked on a new FileSystem Connector for the Table API/SQL (FLIP-115). The implementation is based on Flink’s FileSystem abstraction and reuses StreamingFileSink to ensure the same set of capabilities and consistent behaviour with the DataStream API.
 This also means that Table API/SQL users can now make use of all formats already supported by StreamingFileSink, like (Avro) Parquet, as well as the new formats introduced with this release, like Avro (FLINK-11395) and Orc (FLINK-10114).

 High serialization/deserialization overhead in the process of transferring data between the JVM and the Python processes;
 Hard to integrate with common Python libraries for high-performance numerical processing like pandas and NumPy.
 To overcome these limitations, the community introduced support for (scalar) vectorized Python UDFs based on pandas in Flink 1.11 (FLIP-97). The performance of vectorized UDFs is usually much higher, as the serialization/deserialization overhead is minimized by falling back to Apache Arrow; and handling pandas.Series as input/output allows to take full advantage of the pandas and NumPy libraries. This makes Pandas UDFs a popular solution to parallelize Machine Learning and other large-scale, distributed data science workloads (e.g. feature engineering, distributed model application).

 Streaming Data Visualization # With Zeppelin, you can build a real time streaming dashboard without writing any line of javascript/html/css code.
 Overall, Zeppelin supports 3 kinds of streaming data analytics:
 Single Mode Update Mode Append Mode Single Mode # Single mode is used for cases when the result of a SQL statement is always one row, such as the following example. The output format is translated in HTML, and you can specify a paragraph local property template for the final output content template. And you can use {i} as placeholder for the {i}th column of the result.
 Update Mode # Update mode is suitable for the cases when the output format is more than one row, and will always be continuously updated. Here’s one example where we use GROUP BY.
 Append Mode # Append mode is suitable for the cases when the output data is always appended. For instance, the example below uses a tumble window.
 UDF # SQL is a very powerful language, especially in expressing data flow. But most of the time, you need to handle complicated business logic that cannot be expressed by SQL. In these cases UDFs (user-defined functions) come particularly handy. In Zeppelin, you can write Scala or Python UDFs, while you can also import Scala, Python and Java UDFs. Here are 2 examples of Scala and Python UDFs:
-Scala UDF %flink class ScalaUpper extends ScalarFunction { def eval(str: String) = str.toUpperCase } btenv.registerFunction(\u0026#34;scala_upper\u0026#34;, new ScalaUpper()) Python UDF %flink.pyflink class PythonUpper(ScalarFunction): def eval(self, s): return s.upper() bt_env.register_function(\u0026#34;python_upper\u0026#34;, udf(PythonUpper(), DataTypes.STRING(), DataTypes.STRING())) After you define the UDFs, you can use them directly in SQL:

 You can use Flink SQL to perform streaming ETL by following the steps below (for the full tutorial, please refer to the Flink Tutorial/Streaming ETL tutorial of the Zeppelin distribution):
-Step 1. Create source table to represent the source data. Step 2. Create a sink table to represent the processed data. Step 3. After creating the source and sink table, we can insert them to our statement to trigger the stream processing job as the following: Step 4. After initiating the streaming job, you can use another SQL statement to query the sink table to verify the results of your job. Here you can see the top 10 records which will be refreshed every 3 seconds.

 The Past Month in Flink # Flink Stateful Functions 2.1 Release # It might seem like Stateful Functions 2.0 was announced only a handful of weeks ago (and it was!), but the Flink community has just released Stateful Functions 2.1! This release introduces two new features: state expiration for any kind of persisted state and support for UNIX Domain Sockets (UDS) to improve the performance of inter-container communication in co-located deployments; as well as other important changes that improve the overall stability and testability of the project. You can read the announcement blogpost for more details on the release!
 As the community around StateFun grows, the release cycle will follow this pattern of smaller and more frequent releases to incorporate user feedback and allow for faster iteration. If you’d like to get involved, we’re always looking for new contributors — especially around SDKs for other languages (e.g. Go, Rust, Javascript).
 Testing is ON for Flink 1.11 # Things have been pretty quiet in the Flink community, as all efforts shifted to testing the newest features shipping with Flink 1.11. While we wait for a voting Release Candidate (RC) to be out, you can check the progress of testing in this JIRA burndown board and learn more about some of the upcoming features in these Flink Forward videos:

 New Features and Improvements # Support for State Time-To-Live (TTL) # Being able to define state expiration and a state cleanup strategy is a useful feature for stateful applications — for example, to keep state size from growing indefinitely or to work with sensitive data. In previous StateFun versions, users could implement this behavior manually using delayed messages as state expiration callbacks. For StateFun 2.1, the community has worked on enabling users to configure any persisted state to expire and be purged after a given duration (i.e. the state time-to-live) (FLINK-17644, FLINK-17875).
 Persisted state can be configured to expire after the last write operation (AFTER_WRITE) or after the last read or write operation (AFTER_READ_AND_WRITE). For the Java SDK, users can configure State TTL in the definition of their persisted fields:
-@Persisted PersistedValue\u0026lt;Integer\u0026gt; table = PersistedValue.of( \u0026#34;my-value\u0026#34;, Integer.class, Expiration.expireAfterWriting(Duration.ofHours(1))); For remote functions using e.g. the Python SDK, users can configure State TTL in their module.yaml:
+@Persisted PersistedValue&lt;Integer&gt; table = PersistedValue.of( &#34;my-value&#34;, Integer.class, Expiration.expireAfterWriting(Duration.ofHours(1))); For remote functions using e.g. the Python SDK, users can configure State TTL in their module.yaml:
 functions: - function: states: - name: xxxx expireAfter: 5min # optional key Note: The state expiration mode for remote functions is currently restricted to AFTER_READ_AND_WRITE, and the actual TTL being set is the longest duration across all registered state, not for each individual state entry. This is planned to be improved in upcoming releases (FLINK-17954). Improved Performance with UNIX Domain Sockets (UDS) # Stateful functions can be deployed in multiple ways, even within the same application. For deployments where functions are co-located with the Flink StateFun workers, it’s common to use Kubernetes to deploy pods consisting of a Flink StateFun container and the function sidecar container, communicating via the pod-local network. To improve the performance of such deployments, StateFun 2.1 allows using Unix Domain Sockets (UDS) to communicate between containers in the same pod (i.e. the same machine) (FLINK-17611), which drastically reduces the overhead of going through the network stack.
 Users can enable transport via UDS in a remote module by specifying the following in their module.yaml:
-functions: - function: spec: - endpoint: http(s)+unix://\u0026lt;socket-file-path\u0026gt;/\u0026lt;serve-url-path\u0026gt; Important Changes # [FLINK-17712] The Flink version in StateFun 2.1 has been upgraded to 1.10.1, the most recent patch version.

 [FLINK-17533] StateFun 2.1 now supports concurrent checkpoints, which means applications will no longer fail on savepoints that are triggered concurrently to a checkpoint.
 [FLINK-16928] StateFun 2.0 was using the Flink legacy scheduler due to a bug in Flink 1.10. In 2.1, this change is reverted to using the new Flink scheduler again.
 [FLINK-17516] The coverage for end-to-end StateFun tests has been extended to also include exactly-once semantics verification (with failure recovery).

This time around, we’re warming up for Flink 1.11 and peeping back to the month of April in the Flink community — with the release of Stateful Functions 2.0, a new self-paced Flink training and some efforts to improve the Flink documentation experience.

 The Past Month in Flink # Flink Stateful Functions 2.0 is out! # In the beginning of April, the Flink community announced the release of Stateful Functions 2.0 — the first as part of the Apache Flink project. From this release, you can use Flink as the base of a (stateful) serverless platform with out-of-the-box consistent and scalable state, and efficient messaging between functions. You can even run your stateful functions on platforms like AWS Lambda, as Gordon (@tzulitai) demonstrated in his Flink Forward talk.
 It’s been encouraging to see so many questions about Stateful Functions popping up in the mailing list and Stack Overflow! If you’d like to get involved, we’re always looking for new contributors — especially around SDKs for other languages like Go, Javascript and Rust.
 Warming up for Flink 1.11 # The final preparations for the release of Flink 1.11 are well underway, with the feature freeze scheduled for May 15th, and there’s a lot of new features and improvements to look out for:
 On the usability side, you can expect a big focus on smoothing data ingestion with contributions like support for Change Data Capture (CDC) in the Table API/SQL (FLIP-105), easy streaming data ingestion into Apache Hive (FLIP-115) or support for Pandas DataFrames in PyFlink (FLIP-120). A great deal of effort has also gone into maturing PyFlink, with the introduction of user defined metrics in Python UDFs (FLIP-112) and the extension of Python UDF support beyond the Python Table API (FLIP-106,FLIP-114).
 On the operational side, the much anticipated new Source API (FLIP-27) will unify batch and streaming sources, and improve out-of-the-box event-time behavior; while unaligned checkpoints (FLIP-76) and changes to network memory management will allow to speed up checkpointing under backpressure — this is part of a bigger effort to rethink fault tolerance that will introduce many other non-trivial changes to Flink. You can learn more about it in this recent Flink Forward talk!

 The Bigger Picture # A new self-paced Apache Flink training # This week, the Flink website received the invaluable contribution of a self-paced training course curated by David (@alpinegizmo) — or, what used to be the entire training materials under training.ververica.com. The new materials guide you through the very basics of Flink and the DataStream API, and round off every concepts section with hands-on exercises to help you better assimilate what you learned.
-Whether you\u0026rsquo;re new to Flink or just looking to strengthen your foundations, this training is the most comprehensive way to get started and is now completely open source: https://flink.apache.org/training.html. For now, the materials are only available in English, but the community intends to also provide a Chinese translation in the future.

+Google Season of Docs 2020 # Google Season of Docs (GSOD) is a great initiative organized by Google Open Source to pair technical writers with mentors to work on documentation for open source projects. Last year, the Flink community submitted an application that unfortunately didn’t make the cut — but we are trying again! This time, with a project idea to improve the Table API &amp; SQL documentation:
+1) Restructure the Table API &amp; SQL Documentation
 Reworking the current documentation structure would allow to:
 Lower the entry barrier to Flink for non-programmatic (i.e. SQL) users.
 Make the available features more easily discoverable.
 Improve the flow and logical correlation of topics.
 FLIP-60 contains a detailed proposal on how to reorganize the existing documentation, which can be used as a starting point.
-2) Extend the Table API \u0026amp; SQL Documentation
+2) Extend the Table API &amp; SQL Documentation
 Some areas of the documentation have insufficient detail or are not accessible for new Flink users. Examples of topics and sections that require attention are: planners, built-in functions, connectors, overview and concepts sections. There is a lot of work to be done and the technical writer could choose what areas to focus on — these improvements could then be added to the documentation rework umbrella issue (FLINK-12639).

 Why Apply? # As one of the most active projects in the ASF, Flink is experiencing a boom in contributions and some major changes to its codebase. And, while the project has also seen a significant increase in activity when it comes to writing, reviewing and translating documentation, it’s hard to keep up with the pace.
-Since last year, the community has been working on FLIP-42 to improve the documentation experience and bring a more accessible information architecture to Flink. After some discussion, we agreed that GSoD would be a valuable opportunity to double down on this effort and collaborate with someone who is passionate about technical writing\u0026hellip;and Flink!

+1) Restructure the Table API &amp; SQL Documentation
 Reworking the current documentation structure would allow to:
 Lower the entry barrier to Flink for non-programmatic (i.e. SQL) users. Make the available features more easily discoverable. Improve the flow and logical correlation of topics. FLIP-60 contains a detailed proposal on how to reorganize the existing documentation, which can be used as a starting point.
-2) Extend the Table API \u0026amp; SQL Documentation
+2) Extend the Table API &amp; SQL Documentation
 Some areas of the documentation have insufficient detail or are not accessible for new Flink users. Examples of topics and sections that require attention are: planners, built-in functions, connectors, overview and concepts sections. There is a lot of work to be done and the technical writer could choose what areas to focus on — these improvements could then be added to the documentation rework umbrella issue (FLINK-12639).

In this post, we describe Flink’s memory model, as it stands in Flink 1.10, how to set up and manage memory consumption of your Flink applications and the recent changes the community implemented in the latest Apache Flink release.
 Introduction to Flink’s memory model # Having a clear understanding of Apache Flink’s memory model allows you to manage resources for the various workloads more efficiently. The following diagram illustrates the main memory components in Flink:
 Flink: Total Process Memory The Task Manager process is a JVM process. On a high level, its memory consists of the JVM Heap and Off-Heap memory. These types of memory are consumed by Flink directly or by JVM for its specific purposes (i.e. metaspace etc.). There are two major memory consumers within Flink: the user code of job operator tasks and the framework itself consuming memory for internal data structures, network buffers, etc.
 Please note that the user code has direct access to all memory types: JVM Heap, Direct and Native memory. Therefore, Flink cannot really control its allocation and usage. There are however two types of Off-Heap memory which are consumed by tasks and controlled explicitly by Flink:
@@ -2978,42 +3033,42 @@
 JVM metaspace requires additional memory. If you encounter OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace, Flink provides an option to increase its limit and the JVM will ensure that it is not exceeded.
 JVM requires more internal memory. There is no direct control over certain types of JVM process allocations but Flink provides JVM Overhead options. The options allow declaring an additional amount of memory, anticipated for those allocations and not covered by other options.
 Conclusion # The latest Flink release (Flink 1.10) introduces some significant changes to Flink’s memory configuration, making it possible to manage your application memory and debug Flink significantly better than before. Future developments in this area also include adopting a similar memory model for the job manager process in FLIP-116, so stay tuned for more additions and features in upcoming releases. If you have any suggestions or questions for the community, we encourage you to sign up to the Apache Flink mailing lists and become part of the discussion there.

 Since serialization is so crucial to your Flink job, we would like to highlight Flink’s serialization stack in a series of blog posts starting with looking at the different ways Flink can serialize your data types.
-Recap: Flink Serialization # Flink handles data types and serialization with its own type descriptors, generic type extraction, and type serialization framework. We recommend reading through the documentation first in order to be able to follow the arguments we present below. In essence, Flink tries to infer information about your job’s data types for wire and state serialization, and to be able to use grouping, joining, and aggregation operations by referring to individual field names, e.g. stream.keyBy(“ruleId”) or dataSet.join(another).where(\u0026quot;name\u0026quot;).equalTo(\u0026quot;personName\u0026quot;). It also allows optimizations in the serialization format as well as reducing unnecessary de/serializations (mainly in certain Batch operations as well as in the SQL/Table APIs).
-Choice of Serializer # Apache Flink\u0026rsquo;s out-of-the-box serialization can be roughly divided into the following groups:

It also allows optimizations in the serialization format as well as reducing unnecessary de/serializations (mainly in certain Batch operations as well as in the SQL/Table APIs).
+Choice of Serializer # Apache Flink&rsquo;s out-of-the-box serialization can be roughly divided into the following groups:
 Flink-provided special serializers for basic types (Java primitives and their boxed form), arrays, composite types (tuples, Scala case classes, Rows), and a few auxiliary types (Option, Either, Lists, Maps, …),
 POJOs; a public, standalone class with a public no-argument constructor and all non-static, non-transient fields in the class hierarchy either public or with a public getter- and a setter-method; see POJO Rules,
 Generic types; user-defined data types that are not recognized as a POJO and then serialized via Kryo.
 Alternatively, you can also register custom serializers for user-defined data types. This includes writing your own serializers or integrating other serialization systems like Google Protobuf or Apache Thrift via Kryo. Overall, this gives quite a number of different options of serializing user-defined data types and we will elaborate seven of them in the sections below.
 PojoSerializer # As outlined above, if your data type is not covered by a specialized serializer but follows the POJO Rules, it will be serialized with the PojoSerializer which uses Java reflection to access an object’s fields. It is fast, generic, Flink-specific, and supports state schema evolution out of the box. If a composite data type cannot be serialized as a POJO, you will find the following message (or similar) in your cluster logs:
-15:45:51,460 INFO org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.TypeExtractor - Class … cannot be used as a POJO type because not all fields are valid POJO fields, and must be processed as GenericType. Please read the Flink documentation on \u0026ldquo;Data Types \u0026amp; Serialization\u0026rdquo; for details of the effect on performance.
+15:45:51,460 INFO org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.TypeExtractor - Class … cannot be used as a POJO type because not all fields are valid POJO fields, and must be processed as GenericType. Please read the Flink documentation on &ldquo;Data Types &amp; Serialization&rdquo; for details of the effect on performance.
 This means, that the PojoSerializer will not be used, but instead Flink will fall back to Kryo for serialization (see below). We will have a more detailed look into a few (more) situations that can lead to unexpected Kryo fallbacks in the second part of this blog post series.
-Tuple Data Types # Flink comes with a predefined set of tuple types which all have a fixed length and contain a set of strongly-typed fields of potentially different types. There are implementations for Tuple0, Tuple1\u0026lt;T0\u0026gt;, …, Tuple25\u0026lt;T0, T1, ..., T24\u0026gt; and they may serve as easy-to-use wrappers that spare the creation of POJOs for each and every combination of objects you need to pass between computations. With the exception of Tuple0, these are serialized and deserialized with the TupleSerializer and the according fields’ serializers. Since tuple classes are completely under the control of Flink, both actions can be performed without reflection by accessing the appropriate fields directly. This certainly is a (performance) advantage when working with tuples instead of POJOs. Tuples, however, are not as flexible and certainly less descriptive in code.
-Note Since \`Tuple0\` does not contain any data and therefore is probably a bit special anyway, it will use a special serializer implementation: [Tuple0Serializer](https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/release-1.10.0/flink-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/api/java/typeutils/runtime/Tuple0Serializer.java). Row Data Types # Row types are mainly used by the Table and SQL APIs of Flink. A Row groups an arbitrary number of objects together similar to the tuples above. These fields are not strongly typed and may all be of different types. Because field types are missing, Flink’s type extraction cannot automatically extract type information and users of a Row need to manually tell Flink about the row\u0026rsquo;s field types. The RowSerializer will then make use of these types for efficient serialization.

 Row type information can be provided in two ways:
-you can have your source or operator implement ResultTypeQueryable\u0026lt;Row\u0026gt;: public static class RowSource implements SourceFunction\u0026lt;Row\u0026gt;, ResultTypeQueryable\u0026lt;Row\u0026gt; { // ... @Override public TypeInformation\u0026lt;Row\u0026gt; getProducedType() { return Types.ROW(Types.INT, Types.STRING, Types.OBJECT_ARRAY(Types.STRING)); } } you can provide the types when building the job graph by using SingleOutputStreamOperator#returns() DataStream\u0026lt;Row\u0026gt; sourceStream = env.addSource(new RowSource()) .returns(Types.ROW(Types.INT, Types.STRING, Types.OBJECT_ARRAY(Types.STRING))); Warning If you fail to provide the type information for a \`Row\`, Flink identifies that \`Row\` is not a valid POJO type according to the rules above and falls back to Kryo serialization (see below) which you will also see in the logs as: 13:10:11,148 INFO org.apache.flink.api.java.typeutils.TypeExtractor - Class class org.apache.flink.types.Row cannot be used as a POJO type because not all fields are valid POJO fields, and must be processed as GenericType.

 Avro # Flink offers built-in support for the Apache Avro serialization framework (currently using version 1.8.2) by adding the org.apache.flink:flink-avro dependency into your job. Flink’s AvroSerializer can then use Avro’s specific, generic, and reflective data serialization and make use of Avro’s performance and flexibility, especially in terms of evolving the schema when the classes change over time.
 Avro Specific # Avro specific records will be automatically detected by checking that the given type’s type hierarchy contains the SpecificRecordBase class. You can either specify your concrete Avro type, or—if you want to be more generic and allow different types in your operator—use the SpecificRecordBase type (or a subtype) in your user functions, in ResultTypeQueryable#getProducedType(), or in SingleOutputStreamOperator#returns(). Since specific records use generated Java code, they are strongly typed and allow direct access to the fields via known getters and setters.
 Warning If you specify the Flink type as \`SpecificRecord\` and not \`SpecificRecordBase\`, Flink will not see this as an Avro type. Instead, it will use Kryo to de/serialize any objects which may be considerably slower. Avro Generic # Avro’s GenericRecord types cannot, unfortunately, be used automatically since they require the user to specify a schema (either manually or by retrieving it from some schema registry). With that schema, you can provide the right type information by either of the following options just like for the Row Types above:
-implement ResultTypeQueryable\u0026lt;GenericRecord\u0026gt;: public static class AvroGenericSource implements SourceFunction\u0026lt;GenericRecord\u0026gt;, ResultTypeQueryable\u0026lt;GenericRecord\u0026gt; { private final GenericRecordAvroTypeInfo producedType; public AvroGenericSource(Schema schema) { this.producedType = new GenericRecordAvroTypeInfo(schema); } @Override public TypeInformation\u0026lt;GenericRecord\u0026gt; getProducedType() { return producedType; } } provide type information when building the job graph by using SingleOutputStreamOperator#returns() DataStream\u0026lt;GenericRecord\u0026gt; sourceStream = env.addSource(new AvroGenericSource()) .returns(new GenericRecordAvroTypeInfo(schema)); Without this type information, Flink will fall back to Kryo for serialization which would serialize the schema into every record, over and over again. As a result, the serialized form will be bigger and more costly to create.
+implement ResultTypeQueryable&lt;GenericRecord&gt;: public static class AvroGenericSource implements SourceFunction&lt;GenericRecord&gt;, ResultTypeQueryable&lt;GenericRecord&gt; { private final GenericRecordAvroTypeInfo producedType; public AvroGenericSource(Schema schema) { this.producedType = new GenericRecordAvroTypeInfo(schema); } @Override public TypeInformation&lt;GenericRecord&gt; getProducedType() { return producedType; } } provide type information when building the job graph by using SingleOutputStreamOperator#returns() DataStream&lt;GenericRecord&gt; sourceStream = env.addSource(new AvroGenericSource()) .returns(new GenericRecordAvroTypeInfo(schema)); Without this type information, Flink will fall back to Kryo for serialization which would serialize the schema into every record, over and over again. As a result, the serialized form will be bigger and more costly to create.
 Note Since Avro’s \`Schema\` class is not serializable, it can not be sent around as is. You can work around this by converting it to a String and parsing it back when needed. If you only do this once on initialization, there is practically no difference to sending it directly. Avro Reflect # The third way of using Avro is to exchange Flink’s PojoSerializer (for POJOs according to the rules above) for Avro’s reflection-based serializer. This can be enabled by calling
 env.getConfig().enableForceAvro(); Kryo # Any class or object which does not fall into the categories above or is covered by a Flink-provided special serializer is de/serialized with a fallback to Kryo (currently version 2.24.0) which is a powerful and generic serialization framework in Java. Flink calls such a type a generic type and you may stumble upon GenericTypeInfo when debugging code. If you are using Kryo serialization, make sure to register your types with kryo:
 env.getConfig().registerKryoType(MyCustomType.class); Registering types adds them to an internal map of classes to tags so that, during serialization, Kryo does not have to add the fully qualified class names as a prefix into the serialized form. Instead, Kryo uses these (integer) tags to identify the underlying classes and reduce serialization overhead.
 Note Flink will store Kryo serializer mappings from type registrations in its checkpoints and savepoints and will retain them across job (re)starts. Disabling Kryo # If desired, you can disable the Kryo fallback, i.e. the ability to serialize generic types, by calling
 env.getConfig().disableGenericTypes(); This is mostly useful for finding out where these fallbacks are applied and replacing them with better serializers. If your job has any generic types with this configuration, it will fail with
-Exception in thread \u0026ldquo;main\u0026rdquo; java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Generic types have been disabled in the ExecutionConfig and type … is treated as a generic type.
+Exception in thread &ldquo;main&rdquo; java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Generic types have been disabled in the ExecutionConfig and type … is treated as a generic type.
 If you cannot immediately see from the type where it is being used, this log message also gives you a stacktrace that can be used to set breakpoints and find out more details in your IDE.
 Apache Thrift (via Kryo) # In addition to the variants above, Flink also allows you to register other type serialization frameworks with Kryo. After adding the appropriate dependencies from the documentation (com.twitter:chill-thrift and org.apache.thrift:libthrift), you can use Apache Thrift like the following:
 env.getConfig().addDefaultKryoSerializer(MyCustomType.class, TBaseSerializer.class); This only works if generic types are not disabled and MyCustomType is a Thrift-generated data type. If the data type is not generated by Thrift, Flink will fail at runtime with an exception like this:
-java.lang.ClassCastException: class MyCustomType cannot be cast to class org.apache.thrift.TBase (MyCustomType and org.apache.thrift.TBase are in unnamed module of loader \u0026lsquo;app\u0026rsquo;)
+java.lang.ClassCastException: class MyCustomType cannot be cast to class org.apache.thrift.TBase (MyCustomType and org.apache.thrift.TBase are in unnamed module of loader &lsquo;app&rsquo;)
 Note Please note that \`TBaseSerializer\` can be registered as a default Kryo serializer as above (and as specified in [its documentation](https://github.com/twitter/chill/blob/v0.7.6/chill-thrift/src/main/java/com/twitter/chill/thrift/TBaseSerializer.java)) or via \`registerTypeWithKryoSerializer\`. In practice, we found both ways working. We also saw no difference between registering Thrift classes in addition to the call above. Both may be different in your scenario. Protobuf (via Kryo) # In a way similar to Apache Thrift, Google Protobuf may be registered as a custom serializer after adding the right dependencies (com.twitter:chill-protobuf and com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java):
 env.getConfig().registerTypeWithKryoSerializer(MyCustomType.class, ProtobufSerializer.class); This will work as long as generic types have not been disabled (this would disable Kryo for good). If MyCustomType is not a Protobuf-generated class, your Flink job will fail at runtime with the following exception:
-java.lang.ClassCastException: class MyCustomType cannot be cast to class com.google.protobuf.Message (MyCustomType and com.google.protobuf.Message are in unnamed module of loader \u0026lsquo;app\u0026rsquo;)
+java.lang.ClassCastException: class MyCustomType cannot be cast to class com.google.protobuf.Message (MyCustomType and com.google.protobuf.Message are in unnamed module of loader &lsquo;app&rsquo;)
 Note Please note that \`ProtobufSerializer\` can be registered as a default Kryo serializer (as specified in the [Protobuf documentation](https://github.com/twitter/chill/blob/v0.7.6/chill-thrift/src/main/java/com/twitter/chill/thrift/TBaseSerializer.java)) or via \`registerTypeWithKryoSerializer\` (as presented here). In practice, we found both ways working. We also saw no difference between registering your Protobuf classes in addition to the call above. Both may be different in your scenario. State Schema Evolution # Before taking a closer look at the performance of each of the serializers described above, we would like to emphasize that performance is not everything that counts inside a real-world Flink job. Types for storing state, for example, should be able to evolve their schema (add/remove/change fields) throughout the lifetime of the job without losing previous state. This is what Flink calls State Schema Evolution. Currently, as of Flink 1.10, there are only two serializers that support out-of-the-box schema evolution: POJO and Avro. For anything else, if you want to change the state schema, you will have to either implement your own custom serializers or use the State Processor API to modify your state for the new code.
 Performance Comparison # With so many options for serialization, it is actually not easy to make the right choice. We already saw some technical advantages and disadvantages of each of them outlined above. Since serializers are at the core of your Flink jobs and usually also sit on the hot path (per record invocations), let us actually take a deeper look into their performance with the help of the Flink benchmarks project at https://github.com/dataArtisans/flink-benchmarks. This project adds a few micro-benchmarks on top of Flink (some more low-level than others) to track performance regressions and improvements. Flink’s continuous benchmarks for monitoring the serialization stack’s performance are implemented in SerializationFrameworkMiniBenchmarks.java. This is only a subset of all available serialization benchmarks though and you will find the complete set in SerializationFrameworkAllBenchmarks.java. All of these use the same definition of a small POJO that may cover average use cases. Essentially (without constructors, getters, and setters), these are the data types that it uses for evaluating performance:
 public class MyPojo { public int id; private String name; private String[] operationNames; private MyOperation[] operations; private int otherId1; private int otherId2; private int otherId3; private Object someObject; } public class MyOperation { int id; protected String name; } This is mapped to tuples, rows, Avro specific records, Thrift and Protobuf representations appropriately and sent through a simple Flink job at parallelism 4 where the data type is used during network communication like this:
-env.setParallelism(4); env.addSource(new PojoSource(RECORDS_PER_INVOCATION, 10)) .rebalance() .addSink(new DiscardingSink\u0026lt;\u0026gt;()); After running this through the jmh micro-benchmarks defined in SerializationFrameworkAllBenchmarks.java, I retrieved the following performance results for Flink 1.10 on my machine (in number of operations per millisecond): A few takeaways from these numbers:
+env.setParallelism(4); env.addSource(new PojoSource(RECORDS_PER_INVOCATION, 10)) .rebalance() .addSink(new DiscardingSink&lt;&gt;()); After running this through the jmh micro-benchmarks defined in SerializationFrameworkAllBenchmarks.java, I retrieved the following performance results for Flink 1.10 on my machine (in number of operations per millisecond): A few takeaways from these numbers:

 Registering types with Kryo significantly improves its performance with only 64% fewer operations than by using a POJO.
 Avro GenericRecord and SpecificRecord are roughly serialized at the same speed.
@@ -3022,20 +3077,20 @@
 Using a (nested) Tuple instead of a POJO may speed up your job by 42% (but is less flexible!). Having code-generation for the PojoSerializer (FLINK-3599) may actually close that gap (or at least move closer to the RowSerializer). If you feel like giving the implementation a go, please give the Flink community a note and we will see whether we can make that happen.
 If you cannot use POJOs, try to define your data type with one of the serialization frameworks that generate specific code for it: Protobuf, Avro, Thrift (in that order, performance-wise).
 Note As with all benchmarks, please bear in mind that these numbers only give a hint on Flink’s serializer performance in a specific scenario. They may be different with your data types but the rough classification is probably the same. If you want to be sure, please verify the results with your data types. You should be able to copy from \`SerializationFrameworkAllBenchmarks.java\` to set up your own micro-benchmarks or integrate different serialization benchmarks into your own tooling. Conclusion # In the sections above, we looked at how Flink performs serialization for different sorts of data types and elaborated the technical advantages and disadvantages. For data types used in Flink state, you probably want to leverage either POJO or Avro types which, currently, are the only ones supporting state evolution out of the box and allow your stateful application to develop over time. POJOs are usually faster in the de/serialization while Avro may support more flexible schema evolution and may integrate better with external systems. Please note, however, that you can use different serializers for external vs. internal components or even state vs. network communication.
-The fastest de/serialization is achieved with Flink’s internal tuple and row serializers which can access these types\u0026rsquo; fields directly without going via reflection. With roughly 30% decreased throughput as compared to tuples, Protobuf and POJO types do not perform too badly on their own and are more flexible and maintainable. Avro (specific and generic) records as well as Thrift data types further reduce performance by 20% and 30%, respectively. You definitely want to avoid Kryo as that reduces throughput further by around 50% and more!

 Python Support for UDFs in Flink 1.10 # Before diving into how you can define and use Python UDFs, we explain the motivation and background behind how UDFs work in PyFlink and provide some additional context about the implementation of our approach. Below we give a brief introduction on the PyFlink architecture from job submission, all the way to executing the Python UDF.
 The PyFlink architecture mainly includes two parts — local and cluster — as shown in the architecture visual below. The local phase is the compilation of the job, and the cluster is the execution of the job.
 For the local part, the Python API is a mapping of the Java API: each time Python executes a method in the figure above, it will synchronously call the method corresponding to Java through Py4J, and finally generate a Java JobGraph, before submitting it to the cluster.
-For the cluster part, just like ordinary Java jobs, the JobMaster schedules tasks to TaskManagers. The tasks that include Python UDF in a TaskManager involve the execution of Java and Python operators. In the Python UDF operator, various gRPC services are used to provide different communications between the Java VM and the Python VM, such as DataService for data transmissions, StateService for state requirements, and Logging and Metrics Services. These services are built on Beam\u0026rsquo;s Fn API. While currently only Process mode is supported for Python workers, support for Docker mode and External service mode is also considered for future Flink releases.

This release marks a big milestone: Stateful Functions 2.0 is not only an API update, but the first version of an event-driven database that is built on Apache Flink.
 Stateful Functions 2.0 makes it possible to combine StateFun’s powerful approach to state and composition with the elasticity, rapid scaling/scale-to-zero and rolling upgrade capabilities of FaaS implementations like AWS Lambda and modern resource orchestration frameworks like Kubernetes.
 With these features, Stateful Functions 2.0 addresses two of the most cited shortcomings of many FaaS setups today: consistent state and efficient messaging between functions.
 An Event-driven Database # When Stateful Functions joined Apache Flink at the beginning of this year, the project had started as a library on top of Flink to build general-purpose event-driven applications. Users would implement functions that receive and send messages, and maintain state in persistent variables. Flink provided the runtime with efficient exactly-once state and messaging. Stateful Functions 1.0 was a FaaS-inspired mix between stream processing and actor programming — on steroids.
@@ -3057,7 +3112,7 @@
 Effectively, Flink takes the role of the database, but tailored towards event-driven functions and services. It integrates state storage with the messaging between (and the invocations of) functions and services. Because of this, Stateful Functions 2.0 can be thought of as an “Event-driven Database” on Apache Flink.
 “Event-driven Database” vs. “Request/Response Database” # In the case of a traditional database or key/value store (let’s call them request/response databases), the application issues queries to the database (e.g. SQL via JDBC, GET/PUT via HTTP). In contrast, an event-driven database like StateFun inverts that relationship between database and application: the database invokes the functions/services based on arriving messages. This fits very naturally with FaaS and many event-driven application architectures.
 Fig.5: Stateful Functions 2.0 inverts the relationship between database and application. In the case of applications built on request/response databases, the database is responsible only for the state. Communication between different functions/services is a separate concern handled within the application layer. In contrast to that, an event-driven database takes care of both state storage and message transport, in a tightly integrated manner.
-Similar to Actor Programming, Stateful Functions uses the idea of addressable entities - here, the entity is a function type with an invocation scoped to an ID. These addressable entities own the state and are the targets of messages. Different to actor systems is that the application logic is external and the addressable entities are not physical objects in memory (i.e. actors), but rows in Flink\u0026rsquo;s managed state, together with the entities’ mailboxes.

 Consider the example below, with two entities of an application — for example two microservices (Service 1, Service 2). Service 1 is invoked, updates the state in the database, and sends a request to Service 2. Assume that this request fails. There is, in general, no way for Service 1 to know whether Service 2 processed the request and updated its state or not (c.f. Two Generals Problem). To work around that, many techniques exist — making requests idempotent and retrying, commit/rollback protocols, or external transaction coordinators, for example. Solving this in the application layer is complex enough, and including the database into these approaches only adds more complexity.
 In the scenario where the event-driven database takes care of state and messaging, we have a much easier problem to solve. Assume one shard of the database receives the initial message, updates its state, invokes Service 1, and routes the message produced by the function to another shard, to be delivered to Service 2. Now assume message transport errored — it may have failed or not, we cannot know for certain. Because the database is in charge of state and messaging, it can offer a generic solution to make sure that either both go through or none does, for example through transactions or consistent snapshots. The application functions are stateless and their invocations without side effects, which means they can be re-invoked again without implications on consistency.

 The Year (so far) in Flink # Flink 1.10 Release # To kick off the new year, the Flink community released Flink 1.10 with the record contribution of over 200 engineers. This release introduced significant improvements to the overall performance and stability of Flink jobs, a preview of native Kubernetes integration and advances in Python support (PyFlink). Flink 1.10 also marked the completion of the Blink integration, hardening streaming SQL and bringing mature batch processing to Flink with production-ready Hive integration and TPC-DS coverage.
 The community is now discussing the release of Flink 1.10.1, covering some outstanding bugs from Flink 1.10.
 Stateful Functions Contribution and 2.0 Release # Last January, the first version of Stateful Functions (statefun.io) code was pushed to the Flink repository. Stateful Functions started out as an API to build general purpose event-driven applications on Flink, taking advantage of its advanced state management mechanism to cut the “middleman” that usually handles state coordination in such applications (e.g. a database).

 Introduction # What are some of the latest requirements for your data warehouse and data infrastructure in 2020?
 We’ve came up with some for you.
 Firstly, today’s business is shifting to a more real-time fashion, and thus demands abilities to process online streaming data with low latency for near-real-time or even real-time analytics. People become less and less tolerant of delays between when data is generated and when it arrives at their hands, ready to use. Hours or even days of delay is not acceptable anymore. Users are expecting minutes, or even seconds, of end-to-end latency for data in their warehouse, to get quicker-than-ever insights.
 Secondly, the infrastructure should be able to handle both offline batch data for offline analytics and exploration, and online streaming data for more timely analytics. Both are indispensable as they both have very valid use cases. Apart from the real time processing mentioned above, batch processing would still exist as it’s good for ad hoc queries and explorations, and full-size calculations. Your modern infrastructure should not force users to choose between one or the other, it should offer users both options for a world-class data infrastructure.
-Thirdly, the data players, including data engineers, data scientists, analysts, and operations, urge a more unified infrastructure than ever before for easier ramp-up and higher working efficiency. The big data landscape has been fragmented for years - companies may have one set of infrastructure for real time processing, one set for batch, one set for OLAP, etc. That, oftentimes, comes as a result of the legacy of lambda architecture, which was popular in the era when stream processors were not as mature as today and users had to periodically run batch processing as a way to correct streaming pipelines. Well, it\u0026rsquo;s a different era now! As stream processing becomes mainstream and dominant, end users no longer want to learn shattered pieces of skills and maintain many moving parts with all kinds of tools and pipelines. Instead, what they really need is a unified analytics platform that can be mastered easily, and simplify any operational complexity.

 If any of these resonate with you, you just found the right post to read: we have never been this close to the vision by strengthening Flink’s integration with Hive to a production grade.
 Flink and Its Integration With Hive Comes into the Scene # Apache Flink has been a proven scalable system to handle extremely high workload of streaming data in super low latency in many giant tech companies.
 Despite its huge success in the real time processing domain, at its deep root, Flink has been faithfully following its inborn philosophy of being a unified data processing engine for both batch and streaming, and taking a streaming-first approach in its architecture to do batch processing. By making batch a special case for streaming, Flink really leverages its cutting edge streaming capabilities and applies them to batch scenarios to gain the best offline performance. Flink’s batch performance has been quite outstanding in the early days and has become even more impressive, as the community started merging Blink, Alibaba’s fork of Flink, back to Flink in 1.9 and finished it in 1.10.

 Thus we started integrating Flink and Hive as a beta version in Flink 1.9. Over the past few months, we have been listening to users’ requests and feedback, extensively enhancing our product, and running rigorous benchmarks (which will be published soon separately). I’m glad to announce that the integration between Flink and Hive is at production grade in Flink 1.10 and we can’t wait to walk you through the details.
 Unified Metadata Management # Hive Metastore has evolved into the de facto metadata hub over the years in the Hadoop, or even the cloud, ecosystem. Many companies have a single Hive Metastore service instance in production to manage all of their schemas, either Hive or non-Hive metadata, as the single source of truth.
 In 1.9 we introduced Flink’s HiveCatalog, connecting Flink to users’ rich metadata pool. The meaning of HiveCatalog is two-fold here. First, it allows Apache Flink users to utilize Hive Metastore to store and manage Flink’s metadata, including tables, UDFs, and statistics of data. Second, it enables Flink to access Hive’s existing metadata, so that Flink itself can read and write Hive tables.
-In Flink 1.10, users can store Flink\u0026rsquo;s own tables, views, UDFs, statistics in Hive Metastore on all of the compatible Hive versions mentioned above. Here’s an end-to-end example of how to store a Flink’s Kafka source table in Hive Metastore and later query the table in Flink SQL.

 Stream Processing # The Hive integration feature in Flink 1.10 empowers users to re-imagine what they can accomplish with their Hive data and unlock stream processing use cases:
 join real-time streaming data in Flink with offline Hive data for more complex data processing backfill Hive data with Flink directly in a unified fashion leverage Flink to move real-time data into Hive more quickly, greatly shortening the end-to-end latency between when data is generated and when it arrives at your data warehouse for analytics, from hours — or even days — to minutes Compatible with More Hive Versions # In Flink 1.10, we brought full coverage to most Hive versions including 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 3.1. Take a look here.
 Reuse Hive User Defined Functions (UDFs) # Users can reuse all kinds of Hive UDFs in Flink since Flink 1.9.
 This is a great win for Flink users with past history with the Hive ecosystem, as they may have developed custom business logic in their Hive UDFs. Being able to run these functions without any rewrite saves users a lot of time and brings them a much smoother experience when they migrate to Flink.
-To take it a step further, Flink 1.10 introduces compatibility of Hive built-in functions via HiveModule. Over the years, the Hive community has developed a few hundreds of built-in functions that are super handy for users. For those built-in functions that don\u0026rsquo;t exist in Flink yet, users are now able to leverage the existing Hive built-in functions that they are familiar with and complete their jobs seamlessly.

Lots of optimization techniques are developed around reading, including partition pruning and projection pushdown to transport less data from file storage, limit pushdown for faster experiment and exploration, and vectorized reader for ORC files.
 On the writing side, Flink 1.10 introduces “INSERT INTO” and “INSERT OVERWRITE” to its syntax, and can write to not only Hive’s regular tables, but also partitioned tables with either static or dynamic partitions.

We also described how to make data partitioning in Apache Flink customizable based on modifiable rules instead of using a hardcoded KeysExtractor implementation.
 We intentionally omitted details of how the applied rules are initialized and what possibilities exist for updating them at runtime. In this post, we will address exactly these details. You will learn how the approach to data partitioning described in Part 1 can be applied in combination with a dynamic configuration. These two patterns, when used together, can eliminate the need to recompile the code and redeploy your Flink job for a wide range of modifications of the business logic.
-Rules Broadcasting # Let\u0026rsquo;s first have a look at the previously-defined data-processing pipeline:
-DataStream\u0026lt;Alert\u0026gt; alerts = transactions .process(new DynamicKeyFunction()) .keyBy((keyed) -\u0026gt; keyed.getKey()); .process(new DynamicAlertFunction()) DynamicKeyFunction provides dynamic data partitioning while DynamicAlertFunction is responsible for executing the main logic of processing transactions and sending alert messages according to defined rules.
-Vol.1 of this series simplified the use case and assumed that the applied set of rules is pre-initialized and accessible via the List\u0026lt;Rules\u0026gt; within DynamicKeyFunction.
-public class DynamicKeyFunction extends ProcessFunction\u0026lt;Transaction, Keyed\u0026lt;Transaction, String, Integer\u0026gt;\u0026gt; { /* Simplified */ List\u0026lt;Rule\u0026gt; rules = /* Rules that are initialized somehow.*/; ... } Adding rules to this list is obviously possible directly inside the code of the Flink Job at the stage of its initialization (Create a List object; use it\u0026rsquo;s add method). A major drawback of doing so is that it will require recompilation of the job with each rule modification. In a real Fraud Detection system, rules are expected to change on a frequent basis, making this approach unacceptable from the point of view of business and operational requirements. A different approach is needed.
-Next, let\u0026rsquo;s take a look at a sample rule definition that we introduced in the previous post of the series:

A different approach is needed.
+Next, let&rsquo;s take a look at a sample rule definition that we introduced in the previous post of the series:
 Figure 1: Rule definition The previous post covered use of groupingKeyNames by DynamicKeyFunction to extract message keys. Parameters from the second part of this rule are used by DynamicAlertFunction: they define the actual logic of the performed operations and their parameters (such as the alert-triggering limit). This means that the same rule must be present in both DynamicKeyFunction and DynamicAlertFunction. To achieve this result, we will use the broadcast data distribution mechanism of Apache Flink.
 Figure 2 presents the final job graph of the system that we are building:
 Figure 2: Job Graph of the Fraud Detection Flink Job The main blocks of the Transactions processing pipeline are:
 Transaction Source that consumes transaction messages from Kafka partitions in parallel. Dynamic Key Function that performs data enrichment with a dynamic key. The subsequent keyBy hashes this dynamic key and partitions the data accordingly among all parallel instances of the following operator.
 Dynamic Alert Function that accumulates a data window and creates Alerts based on it.
-Data Exchange inside Apache Flink # The job graph above also indicates various data exchange patterns between the operators. In order to understand how the broadcast pattern works, let\u0026rsquo;s take a short detour and discuss what methods of message propagation exist in Apache Flink\u0026rsquo;s distributed runtime.
-The FORWARD connection after the Transaction Source means that all data consumed by one of the parallel instances of the Transaction Source operator is transferred to exactly one instance of the subsequent DynamicKeyFunction operator. It also indicates the same level of parallelism of the two connected operators (12 in the above case). This communication pattern is illustrated in Figure 3. Orange circles represent transactions, and dotted rectangles depict parallel instances of the conjoined operators. Figure 3: FORWARD message passing across operator instances The HASH connection between DynamicKeyFunction and DynamicAlertFunction means that for each message a hash code is calculated and messages are evenly distributed among available parallel instances of the next operator. Such a connection needs to be explicitly \u0026ldquo;requested\u0026rdquo; from Flink by using keyBy. Figure 4: HASHED message passing across operator instances (via \`keyBy\`) A REBALANCE distribution is either caused by an explicit call to rebalance() or by a change of parallelism (12 -\u0026gt; 1 in the case of the job graph from Figure 2). Calling rebalance() causes data to be repartitioned in a round-robin fashion and can help to mitigate data skew in certain scenarios. Figure 5: REBALANCE message passing across operator instances The Fraud Detection job graph in Figure 2 contains an additional data source: Rules Source. It also consumes from Kafka. Rules are \u0026ldquo;mixed into\u0026rdquo; the main processing data flow through the BROADCAST channel. Unlike other methods of transmitting data between operators, such as forward, hash or rebalance that make each message available for processing in only one of the parallel instances of the receiving operator, broadcast makes each message available at the input of all of the parallel instances of the operator to which the broadcast stream is connected. This makes broadcast applicable to a wide range of tasks that need to affect the processing of all messages, regardless of their key or source partition.
-Figure 6: BROADCAST message passing across operator instances Note There are actually a few more specialized data partitioning schemes in Flink which we did not mention here. If you want to find out more, please refer to Flink's documentation on __[stream partitioning](//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/stream/operators/#physical-partitioning)__. Broadcast State Pattern # In order to make use of the Rules Source, we need to \u0026ldquo;connect\u0026rdquo; it to the main data stream:
-// Streams setup DataStream\u0026lt;Transaction\u0026gt; transactions = [...] DataStream\u0026lt;Rule\u0026gt; rulesUpdateStream = [...] BroadcastStream\u0026lt;Rule\u0026gt; rulesStream = rulesUpdateStream.broadcast(RULES_STATE_DESCRIPTOR); // Processing pipeline setup DataStream\u0026lt;Alert\u0026gt; alerts = transactions .connect(rulesStream) .process(new DynamicKeyFunction()) .keyBy((keyed) -\u0026gt; keyed.getKey()) .connect(rulesStream) .process(new DynamicAlertFunction()) As you can see, the broadcast stream can be created from any regular stream by calling the broadcast method and specifying a state descriptor. Flink assumes that broadcasted data needs to be stored and retrieved while processing events of the main data flow and, therefore, always automatically creates a corresponding broadcast state from this state descriptor. This is different from any other Apache Flink state type in which you need to initialize it in the open() method of the processing function. Also note that broadcast state always has a key-value format (MapState).
-public static final MapStateDescriptor\u0026lt;Integer, Rule\u0026gt; RULES_STATE_DESCRIPTOR = new MapStateDescriptor\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;rules\u0026#34;, Integer.class, Rule.class); Connecting to rulesStream causes some changes in the signature of the processing functions. The previous article presented it in a slightly simplified way as a ProcessFunction. However, DynamicKeyFunction is actually a BroadcastProcessFunction.
-public abstract class BroadcastProcessFunction\u0026lt;IN1, IN2, OUT\u0026gt; { public abstract void processElement(IN1 value, ReadOnlyContext ctx, Collector\u0026lt;OUT\u0026gt; out) throws Exception; public abstract void processBroadcastElement(IN2 value, Context ctx, Collector\u0026lt;OUT\u0026gt; out) throws Exception; } The difference is the addition of the processBroadcastElement method through which messages of the rules stream will arrive. The following new version of DynamicKeyFunction allows modifying the list of data-distribution keys at runtime through this stream:
-public class DynamicKeyFunction extends BroadcastProcessFunction\u0026lt;Transaction, Rule, Keyed\u0026lt;Transaction, String, Integer\u0026gt;\u0026gt; { @Override public void processBroadcastElement(Rule rule, Context ctx, Collector\u0026lt;Keyed\u0026lt;Transaction, String, Integer\u0026gt;\u0026gt; out) { BroadcastState\u0026lt;Integer, Rule\u0026gt; broadcastState = ctx.getBroadcastState(RULES_STATE_DESCRIPTOR); broadcastState.put(rule.getRuleId(), rule); } @Override public void processElement(Transaction event, ReadOnlyContext ctx, Collector\u0026lt;Keyed\u0026lt;Transaction, String, Integer\u0026gt;\u0026gt; out){ ReadOnlyBroadcastState\u0026lt;Integer, Rule\u0026gt; rulesState = ctx.getBroadcastState(RULES_STATE_DESCRIPTOR); for (Map.Entry\u0026lt;Integer, Rule\u0026gt; entry : rulesState.immutableEntries()) { final Rule rule = entry.getValue(); out.collect( new Keyed\u0026lt;\u0026gt;( event, KeysExtractor.getKey(rule.getGroupingKeyNames(), event), rule.getRuleId())); } } } In the above code, processElement() receives Transactions, and processBroadcastElement() receives Rule updates. When a new rule is created, it is distributed as depicted in Figure 6 and saved in all parallel instances of the operator using processBroadcastState. We use a Rule\u0026rsquo;s ID as the key to store and reference individual rules. Instead of iterating over a hardcoded List\u0026lt;Rules\u0026gt;, we iterate over entries in the dynamically-updated broadcast state.
-DynamicAlertFunction follows the same logic with respect to storing the rules in the broadcast MapState. As described in Part 1, each message in the processElement input is intended to be processed by one specific rule and comes \u0026ldquo;pre-marked\u0026rdquo; with a corresponding ID by DynamicKeyFunction. All we need to do is retrieve the definition of the corresponding rule from BroadcastState by using the provided ID and process it according to the logic required by that rule. At this stage, we will also add messages to the internal function state in order to perform calculations on the required time window of data. We will consider how this is done in the final blog of the series about Fraud Detection.

+Figure 6: BROADCAST message passing across operator instances Note There are actually a few more specialized data partitioning schemes in Flink which we did not mention here. If you want to find out more, please refer to Flink's documentation on __[stream partitioning](//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/stream/operators/#physical-partitioning)__. Broadcast State Pattern # In order to make use of the Rules Source, we need to &ldquo;connect&rdquo; it to the main data stream:
+// Streams setup DataStream&lt;Transaction&gt; transactions = [...] DataStream&lt;Rule&gt; rulesUpdateStream = [...] BroadcastStream&lt;Rule&gt; rulesStream = rulesUpdateStream.broadcast(RULES_STATE_DESCRIPTOR); // Processing pipeline setup DataStream&lt;Alert&gt; alerts = transactions .connect(rulesStream) .process(new DynamicKeyFunction()) .keyBy((keyed) -&gt; keyed.getKey()) .connect(rulesStream) .process(new DynamicAlertFunction()) As you can see, the broadcast stream can be created from any regular stream by calling the broadcast method and specifying a state descriptor. Flink assumes that broadcasted data needs to be stored and retrieved while processing events of the main data flow and, therefore, always automatically creates a corresponding broadcast state from this state descriptor. This is different from any other Apache Flink state type in which you need to initialize it in the open() method of the processing function. Also note that broadcast state always has a key-value format (MapState).
+public static final MapStateDescriptor&lt;Integer, Rule&gt; RULES_STATE_DESCRIPTOR = new MapStateDescriptor&lt;&gt;(&#34;rules&#34;, Integer.class, Rule.class); Connecting to rulesStream causes some changes in the signature of the processing functions. The previous article presented it in a slightly simplified way as a ProcessFunction. However, DynamicKeyFunction is actually a BroadcastProcessFunction.
+public abstract class BroadcastProcessFunction&lt;IN1, IN2, OUT&gt; { public abstract void processElement(IN1 value, ReadOnlyContext ctx, Collector&lt;OUT&gt; out) throws Exception; public abstract void processBroadcastElement(IN2 value, Context ctx, Collector&lt;OUT&gt; out) throws Exception; } The difference is the addition of the processBroadcastElement method through which messages of the rules stream will arrive. The following new version of DynamicKeyFunction allows modifying the list of data-distribution keys at runtime through this stream:
+public class DynamicKeyFunction extends BroadcastProcessFunction&lt;Transaction, Rule, Keyed&lt;Transaction, String, Integer&gt;&gt; { @Override public void processBroadcastElement(Rule rule, Context ctx, Collector&lt;Keyed&lt;Transaction, String, Integer&gt;&gt; out) { BroadcastState&lt;Integer, Rule&gt; broadcastState = ctx.getBroadcastState(RULES_STATE_DESCRIPTOR); broadcastState.put(rule.getRuleId(), rule); } @Override public void processElement(Transaction event, ReadOnlyContext ctx, Collector&lt;Keyed&lt;Transaction, String, Integer&gt;&gt; out){ ReadOnlyBroadcastState&lt;Integer, Rule&gt; rulesState = ctx.getBroadcastState(RULES_STATE_DESCRIPTOR); for (Map.Entry&lt;Integer, Rule&gt; entry : rulesState.immutableEntries()) { final Rule rule = entry.getValue(); out.collect( new Keyed&lt;&gt;( event, KeysExtractor.getKey(rule.getGroupingKeyNames(), event), rule.getRuleId())); } } } In the above code, processElement() receives Transactions, and processBroadcastElement() receives Rule updates. When a new rule is created, it is distributed as depicted in Figure 6 and saved in all parallel instances of the operator using processBroadcastState. We use a Rule&rsquo;s ID as the key to store and reference individual rules. Instead of iterating over a hardcoded List&lt;Rules&gt;, we iterate over entries in the dynamically-updated broadcast state.
+DynamicAlertFunction follows the same logic with respect to storing the rules in the broadcast MapState. As described in Part 1, each message in the processElement input is intended to be processed by one specific rule and comes &ldquo;pre-marked&rdquo; with a corresponding ID by DynamicKeyFunction. All we need to do is retrieve the definition of the corresponding rule from BroadcastState by using the provided ID and process it according to the logic required by that rule. At this stage, we will also add messages to the internal function state in order to perform calculations on the required time window of data. We will consider how this is done in the final blog of the series about Fraud Detection.
 Summary # In this blog post, we continued our investigation of the use case of a Fraud Detection System built with Apache Flink. We looked into different ways in which data can be distributed between parallel operator instances and, most importantly, examined broadcast state. We demonstrated how dynamic partitioning — a pattern described in the first part of the series — can be combined and enhanced by the functionality provided by the broadcast state pattern. The ability to send dynamic updates at runtime is a powerful feature of Apache Flink that is applicable in a variety of other use cases, such as controlling state (cleanup/insert/fix), running A/B experiments or executing updates of ML model coefficients.

 Apache Flink and Apache Beam are open-source frameworks for parallel, distributed data processing at scale. Unlike Flink, Beam does not come with a full-blown execution engine of its own but plugs into other execution engines, such as Apache Flink, Apache Spark, or Google Cloud Dataflow. In this blog post we discuss the reasons to use Flink together with Beam for your batch and stream processing needs. We also take a closer look at how Beam works with Flink to provide an idea of the technical aspects of running Beam pipelines with Flink. We hope you find some useful information on how and why the two frameworks can be utilized in combination. For more information, you can refer to the corresponding documentation on the Beam website or contact the community through the Beam mailing list.
 What is Apache Beam # Apache Beam is an open-source, unified model for defining batch and streaming data-parallel processing pipelines. It is unified in the sense that you use a single API, in contrast to using a separate API for batch and streaming like it is the case in Flink. Beam was originally developed by Google which released it in 2014 as the Cloud Dataflow SDK. In 2016, it was donated to the Apache Software Foundation with the name of Beam. It has been developed by the open-source community ever since. With Apache Beam, developers can write data processing jobs, also known as pipelines, in multiple languages, e.g. Java, Python, Go, SQL. A pipeline is then executed by one of Beam’s Runners. A Runner is responsible for translating Beam pipelines such that they can run on an execution engine. Every supported execution engine has a Runner. The following Runners are available: Apache Flink, Apache Spark, Apache Samza, Hazelcast Jet, Google Cloud Dataflow, and others.
-The execution model, as well as the API of Apache Beam, are similar to Flink\u0026rsquo;s. Both frameworks are inspired by the MapReduce, MillWheel, and Dataflow papers. Like Flink, Beam is designed for parallel, distributed data processing. Both have similar transformations, support for windowing, event/processing time, watermarks, timers, triggers, and much more. However, Beam not being a full runtime focuses on providing the framework for building portable, multi-language batch and stream processing pipelines such that they can be run across several execution engines. The idea is that you write your pipeline once and feed it with either batch or streaming data. When you run it, you just pick one of the supported backends to execute. A large integration test suite in Beam called \u0026ldquo;ValidatesRunner\u0026rdquo; ensures that the results will be the same, regardless of which backend you choose for the execution.

A large integration test suite in Beam called &ldquo;ValidatesRunner&rdquo; ensures that the results will be the same, regardless of which backend you choose for the execution.
 One of the most exciting developments in the Beam technology is the framework’s support for multiple programming languages including Java, Python, Go, Scala and SQL. Essentially, developers can write their applications in a programming language of their choice. Beam, with the help of the Runners, translates the program to one of the execution engines, as shown in the diagram below.
 Reasons to use Beam with Flink # Why would you want to use Beam with Flink instead of directly using Flink? Ultimately, Beam and Flink complement each other and provide additional value to the user. The main reasons for using Beam with Flink are the following:
-Beam provides a unified API for both batch and streaming scenarios. Beam comes with native support for different programming languages, like Python or Go with all their libraries like Numpy, Pandas, Tensorflow, or TFX. You get the power of Apache Flink like its exactly-once semantics, strong memory management and robustness. Beam programs run on your existing Flink infrastructure or infrastructure for other supported Runners, like Spark or Google Cloud Dataflow. You get additional features like side inputs and cross-language pipelines that are not supported natively in Flink but only supported when using Beam with Flink. The Flink Runner in Beam # The Flink Runner in Beam translates Beam pipelines into Flink jobs. The translation can be parameterized using Beam\u0026rsquo;s pipeline options which are parameters for settings like configuring the job name, parallelism, checkpointing, or metrics reporting.
-If you are familiar with a DataSet or a DataStream, you will have no problems understanding what a PCollection is. PCollection stands for parallel collection in Beam and is exactly what DataSet/DataStream would be in Flink. Due to Beam\u0026rsquo;s unified API we only have one type of results of transformation: PCollection.

 Beam pipelines are composed of transforms. Transforms are like operators in Flink and come in two flavors: primitive and composite transforms. The beauty of all this is that Beam only comes with a small set of primitive transforms which are:
 Source (for loading data) ParDo (think of a flat map operator on steroids) GroupByKey (think of keyBy() in Flink) AssignWindows (windows can be assigned at any point in time in Beam) Flatten (like a union() operation in Flink) Composite transforms are built by combining the above primitive transforms. For example, Combine = GroupByKey + ParDo.
 Flink Runner Internals # Although using the Flink Runner in Beam has no prerequisite to understanding its internals, we provide more details of how the Flink runner works in Beam to share knowledge of how the two frameworks can integrate and work together to provide state-of-the-art streaming data pipelines.
-The Flink Runner has two translation paths. Depending on whether we execute in batch or streaming mode, the Runner either translates into Flink\u0026rsquo;s DataSet or into Flink\u0026rsquo;s DataStream API. Since multi-language support has been added to Beam, another two translation paths have been added. To summarize the four modes:
-The Classic Flink Runner for batch jobs: Executes batch Java pipelines The Classic Flink Runner for streaming jobs: Executes streaming Java pipelines The Portable Flink Runner for batch jobs: Executes Java as well as Python, Go and other supported SDK pipelines for batch scenarios The Portable Flink Runner for streaming jobs: Executes Java as well as Python, Go and other supported SDK pipelines for streaming scenarios The “Classic” Flink Runner in Beam # The classic Flink Runner was the initial version of the Runner, hence the \u0026ldquo;classic\u0026rdquo; name. Beam pipelines are represented as a graph in Java which is composed of the aforementioned composite and primitive transforms. Beam provides translators which traverse the graph in topological order. Topological order means that we start from all the sources first as we iterate through the graph. Presented with a transform from the graph, the Flink Runner generates the API calls as you would normally when writing a Flink job.

 While Beam and Flink share very similar concepts, there are enough differences between the two frameworks that make Beam pipelines impossible to be translated 1:1 into a Flink program. In the following sections, we will present the key differences:
-Serializers vs Coders # When data is transferred over the wire in Flink, it has to be turned into bytes. This is done with the help of serializers. Flink has a type system to instantiate the correct coder for a given type, e.g. StringTypeSerializer for a String. Apache Beam also has its own type system which is similar to Flink\u0026rsquo;s but uses slightly different interfaces. Serializers are called Coders in Beam. In order to make a Beam Coder run in Flink, we have to make the two serializer types compatible. This is done by creating a special Flink type information that looks like the one in Flink but calls the appropriate Beam coder. That way, we can use Beam\u0026rsquo;s coders although we are executing the Beam job with Flink. Flink operators expect a TypeInformation, e.g. StringTypeInformation, for which we use a CoderTypeInformation in Beam. The type information returns the serializer for which we return a CoderTypeSerializer, which calls the underlying Beam Coder.

The type information returns the serializer for which we return a CoderTypeSerializer, which calls the underlying Beam Coder.
 Read # The Read transform provides a way to read data into your pipeline in Beam. The Read transform is supported by two wrappers in Beam, the SourceInputFormat for batch processing and the UnboundedSourceWrapper for stream processing.
 ParDo # ParDo is the swiss army knife of Beam and can be compared to a RichFlatMapFunction in Flink with additional features such as SideInputs, SideOutputs, State and Timers. ParDo is essentially translated by the Flink runner using the FlinkDoFnFunction for batch processing or the FlinkStatefulDoFnFunction, while for streaming scenarios the translation is executed with the DoFnOperator that takes care of checkpointing and buffering of data during checkpoints, watermark emissions and maintenance of state and timers. This is all executed by Beam’s interface, called the DoFnRunner, that encapsulates Beam-specific execution logic, like retrieving state, executing state and timers, or reporting metrics.
 Side Inputs # In addition to the main input, ParDo transforms can have a number of side inputs. A side input can be a static set of data that you want to have available at all parallel instances. However, it is more flexible than that. You can have keyed and even windowed side input which updates based on the window size. This is a very powerful concept which does not exist in Flink but is added on top of Flink using Beam.
 AssignWindows # In Flink, windows are assigned by the WindowOperator when you use the window() in the API. In Beam, windows can be assigned at any point in time. Any element is implicitly part of a window. If no window is assigned explicitly, the element is part of the GlobalWindow. Window information is stored for each element in a wrapper called WindowedValue. The window information is only used once we issue a GroupByKey.
-GroupByKey # Most of the time it is useful to partition the data by a key. In Flink, this is done via the keyBy() API call. In Beam the GroupByKey transform can only be applied if the input is of the form KV\u0026lt;Key, Value\u0026gt;. Unlike Flink where the key can even be nested inside the data, Beam enforces the key to always be explicit. The GroupByKey transform then groups the data by key and by window which is similar to what keyBy(..).window(..) would give us in Flink. Beam has its own set of libraries to do that because Beam has its own set of window functions and triggers. Essentially, GroupByKey is very similar to what the WindowOperator does in Flink.
-Flatten # The Flatten operator takes multiple DataSet/DataStreams, called P[arallel]Collections in Beam, and combines them into one collection. This is equivalent to Flink\u0026rsquo;s union() operation.

 The “Portable” Flink Runner in Beam # The portable Flink Runner in Beam is the evolution of the classic Runner. Classic Runners are tied to the JVM ecosystem, but the Beam community wanted to move past this and also execute Python, Go and other languages. This adds another dimension to Beam in terms of portability because, like previously mentioned, Beam already had portability across execution engines. It was necessary to change the translation logic of the Runner to be able to support language portability.
 There are two important building blocks for portable Runners:
-A common pipeline format across all the languages: The Runner API A common interface during execution for the communication between the Runner and the code written in any language: The Fn API The Runner API provides a universal representation of the pipeline as Protobuf which contains the transforms, types, and user code. Protobuf was chosen as the format because every language has libraries available for it. Similarly, for the execution part, Beam introduced the Fn API interface to handle the communication between the Runner/execution engine and the user code that may be written in a different language and executes in a different process. Fn API is pronounced \u0026ldquo;fun API\u0026rdquo;, you may guess why.
-How Are Beam Programs Translated In Language Portability? # Users write their Beam pipelines in one language, but they may get executed in an environment based on a completely different language. How does that work? To explain that, let\u0026rsquo;s follow the lifecycle of a pipeline. Let\u0026rsquo;s suppose we use the Python SDK to write the pipeline. Before submitting the pipeline via the Job API to Beam\u0026rsquo;s JobServer, Beam would convert it to the Runner API, the language-agnostic format we described before. The JobServer is also a Beam component that handles the staging of the required dependencies during execution. The JobServer will then kick-off the translation which is similar to the classic Runner. However, an important change is the so-called ExecutableStage transform. It is essentially a ParDo transform that we already know but designed for holding language-dependent code. Beam tries to combine as many of these transforms into one \u0026ldquo;executable stage\u0026rdquo;. The result again is a Flink program which is then sent to the Flink cluster and executed there. The major difference compared to the classic Runner is that during execution we will start environments to execute the aforementioned ExecutableStages. The following environments are available:
-Docker-based (the default) Process-based (a simple process is started) Externally-provided (K8s or other schedulers) Embedded (intended for testing and only works with Java) Environments hold the SDK Harness which is the code that handles the execution and the communication with the Runner over the Fn API. For example, when Flink executes Python code, it sends the data to the Python environment containing the Python SDK Harness. Sending data to an external process involves a minor overhead which we have measured to be 5-10% slower than the classic Java pipelines. However, Beam uses a fusion of transforms to execute as many transforms as possible in the same environment which share the same input or output. That\u0026rsquo;s why in real-world scenarios the overhead could be much lower.

 Environments can be present for many languages. This opens up an entirely new type of pipelines: cross-language pipelines. In cross-language pipelines we can combine transforms of two or more languages, e.g. a machine learning pipeline with the feature generation written in Java and the learning written in Python. All this can be run on top of Flink.
-Conclusion # Using Apache Beam with Apache Flink combines (a.) the power of Flink with (b.) the flexibility of Beam. All it takes to run Beam is a Flink cluster, which you may already have. Apache Beam\u0026rsquo;s fully-fledged Python API is probably the most compelling argument for using Beam with Flink, but the unified API which allows to \u0026ldquo;write-once\u0026rdquo; and \u0026ldquo;execute-anywhere\u0026rdquo; is also very appealing to Beam users. On top of this, features like side inputs and a rich connector ecosystem are also reasons why people like Beam.

 With the introduction of schemas, a new format for handling type information, Beam is heading in a similar direction as Flink with its type system which is essential for the Table API or SQL. Speaking of, the next Flink release will include a Python version of the Table API which is based on the language portability of Beam. Looking ahead, the Beam community plans to extend the support for interactive programs like notebooks. TFX, which is built with Beam, is a very powerful way to solve many problems around training and validating machine learning models.
-For many years, Beam and Flink have inspired and learned from each other. With the Python support being based on Beam in Flink, they only seem to come closer to each other. That\u0026rsquo;s all the better for the community, and also users have more options and functionality to choose from.

 A lot of work focused on improving runtime performance and progressively extending its coverage of the SQL standard. Flink now supports the full TPC-DS query set for batch queries, reflecting the readiness of its SQL engine to address the needs of modern data warehouse-like workloads. Its streaming SQL supports an almost equal set of features - those that are well defined on a streaming runtime - including complex joins and MATCH_RECOGNIZE.
 As important as this work is, the community also strives to make these features generally accessible to the broadest audience possible. That is why the Flink community is excited in 1.10 to offer production-ready DDL syntax (e.g., CREATE TABLE, DROP TABLE) and a refactored catalog interface.
-Accessing Your Data Where It Lives # Flink does not store data at rest; it is a compute engine and requires other systems to consume input from and write its output. Those that have used Flink\u0026rsquo;s DataStream API in the past will be familiar with connectors that allow for interacting with external systems. Flink has a vast connector ecosystem that includes all major message queues, filesystems, and databases.

Flink has a vast connector ecosystem that includes all major message queues, filesystems, and databases.
 If your favorite system does not have a connector maintained in the central Apache Flink repository, check out the flink packages website, which has a growing number of community-maintained components. While these connectors are battle-tested and production-ready, they are written in Java and configured in code, which means they are not amenable to pure SQL or Table applications. For a holistic SQL experience, not only queries need to be written in SQL, but also table definitions.
-CREATE TABLE Statements # While Flink SQL has long provided table abstractions atop some of Flink\u0026rsquo;s most popular connectors, configurations were not always so straightforward. Beginning in 1.10, Flink supports defining tables through CREATE TABLE statements. With this feature, users can now create logical tables, backed by various external systems, in pure SQL.
-By defining tables in SQL, developers can write queries against logical schemas that are abstracted away from the underlying physical data store. Coupled with Flink SQL\u0026rsquo;s unified approach to batch and stream processing, Flink provides a straight line from discovery to production.
-Users can define tables over static data sets, anything from a local CSV file to a full-fledged data lake or even Hive. Leveraging Flink\u0026rsquo;s efficient batch processing capabilities, they can perform ad-hoc queries searching for exciting insights. Once something interesting is identified, businesses can gain real-time and continuous insights by merely altering the table so that it is powered by a message queue such as Kafka. Because Flink guarantees SQL queries have unified semantics over batch and streaming, users can be confident that redeploying this query as a continuous streaming application over a message queue will output identical results.

+CREATE TABLE Statements # While Flink SQL has long provided table abstractions atop some of Flink&rsquo;s most popular connectors, configurations were not always so straightforward. Beginning in 1.10, Flink supports defining tables through CREATE TABLE statements. With this feature, users can now create logical tables, backed by various external systems, in pure SQL.
+By defining tables in SQL, developers can write queries against logical schemas that are abstracted away from the underlying physical data store. Coupled with Flink SQL&rsquo;s unified approach to batch and stream processing, Flink provides a straight line from discovery to production.
+Users can define tables over static data sets, anything from a local CSV file to a full-fledged data lake or even Hive. Leveraging Flink&rsquo;s efficient batch processing capabilities, they can perform ad-hoc queries searching for exciting insights.

 To solve this problem, Flink 1.10 also ships with a revamped catalog system for managing metadata about tables and user definined functions. With catalogs, users can create tables once and reuse them across Jobs and Sessions. Now, the team managing a data set can create a table and immediately make it accessible to other groups within their organization.
-The most notable catalog that Flink integrates with today is Hive Metastore. The Hive catalog allows Flink to fully interoperate with Hive and serve as a more efficient query engine. Flink supports reading and writing Hive tables, using Hive UDFs, and even leveraging Hive\u0026rsquo;s metastore catalog to persist Flink specific metadata.

 New Features and Improvements # Improved Memory Management and Configuration # The current TaskExecutor memory configuration in Flink has some shortcomings that make it hard to reason about or optimize resource utilization, such as:

 Managed Memory Extension
 Managed memory was extended to also account for memory usage of RocksDBStateBackend. While batch jobs can use either on-heap or off-heap memory, streaming jobs with RocksDBStateBackend can use off-heap memory only. Therefore, to allow users to switch between Streaming and Batch execution without having to modify cluster configurations, managed memory is now always off-heap.
 Simplified RocksDB Configuration
-Configuring an off-heap state backend like RocksDB used to involve a good deal of manual tuning, like decreasing the JVM heap size or setting Flink to use off-heap memory. This can now be achieved through Flink\u0026rsquo;s out-of-box configuration, and adjusting the memory budget for RocksDBStateBackend is as simple as resizing the managed memory size.

This can now be achieved through Flink&rsquo;s out-of-box configuration, and adjusting the memory budget for RocksDBStateBackend is as simple as resizing the managed memory size.
 Another important improvement was to allow Flink to bind RocksDB native memory usage (FLINK-7289), preventing it from exceeding its total memory budget — this is especially relevant in containerized environments like Kubernetes. For details on how to enable and tune this feature, refer to Tuning RocksDB.
 Note FLIP-49 changes the process of cluster resource configuration, which may require tuning your clusters for upgrades from previous Flink versions. For a comprehensive overview of the changes introduced and tuning guidance, consult this setup.
 Unified Logic for Job Submission # Prior to this release, job submission was part of the duties of the Execution Environments and closely tied to the different deployment targets (e.g. Yarn, Kubernetes, Mesos). This led to a poor separation of concerns and, over time, to a growing number of customized environments that users needed to configure and manage separately.

 Native Kubernetes Integration (Beta) # For users looking to get started with Flink on a containerized environment, deploying and managing a standalone cluster on top of Kubernetes requires some upfront knowledge about containers, operators and environment-specific tools like kubectl.
 In Flink 1.10, we rolled out the first phase of Active Kubernetes Integration (FLINK-9953) with support for session clusters (with per-job planned). In this context, “active” means that Flink’s ResourceManager (K8sResMngr) natively communicates with Kubernetes to allocate new pods on-demand, similar to Flink’s Yarn and Mesos integration. Users can also leverage namespaces to launch Flink clusters for multi-tenant environments with limited aggregate resource consumption. RBAC roles and service accounts with enough permission should be configured beforehand.
 As introduced in Unified Logic For Job Submission, all command-line options in Flink 1.10 are mapped to a unified configuration. For this reason, users can simply refer to the Kubernetes config options and submit a job to an existing Flink session on Kubernetes in the CLI using:

 Table API/SQL: Production-ready Hive Integration # Hive integration was announced as a preview feature in Flink 1.9. This preview allowed users to persist Flink-specific metadata (e.g. Kafka tables) in Hive Metastore using SQL DDL, call UDFs defined in Hive and use Flink for reading and writing Hive tables. Flink 1.10 rounds up this effort with further developments that bring production-ready Hive integration to Flink with full compatibility of most Hive versions.
 Native Partition Support for Batch SQL # So far, only writes to non-partitioned Hive tables were supported. In Flink 1.10, the Flink SQL syntax has been extended with INSERT OVERWRITE and PARTITION (FLIP-63), enabling users to write into both static and dynamic partitions in Hive.

 ORC Vectorization on Read: to boost read performance for ORC files, Flink now uses the native ORC Vectorized Reader by default for Hive versions above 2.0.0 and columns with non-complex data types.
 Pluggable Modules as Flink System Objects (Beta) # Flink 1.10 introduces a generic mechanism for pluggable modules in the Flink table core, with a first focus on system functions (FLIP-68). With modules, users can extend Flink’s system objects — for example use Hive built-in functions that behave like Flink system functions. This release ships with a pre-implemented HiveModule, supporting multiple Hive versions, but users are also given the possibility to write their own pluggable modules.
 Other Improvements to the Table API/SQL # Watermarks and Computed Columns in SQL DDL # Flink 1.10 supports stream-specific syntax extensions to define time attributes and watermark generation in Flink SQL DDL (FLIP-66). This allows time-based operations, like windowing, and the definition of watermark strategies on tables created using DDL statements.

 Additional Extensions to SQL DDL # There is now a clear distinction between temporary/persistent and system/catalog functions (FLIP-57). This not only eliminates ambiguity in function reference, but also allows for deterministic function resolution order (i.e. in case of naming collision, system functions will precede catalog functions, with temporary functions taking precedence over persistent functions for both dimensions).
 Following the groundwork in FLIP-57, we extended the SQL DDL syntax to support the creation of catalog functions, temporary functions and temporary system functions (FLIP-79):

 Stateless Operators Stateful Operators Timed Process Operators Stateless Operators # Writing unit tests for a stateless operator is a breeze. You need to follow the basic norm of writing a test case, i.e., create an instance of the function class and test the appropriate methods. Let’s take an example of a simple Map operator.
-public class MyStatelessMap implements MapFunction\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt; { @Override public String map(String in) throws Exception { String out = \u0026#34;hello \u0026#34; + in; return out; } } The test case for the above operator should look like

For the test case, we have two options:

For the test case, we have two options:
 Mock the Collector object using Mockito Use the ListCollector provided by Flink I prefer the second method as it requires fewer lines of code and is suitable for most of the cases.

You need to check whether the operator state is updated correctly and if it is cleaned up properly along with the output of the operator.
+@Test public void testFlatMap() throws Exception { MyStatelessFlatMap statelessFlatMap = new MyStatelessFlatMap(); List&lt;String&gt; out = new ArrayList&lt;&gt;(); ListCollector&lt;String&gt; listCollector = new ListCollector&lt;&gt;(out); statelessFlatMap.flatMap(&#34;world&#34;, listCollector); Assert.assertEquals(Lists.newArrayList(&#34;hello world&#34;), out); } Stateful Operators # Writing test cases for stateful operators requires more effort.

 Let’s take an example of stateful FlatMap function
-public class StatefulFlatMap extends RichFlatMapFunction\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt; { ValueState\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; previousInput; @Override public void open(Configuration parameters) throws Exception { previousInput = getRuntimeContext().getState( new ValueStateDescriptor\u0026lt;String\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;previousInput\u0026#34;, Types.STRING)); } @Override public void flatMap(String in, Collector\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; collector) throws Exception { String out = \u0026#34;hello \u0026#34; + in; if(previousInput.value() != null){ out = out + \u0026#34; \u0026#34; + previousInput.value(); } previousInput.update(in); collector.collect(out); } } The intricate part of writing tests for the above class is to mock the configuration as well as the runtime context of the application. Flink provides TestHarness classes so that users don’t have to create the mock objects themselves. Using the KeyedOperatorHarness, the test looks like:
-import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.StreamFlatMap; import org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.streamrecord.StreamRecord; import org.apache.flink.streaming.util.KeyedOneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness; import org.apache.flink.streaming.util.OneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness; @Test public void testFlatMap() throws Exception{ StatefulFlatMap statefulFlatMap = new StatefulFlatMap(); // OneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness takes the input and output types as type parameters OneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt; testHarness = // KeyedOneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness takes three arguments: // Flink operator object, key selector and key type new KeyedOneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness\u0026lt;\u0026gt;( new StreamFlatMap\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(statefulFlatMap), x -\u0026gt; \u0026#34;1\u0026#34;, Types.STRING); testHarness.open(); // test first record testHarness.processElement(\u0026#34;world\u0026#34;, 10); ValueState\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; previousInput = statefulFlatMap.getRuntimeContext().getState( new ValueStateDescriptor\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;previousInput\u0026#34;, Types.STRING)); String stateValue = previousInput.value(); Assert.assertEquals( Lists.newArrayList(new StreamRecord\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;hello world\u0026#34;, 10)), testHarness.extractOutputStreamRecords()); Assert.assertEquals(\u0026#34;world\u0026#34;, stateValue); // test second record testHarness.processElement(\u0026#34;parallel\u0026#34;, 20); Assert.assertEquals( Lists.newArrayList( new StreamRecord\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;hello world\u0026#34;, 10), new StreamRecord\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;hello parallel world\u0026#34;, 20)), testHarness.extractOutputStreamRecords()); Assert.assertEquals(\u0026#34;parallel\u0026#34;, previousInput.value()); } The test harness provides many helper methods, three of which are being used here:
+public class StatefulFlatMap extends RichFlatMapFunction&lt;String, String&gt; { ValueState&lt;String&gt; previousInput; @Override public void open(Configuration parameters) throws Exception { previousInput = getRuntimeContext().getState( new ValueStateDescriptor&lt;String&gt;(&#34;previousInput&#34;, Types.STRING)); } @Override public void flatMap(String in, Collector&lt;String&gt; collector) throws Exception { String out = &#34;hello &#34; + in; if(previousInput.value() != null){ out = out + &#34; &#34; + previousInput.value(); } previousInput.update(in); collector.collect(out); } } The intricate part of writing tests for the above class is to mock the configuration as well as the runtime context of the application. Flink provides TestHarness classes so that users don’t have to create the mock objects themselves. Using the KeyedOperatorHarness, the test looks like:
+import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.StreamFlatMap; import org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.streamrecord.StreamRecord; import org.apache.flink.streaming.util.KeyedOneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness; import org.apache.flink.streaming.util.OneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness; @Test public void testFlatMap() throws Exception{ StatefulFlatMap statefulFlatMap = new StatefulFlatMap(); // OneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness takes the input and output types as type parameters OneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness&lt;String, String&gt; testHarness = // KeyedOneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness takes three arguments: // Flink operator object, key selector and key type new KeyedOneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness&lt;&gt;( new StreamFlatMap&lt;&gt;(statefulFlatMap), x -&gt; &#34;1&#34;, Types.STRING); testHarness.open(); // test first record testHarness.processElement(&#34;world&#34;, 10); ValueState&lt;String&gt; previousInput = statefulFlatMap.getRuntimeContext().getState( new ValueStateDescriptor&lt;&gt;(&#34;previousInput&#34;, Types.STRING)); String stateValue = previousInput.value(); Assert.assertEquals( Lists.newArrayList(new StreamRecord&lt;&gt;(&#34;hello world&#34;, 10)), testHarness.extractOutputStreamRecords()); Assert.assertEquals(&#34;world&#34;, stateValue); // test second record testHarness.processElement(&#34;parallel&#34;, 20); Assert.assertEquals( Lists.newArrayList( new StreamRecord&lt;&gt;(&#34;hello world&#34;, 10), new StreamRecord&lt;&gt;(&#34;hello parallel world&#34;, 20)), testHarness.extractOutputStreamRecords()); Assert.assertEquals(&#34;parallel&#34;, previousInput.value()); } The test harness provides many helper methods, three of which are being used here:
 open: calls the open of the FlatMap function with relevant parameters. It also initializes the context. processElement: allows users to pass an input element as well as the timestamp associated with the element. extractOutputStreamRecords: gets the output records along with their timestamps from the Collector. The test harness simplifies the unit testing for the stateful functions to a large extent.
 You might also need to check whether the state value is being set correctly. You can get the state value directly from the operator using a mechanism similar to the one used while creating the state. This is also demonstrated in the previous example.
 Timed Process Operators # Writing tests for process functions, that work with time, is quite similar to writing tests for stateful functions because you can also use test harness. However, you need to take care of another aspect, which is providing timestamps for events and controlling the current time of the application. By setting the current (processing or event) time, you can trigger registered timers, which will call the onTimer method of the function
-public class MyProcessFunction extends KeyedProcessFunction\u0026lt;String, String, String\u0026gt; { @Override public void processElement(String in, Context context, Collector\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; collector) throws Exception { context.timerService().registerProcessingTimeTimer(50); String out = \u0026#34;hello \u0026#34; + in; collector.collect(out); } @Override public void onTimer(long timestamp, OnTimerContext ctx, Collector\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; out) throws Exception { out.collect(String.format(\u0026#34;Timer triggered at timestamp %d\u0026#34;, timestamp)); } } We need to test both the methods in the KeyedProcessFunction, i.e., processElement as well as onTimer. Using a test harness, we can control the current time of the function. Thus, we can trigger the timer at will rather than waiting for a specific time.
+public class MyProcessFunction extends KeyedProcessFunction&lt;String, String, String&gt; { @Override public void processElement(String in, Context context, Collector&lt;String&gt; collector) throws Exception { context.timerService().registerProcessingTimeTimer(50); String out = &#34;hello &#34; + in; collector.collect(out); } @Override public void onTimer(long timestamp, OnTimerContext ctx, Collector&lt;String&gt; out) throws Exception { out.collect(String.format(&#34;Timer triggered at timestamp %d&#34;, timestamp)); } } We need to test both the methods in the KeyedProcessFunction, i.e., processElement as well as onTimer. Using a test harness, we can control the current time of the function. Thus, we can trigger the timer at will rather than waiting for a specific time.
 Let’s take a look at the test case
-@Test public void testProcessElement() throws Exception{ MyProcessFunction myProcessFunction = new MyProcessFunction(); OneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt; testHarness = new KeyedOneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness\u0026lt;\u0026gt;( new KeyedProcessOperator\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(myProcessFunction), x -\u0026gt; \u0026#34;1\u0026#34;, Types.STRING); // Function time is initialized to 0 testHarness.open(); testHarness.processElement(\u0026#34;world\u0026#34;, 10); Assert.assertEquals( Lists.newArrayList(new StreamRecord\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;hello world\u0026#34;, 10)), testHarness.extractOutputStreamRecords()); } @Test public void testOnTimer() throws Exception { MyProcessFunction myProcessFunction = new MyProcessFunction(); OneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt; testHarness = new KeyedOneInputStreamOperatorTestHarness\u0026lt;\u0026gt;( new KeyedProcessOperator\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(myProcessFunction), x -\u0026gt; \u0026#34;1\u0026#34;, Types.STRING); testHarness.open(); testHarness.processElement(\u0026#34;world\u0026#34;, 10); Assert.assertEquals(1, testHarness.numProcessingTimeTimers()); // Function time is set to 50 testHarness.setProcessingTime(50); Assert.assertEquals( Lists.newArrayList( new StreamRecord\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;hello world\u0026#34;, 10), new StreamRecord\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;Timer triggered at timestamp 50\u0026#34;)), testHarness.extractOutputStreamRecords()); } The mechanism to test the multi-input stream operators such as CoProcess functions is similar to the ones described in this article. You should use the TwoInput variant of the harness for these operators, such as TwoInputStreamOperatorTestHarness.

 Summary # In the previous sections we showcased how unit testing in Apache Flink works for stateless, stateful and times-aware-operators. We hope you found the steps easy to follow and execute while developing your Flink applications.

 In order to provide a state-of-the-art experience to Flink developers, the Apache Flink community makes significant efforts to provide the safety and future-proof guarantees organizations need while managing state in Flink. In particular, Flink developers should have sufficient means to access and modify their state, as well as making bootstrapping state with existing data from external systems a piece-of-cake. These efforts span multiple Flink major releases and consist of the following:
 Evolvable state schema in Apache Flink Flexibility in swapping state backends, and The State processor API, an offline tool to read, write and modify state in Flink This post discusses the community’s efforts related to state management in Flink, provides some practical examples of how the different features and APIs can be utilized and covers some future ideas for new and improved ways of managing state in Apache Flink.
 Stream processing: What is State? # To set the tone for the remaining of the post, let us first try to explain the very definition of state in stream processing. When it comes to stateful stream processing, state comprises of the information that an application or stream processing engine will remember across events and streams as more realtime (unbounded) and/or offline (bounded) data flow through the system. Most trivial applications are inherently stateful; even the example of a simple COUNT operation, whereby when counting up to 10, you essentially need to remember that you have already counted up to 9.

 A savepoint is a snapshot of the distributed, global state of an application at a logical point-in-time and is stored in an external distributed file system or blob storage such as HDFS, or S3. Upon upgrading an application or implementing a code change — such as adding a new operator or changing a field — the Flink job can restart by re-loading the application state from the savepoint into the state backend, making it local and available for the computation and continue processing as if nothing had ever happened.
 It is important to remember here that state is one of the most valuable components of a Flink application carrying all the information about both where you are now and where you are going. State is among the most long-lived components in a Flink service since it can be carried across jobs, operators, configurations, new features and bug fixes. Schema Evolution with Apache Flink # In the previous section, we explained how state is stored and persisted in a Flink application. Let’s now take a look at what happens when evolving state in a stateful Flink streaming application becomes necessary.
 Imagine an Apache Flink application that implements a KeyedProcessFunction and contains some ValueState. As illustrated below, within the state descriptor, when registering the type, Flink users specify their TypeInformation that informs Flink about how to serialize the bytes and represents Flink’s internal type system, used to serialize data when shipped across the network or stored in state backends. Flink’s type system has built-in support for all the basic types such as longs, strings, doubles, arrays and basic collection types like lists and maps. Additionally, Flink supports most of the major composite types including Tuples, POJOs, Scala Case Classes and Apache AvroⓇ. Finally, if an application’s type does not match any of the above, developers can either plug in their own serializer or Flink will then fall back to Kryo.
-State registration with built-in serialization in Apache Flink # public class MyFunction extends KeyedProcessFunction\u0026lt;Key, Input, Output\u0026gt; { ​ private transient ValueState\u0026lt;MyState\u0026gt; valueState; ​ public void open(Configuration parameters) { ValueStateDescriptor\u0026lt;MyState\u0026gt; descriptor = new ValueStateDescriptor\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;my-state\u0026#34;, TypeInformation.of(MyState.class)); ​ valueState = getRuntimeContext().getState(descriptor); } } Typically, evolving the schema of an application’s state happens because of some business logic change (adding or dropping fields or changing data types). In all cases, the schema is determined by means of its serializer, and can be thought of in terms of an alter table statement when compared with a database. When a state variable is first introduced it is like running a CREATE_TABLE command, there is a lot of freedom with its execution. However, having data in that table (registered rows) limits developers in what they can do and what rules they follow in order to make updates or changes by an ALTER_TABLE statement. Schema migration in Apache Flink follows a similar principle since the framework is essentially running an ALTER_TABLE statement across savepoints.

 Flink 1.8 comes with built-in support for Apache Avro (specifically the 1.7.7 specification) and evolves state schema according to Avro specifications by adding and removing types or even by swapping between generic and specific Avro record types.
 In Flink 1.9 the community added support for schema evolution for POJOs, including the ability to remove existing fields from POJO types or add new fields. The POJO schema evolution tends to be less flexible — when compared to Avro — since it is not possible to change neither the declared field types nor the class name of a POJO type, including its namespace.
 With the community’s efforts related to schema evolution, Flink developers can now expect out-of-the-box support for both Avro and POJO formats, with backwards compatibility for all Flink state backends. Future work revolves around adding support for Scala Case Classes, Tuples and other formats.

 The RocksDB state backend behaves in the exact opposite manner: it supports eager serialization — because of items being stored on disk and RocksDB only consuming byte arrays. RocksDB provides lazy deserialization simply by downloading files to the local disk, making Flink unaware of what the bytes mean until a serializer is registered.
 An additional challenge stems from the fact that different versions of user code contain different classes on their classpath making the serializer used to write into a savepoint likely potentially unavailable at runtime.
 To overcome the previously mentioned challenges, we introduced what we call TypeSerializerSnapshot. The TypeSerializerSnapshot stores the configuration of the writer serializer in the snapshot. When restoring it will use that configuration to read back the previous state and check its compatibility with the current version. Using such operation allows Flink to:
-Read the configuration used to write out a snapshot Consume the new user code Check if both items above are compatible Consume the bytes from the snapshot and move forward or alert the user otherwise public interface TypeSerializerSnapshot\u0026lt;T\u0026gt; { ​ int getCurrentVersion(); ​ void writeSnapshot(DataOutputView out) throws IOException; ​ void readSnapshot( int readVersion, DataInputView in, ClassLoader userCodeClassLoader) throws IOException; ​ TypeSerializer\u0026lt;T\u0026gt; restoreSerializer(); ​ TypeSerializerSchemaCompatibility\u0026lt;T\u0026gt; resolveSchemaCompatibility( TypeSerializer\u0026lt;T\u0026gt; newSerializer); } Implementing Apache Avro Serialization in Flink # Apache Avro is a data serialization format that has very well-defined schema migration semantics and supports both reader and writer schemas.

 Writing out the snapshot # When serializing out the snapshot, the snapshot configuration will write two pieces of information; the current snapshot configuration version and the serializer configuration.
 @Override public int getCurrentVersion() { return 1; } ​ @Override public void writeSnapshot(DataOutputView out) throws IOException { out.writeUTF(runtimeSchema.toString(false)); } The version is used to version the snapshot configuration object itself while the writeSnapshot method writes out all the information we need to understand the current format; the runtime schema.
 @Override public void readSnapshot( int readVersion, DataInputView in, ClassLoader userCodeClassLoader) throws IOException { assert readVersion == 1; final String previousSchemaDefinition = in.readUTF(); this.previousSchema = parseAvroSchema(previousSchemaDefinition); this.runtimeType = findClassOrFallbackToGeneric( userCodeClassLoader, previousSchema.getFullName()); ​ this.runtimeSchema = tryExtractAvroSchema(userCodeClassLoader, runtimeType); } Now when Flink restores it is able to read back in the writer schema used to serialize the data. The current runtime schema is discovered on the class path using some Java reflection magic.
 Once we have both of these we can compare them for compatibility. Perhaps nothing has changed and the schemas are compatible as is.

 final SchemaPairCompatibility compatibility = SchemaCompatibility .checkReaderWriterCompatibility(previousSchema, runtimeSchema); ​ return avroCompatibilityToFlinkCompatibility(compatibility); } If they are compatible with migration then Flink will restore a new serializer that can read the old schema and deserialize into the new runtime type which is in effect a migration.

Essentially, the State Processor API is based around a relational model of mapping your Flink job state to a database, as illustrated in the diagram below. We encourage you to read the previous story for more information on the API and how to use it. In a follow up post, we will provide detailed tutorials on:
 Reading Keyed and Operator State with the State Processor API and Writing and Bootstrapping Keyed and Operator State with the State Processor API Stay tuned for more details and guidance around this feature of Flink.
 Looking ahead: More ways to interact with State in Flink # There is a lot of discussion happening in the community related to extending the way Flink developers interact with state in their Flink applications. Regarding the State Processor API, some thoughts revolve around further broadening the API’s scope beyond its current ability to read from and write to both keyed and operator state. In upcoming releases, the State processor API will be extended to support both reading from and writing to windows and have a first-class integration with Flink’s Table API and SQL.
 Beyond widening the scope of the State Processor API, the Flink community is discussing a few additional ways to improve the way developers interact with state in Flink. One of them is the proposal for a Unified Savepoint Format (FLIP-41) for all keyed state backends. Such improvement aims at introducing a unified binary format across all savepoints in all keyed state backends, something that drastically reduces the overhead of swapping the state backend in a Flink application. Such an improvement would allow developers to take a savepoint in their application and restart it in a different state backend — for example, moving it from the heap to disk (RocksDB state backend) and back — depending on the scalability and evolution of the application at different points-in-time.
 The community is also discussing the ability to have upgradability dry runs in upcoming Flink releases. Having such functionality in Flink allows developers to detect incompatible updates offline without the need of starting a new Flink job from scratch. For example, Flink users will be able to uncover topology or schema incompatibilities upon upgrading a Flink job, without having to load the state back to a running Flink job in the first place. Additionally, with upgradability dry runs Flink users will be able to get information about the registered state through the streaming graph, without needing to access the state in the state backend.
 With all the exciting new functionality added in Flink 1.9 as well as some solid ideas and discussions around bringing state in Flink to the next level, the community is committed to making state in Apache Flink a fundamental element of the framework, something that is ever-present across versions and upgrades of your application and a component that is a true first-class citizen in Apache Flink. We encourage you to sign up to the mailing list and stay on top of the announcements and new features in upcoming releases.

 Dynamic updates of application logic Dynamic data partitioning (shuffle), controlled at runtime Low latency alerting based on custom windowing logic (without using the window API) These patterns expand the possibilities of what is achievable with statically defined data flows and provide the building blocks to fulfill complex business requirements.
 Dynamic updates of application logic allow Flink jobs to change at runtime, without downtime from stopping and resubmitting the code.
 Dynamic data partitioning provides the ability to change how events are distributed and grouped by Flink at runtime. Such functionality often becomes a natural requirement when building jobs with dynamically reconfigurable application logic.
 Custom window management demonstrates how you can utilize the low level process function API, when the native window API is not exactly matching your requirements. Specifically, you will learn how to implement low latency alerting on windows and how to limit state growth with timers.
-These patterns build on top of core Flink functionality, however, they might not be immediately apparent from the framework\u0026rsquo;s documentation as explaining and presenting the motivation behind them is not always trivial without a concrete use case. That is why we will showcase these patterns with a practical example that offers a real-world usage scenario for Apache Flink — a Fraud Detection engine. We hope that this series will place these powerful approaches into your tool belt and enable you to take on new and exciting tasks.

 In the first blog post of the series we will look at the high-level architecture of the demo application, describe its components and their interactions. We will then deep dive into the implementation details of the first pattern in the series - dynamic data partitioning.
 You will be able to run the full Fraud Detection Demo application locally and look into the details of the implementation by using the accompanying GitHub repository.

 You will see the demo is a self-contained application - it only requires docker and docker-compose to be built from sources and includes the following components:
 Apache Kafka (message broker) with ZooKeeper Apache Flink (application cluster) Fraud Detection Web App The high-level goal of the Fraud Detection engine is to consume a stream of financial transactions and evaluate them against a set of rules. These rules are subject to frequent changes and tweaks. In a real production system, it is important to be able to add and remove them at runtime, without incurring an expensive penalty of stopping and restarting the job.
 When you navigate to the demo URL in your browser, you will be presented with the following UI:
-Figure 1: Fraud Detection Demo UI On the left side, you can see a visual representation of financial transactions flowing through the system after you click the \u0026ldquo;Start\u0026rdquo; button. The slider at the top allows you to control the number of generated transactions per second. The middle section is devoted to managing the rules evaluated by Flink. From here, you can create new rules as well as issue control commands, such as clearing Flink\u0026rsquo;s state.

The slider at the top allows you to control the number of generated transactions per second. The middle section is devoted to managing the rules evaluated by Flink. From here, you can create new rules as well as issue control commands, such as clearing Flink&rsquo;s state.
 The demo out-of-the-box comes with a set of predefined sample rules. You can click the Start button and, after some time, will observe alerts displayed in the right section of the UI. These alerts are the result of Flink evaluating the generated transactions stream against the predefined rules.
 Our sample fraud detection system consists of three main components:
 Frontend (React) Backend (SpringBoot) Fraud Detection application (Apache Flink) Interactions between the main elements are depicted in Figure 2.
-Figure 2: Fraud Detection Demo Components The Backend exposes a REST API to the Frontend for creating/deleting rules as well as issuing control commands for managing the demo execution. It then relays those Frontend actions to Flink by sending them via a \u0026ldquo;Control\u0026rdquo; Kafka topic. The Backend additionally includes a Transactions Generator component, which sends an emulated stream of money transfer events to Flink via a separate \u0026ldquo;Transactions\u0026rdquo; topic. Alerts generated by Flink are consumed by the Backend from \u0026ldquo;Alerts\u0026rdquo; topic and relayed to the UI via WebSockets.
-Now that you are familiar with the overall layout and the goal of our Fraud Detection engine, let\u0026rsquo;s now go into the details of what is required to implement such a system.

 Dynamic Data Partitioning # The first pattern we will look into is Dynamic Data Partitioning.
-If you have used Flink\u0026rsquo;s DataStream API in the past, you are undoubtedly familiar with the keyBy method. Keying a stream shuffles all the records such that elements with the same key are assigned to the same partition. This means all records with the same key are processed by the same physical instance of the next operator.
+If you have used Flink&rsquo;s DataStream API in the past, you are undoubtedly familiar with the keyBy method. Keying a stream shuffles all the records such that elements with the same key are assigned to the same partition. This means all records with the same key are processed by the same physical instance of the next operator.
 In a typical streaming application, the choice of key is fixed, determined by some static field within the elements. For instance, when building a simple window-based aggregation of a stream of transactions, we might always group by the transactions account id.
-DataStream\u0026lt;Transaction\u0026gt; input = // [...] DataStream\u0026lt;...\u0026gt; windowed = input .keyBy(Transaction::getAccountId) .window(/*window specification*/); This approach is the main building block for achieving horizontal scalability in a wide range of use cases. However, in the case of an application striving to provide flexibility in business logic at runtime, this is not enough. To understand why this is the case, let us start with articulating a realistic sample rule definition for our fraud detection system in the form of a functional requirement:
-\u0026ldquo;Whenever the sum of the accumulated payment amount from the same payer to the same beneficiary within the duration of a week is greater than 1 000 000 $ - fire an alert.\u0026rdquo;
+DataStream&lt;Transaction&gt; input = // [...] DataStream&lt;...&gt; windowed = input .keyBy(Transaction::getAccountId) .window(/*window specification*/); This approach is the main building block for achieving horizontal scalability in a wide range of use cases.

+&ldquo;Whenever the sum of the accumulated payment amount from the same payer to the same beneficiary within the duration of a week is greater than 1 000 000 $ - fire an alert.&rdquo;
 In this formulation we can spot a number of parameters that we would like to be able to specify in a newly-submitted rule and possibly even later modify or tweak at runtime:
 Aggregation field (payment amount) Grouping fields (payer + beneficiary) Aggregation function (sum) Window duration (1 week) Limit (1 000 000) Limit operator (greater) Accordingly, we will use the following simple JSON format to define the aforementioned parameters:
-{ \u0026#34;ruleId\u0026#34;: 1, \u0026#34;ruleState\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;ACTIVE\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;groupingKeyNames\u0026#34;: [\u0026#34;payerId\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;beneficiaryId\u0026#34;], \u0026#34;aggregateFieldName\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;paymentAmount\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;aggregatorFunctionType\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;SUM\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;limitOperatorType\u0026#34;: \u0026#34;GREATER\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;limit\u0026#34;: 1000000, \u0026#34;windowMinutes\u0026#34;: 10080 } At this point, it is important to understand that groupingKeyNames determine the actual physical grouping of events - all Transactions with the same values of specified parameters (e.g. payer #25 -\u0026gt; beneficiary #12) have to be aggregated in the same physical instance of the evaluating operator. Naturally, the process of distributing data in such a way in Flink\u0026rsquo;s API is realised by a keyBy() function.
-Most examples in Flink\u0026rsquo;s keyBy()documentation use a hard-coded KeySelector, which extracts specific fixed events\u0026rsquo; fields. However, to support the desired flexibility, we have to extract them in a more dynamic fashion based on the specifications of the rules. For this, we will have to use one additional operator that prepares every event for dispatching to a correct aggregating instance.
+{ &#34;ruleId&#34;: 1, &#34;ruleState&#34;: &#34;ACTIVE&#34;, &#34;groupingKeyNames&#34;: [&#34;payerId&#34;, &#34;beneficiaryId&#34;], &#34;aggregateFieldName&#34;: &#34;paymentAmount&#34;, &#34;aggregatorFunctionType&#34;: &#34;SUM&#34;, &#34;limitOperatorType&#34;: &#34;GREATER&#34;, &#34;limit&#34;: 1000000, &#34;windowMinutes&#34;: 10080 } At this point, it is important to understand that groupingKeyNames determine the actual physical grouping of events - all Transactions with the same values of specified parameters (e.g. payer #25 -&gt; beneficiary #12) have to be aggregated in the same physical instance of the evaluating operator.

 On a high level, our main processing pipeline looks like this:
-DataStream\u0026lt;Alert\u0026gt; alerts = transactions .process(new DynamicKeyFunction()) .keyBy(/* some key selector */); .process(/* actual calculations and alerting */) We have previously established that each rule defines a groupingKeyNames parameter that specifies which combination of fields will be used for the incoming events\u0026rsquo; grouping. Each rule might use an arbitrary combination of these fields. At the same time, every incoming event potentially needs to be evaluated against multiple rules. This implies that events might simultaneously need to be present at multiple parallel instances of evaluating operators that correspond to different rules and hence will need to be forked. Ensuring such events dispatching is the purpose of DynamicKeyFunction().

Ensuring such events dispatching is the purpose of DynamicKeyFunction().
 Figure 3: Forking events with Dynamic Key Function DynamicKeyFunction iterates over a set of defined rules and prepares every event to be processed by a keyBy() function by extracting the required grouping keys:
-public class DynamicKeyFunction extends ProcessFunction\u0026lt;Transaction, Keyed\u0026lt;Transaction, String, Integer\u0026gt;\u0026gt; { ... /* Simplified */ List\u0026lt;Rule\u0026gt; rules = /* Rules that are initialized somehow. Details will be discussed in a future blog post. */; @Override public void processElement( Transaction event, Context ctx, Collector\u0026lt;Keyed\u0026lt;Transaction, String, Integer\u0026gt;\u0026gt; out) { for (Rule rule :rules) { out.collect( new Keyed\u0026lt;\u0026gt;( event, KeysExtractor.getKey(rule.getGroupingKeyNames(), event), rule.getRuleId())); } } ... } KeysExtractor.getKey() uses reflection to extract the required values of groupingKeyNames fields from events and combines them as a single concatenated String key, e.g \u0026quot;{payerId=25;beneficiaryId=12}\u0026quot;. Flink will calculate the hash of this key and assign the processing of this particular combination to a specific server in the cluster. This will allow tracking all transactions between payer #25 and beneficiary #12 and evaluating defined rules within the desired time window.
+public class DynamicKeyFunction extends ProcessFunction&lt;Transaction, Keyed&lt;Transaction, String, Integer&gt;&gt; { ... /* Simplified */ List&lt;Rule&gt; rules = /* Rules that are initialized somehow.

This will allow tracking all transactions between payer #25 and beneficiary #12 and evaluating defined rules within the desired time window.
 Notice that a wrapper class Keyed with the following signature was introduced as the output type of DynamicKeyFunction:
-public class Keyed\u0026lt;IN, KEY, ID\u0026gt; { private IN wrapped; private KEY key; private ID id; ... public KEY getKey(){ return key; } } Fields of this POJO carry the following information: wrapped is the original transaction event, key is the result of using KeysExtractor and id is the ID of the Rule that caused the dispatch of the event (according to the rule-specific grouping logic).
+public class Keyed&lt;IN, KEY, ID&gt; { private IN wrapped; private KEY key; private ID id; ... public KEY getKey(){ return key; } } Fields of this POJO carry the following information: wrapped is the original transaction event, key is the result of using KeysExtractor and id is the ID of the Rule that caused the dispatch of the event (according to the rule-specific grouping logic).
 Events of this type will be the input to the keyBy() function in the main processing pipeline and allow the use of a simple lambda-expression as a KeySelector for the final step of implementing dynamic data shuffle.
-DataStream\u0026lt;Alert\u0026gt; alerts = transactions .process(new DynamicKeyFunction()) .keyBy((keyed) -\u0026gt; keyed.getKey()); .process(new DynamicAlertFunction()) By applying DynamicKeyFunction we are implicitly copying events for performing parallel per-rule evaluation within a Flink cluster. By doing so, we achieve an important property - horizontal scalability of rules\u0026rsquo; processing. Our system will be capable of handling more rules by adding more servers to the cluster, i.e. increasing the parallelism. This property is achieved at the cost of data duplication, which might become an issue depending on the specific set of parameters, such as incoming data rate, available network bandwidth, event payload size etc. In a real-life scenario, additional optimizations can be applied, such as combined evaluation of rules which have the same groupingKeyNames, or a filtering layer, which would strip events of all the fields that are not required for processing of a particular rule.

 Summary: # In this blog post, we have discussed the motivation behind supporting dynamic, runtime changes to a Flink application by looking at a sample use case - a Fraud Detection engine. We have described the overall architecture and interactions between its components as well as provided references for building and running a demo Fraud Detection application in a dockerized setup. We then showed the details of implementing a dynamic data partitioning pattern as the first underlying building block to enable flexible runtime configurations.
 To remain focused on describing the core mechanics of the pattern, we kept the complexity of the DSL and the underlying rules engine to a minimum. Going forward, it is easy to imagine adding extensions such as allowing more sophisticated rule definitions, including filtering of certain events, logical rules chaining, and other more advanced functionality.
 In the second part of this series, we will describe how the rules make their way into the running Fraud Detection engine. Additionally, we will go over the implementation details of the main processing function of the pipeline - DynamicAlertFunction().

 A short intro to Apache Pulsar # Apache Pulsar is a flexible pub/sub messaging system, backed by durable log storage. Some of the framework’s highlights include multi-tenancy, a unified message model, structured event streams and a cloud-native architecture that make it a perfect fit for a wide set of use cases, ranging from billing, payments and trading services all the way to the unification of the different messaging architectures in an organization. If you are interested in finding out more about Pulsar, you can visit the Apache Pulsar documentation or get in touch with the Pulsar community on Slack.
-Existing Pulsar \u0026amp; Flink integration (Apache Flink 1.6+) # The existing integration between Pulsar and Flink exploits Pulsar as a message queue in a Flink application. Flink developers can utilize Pulsar as a streaming source and streaming sink for their Flink applications by selecting a specific Pulsar source and connecting to their desired Pulsar cluster and topic:
-// create and configure Pulsar consumer PulsarSourceBuilder\u0026lt;String\u0026gt;builder = PulsarSourceBuilder .builder(new SimpleStringSchema()) .serviceUrl(serviceUrl) .topic(inputTopic) .subsciptionName(subscription); SourceFunction\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; src = builder.build(); // ingest DataStream with Pulsar consumer DataStream\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; words = env.addSource(src); Pulsar streams can then get connected to the Flink processing logic…
-// perform computation on DataStream (here a simple WordCount) DataStream\u0026lt;WordWithCount\u0026gt; wc = words .flatmap((FlatMapFunction\u0026lt;String, WordWithCount\u0026gt;) (word, collector) -\u0026gt; { collector.collect(new WordWithCount(word, 1)); }) .returns(WordWithCount.class) .keyBy(\u0026#34;word\u0026#34;) .timeWindow(Time.seconds(5)) .reduce((ReduceFunction\u0026lt;WordWithCount\u0026gt;) (c1, c2) -\u0026gt; new WordWithCount(c1.word, c1.count + c2.count)); \u0026hellip;and then get emitted back to Pulsar (used now as a sink), sending one’s computation results downstream, back to a Pulsar topic:

Some shortcomings of the integration with Flink 1.6.0 relate to Pulsar neither being utilized as durable storage nor having schema integration with Flink, resulting in manual input when describing an application’s schema registry.

 Pulsar’s integration with Flink 1.9: Using Pulsar as a Flink catalog # The latest integration between Flink 1.9.0 and Pulsar addresses most of the previously mentioned shortcomings. The contribution of Alibaba’s Blink to the Flink repository adds many enhancements and new features to the processing framework that make the integration with Pulsar significantly more powerful and impactful. Flink 1.9.0 brings Pulsar schema integration into the picture, makes the Table API a first-class citizen and provides an exactly-once streaming source and at-least-once streaming sink with Pulsar. Lastly, with schema integration, Pulsar can now be registered as a Flink catalog, making running Flink queries on top of Pulsar streams a matter of a few commands. In the following sections, we will take a closer look at the new integrations and provide examples of how to query Pulsar streams using Flink SQL.
-Leveraging the Flink \u0026lt;\u0026gt; Pulsar Schema Integration # Before delving into the integration details and how you can use Pulsar schema with Flink, let us describe how schema in Pulsar works. Schema in Apache Pulsar already co-exists and serves as the representation of the data on the broker side of the framework, something that makes schema registry with external systems obsolete. Additionally, the data schema in Pulsar is associated with each topic so both producers and consumers send data with predefined schema information, while the broker performs schema validation, and manages schema multi-versioning and evolution in compatibility checks.
+Leveraging the Flink &lt;&gt; Pulsar Schema Integration # Before delving into the integration details and how you can use Pulsar schema with Flink, let us describe how schema in Pulsar works. Schema in Apache Pulsar already co-exists and serves as the representation of the data on the broker side of the framework, something that makes schema registry with external systems obsolete. Additionally, the data schema in Pulsar is associated with each topic so both producers and consumers send data with predefined schema information, while the broker performs schema validation, and manages schema multi-versioning and evolution in compatibility checks.
 Below you can find an example of Pulsar’s schema on both the producer and consumer side. On the producer side, you can specify which schema you want to use and Pulsar then sends a POJO class without the need to perform any serialization/deserialization. Similarly, on the consumer end, you can also specify the data schema and upon receiving the data, Pulsar will automatically validate the schema information, fetch the schema of the given version and then deserialize the data back to a POJO structure. Pulsar stores the schema information in the metadata of a Pulsar topic.
-// Create producer with Struct schema and send messages Producer\u0026lt;User\u0026gt; producer = client.newProducer(Schema.AVRO(User.class)).create(); producer.newMessage() .value(User.builder() .userName(“pulsar-user”) .userId(1L) .build()) .send(); // Create consumer with Struct schema and receive messages Consumer\u0026lt;User\u0026gt; consumer = client.newCOnsumer(Schema.AVRO(User.class)).create(); consumer.receive(); Let’s assume we have an application that specifies a schema to the producer and/or consumer. Upon receiving the schema information, the producer (or consumer) — that is connected to the broker — will transfer such information so that the broker can then perform schema registration, validations and schema compatibility checks before returning or rejecting the schema as illustrated in the diagram below:
+// Create producer with Struct schema and send messages Producer&lt;User&gt; producer = client.newProducer(Schema.AVRO(User.class)).create(); producer.newMessage() .value(User.builder() .userName(“pulsar-user”) .userId(1L) .build()) .send(); // Create consumer with Struct schema and receive messages Consumer&lt;User&gt; consumer = client.newCOnsumer(Schema.AVRO(User.class)).create(); consumer.receive(); Let’s assume we have an application that specifies a schema to the producer and/or consumer. Upon receiving the schema information, the producer (or consumer) — that is connected to the broker — will transfer such information so that the broker can then perform schema registration, validations and schema compatibility checks before returning or rejecting the schema as illustrated in the diagram below:
 Not only is Pulsar able to handle and store the schema information, but is additionally able to handle any schema evolution — where necessary. Pulsar will effectively manage any schema evolution in the broker, keeping track of all different versions of your schema while performing any necessary compatibility checks.
 Moreover, when messages are published on the producer side, Pulsar will tag each message with the schema version as part of each message’s metadata. On the consumer side, when the message is received and the metadata is deserialized, Pulsar will check the schema version associated with this message and will fetch the corresponding schema information from the broker. As a result, when Pulsar integrates with a Flink application it uses the pre-existing schema information and maps individual messages with schema information to a different row in Flink’s type system.
 For the cases when Flink users do not interact with schema directly or make use of primitive schema (for example, using a topic to store a string or long number), Pulsar will either convert the message payload into a Flink row, called ‘value’ or — for the cases of structured schema types, like JSON and AVRO — Pulsar will extract the individual fields from the schema information and will map the fields to Flink’s type system. Finally, all metadata information associated with each message, such as the message key, topic, publish time, or event time will be converted into metadata fields in a Flink row. Below we provide two examples of primitive schema and structured schema types and how these will be transformed from a Pulsar topic to Flink’s type system.
 Once all the schema information is mapped to Flink’s type system, you can start building a Pulsar source, sink or catalog in Flink based on the specified schema information as illustrated below:

Once all three elements are put together, Pulsar can then be registered as a catalog in Flink, something that drastically simplifies how you process and query data like, for example, writing a program to query data from Pulsar or using the Table API and SQL to query Pulsar data streams.

 There is still a lot of ongoing work and effort from both communities in getting the integration even better, such as a new source API (FLIP-27) that will allow the contribution of the Pulsar connectors to the Flink community as well as a new subscription type called Key_Shared subscription type in Pulsar that will allow efficient scaling of the source parallelism. Additional efforts focus around the provision of end-to-end, exactly-once guarantees (currently available only in the source Pulsar connector, and not the sink Pulsar connector) and more efforts around using Pulsar/BookKeeper as a Flink state backend.
 You can find a more detailed overview of the integration work between the two communities in this recording video from Flink Forward Europe 2019 or sign up to the Flink dev mailing list for the latest contribution and integration efforts between Flink and Pulsar.

It consists of a Flink job that checks financial transactions for fraud, and two microservices that generate and display the transactions. You can find more details about this demo in the KUDO Operators repository, including instructions for installing the dependencies.
 Prerequisites # You can run this demo on your local machine using minikube. The instructions below were tested with minikube v1.5.1 and Kubernetes v1.16.2 but should work on any Kubernetes version above v1.15.0. First, start a minikube cluster with enough capacity:
 minikube start --cpus=6 --memory=9216 --disk-size=10g

 $ brew tap kudobuilder/tap $ brew install kudo-cli Now, let’s initialize KUDO on our Kubernetes cluster:
 $ kubectl kudo init $KUDO_HOME has been configured at /Users/gerred/.kudo This will create several resources. First, it will create the Custom Resource Definitions, service account, and role bindings necessary for KUDO to operate. It will also create an instance of the KUDO controller so that we can begin creating instances of applications.
 The KUDO CLI leverages the kubectl plugin system, which gives you all its functionality under kubectl kudo. This is a convenient way to install and deal with your KUDO Operators. For our demo, we use Kafka and Flink which depend on ZooKeeper. To make the ZooKeeper Operator available on the cluster, run:
-$ kubectl kudo install zookeeper --version=0.3.0 --skip-instance The \u0026ndash;skip-instance flag skips the creation of a ZooKeeper instance. The flink-demo Operator that we’re going to install below will create it as a dependency instead. Now let’s make the Kafka and Flink Operators available the same way:
+$ kubectl kudo install zookeeper --version=0.3.0 --skip-instance The &ndash;skip-instance flag skips the creation of a ZooKeeper instance. The flink-demo Operator that we’re going to install below will create it as a dependency instead. Now let’s make the Kafka and Flink Operators available the same way:
 $ kubectl kudo install kafka --version=1.2.0 --skip-instance $ kubectl kudo install flink --version=0.2.1 --skip-instance This installs all the Operator versions needed for our demo.
 Financial Fraud Demo # In our financial fraud demo we have two microservices, called “generator” and “actor”. The generator produces transactions with random amounts and writes them into a Kafka topic. Occasionally, the value will be over 10,000 which is considered fraud for the purpose of this demo. The Flink job subscribes to the Kafka topic and detects fraudulent transactions. When it does, it submits them to another Kafka topic which the actor consumes. The actor simply displays each fraudulent transaction.
 The KUDO CLI by default installs Operators from the official repository, but it also supports installation from your local filesystem. This is useful if you want to develop your own Operator, or modify this demo for your own purposes.
 First, clone the “kudobuilder/operators” repository via:
 $ git clone https://github.com/kudobuilder/operators.git Next, change into the “operators” directory and install the demo-operator from your local filesystem:
-$ cd operators $ kubectl kudo install repository/flink/docs/demo/financial-fraud/demo-operator --instance flink-demo instance.kudo.dev/v1beta1/flink-demo created This time we didn’t include the \u0026ndash;skip-instance flag, so KUDO will actually deploy all the components, including Flink, Kafka, and ZooKeeper. KUDO orchestrates deployments and other lifecycle operations using plans that were defined by the Operator developer. Plans are similar to runbooks and encapsulate all the procedures required to operate the software. We can track the status of the deployment using this KUDO command:
-$ kubectl kudo plan status --instance flink-demo Plan(s) for \u0026#34;flink-demo\u0026#34; in namespace \u0026#34;default\u0026#34;: . └── flink-demo (Operator-Version: \u0026#34;flink-demo-0.1.4\u0026#34; Active-Plan: \u0026#34;deploy\u0026#34;) └── Plan deploy (serial strategy) [IN_PROGRESS] ├── Phase dependencies [IN_PROGRESS] │ ├── Step zookeeper (COMPLETE) │ └── Step kafka (IN_PROGRESS) ├── Phase flink-cluster [PENDING] │ └── Step flink (PENDING) ├── Phase demo [PENDING] │ ├── Step gen (PENDING) │ └── Step act (PENDING) └── Phase flink-job [PENDING] └── Step submit (PENDING) The output shows that the “deploy” plan is in progress and that it consists of 4 phases: “dependencies”, “flink-cluster”, “demo” and “flink-job”. The “dependencies” phase includes steps for “zookeeper” and “kafka”. This is where both dependencies get installed, before KUDO continues to install the Flink cluster and the demo itself. We also see that ZooKeeper installation completed, and that Kafka installation is currently in progress. We can view details about Kafka’s deployment plan via:
-$ kubectl kudo plan status --instance flink-demo-kafka Plan(s) for \u0026#34;flink-demo-kafka\u0026#34; in namespace \u0026#34;default\u0026#34;: . └── flink-demo-kafka (Operator-Version: \u0026#34;kafka-1.2.0\u0026#34; Active-Plan: \u0026#34;deploy\u0026#34;) ├── Plan deploy (serial strategy) [IN_PROGRESS] │ └── Phase deploy-kafka [IN_PROGRESS] │ └── Step deploy (IN_PROGRESS) └── Plan not-allowed (serial strategy) [NOT ACTIVE] └── Phase not-allowed (serial strategy) [NOT ACTIVE] └── Step not-allowed (serial strategy) [NOT ACTIVE] └── not-allowed [NOT ACTIVE] After Kafka was successfully installed the next phase “flink-cluster” will start and bring up, you guessed it, your flink-cluster. After this is done, the demo phase creates the generator and actor pods that generate and display transactions for this demo. Lastly, we have the flink-job phase in which we submit the actual FinancialFraudJob to the Flink cluster. Once the flink job is submitted, we will be able to see fraud logs in our actor pod shortly after.

Lastly, we have the flink-job phase in which we submit the actual FinancialFraudJob to the Flink cluster. Once the flink job is submitted, we will be able to see fraud logs in our actor pod shortly after.
 After a while, the state of all plans, phases and steps will change to “COMPLETE”. Now we can view the Flink dashboard to verify that our job is running. To access it from outside the Kubernetes cluster, first start the client proxy, then open the URL below in your browser:
 $ kubectl proxy http://127.0.0.1:8001/api/v1/namespaces/default/services/flink-demo-flink-jobmanager:ui/proxy/#/overview
 It should look similar to this, depending on your local machine and how many cores you have available:
 The job is up and running and we should now be able to see fraudulent transaction in the logs of the actor pod:
-$ kubectl logs $(kubectl get pod -l actor=flink-demo -o jsonpath=\u0026#34;{.items[0].metadata.name}\u0026#34;) Broker: flink-demo-kafka-kafka-0.flink-demo-kafka-svc:9093 Topic: fraud Detected Fraud: TransactionAggregate {startTimestamp=0, endTimestamp=1563395831000, totalAmount=19895: Transaction{timestamp=1563395778000, origin=1, target=\u0026#39;3\u0026#39;, amount=8341} Transaction{timestamp=1563395813000, origin=1, target=\u0026#39;3\u0026#39;, amount=8592} Transaction{timestamp=1563395817000, origin=1, target=\u0026#39;3\u0026#39;, amount=2802} Transaction{timestamp=1563395831000, origin=1, target=\u0026#39;3\u0026#39;, amount=160}} If you add the “-f” flag to the previous command, you can follow along as more transactions are streaming in and are evaluated by our Flink job.

 Conclusion # In this blog post we demonstrated how to easily deploy an end-to-end streaming data application on Kubernetes using KUDO. We deployed a Flink job and two microservices, as well as all the required infrastructure - Flink, Kafka, and ZooKeeper using just a few kubectl commands.

Ask no more! Apache Flink 1.9.0 introduces the State Processor API, a powerful extension of the DataSet API that allows reading, writing and modifying state in Flink&rsquo;s savepoints and checkpoints.
 In this post, we explain why this feature is a big step for Flink, what you can use it for, and how to use it. Finally, we will discuss the future of the State Processor API and how it aligns with our plans to evolve Flink into a system for unified batch and stream processing.
 Stateful Stream Processing with Apache Flink until Flink 1.9 # All non-trivial stream processing applications are stateful and most of them are designed to run for months or years. Over time, many of them accumulate a lot of valuable state that can be very expensive or even impossible to rebuild if it gets lost due to a failure. In order to guarantee the consistency and durability of application state, Flink featured a sophisticated checkpointing and recovery mechanism from very early on. With every release, the Flink community has added more and more state-related features to improve checkpointing and recovery speed, the maintenance of applications, and practices to manage applications.
 However, a feature that was commonly requested by Flink users was the ability to access the state of an application “from the outside”. This request was motivated by the need to validate or debug the state of an application, to migrate the state of an application to another application, to evolve an application from the Heap State Backend to the RocksDB State Backend, or to import the initial state of an application from an external system like a relational database.
-Despite all those convincing reasons to expose application state externally, your access options have been fairly limited until now. Flink\u0026rsquo;s Queryable State feature only supports key-lookups (point queries) and does not guarantee the consistency of returned values (the value of a key might be different before and after an application recovered from a failure). Moreover, queryable state cannot be used to add or modify the state of an application. Also, savepoints, which are consistent snapshots of an application\u0026rsquo;s state, were not accessible because the application state is encoded with a custom binary format.

 Reading and Writing Application State with the State Processor API # The State Processor API that comes with Flink 1.9 is a true game-changer in how you can work with application state! In a nutshell, it extends the DataSet API with Input and OutputFormats to read and write savepoint or checkpoint data. Due to the interoperability of DataSet and Table API, you can even use relational Table API or SQL queries to analyze and process state data.
-For example, you can take a savepoint of a running stream processing application and analyze it with a DataSet batch program to verify that the application behaves correctly. Or you can read a batch of data from any store, preprocess it, and write the result to a savepoint that you use to bootstrap the state of a streaming application. It\u0026rsquo;s also possible to fix inconsistent state entries now. Finally, the State Processor API opens up many ways to evolve a stateful application that were previously blocked by parameter and design choices that could not be changed without losing all the state of the application after it was started. For example, you can now arbitrarily modify the data types of states, adjust the maximum parallelism of operators, split or merge operator state, re-assign operator UIDs, and so on.

 Mapping Application State to DataSets # The State Processor API maps the state of a streaming application to one or more data sets that can be separately processed. In order to be able to use the API, you need to understand how this mapping works.
-But let\u0026rsquo;s first have a look at what a stateful Flink job looks like. A Flink job is composed of operators, typically one or more source operators, a few operators for the actual processing, and one or more sink operators. Each operator runs in parallel in one or more tasks and can work with different types of state. An operator can have zero, one, or more “operator states” which are organized as lists that are scoped to the operator\u0026rsquo;s tasks. If the operator is applied on a keyed stream, it can also have zero, one, or more “keyed states” which are scoped to a key that is extracted from each processed record. You can think of keyed state as a distributed key-value map.

If the operator is applied on a keyed stream, it can also have zero, one, or more “keyed states” which are scoped to a key that is extracted from each processed record. You can think of keyed state as a distributed key-value map.
 The following figure shows the application “MyApp” which consists of three operators called “Src”, “Proc”, and “Snk”. Src has one operator state (os1), Proc has one operator state (os2) and two keyed states (ks1, ks2) and Snk is stateless.
-A savepoint or checkpoint of MyApp consists of the data of all states, organized in a way that the states of each task can be restored. When processing the data of a savepoint (or checkpoint) with a batch job, we need a mental model that maps the data of the individual tasks\u0026rsquo; states into data sets or tables. In fact, we can think of a savepoint as a database. Every operator (identified by its UID) represents a namespace. Each operator state of an operator is mapped to a dedicated table in the namespace with a single column that holds the state\u0026rsquo;s data of all tasks. All keyed states of an operator are mapped to a single table consisting of a column for the key, and one column for each keyed state. The following figure shows how a savepoint of MyApp is mapped to a database.
-The figure shows how the values of Src\u0026rsquo;s operator state are mapped to a table with one column and five rows, one row for all list entries across all parallel tasks of Src. Operator state os2 of the operator “Proc” is similarly mapped to an individual table. The keyed states ks1 and ks2 are combined to a single table with three columns, one for the key, one for ks1 and one for ks2. The keyed table holds one row for each distinct key of both keyed states. Since the operator “Snk” does not have any state, its namespace is empty.
-The State Processor API now offers methods to create, load, and write a savepoint. You can read a DataSet from a loaded savepoint or convert a DataSet into a state and add it to a savepoint. DataSets can be processed with the full feature set of the DataSet API. With these building blocks, all of the before-mentioned use cases (and more) can be addressed. Please have a look at the documentation if you\u0026rsquo;d like to learn how to use the State Processor API in detail.
-Why DataSet API? # In case you are familiar with Flink\u0026rsquo;s roadmap, you might be surprised that the State Processor API is based on the DataSet API. The Flink community plans to extend the DataStream API with the concept of BoundedStreams and deprecate the DataSet API. When designing this feature, we also evaluated the DataStream API or Table API but neither could provide the right feature set yet. Since we didn\u0026rsquo;t want to block this feature on the progress of Flink\u0026rsquo;s APIs, we decided to build it on the DataSet API, but kept its dependencies on the DataSet API to a minimum. Hence, migrating it to another API should be fairly easy.

 Summary # Flink users have requested a feature to access and modify the state of streaming applications from the outside for a long time. With the State Processor API, Flink 1.9.0 finally exposes application state as a data format that can be manipulated. This feature opens up many new possibilities for how users can maintain and manage Flink streaming applications, including arbitrary evolution of stream applications and exporting and bootstrapping of application state. To put it concisely, the State Processor API unlocks the black box that savepoints used to be.

 The 1.9 release was the result of the biggest community effort the project has experienced so far, with the number of contributors soaring to 190 (see The Bigger Picture). For a quick overview of the upcoming work for Flink 1.10 (and beyond), have a look at the updated roadmap!
 Integration of the Chinese-speaking community # As the number of Chinese-speaking Flink users rapidly grows, the community is working on translating resources and creating dedicated spaces for discussion to invite and include these users in the wider Flink community. Part of the ongoing work is described in FLIP-35 and has resulted in:
-A new user mailing list (user-zh@f.a.o) dedicated to Chinese-speakers. * A Chinese translation of the Apache Flink [website](https://flink.apache.org/zh/) and [documentation](//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-master/zh/). * Multiple meetups organized all over China, with the biggest one reaching a whopping number of 500+ participants. Some of these meetups were also organized in collaboration with communities from other projects, like Apache Pulsar and Apache Kafka. In case you\u0026rsquo;re interested in knowing more about this work in progress, Robert Metzger and Fabian Hueske will be diving into \u0026ldquo;Inviting Apache Flink\u0026rsquo;s Chinese User Community\u0026rdquo; at the upcoming ApacheCon Europe 2019 (see Upcoming Flink Community Events).

 Organize and clean-up the structure of the docs; * Align the content with the overall direction of the project; * Improve the _getting-started_ material and make the content more accessible to different levels of Flink experience. Given that there has been some confusion in the past regarding unclear definition of core Flink concepts, one of the first completed efforts was to introduce a Glossary in the docs. To get up to speed with the roadmap for the remainder efforts, you can refer to FLIP-42 and the corresponding umbrella Jira ticket.
 Adjusting the Contribution Process and Experience # The guidelines to contribute to Apache Flink have been reworked on the website, in an effort to lower the entry barrier for new contributors and reduce the overall friction in the contribution process. In addition, the Flink community discussed and adopted bylaws to help the community collaborate and coordinate more smoothly.
-For code contributors, a Code Style and Quality Guide that captures the expected standards for contributions was also added to the \u0026ldquo;Contributing\u0026rdquo; section of the Flink website.
-It\u0026rsquo;s important to stress that contributions are not restricted to code. Non-code contributions such as mailing list support, documentation work or organization of community events are equally as important to the development of the project and highly encouraged.

+The Apache Flink project&rsquo;s goal is to develop a stream processing system to unify and power many forms of real-time and offline data processing applications as well as event-driven applications. In this release, we have made a huge step forward in that effort, by integrating Flink’s stream and batch processing capabilities under a single, unified runtime.
 Significant features on this path are batch-style recovery for batch jobs and a preview of the new Blink-based query engine for Table API and SQL queries. We are also excited to announce the availability of the State Processor API, which is one of the most frequently requested features and enables users to read and write savepoints with Flink DataSet jobs. Finally, Flink 1.9 includes a reworked WebUI and previews of Flink’s new Python Table API and its integration with the Apache Hive ecosystem.
 This blog post describes all major new features and improvements, important changes to be aware of and what to expect moving forward. For more details, check the complete release changelog.
 The binary distribution and source artifacts for this release are now available via the Downloads page of the Flink project, along with the updated documentation. Flink 1.9 is API-compatible with previous 1.x releases for APIs annotated with the @Public annotation.

 New Features and Improvements # Fine-grained Batch Recovery (FLIP-1) # The time to recover a batch (DataSet, Table API and SQL) job from a task failure was significantly reduced. Until Flink 1.9, task failures in batch jobs were recovered by canceling all tasks and restarting the whole job, i.e, the job was started from scratch and all progress was voided. With this release, Flink can be configured to limit the recovery to only those tasks that are in the same failover region. A failover region is the set of tasks that are connected via pipelined data exchanges. Hence, the batch-shuffle connections of a job define the boundaries of its failover regions. More details are available in FLIP-1. To use this new failover strategy, you need to do the following settings:
 Make sure you have the entry jobmanager.execution.failover-strategy: region in your flink-conf.yaml. Note: The configuration of the 1.9 distribution has that entry by default, but when reusing a configuration file from previous setups, you have to add it manually.
 Moreover, you need to set the ExecutionMode of batch jobs in the ExecutionConfig to BATCH to configure that data shuffles are not pipelined and jobs have more than one failover region.
-The \u0026ldquo;Region\u0026rdquo; failover strategy also improves the recovery of “embarrassingly parallel” streaming jobs, i.e., jobs without any shuffle like keyBy() or rebalance. When such a job is recovered, only the tasks of the affected pipeline (failover region) are restarted. For all other streaming jobs, the recovery behavior is the same as in prior Flink versions.

 State Processor API (FLIP-43) # Up to Flink 1.9, accessing the state of a job from the outside was limited to the (still) experimental Queryable State. This release introduces a new, powerful library to read, write and modify state snapshots using the batch DataSet API. In practice, this means:
 Flink job state can be bootstrapped by reading data from external systems, such as external databases, and converting it into a savepoint. State in savepoints can be queried using any of Flink’s batch APIs (DataSet, Table, SQL), for example to analyze relevant state patterns or check for discrepancies in state that can support application auditing or troubleshooting. The schema of state in savepoints can be migrated offline, compared to the previous approach requiring online migration on schema access. Invalid data in savepoints can be identified and corrected. The new State Processor API covers all variations of snapshots: savepoints, full checkpoints and incremental checkpoints. More details are available in FLIP-43
 Stop-with-Savepoint (FLIP-34) # Cancelling with a savepoint is a common operation for stopping/restarting, forking or updating Flink jobs. However, the existing implementation did not guarantee output persistence to external storage systems for exactly-once sinks. To improve the end-to-end semantics when stopping a job, Flink 1.9 introduces a new SUSPEND mode to stop a job with a savepoint that is consistent with the emitted data. You can suspend a job with Flink’s CLI client as follows:

 Important Changes # The Table API and SQL are now part of the default configuration of the Flink distribution. Before, the Table API and SQL had to be enabled by moving the corresponding JAR file from ./opt to ./lib. The machine learning library (flink-ml) has been removed in preparation for FLIP-39. The old DataSet and DataStream Python APIs have been removed in favor of FLIP-38. Flink can be compiled and run on Java 9. Note that certain components interacting with external systems (connectors, filesystems, reporters) may not work since the respective projects may have skipped Java 9 support.

 Monitoring # Probably the most important part of network monitoring is monitoring backpressure, a situation where a system is receiving data at a higher rate than it can process¹. Such behaviour will result in the sender being backpressured and may be caused by two things:
 The receiver is slow.
 This can happen because the receiver is backpressured itself, is unable to keep processing at the same rate as the sender, or is temporarily blocked by garbage collection, lack of system resources, or I/O.
@@ -3492,8 +3547,8 @@
 Even though in such case the receiver is not (directly) involved, we call the sender backpressured due to a potential oversubscription on network bandwidth shared by all subtasks running on the same machine. Beware that, in addition to Flink’s network stack, there may be more network users, such as sources and sinks, distributed file systems (checkpointing, network-attached storage), logging, and metrics. A previous capacity planning blog post provides some more insights.
 1 In case you are unfamiliar with backpressure and how it interacts with Flink, we recommend reading through this blog post on backpressure from 2015.
 If backpressure occurs, it will bubble upstream and eventually reach your sources and slow them down. This is not a bad thing per-se and merely states that you lack resources for the current load. However, you may want to improve your job so that it can cope with higher loads without using more resources. In order to do so, you need to find (1) where (at which task/operator) the bottleneck is and (2) what is causing it. Flink offers two mechanisms for identifying where the bottleneck is: directly via Flink’s web UI and its backpressure monitor, or indirectly through some of the network metrics. Flink’s web UI is likely the first entry point for a quick troubleshooting but has some disadvantages that we will explain below. On the other hand, Flink’s network metrics are better suited for continuous monitoring and reasoning about the exact nature of the bottleneck causing backpressure. We will cover both in the sections below. In both cases, you need to identify the origin of backpressure from the sources to the sinks. Your starting point for the current and future investigations will most likely be the operator after the last one that is experiencing backpressure. This specific operator is also highly likely to cause the backpressure in the first place.
-Backpressure Monitor # The backpressure monitor is only exposed via Flink’s web UI². Since it\u0026rsquo;s an active component that is only triggered on request, it is currently not available via metrics. The backpressure monitor samples the running tasks\u0026rsquo; threads on all TaskManagers via Thread.getStackTrace() and computes the number of samples where tasks were blocked on a buffer request. These tasks were either unable to send network buffers at the rate they were produced, or the downstream task(s) were slow at processing them and gave no credits for sending. The backpressure monitor will show the ratio of blocked to total requests. Since some backpressure is considered normal / temporary, it will show a status of
-OK for ratio ≤ 0.10, LOW for 0.10 \u0026lt; Ratio ≤ 0.5, and HIGH for 0.5 \u0026lt; Ratio ≤ 1. Although you can tune things like the refresh-interval, the number of samples, or the delay between samples, normally, you would not need to touch these since the defaults already give good-enough results.

 2 You may also access the backpressure monitor via the REST API: /jobs/:jobid/vertices/:vertexid/backpressure
 The backpressure monitor can help you find where (at which task/operator) backpressure originates from. However, it does not support you in further reasoning about the causes of it. Additionally, for larger jobs or higher parallelism, the backpressure monitor becomes too crowded to use and may also take some time to gather all information from all TaskManagers. Please also note that sampling may affect your running job’s performance. Network Metrics # Network and task I/O metrics are more lightweight than the backpressure monitor and are continuously published for each running job. We can leverage those and get even more insights, not only for backpressure monitoring. The most relevant metrics for users are:

 ### What to do with Backpressure? {:.no_toc} Assuming that you identified where the source of backpressure — a bottleneck — is located, the next step is to analyse why this is happening. Below, we list some potential causes of backpressure from the more basic to the more complex ones. We recommend to check the basic causes first, before diving deeper on the more complex ones and potentially drawing false conclusions.
 Please also recall that backpressure might be temporary and the result of a load spike, checkpointing, or a job restart with a data backlog waiting to be processed. In that case, you can often just ignore it. Alternatively, keep in mind that the process of analysing and solving the issue can be affected by the intermittent nature of your bottleneck. Having said that, here are a couple of things to check.
 System Resources # Firstly, you should check the incriminated machines’ basic resource usage like CPU, network, or disk I/O. If some resource is fully or heavily utilised you can do one of the following:
-Try to optimise your code. Code profilers are helpful in this case. Tune Flink for that specific resource. Scale out by increasing the parallelism and/or increasing the number of machines in the cluster. Garbage Collection # Oftentimes, performance issues arise from long GC pauses. You can verify whether you are in such a situation by either printing debug GC logs (via -XX:+PrintGCDetails) or by using some memory/GC profilers. Since dealing with GC issues is highly application-dependent and independent of Flink, we will not go into details here (Oracle\u0026rsquo;s Garbage Collection Tuning Guide or Plumbr’s Java Garbage Collection handbook seem like a good start).
-CPU/Thread Bottleneck # Sometimes a CPU bottleneck might not be visible at first glance if one or a couple of threads are causing the CPU bottleneck while the CPU usage of the overall machine remains relatively low. For instance, a single CPU-bottlenecked thread on a 48-core machine would result in only 2% CPU use. Consider using code profilers for this as they can identify hot threads by showing each threads\u0026rsquo; CPU usage, for example.

Consider using code profilers for this as they can identify hot threads by showing each threads&rsquo; CPU usage, for example.
 Thread Contention # Similarly to the CPU/thread bottleneck issue above, a subtask may be bottlenecked due to high thread contention on shared resources. Again, CPU profilers are your best friend here! Consider looking for synchronisation overhead / lock contention in user code — although adding synchronisation in user code should be avoided and may even be dangerous! Also consider investigating shared system resources. The default JVM’s SSL implementation, for example, can become contented around the shared /dev/urandom resource.
 Load Imbalance # If your bottleneck is caused by data skew, you can try to remove it or mitigate its impact by changing the data partitioning to separate heavy keys or by implementing local/pre-aggregation.
 This list is far from exhaustive. Generally, in order to reduce a bottleneck and thus backpressure, first analyse where it is happening and then find out why. The best place to start reasoning about the “why” is by checking what resources are fully utilised. Latency Tracking # Tracking latencies at the various locations they may occur is a topic of its own. In this section, we will focus on the time records wait inside Flink’s network stack — including the system’s network connections. In low throughput scenarios, these latencies are influenced directly by the output flusher via the buffer timeout parameter or indirectly by any application code latencies. When processing a record takes longer than expected or when (multiple) timers fire at the same time — and block the receiver from processing incoming records — the time inside the network stack for following records is extended dramatically. We highly recommend adding your own metrics to your Flink job for better latency tracking in your job’s components and a broader view on the cause of delays.

 single: one histogram for each operator subtask operator (default): one histogram for each combination of source task and operator subtask subtask: one histogram for each combination of source subtask and operator subtask (quadratic in the parallelism!) These metrics are collected through special “latency markers”: each source subtask will periodically emit a special record containing the timestamp of its creation. The latency markers then flow alongside normal records while not overtaking them on the wire or inside a buffer queue. However, a latency marker does not enter application logic and is overtaking records there. Latency markers therefore only measure the waiting time between the user code and not a full “end-to-end” latency. User code indirectly influences these waiting times, though!
 Since LatencyMarkers sit in network buffers just like normal records, they will also wait for the buffer to be full or flushed due to buffer timeouts. When a channel is on high load, there is no added latency by the network buffering data. However, as soon as one channel is under low load, records and latency markers will experience an expected average delay of at most buffer_timeout / 2. This delay will add to each network connection towards a subtask and should be taken into account when analysing a subtask’s latency metric.
 By looking at the exposed latency tracking metrics for each subtask, for example at the 95th percentile, you should nevertheless be able to identify subtasks which are adding substantially to the overall source-to-sink latency and continue with optimising there.
-Note Flink's latency markers assume that the clocks on all machines in the cluster are in sync. We recommend setting up an automated clock synchronisation service (like NTP) to avoid false latency results. Warning Enabling latency metrics can significantly impact the performance of the cluster (in particular for \`subtask\` granularity) due to the sheer amount of metrics being added as well as the use of histograms which are quite expensive to maintain. It is highly recommended to only use them for debugging purposes. Conclusion # In the previous sections we discussed how to monitor Flink\u0026rsquo;s network stack which primarily involves identifying backpressure: where it occurs, where it originates from, and (potentially) why it occurs. This can be executed in two ways: for simple cases and debugging sessions by using the backpressure monitor; for continuous monitoring, more in-depth analysis, and less runtime overhead by using Flink’s task and network stack metrics. Backpressure can be caused by the network layer itself but, in most cases, is caused by some subtask under high load. These two scenarios can be distinguished from one another by analysing the metrics as described above. We also provided some hints at monitoring resource usage and tracking network latencies that may add up from sources to sinks.

 What is Broadcast State? # The Broadcast State can be used to combine and jointly process two streams of events in a specific way. The events of the first stream are broadcasted to all parallel instances of an operator, which maintains them as state. The events of the other stream are not broadcasted but sent to individual instances of the same operator and processed together with the events of the broadcasted stream. The new broadcast state is a natural fit for applications that need to join a low-throughput and a high-throughput stream or need to dynamically update their processing logic. We will use a concrete example of the latter use case to explain the broadcast state and show its API in more detail in the remainder of this post.
 Dynamic Pattern Evaluation with Broadcast State # Imagine an e-commerce website that captures the interactions of all users as a stream of user actions. The company that operates the website is interested in analyzing the interactions to increase revenue, improve the user experience, and detect and prevent malicious behavior. The website implements a streaming application that detects a pattern on the stream of user events. However, the company wants to avoid modifying and redeploying the application every time the pattern changes. Instead, the application ingests a second stream of patterns and updates its active pattern when it receives a new pattern from the pattern stream. In the following, we discuss this application step-by-step and show how it leverages the broadcast state feature in Apache Flink.
 Our example application ingests two data streams. The first stream provides user actions on the website and is illustrated on the top left side of the above figure. A user interaction event consists of the type of the action (user login, user logout, add to cart, or complete payment) and the id of the user, which is encoded by color. The user action event stream in our illustration contains a logout action of User 1001 followed by a payment-complete event for User 1003, and an “add-to-cart” action of User 1002.

 Once the broadcast state is updated with a new pattern, the matching logic continues as before, i.e., user action events are partitioned by key and evaluated by the responsible task.
 How to Implement an Application with Broadcast State? # Until now, we conceptually discussed the application and explained how it uses broadcast state to evaluate dynamic patterns over event streams. Next, we’ll show how to implement the example application with Flink’s DataStream API and the broadcast state feature.
 Let’s start with the input data of the application. We have two data streams, actions, and patterns. At this point, we don’t really care where the streams come from. The streams could be ingested from Apache Kafka or Kinesis or any other system. Action and Pattern are Pojos with two fields each:
-DataStream\u0026lt;Action\u0026gt; actions = ??? DataStream\u0026lt;Pattern\u0026gt; patterns = ??? Action and Pattern are Pojos with two fields each:
+DataStream&lt;Action&gt; actions = ??? DataStream&lt;Pattern&gt; patterns = ??? Action and Pattern are Pojos with two fields each:
 Action: Long userId, String action
 Pattern: String firstAction, String secondAction
 As a first step, we key the action stream on the userId attribute.
-KeyedStream\u0026lt;Action, Long\u0026gt; actionsByUser = actions .keyBy((KeySelector\u0026lt;Action, Long\u0026gt;) action -\u0026gt; action.userId); Next, we prepare the broadcast state. Broadcast state is always represented as MapState, the most versatile state primitive that Flink provides.
-MapStateDescriptor\u0026lt;Void, Pattern\u0026gt; bcStateDescriptor = new MapStateDescriptor\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;patterns\u0026#34;, Types.VOID, Types.POJO(Pattern.class)); Since our application only evaluates and stores a single Pattern at a time, we configure the broadcast state as a MapState with key type Void and value type Pattern. The Pattern is always stored in the MapState with null as key.
-BroadcastStream\u0026lt;Pattern\u0026gt; bcedPatterns = patterns.broadcast(bcStateDescriptor); Using the MapStateDescriptor for the broadcast state, we apply the broadcast() transformation on the patterns stream and receive a BroadcastStream bcedPatterns.
-DataStream\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;Long, Pattern\u0026gt;\u0026gt; matches = actionsByUser .connect(bcedPatterns) .process(new PatternEvaluator()); After we obtained the keyed actionsByUser stream and the broadcasted bcedPatterns stream, we connect() both streams and apply a PatternEvaluator on the connected streams. PatternEvaluator is a custom function that implements the KeyedBroadcastProcessFunction interface. It applies the pattern matching logic that we discussed before and emits Tuple2\u0026lt;Long, Pattern\u0026gt; records which contain the user id and the matched pattern.

 processBroadcastElement() is called for each record of the broadcasted stream. In our PatternEvaluator function, we simply put the received Pattern record in to the broadcast state using the null key (remember, we only store a single pattern in the MapState). processElement() is called for each record of the keyed stream. It provides read-only access to the broadcast state to prevent modification that result in different broadcast states across the parallel instances of the function. The processElement() method of the PatternEvaluator retrieves the current pattern from the broadcast state and the previous action of the user from the keyed state. If both are present, it checks whether the previous and current action match with the pattern and emits a pattern match record if that is the case. Finally, it updates the keyed state to the current user action. onTimer() is called when a previously registered timer fires. Timers can be registered in the processElement method and are used to perform computations or to clean up state in the future. We did not implement this method in our example to keep the code concise. However, it could be used to remove the last action of a user when the user was not active for a certain period of time to avoid growing state due to inactive users. You might have noticed the context objects of the KeyedBroadcastProcessFunction’s processing method. The context objects give access to additional functionality such as:
 The broadcast state (read-write or read-only, depending on the method), A TimerService, which gives access to the record’s timestamp, the current watermark, and which can register timers, The current key (only available in processElement()), and A method to apply a function the keyed state of each registered key (only available in processBroadcastElement()) The KeyedBroadcastProcessFunction has full access to Flink state and time features just like any other ProcessFunction and hence can be used to implement sophisticated application logic. Broadcast state was designed to be a versatile feature that adapts to different scenarios and use cases. Although we only discussed a fairly simple and restricted application, you can use broadcast state in many ways to implement the requirements of your application.

We will briefly present the result of these optimisations and Flink’s trade-off between throughput and latency. Future blog posts in this series will elaborate more on monitoring and metrics, tuning parameters, and common anti-patterns.

 Additionally, for subtasks with more than one input, scheduling start in two ways: after *all* or after *any* input producers to have produced a record/their complete dataset. For tuning the output types and scheduling decisions in batch jobs, please have a look at [ExecutionConfig#setExecutionMode()](//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.8/api/java/org/apache/flink/api/common/ExecutionConfig.html#setExecutionMode-org.apache.flink.api.common.ExecutionMode-) - and [ExecutionMode](//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.8/api/java/org/apache/flink/api/common/ExecutionMode.html#enum.constant.detail) in particular - as well as [ExecutionConfig#setDefaultInputDependencyConstraint()](//nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.8/api/java/org/apache/flink/api/common/ExecutionConfig.html#setDefaultInputDependencyConstraint-org.apache.flink.api.common.InputDependencyConstraint-). Physical Transport # In order to understand the physical data connections, please recall that, in Flink, different tasks may share the same slot via slot sharing groups. TaskManagers may also provide more than one slot to allow multiple subtasks of the same task to be scheduled onto the same TaskManager.
 For the example pictured below, we will assume a parallelism of 4 and a deployment with two task managers offering 2 slots each. TaskManager 1 executes subtasks A.1, A.2, B.1, and B.2 and TaskManager 2 executes subtasks A.3, A.4, B.3, and B.4. In a shuffle-type connection between task A and task B, for example from a keyBy(), there are 2x4 logical connections to handle on each TaskManager, some of which are local, some remote: B.1 B.2 B.3 B.4 A.1 local remote A.2 A.3 remote local A.4 Each (remote) network connection between different tasks will get its own TCP channel in Flink’s network stack. However, if different subtasks of the same task are scheduled onto the same TaskManager, their network connections towards the same TaskManagers will be multiplexed and share a single TCP channel for reduced resource usage. In our example, this would apply to A.1 → B.3, A.1 → B.4, as well as A.2 → B.3, and A.2 → B.4 as pictured below: The results of each subtask are called ResultPartition, each split into separate ResultSubpartitions — one for each logical channel. At this point in the stack, Flink is not dealing with individual records anymore but instead with a group of serialised records assembled together into network buffers. The number of buffers available to each subtask in its own local buffer pool (one per sending and receiving side each) is limited to at most
 #channels * buffers-per-channel + floating-buffers-per-gate The total number of buffers on a single TaskManager usually does not need configuration. See the Configuring the Network Buffers documentation for details on how to do so if needed.
-Inflicting Backpressure (1) # Whenever a subtask’s sending buffer pool is exhausted — buffers reside in either a result subpartition\u0026rsquo;s buffer queue or inside the lower, Netty-backed network stack — the producer is blocked, cannot continue, and experiences backpressure. The receiver works in a similar fashion: any incoming Netty buffer in the lower network stack needs to be made available to Flink via a network buffer. If there is no network buffer available in the appropriate subtask\u0026rsquo;s buffer pool, Flink will stop reading from this channel until a buffer becomes available. This would effectively backpressure all sending subtasks on this multiplex and therefore also throttle other receiving subtasks. The following picture illustrates this for an overloaded subtask B.4 which would cause backpressure on the multiplex and also stop subtask B.3 from receiving and processing further buffers, even though it still has capacity.

The following picture illustrates this for an overloaded subtask B.4 which would cause backpressure on the multiplex and also stop subtask B.3 from receiving and processing further buffers, even though it still has capacity.
 To prevent this situation from even happening, Flink 1.5 introduced its own flow control mechanism.
 Credit-based Flow Control # Credit-based flow control makes sure that whatever is “on the wire” will have capacity at the receiver to handle. It is based on the availability of network buffers as a natural extension of the mechanisms Flink had before. Instead of only having a shared local buffer pool, each remote input channel now has its own set of exclusive buffers. Conversely, buffers in the local buffer pool are called floating buffers as they will float around and are available to every input channel.
 Receivers will announce the availability of buffers as credits to the sender (1 buffer = 1 credit). Each result subpartition will keep track of its channel credits. Buffers are only forwarded to the lower network stack if credit is available and each sent buffer reduces the credit score by one. In addition to the buffers, we also send information about the current backlog size which specifies how many buffers are waiting in this subpartition’s queue. The receiver will use this to ask for an appropriate number of floating buffers for faster backlog processing. It will try to acquire as many floating buffers as the backlog size but this may not always be possible and we may get some or no buffers at all. The receiver will make use of the retrieved buffers and will listen for further buffers becoming available to continue. Credit-based flow control will use buffers-per-channel to specify how many buffers are exclusive (mandatory) and floating-buffers-per-gate for the local buffer pool (optional3) thus achieving the same buffer limit as without flow control. The default values for these two parameters have been chosen so that the maximum (theoretical) throughput with flow control is at least as good as without flow control, given a healthy network with usual latencies. You may need to adjust these depending on your actual round-trip-time and bandwidth. 3If there are not enough buffers available, each buffer pool will get the same share of the globally available ones (± 1).
-Inflicting Backpressure (2) # As opposed to the receiver\u0026rsquo;s backpressure mechanisms without flow control, credits provide a more direct control: If a receiver cannot keep up, its available credits will eventually hit 0 and stop the sender from forwarding buffers to the lower network stack. There is backpressure on this logical channel only and there is no need to block reading from a multiplexed TCP channel. Other receivers are therefore not affected in processing available buffers.

 What do we Gain? Where is the Catch? # Since, with flow control, a channel in a multiplex cannot block another of its logical channels, the overall resource utilisation should increase. In addition, by having full control over how much data is “on the wire”, we are also able to improve checkpoint alignments: without flow control, it would take a while for the channel to fill the network stack’s internal buffers and propagate that the receiver is not reading anymore. During that time, a lot of buffers could be sitting around. Any checkpoint barrier would have to queue up behind these buffers and would thus have to wait until all of those have been processed before it can start (“Barriers never overtake records!”).
 However, the additional announce messages from the receiver may come at some additional costs, especially in setup using SSL-encrypted channels. Also, a single input channel cannot make use of all buffers in the buffer pool because exclusive buffers are not shared. It can also not start right away with sending as much data as is available so that during ramp-up (if you are producing data faster than announcing credits in return) it may take longer to send data through. While this may affect your job’s performance, it is usually better to have flow control because of all its advantages. You may want to increase the number of exclusive buffers via buffers-per-channel at the cost of using more memory. The overall memory use compared to the previous implementation, however, may still be lower because lower network stacks do not need to buffer much data any more since we can always transfer that to Flink immediately.
 There is one more thing you may notice when using credit-based flow control: since we buffer less data between the sender and receiver, you may experience backpressure earlier. This is, however, desired and you do not really get any advantage by buffering more data. If you want to buffer more but keep flow control, you could consider increasing the number of floating buffers via floating-buffers-per-gate.

 Latency vs. Throughput # Network buffers were introduced to get higher resource utilisation and higher throughput at the cost of having some records wait in buffers a little longer. Although an upper limit to this wait time can be given via the buffer timeout, you may be curious to find out more about the trade-off between these two dimensions: latency and throughput, as, obviously, you cannot get both. The following plot shows various values for the buffer timeout starting at 0 (flush with every record) to 100ms (the default) and shows the resulting throughput rates on a cluster with 100 nodes and 8 slots each running a job that has no business logic and thus only tests the network stack. For comparison, we also plot Flink 1.4 before the low-latency improvements (as described above) were added. As you can see, with Flink 1.5+, even very low buffer timeouts such as 1ms (for low-latency scenarios) provide a maximum throughput as high as 75% of the default timeout where more data is buffered before being sent over the wire.
 Conclusion # Now you know about result partitions, the different network connections and scheduling types for both batch and streaming. You also know about credit-based flow control and how the network stack works internally, in order to reason about network-related tuning parameters and about certain job behaviours. Future blog posts in this series will build upon this knowledge and go into more operational details including relevant metrics to look at, further network stack tuning, and common antipatterns to avoid.

The state time-to-live (TTL) feature was initiated in Flink 1.6.0 and enabled application state cleanup and efficient state size management in Apache Flink.
 In this post, we motivate the State TTL feature and discuss its use cases. Moreover, we show how to use and configure it. We explain how Flink internally manages state with TTL and present some exciting additions to the feature in Flink 1.8.0. The blog post concludes with an outlook on future improvements and extensions.
 The Transient Nature of State # There are two major reasons why state should be maintained only for a limited time. For example, let’s imagine a Flink application that ingests a stream of user login events and stores for each user the time of the last login to improve the experience of frequent visitors.
 Controlling the size of state. Being able to efficiently manage an ever-growing state size is a primary use case for state TTL. Oftentimes, data needs to be persisted temporarily while there is some user activity around it, e.g. web sessions. When the activity ends there is no longer interest in that data while it still occupies storage. Flink 1.8.0 introduces background cleanup of old state based on TTL that makes the eviction of no-longer-necessary data frictionless. Previously, the application developer had to take extra actions and explicitly remove useless state to free storage space. This manual clean up procedure was not only error prone but also less efficient than the new lazy method to remove state. Following our previous example of storing the time of the last login, this might not be necessary after some time because the user can be treated as “infrequent” later on.
@@ -3621,7 +3676,7 @@
 Both requirements can be addressed by a feature that periodically, yet continuously, removes the state for a key once it becomes unnecessary or unimportant and there is no requirement to keep it in storage any more.
 State TTL for continuous cleanup of application state # The 1.6.0 release of Apache Flink introduced the State TTL feature. It enabled developers of stream processing applications to configure the state of operators to expire and be cleaned up after a defined timeout (time-to-live). In Flink 1.8.0 the feature was extended, including continuous cleanup of old entries for both the RocksDB and the heap state backends (FSStateBackend and MemoryStateBackend), enabling a continuous cleanup process of old entries (according to the TTL setting).
 In Flink’s DataStream API, application state is defined by a state descriptor. State TTL is configured by passing a StateTtlConfiguration object to a state descriptor. The following Java example shows how to create a state TTL configuration and provide it to the state descriptor that holds the last login time of a user as a Long value:
-import org.apache.flink.api.common.state.StateTtlConfig; import org.apache.flink.api.common.time.Time; import org.apache.flink.api.common.state.ValueStateDescriptor; StateTtlConfig ttlConfig = StateTtlConfig .newBuilder(Time.days(7)) .setUpdateType(StateTtlConfig.UpdateType.OnCreateAndWrite) .setStateVisibility(StateTtlConfig.StateVisibility.NeverReturnExpired) .build(); ValueStateDescriptor\u0026lt;Long\u0026gt; lastUserLogin = new ValueStateDescriptor\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;lastUserLogin\u0026#34;, Long.class); lastUserLogin.enableTimeToLive(ttlConfig); Flink provides multiple options to configure the behavior of the state TTL functionality.

 When is the Time-to-Live reset? By default, the expiration time of a state entry is updated when the state is modified. Optionally, it can also be updated on read access at the cost of an additional write operation to update the timestamp.
 Can the expired state be accessed one last time? State TTL employs a lazy strategy to clean up expired state. This can lead to the situation that an application attempts to read state which is expired but hasn’t been removed yet. You can configure whether such a read request returns the expired state or not. In either case, the expired state is immediately removed afterwards. While the option of returning expired state favors data availability, not returning expired state can be required for data protection regulations.
 Which time semantics are used for the Time-to-Live timers? With Flink 1.8.0, users can only define a state TTL in terms of processing time. The support for event time is planned for future Apache Flink releases.

 Future work # Apart from including the timer-based cleanup strategy, mentioned above, the Flink community has plans to further improve the state TTL feature. The possible improvements include adding support of TTL for event time scale (only processing time is supported at the moment) and enabling State TTL for queryable state.

 Summary # Time-based state access restrictions and controlling the size of application state are common challenges in the world of stateful stream processing. Flink’s 1.8.0 release significantly improves the State TTL feature by adding support for continuous background cleanup of expired state objects. The new clean up mechanisms relieve you from manually implementing state cleanup. They are also more efficient due to their lazy nature. State TTL gives you control over the size of your application state so that you can focus on the core logic of your applications.

 For example: given a stream with Taxi Fare events tied to the local currency of the ride location, we might want to convert the fare price to a common currency for further processing. As conversion rates excel at fluctuating over time, each Taxi Fare event would need to be matched to the rate that was valid at the time the event occurred in order to produce a reliable result.
 Modelling Temporal Data with Flink # In the 1.7 release, Flink has introduced the concept of temporal tables into its streaming SQL and Table API: parameterized views on append-only tables — or, any table that only allows records to be inserted, never updated or deleted — that are interpreted as a changelog and keep data closely tied to time context, so that it can be interpreted as valid only within a specific period of time. Transforming a stream into a temporal table requires:
 Defining a primary key and a versioning field that can be used to keep track of the changes that happen over time;
 Exposing the stream as a temporal table function that maps each point in time to a static relation.
 Going back to our example use case, a temporal table is just what we need to model the conversion rate data such as to make it useful for point-in-time querying. Temporal table functions are implemented as an extension of Flink’s generic table function class and can be defined in the same straightforward way to be used with the Table API or SQL parser.

 Streaming Joins using Temporal Tables # Temporal tables reach their full potential when used in combination — erm, joined — with streaming data, for instance to power applications that must continuously whitelist against a reference dataset that changes over time for auditing or regulatory compliance. While efficient joins have long been an enduring challenge for query processors due to computational cost and resource consumption, joins over streaming data carry some additional challenges:
 The unbounded nature of streams means that inputs are continuously evaluated and intermediate join results can consume memory resources indefinitely. Flink gracefully manages its memory consumption out-of-the-box (even for heavier cases where joins require spilling to disk) and supports time-windowed joins to bound the amount of data that needs to be kept around as state; Streaming data might be out-of-order and late, so it is not possible to enforce an ordering upfront and time handling requires some thinking to avoid unnecessary outputs and retractions. In the particular case of temporal data, time-windowed joins are not enough (well, at least not without getting into some expensive tweaking): sooner or later, each reference record will fall outside of the window and be wiped from state, no longer being considered for future join results. To address this limitation, Flink has introduced support for temporal table joins to cover time-varying relations.
 Each record from the append-only table on the probe side (Taxi Fare) is joined with the version of the record from the temporal table on the build side (Conversion Rate) that most closely matches the probe side record time attribute (time) for the same value of the primary key (currency). Remember the temporal table function (Rates) we registered earlier? It can now be used to express this join as a simple SQL statement that would otherwise require a heavier statement with a subquery.
 Temporal table joins support both processing and event time semantics and effectively limit the amount of data kept in state while also allowing records on the build side to be arbitrarily old, as opposed to time-windowed joins. Probe-side records only need to be kept in state for a very short time to ensure correct semantics in presence of out-of-order records. The challenges mentioned in the beginning of this section are overcome by:
 Narrowing the scope of the join: only the time-matching version of ratesHistory is visible for a given taxiFare.time; Pruning unneeded records from state: for cases using event time, records between current time and the watermark delay are persisted for both the probe and build side. These are discarded as soon as the watermark arrives and the results are emitted — allowing the join operation to move forward in time and the build table to “refresh” its version in state. Conclusion # All this means it is now possible to express continuous stream enrichment in relational and time-varying terms using Flink without dabbling into syntactic patchwork or compromising performance. In other words: stream time-travelling minus the flux capacitor. Extending this syntax to batch processing for enriching historic data with proper (event) time semantics is also part of the Flink roadmap!

 A brief introduction to Apache Pulsar # Apache Pulsar is an open-source distributed pub-sub messaging system under the stewardship of the Apache Software Foundation. Pulsar is a multi-tenant, high-performance solution for server-to-server messaging including multiple features such as native support for multiple clusters in a Pulsar instance, with seamless geo-replication of messages across clusters, very low publish and end-to-end latency, seamless scalability to over a million topics, and guaranteed message delivery with persistent message storage provided by Apache BookKeeper among others. Let’s now discuss the primary differentiators between Pulsar and other pub-sub messaging frameworks:
 The first differentiating factor stems from the fact that although Pulsar provides a flexible pub-sub messaging system it is also backed by durable log storage — hence combining both messaging and storage under one framework. Because of that layered architecture, Pulsar provides instant failure recovery, independent scalability and balance-free cluster expansion.
 Pulsar’s architecture follows a similar pattern to other pub-sub systems as the framework is organized in topics as the main data entity, with producers sending data to, and consumers receiving data from a topic as shown in the diagram below.

 Potential Integrations # Pulsar can integrate with Apache Flink in different ways. Some potential integrations include providing support for streaming workloads with the use of Streaming Connectors and support for batch workloads with the use of Batch Source Connectors. Pulsar also comes with native support for schema that can integrate with Flink and provide structured access to the data, for example by using Flink SQL as a way of querying data in Pulsar. Finally, an alternative way of integrating the technologies could include using Pulsar as a state backend with Flink. Since Pulsar has a layered architecture (Streams and Segmented Streams, powered by Apache Bookkeeper), it becomes natural to use Pulsar as a storage layer and store Flink state.
 From an architecture point of view, we can imagine the integration between the two frameworks as one that uses Apache Pulsar for a unified view of the data layer and Apache Flink as a unified computation and data processing framework and API.
 Existing Integrations # Integration between the two frameworks is ongoing and developers can already use Pulsar with Flink in multiple ways. For example, Pulsar can be used as a streaming source and streaming sink in Flink DataStream applications. Developers can ingest data from Pulsar into a Flink job that makes computations and processes real-time data, to then send the data back to a Pulsar topic as a streaming sink. Such an example is shown below:
-// create and configure Pulsar consumer PulsarSourceBuilder\u0026lt;String\u0026gt;builder = PulsarSourceBuilder .builder(new SimpleStringSchema()) .serviceUrl(serviceUrl) .topic(inputTopic) .subscriptionName(subscription); SourceFunction\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; src = builder.build(); // ingest DataStream with Pulsar consumer DataStream\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; words = env.addSource(src); // perform computation on DataStream (here a simple WordCount) DataStream\u0026lt;WordWithCount\u0026gt; wc = words .flatMap((FlatMapFunction\u0026lt;String, WordWithCount\u0026gt;) (word, collector) -\u0026gt; { collector.collect(new WordWithCount(word, 1)); }) .returns(WordWithCount.class) .keyBy(\u0026#34;word\u0026#34;) .timeWindow(Time.seconds(5)) .reduce((ReduceFunction\u0026lt;WordWithCount\u0026gt;) (c1, c2) -\u0026gt; new WordWithCount(c1.word, c1.count + c2.count)); // emit result via Pulsar producer wc.addSink(new FlinkPulsarProducer\u0026lt;\u0026gt;( serviceUrl, outputTopic, new AuthenticationDisabled(), wordWithCount -\u0026gt; wordWithCount.toString().getBytes(UTF_8), wordWithCount -\u0026gt; wordWithCount.word) ); Another integration between the two frameworks that developers can take advantage of includes using Pulsar as both a streaming source and a streaming table sink for Flink SQL or Table API queries as shown in the example below:
-// obtain a DataStream with words DataStream\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; words = ... // register DataStream as Table \u0026#34;words\u0026#34; with two attributes (\u0026#34;word\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;ts\u0026#34;). // \u0026#34;ts\u0026#34; is an event-time timestamp. tableEnvironment.registerDataStream(\u0026#34;words\u0026#34;, words, \u0026#34;word, ts.rowtime\u0026#34;); // create a TableSink that produces to Pulsar TableSink sink = new PulsarJsonTableSink( serviceUrl, outputTopic, new AuthenticationDisabled(), ROUTING_KEY); // register Pulsar TableSink as table \u0026#34;wc\u0026#34; tableEnvironment.registerTableSink( \u0026#34;wc\u0026#34;, sink.configure( new String[]{\u0026#34;word\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;cnt\u0026#34;}, new TypeInformation[]{Types.STRING, Types.LONG})); // count words per 5 seconds and write result to table \u0026#34;wc\u0026#34; tableEnvironment.sqlUpdate( \u0026#34;INSERT INTO wc \u0026#34; + \u0026#34;SELECT word, COUNT(*) AS cnt \u0026#34; + \u0026#34;FROM words \u0026#34; + \u0026#34;GROUP BY word, TUMBLE(ts, INTERVAL \u0026#39;5\u0026#39; SECOND)\u0026#34;); Finally, Flink integrates with Pulsar for batch workloads as a batch sink where all results get pushed to Pulsar after Apache Flink has completed the computation in a static data set. Such an example is shown below:
-// obtain DataSet from arbitrary computation DataSet\u0026lt;WordWithCount\u0026gt; wc = ... // create PulsarOutputFormat instance OutputFormat pulsarOutputFormat = new PulsarOutputFormat( serviceUrl, topic, new AuthenticationDisabled(), wordWithCount -\u0026gt; wordWithCount.toString().getBytes()); // write DataSet to Pulsar wc.output(pulsarOutputFormat); Conclusion # Both Pulsar and Flink share a similar view on how the data and the computation level of an application can be “streaming-first” with batch as a special case streaming. With Pulsar’s Segmented Streams approach and Flink’s steps to unify batch and stream processing workloads under one framework, there are numerous ways of integrating the two technologies together to provide elastic data processing at massive scale.

Moreover, the documentation of built-in functions could be improved by adding more concrete examples.

-With Flink 1.8.0 we come closer to our goals of enabling fast data processing and building data-intensive applications for the Flink community in a seamless way. We do this by cleaning up and refactoring Flink under the hood to allow more efficient feature development in the future. This includes removal of the legacy runtime components that were subsumed in the major rework of Flink\u0026rsquo;s underlying distributed system architecture (FLIP-6) as well as refactorings on the Table API that prepare it for the future addition of the Blink enhancements (FLINK-11439).

 New Features and Improvements # Finalized State Schema Evolution Story: This release completes the community driven effort to provide a schema evolution story for user state managed by Flink. This has been an effort that spanned 2 releases, starting from 1.7.0 with the introduction of support for Avro state schema evolution as well as a revamped serialization compatibility abstraction.
 Flink 1.8.0 finalizes this effort by extending support for schema evolution to POJOs, upgrading all Flink built-in serializers to use the new serialization compatibility abstractions, as well as making it easier for advanced users who use custom state serializers to implement the abstractions. These different aspects for a complete out-of-the-box schema evolution story are explained in detail below:
 Support for POJO state schema evolution: The pool of data types that support state schema evolution has been expanded to include POJOs. For state types that use POJOs, you can now add or remove fields from your POJO while retaining backwards compatibility. For a full overview of the list of data types that now support schema evolution as well as their evolution specifications and limitations, please refer to the State Schema Evolution documentation page.
 Upgrade all Flink serializers to use new serialization compatibility asbtractions: Back in 1.7.0, we introduced the new serialization compatibility abstractions TypeSerializerSnapshot and TypeSerializerSchemaCompatibility. Besides providing a more expressible API to reflect schema compatibility between the data stored in savepoints and the data registered at runtime, another important aspect about the new abstraction is that it avoids the need for Flink to Java-serialize the state serializer as state metadata in savepoints.
-In 1.8.0, all of Flink\u0026rsquo;s built-in serializers have been upgraded to use the new abstractions, and therefore the serializers themselves are no longer Java-serialized into savepoints. This greatly improves interoperability of Flink savepoints, in terms of state schema evolvability. For example, one outcome was the support for POJO schema evolution, as previously mentioned above. Another outcome is that all composite data types supported by Flink (such as Either, Scala case classes, Flink Java Tuples, etc.) are generally evolve-able as well when they have a nested evolvable type, such as a POJO. For example, the MyPojo type in ValueState\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;Integer, MyPojo\u0026gt;\u0026gt; or ListState\u0026lt;Either\u0026lt;Integer, MyPojo\u0026gt;\u0026gt;, which is a POJO, is allowed to evolve its schema.

 For users who are using custom TypeSerializer implementations for their state serializer and are still using the outdated abstractions (i.e. TypeSerializerConfigSnapshot and CompatiblityResult), we highly recommend upgrading to the new abstractions to be future proof. Please refer to the Custom State Serialization documentation page for a detailed description on the new abstractions.
 Provide pre-defined snapshot implementations for common serializers: For convenience, Flink 1.8.0 comes with two predefined implementations for the TypeSerializerSnapshot that make the task of implementing these new abstractions easier for most implementations of TypeSerializers - SimpleTypeSerializerSnapshot and CompositeTypeSerializerSnapshot. This section in the documentation provides information on how to use these classes.
 Continuous cleanup of old state based on TTL (FLINK-7811): We introduced TTL (time-to-live) for Keyed state in Flink 1.6 (FLINK-9510). This feature enabled cleanup and made keyed state entries inaccessible after a defined timeout. In addition state would now also be cleaned up when writing a savepoint/checkpoint.
 Flink 1.8 introduces continuous cleanup of old entries for both the RocksDB state backend (FLINK-10471) and the heap state backend (FLINK-10473). This means that old entries (according to the TTL setting) are continuously cleaned up.
 SQL pattern detection with user-defined functions and aggregations: The support of the MATCH_RECOGNIZE clause has been extended by multiple features. The addition of user-defined functions allows for custom logic during pattern detection (FLINK-10597), while adding aggregations allows for more complex CEP definitions, such as the following (FLINK-7599).
-SELECT * FROM Ticker MATCH_RECOGNIZE ( ORDER BY rowtime MEASURES AVG(A.price) AS avgPrice ONE ROW PER MATCH AFTER MATCH SKIP TO FIRST B PATTERN (A+ B) DEFINE A AS AVG(A.price) \u0026lt; 15 ) MR; RFC-compliant CSV format (FLINK-9964): The SQL tables can now be read and written in an RFC-4180 standard compliant CSV table format. The format might also be useful for general DataStream API users.

The format might also be useful for general DataStream API users.
 New KafkaDeserializationSchema that gives direct access to ConsumerRecord (FLINK-8354): For the Flink KafkaConsumers, we introduced a new KafkaDeserializationSchema that gives direct access to the Kafka ConsumerRecord. This now allows access to all data that Kafka provides for a record, including the headers. This subsumes the KeyedSerializationSchema functionality, which is deprecated but still available for now.
 Per-shard watermarking option in FlinkKinesisConsumer (FLINK-5697): The Kinesis Consumer can now emit periodic watermarks that are derived from per-shard watermarks, for correct event time processing with subtasks that consume multiple Kinesis shards.
 New consumer for DynamoDB Streams to capture table changes (FLINK-4582): FlinkDynamoDBStreamsConsumer is a variant of the Kinesis consumer that supports retrieval of CDC-like streams from DynamoDB tables.

 FlinkKafkaConsumer will now filter restored partitions based on topic specification (FLINK-10342): Starting from Flink 1.8.0, the FlinkKafkaConsumer now always filters out restored partitions that are no longer associated with a specified topic to subscribe to in the restored execution. This behaviour did not exist in previous versions of the FlinkKafkaConsumer. If you wish to retain the previous behaviour, please use the disableFilterRestoredPartitionsWithSubscribedTopics() configuration method on the FlinkKafkaConsumer.
 Consider this example: if you had a Kafka Consumer that was consuming from topic A, you did a savepoint, then changed your Kafka consumer to instead consume from topic B, and then restarted your job from the savepoint. Before this change, your consumer would now consume from both topic A and B because it was stored in state that the consumer was consuming from topic A. With the change, your consumer would only consume from topic B after restore because it now filters the topics that are stored in state using the configured topics.
 Change in the Maven modules of Table API (FLINK-11064): Users that had a flink-table dependency before, need to update their dependencies to flink-table-planner and the correct dependency of flink-table-api-*, depending on whether Java or Scala is used: one of flink-table-api-java-bridge or flink-table-api-scala-bridge.
-Known Issues # Discarded checkpoint can cause Tasks to fail (FLINK-11662): There is a race condition that can lead to erroneous checkpoint failures. This mostly occurs when restarting from a savepoint or checkpoint takes a long time at the sources of a job. If you see random checkpointing failures that don\u0026rsquo;t seem to have a good explanation you might be affected. Please see the Jira issue for more details and a workaround for the problem.

 Why Prometheus? # Prometheus is a metrics-based monitoring system that was originally created in 2012. The system is completely open-source (under the Apache License 2) with a vibrant community behind it and it has graduated from the Cloud Native Foundation last year – a sign of maturity, stability and production-readiness. As we mentioned, the system is based on metrics and it is designed to measure the overall health, behavior and performance of a service. Prometheus features a multi-dimensional data model as well as a flexible query language. It is designed for reliability and can easily be deployed in traditional or containerized environments. Some of the important Prometheus concepts are:
 Metrics: Prometheus defines metrics as floats of information that change in time. These time series have millisecond precision.
-Labels are the key-value pairs associated with time series that support Prometheus\u0026rsquo; flexible and powerful data model – in contrast to hierarchical data structures that one might experience with traditional metrics systems.
-Scrape: Prometheus is a pull-based system and fetches (\u0026ldquo;scrapes\u0026rdquo;) metrics data from specified sources that expose HTTP endpoints with a text-based format.
-PromQL is Prometheus\u0026rsquo; query language. It can be used for both building dashboards and setting up alert rules that will trigger when specific conditions are met.

 When considering metrics and monitoring systems for your Flink jobs, there are many options. Flink offers native support for exposing data to Prometheus via the PrometheusReporter configuration. Setting up this integration is very easy.
 Prometheus is a great choice as usually Flink jobs are not running in isolation but in a greater context of microservices. For making metrics available to Prometheus from other parts of a larger system, there are two options: There exist libraries for all major languages to instrument other applications. Additionally, there is a wide variety of exporters, which are tools that expose metrics of third-party systems (like databases or Apache Kafka) as Prometheus metrics.
 Prometheus and Flink in Action # We have provided a GitHub repository that demonstrates the integration described above. To have a look, clone the repository, make sure Docker is installed and run:
 ./gradlew composeUp This builds a Flink job using the build tool Gradle and starts up a local environment based on Docker Compose running the job in a Flink job cluster (reachable at http://localhost:8081) as well as a Prometheus instance (http://localhost:9090).
 Job graph and custom metric for example job in Flink web interface. The PrometheusExampleJob has three operators: Random numbers up to 10,000 are generated, then a map counts the events and creates a histogram of the values passed through. Finally, the events are discarded without further output. The very simple code below is from the second operator. It illustrates how easy it is to add custom metrics relevant to your business logic into your Flink job.
-class FlinkMetricsExposingMapFunction extends RichMapFunction\u0026lt;Integer, Integer\u0026gt; { private transient Counter eventCounter; @Override public void open(Configuration parameters) { eventCounter = getRuntimeContext().getMetricGroup().counter(\u0026#34;events\u0026#34;); } @Override public Integer map(Integer value) { eventCounter.inc(); return value; } } Excerpt from FlinkMetricsExposingMapFunction.java demonstrating custom Flink metric. Configuring Prometheus with Flink # To start monitoring Flink with Prometheus, the following steps are necessary:
+class FlinkMetricsExposingMapFunction extends RichMapFunction&lt;Integer, Integer&gt; { private transient Counter eventCounter; @Override public void open(Configuration parameters) { eventCounter = getRuntimeContext().getMetricGroup().counter(&#34;events&#34;); } @Override public Integer map(Integer value) { eventCounter.inc(); return value; } } Excerpt from FlinkMetricsExposingMapFunction.java demonstrating custom Flink metric. Configuring Prometheus with Flink # To start monitoring Flink with Prometheus, the following steps are necessary:
 Make the PrometheusReporter jar available to the classpath of the Flink cluster (it comes with the Flink distribution):
-cp /opt/flink/opt/flink-metrics-prometheus-1.7.2.jar /opt/flink/lib Configure the reporter in Flink\u0026rsquo;s flink-conf.yaml. All job managers and task managers will expose the metrics on the configured port.
+cp /opt/flink/opt/flink-metrics-prometheus-1.7.2.jar /opt/flink/lib Configure the reporter in Flink&rsquo;s flink-conf.yaml. All job managers and task managers will expose the metrics on the configured port.
 metrics.reporters: prom metrics.reporter.prom.class: org.apache.flink.metrics.prometheus.PrometheusReporter metrics.reporter.prom.port: 9999 Prometheus needs to know where to scrape metrics. In a static scenario, you can simply configure Prometheus in prometheus.yml with the following:
-scrape_configs: - job_name: 'flink' static_configs: - targets: ['job-cluster:9999', 'taskmanager1:9999', 'taskmanager2:9999'] In more dynamic scenarios we recommend using Prometheus\u0026rsquo; service discovery support for different platforms such as Kubernetes, AWS EC2 and more.

 Both custom metrics are now available in Prometheus:
 Example metric in Prometheus web UI. More technical metrics from the Flink cluster (like checkpoint sizes or duration, Kafka offsets or resource consumption) are also available. If you are interested, you can check out the HTTP endpoints exposing all Prometheus metrics for the job managers and the two task managers on http://localhost:9249, http://localhost:9250 and http://localhost:9251, respectively.

 Example alert in Prometheus web UI. In real-world situations alerts like this one can be routed through a component called Alertmanager and be grouped into notifications to systems like email, PagerDuty or Slack.
 Go ahead and play around with the setup, and check out the Grafana instance reachable at http://localhost:3000 (credentials admin:flink) for visualizing Prometheus metrics. If there are any questions or problems, feel free to create an issue. Once finished, do not forget to tear down the setup via
 ./gradlew composeDown Conclusion # Using Prometheus together with Flink provides an easy way for effective monitoring and alerting of your Flink jobs. Both projects have exciting and vibrant communities behind them with new developments and additions scheduled for upcoming releases. We encourage you to try the two technologies together as it has immensely improved our insights into Flink jobs running in production.

 With business-critical applications running on Apache Flink, performance monitoring becomes an increasingly important part of a successful production deployment. It ensures that any degradation or downtime is immediately identified and resolved as quickly as possible.
 Monitoring goes hand-in-hand with observability, which is a prerequisite for troubleshooting and performance tuning. Nowadays, with the complexity of modern enterprise applications and the speed of delivery increasing, an engineering team must understand and have a complete overview of its applications’ status at any given point in time.
 Flink’s Metrics System # The foundation for monitoring Flink jobs is its metrics system which consists of two components; Metrics and MetricsReporters.
 Metrics # Flink comes with a comprehensive set of built-in metrics such as:
-Used JVM Heap / NonHeap / Direct Memory (per Task-/JobManager) Number of Job Restarts (per Job) Number of Records Per Second (per Operator) \u0026hellip; These metrics have different scopes and measure more general (e.g. JVM or operating system) as well as Flink-specific aspects.
+Used JVM Heap / NonHeap / Direct Memory (per Task-/JobManager) Number of Job Restarts (per Job) Number of Records Per Second (per Operator) &hellip; These metrics have different scopes and measure more general (e.g. JVM or operating system) as well as Flink-specific aspects.
 As a user, you can and should add application-specific metrics to your functions. Typically these include counters for the number of invalid records or the number of records temporarily buffered in managed state. Besides counters, Flink offers additional metrics types like gauges and histograms. For instructions on how to register your own metrics with Flink’s metrics system please check out Flink’s documentation. In this blog post, we will focus on how to get the most out of Flink’s built-in metrics.
 MetricsReporters # All metrics can be queried via Flink’s REST API. However, users can configure MetricsReporters to send the metrics to external systems. Apache Flink provides reporters to the most common monitoring tools out-of-the-box including JMX, Prometheus, Datadog, Graphite and InfluxDB. For information about how to configure a reporter check out Flink’s MetricsReporter documentation.
 In the remaining part of this blog post, we will go over some of the most important metrics to monitor your Apache Flink application.

 Throughput # Flink provides multiple metrics to measure the throughput of our application. For each operator or task (remember: a task can contain multiple chained tasks Flink counts the number of records and bytes going in and out. Out of those metrics, the rate of outgoing records per operator is often the most intuitive and easiest to reason about.
 Key Metrics
 Metric Scope Description numRecordsOutPerSecond task The number of records this operator/task sends per second. numRecordsOutPerSecond operator The number of records this operator sends per second. Example Dashboard Panels
 Mean Records Out per Second per Operator Possible Alerts
 recordsOutPerSecond = 0 (for a non-Sink operator) Note: Source operators always have zero incoming records. Sink operators always have zero outgoing records because the metrics only count Flink-internal communication. There is a JIRA ticket to change this behavior.
-Progress # For applications, that use event time semantics, it is important that watermarks progress over time. A watermark of time t tells the framework, that it should not anymore expect to receive events with a timestamp earlier than t, and in turn, to trigger all operations that were scheduled for a timestamp \u0026lt; t. For example, an event time window that ends at t = 30 will be closed and evaluated once the watermark passes 30.

For example, an event time window that ends at t = 30 will be closed and evaluated once the watermark passes 30.
 As a consequence, you should monitor the watermark at event time-sensitive operators in your application, such as process functions and windows. If the difference between the current processing time and the watermark, known as even-time skew, is unusually high, then it typically implies one of two issues. First, it could mean that your are simply processing old events, for example during catch-up after a downtime or when your job is simply not able to keep up and events are queuing up. Second, it could mean a single upstream sub-task has not sent a watermark for a long time (for example because it did not receive any events to base the watermark on), which also prevents the watermark in downstream operators to progress. This JIRA ticket provides further information and a work around for the latter.
 Key Metrics

 Metric Scope Description records-lag-max user applies to FlinkKafkaConsumer. The maximum lag in terms of the number of records for any partition in this window. An increasing value over time is your best indication that the consumer group is not keeping up with the producers. millisBehindLatest user applies to FlinkKinesisConsumer. The number of milliseconds a consumer is behind the head of the stream. For any consumer and Kinesis shard, this indicates how far it is behind the current time. Possible Alerts
-records-lag-max \u0026gt; threshold millisBehindLatest \u0026gt; threshold Monitoring Latency # Generally speaking, latency is the delay between the creation of an event and the time at which results based on this event become visible. Once the event is created it is usually stored in a persistent message queue, before it is processed by Apache Flink, which then writes the results to a database or calls a downstream system. In such a pipeline, latency can be introduced at each stage and for various reasons including the following:

In such a pipeline, latency can be introduced at each stage and for various reasons including the following:
 It might take a varying amount of time until events are persisted in the message queue. During periods of high load or during recovery, events might spend some time in the message queue until they are processed by Flink (see previous section). Some operators in a streaming topology need to buffer events for some time (e.g. in a time window) for functional reasons. Each computation in your Flink topology (framework or user code), as well as each network shuffle, takes time and adds to latency. If the application emits through a transactional sink, the sink will only commit and publish transactions upon successful checkpoints of Flink, adding latency usually up to the checkpointing interval for each record. In practice, it has proven invaluable to add timestamps to your events at multiple stages (at least at creation, persistence, ingestion by Flink, publication by Flink, possibly sampling those to save bandwidth). The differences between these timestamps can be exposed as a user-defined metric in your Flink topology to derive the latency distribution of each stage.
 In the rest of this section, we will only consider latency, which is introduced inside the Flink topology and cannot be attributed to transactional sinks or events being buffered for functional reasons (4.).
 To this end, Flink comes with a feature called Latency Tracking. When enabled, Flink will insert so-called latency markers periodically at all sources. For each sub-task, a latency distribution from each source to this operator will be reported. The granularity of these histograms can be further controlled by setting metrics.latency.granularity as desired.
 Due to the potentially high number of histograms (in particular for metrics.latency.granularity: subtask), enabling latency tracking can significantly impact the performance of the cluster. It is recommended to only enable it to locate sources of latency during debugging.

 Heap memory - as with most JVM applications - is the most volatile and important metric to watch. This is especially true when using Flink’s filesystem statebackend as it keeps all state objects on the JVM Heap. If the size of long-living objects on the Heap increases significantly, this can usually be attributed to the size of your application state (check the checkpointing metrics for an estimated size of the on-heap state). The possible reasons for growing state are very application-specific. Typically, an increasing number of keys, a large event-time skew between different input streams or simply missing state cleanup may cause growing state.
 NonHeap memory is dominated by the metaspace, the size of which is unlimited by default and holds class metadata as well as static content. There is a JIRA Ticket to limit the size to 250 megabyte by default.
 The biggest driver of Direct memory is by far the number of Flink’s network buffers, which can be configured.

 A sudden increase in the CPU load might also be attributed to high garbage collection pressure, which should be visible in the JVM memory metrics as well.
 If one or a few TaskManagers are constantly under very high load, this can slow down the whole topology due to long checkpoint alignment times and increasing event-time skew. A common reason is skew in the partition key of the data, which can be mitigated by pre-aggregating before the shuffle or keying on a more evenly distributed key.

 Conclusion # This post tries to shed some light on Flink’s metrics and monitoring system. You can utilise it as a starting point when you first think about how to successfully monitor your Flink application. I highly recommend to start monitoring your Flink application early on in the development phase. This way you will be able to improve your dashboards and alerts over time and, more importantly, observe the performance impact of the changes to your application throughout the development phase. By doing so, you can ask the right questions about the runtime behaviour of your application, and learn much more about Flink’s internals early on.
 Last but not least, this post only scratches the surface of the overall metrics and monitoring capabilities of Apache Flink. I highly recommend going over Flink’s metrics documentation for a full reference of Flink’s metrics system.

 Pure stream processing systems are very slow at batch processing workloads. No one would consider it a good idea to use a stream processor that shuffles through message queues to analyze large amounts of available data.
 Unified APIs like Apache Beam often delegate to different runtimes depending on whether the data is continuous/unbounded of fix/bounded. For example, the implementations of the batch and streaming runtime of Google Cloud Dataflow are different, to get the desired performance and resilience in each case.
 Apache Flink has a streaming API that can do bounded/unbounded use cases, but still offers a separate DataSet API and runtime stack that is faster for batch use cases.
-What is the reason for the above? Where did \u0026ldquo;batch is just a special case of streaming\u0026rdquo; go wrong?
+What is the reason for the above? Where did &ldquo;batch is just a special case of streaming&rdquo; go wrong?
 The answer is simple, nothing is wrong with that paradigm. Unifying batch and streaming in the API is one aspect. One needs to also exploit certain characteristics of the special case “bounded data” in the runtime to competitively handle batch processing use cases. After all, batch processors have been built specifically for that special case.
 Batch on top of a Streaming Runtime # We always believed that it is possible to have a runtime that is state-of-the-art for both stream processing and batch processing use cases at the same time. A runtime that is streaming-first, but can exploit just the right amount of special properties of bounded streams to be as fast for batch use cases as dedicated batch processors. This is the unique approach that Flink takes.
 Apache Flink has a network stack that supports both low-latency/high-throughput streaming data exchanges, as well as high-throughput batch shuffles. Flink has streaming runtime operators for many operations, but also specialized operators for bounded inputs, which get used when you choose the DataSet API or select the batch environment in the Table API.
 The figure illustrates a streaming join and a batch join. The batch join can read one input fully into a hash table and then probe with the other input. The stream join needs to build tables for both sides, because it needs to continuously process both inputs. For data larger than memory, the batch join can partition both data sets into subsets that fit in memory (data hits disk once) whereas the continuous nature of the stream join requires it to always keep all data in the table and repeatedly hit disk on cache misses. Because of that, Apache Flink has been actually demonstrating some pretty impressive batch processing performance since its early days. The below benchmark is a bit older, but validated our architectural approach early on.

-(Presentation by Dongwon Kim, Flink Forward Berlin 2015.) What is still missing? # To conclude the approach and make Flink\u0026rsquo;s experience on bounded data (batch) state-of-the-art, we need to add a few more enhancements. We believe that these features are key to realizing our vision:
-(1) A truly unified runtime operator stack: Currently the bounded and unbounded operators have a different network and threading model and don\u0026rsquo;t mix and match. The original reason was that batch operators followed a \u0026ldquo;pull model\u0026rdquo; (easier for batch algorithms), while streaming operators followed a \u0026ldquo;push model\u0026rdquo; (better latency/throughput characteristics). In a unified stack, continuous streaming operators are the foundation. When operating on bounded data without latency constraints, the API or the query optimizer can select from a larger set of operators. The optimizer can pick, for example, a specialized join operator that first consumes one input stream entirely before reading the second input stream.

+(1) A truly unified runtime operator stack: Currently the bounded and unbounded operators have a different network and threading model and don&rsquo;t mix and match. The original reason was that batch operators followed a &ldquo;pull model&rdquo; (easier for batch algorithms), while streaming operators followed a &ldquo;push model&rdquo; (better latency/throughput characteristics).

When operating on bounded data without latency constraints, the API or the query optimizer can select from a larger set of operators. The optimizer can pick, for example, a specialized join operator that first consumes one input stream entirely before reading the second input stream.
 (2) Exploiting bounded streams to reduce the scope of fault tolerance: When input data is bounded, it is possible to completely buffer data during shuffles (memory or disk) and replay that data after a failure. This makes recovery more fine grained and thus much more efficient.
 (3) Exploiting bounded stream operator properties for scheduling: A continuous unbounded streaming application needs (by definition) all operators running at the same time. An application on bounded data can schedule operations after another, depending on how the operators consume data (e.g., first build hash table, then probe hash table). This increases resource efficiency.
 (4) Enabling these special case optimizations for the DataStream API: Currently, only the Table API (which is unified across bounded/unbounded streams) activates these optimizations when working on bounded data.
 (5) Performance and coverage for SQL: SQL is the de-facto standard data language, and while it is also being rapidly adopted for continuous streaming use cases, there is absolutely no way past it for bounded/batch use cases. To be competitive with the best batch engines, Flink needs more coverage and performance for the SQL query execution. While the core data-plane in Flink is high performance, the speed of SQL execution ultimately depends a lot also on optimizer rules, a rich set of operators, and features like code generation.
 Enter Blink # Blink is a fork of Apache Flink, originally created inside Alibaba to improve Flink’s behavior for internal use cases. Blink adds a series of improvements and integrations (see the Readme for details), many of which fall into the category of improved bounded-data/batch processing and SQL. In fact, of the above list of features for a unified batch/streaming system, Blink implements significant steps forward in all except (4):
 Unified Stream Operators: Blink extends the Flink streaming runtime operator model to support selectively reading from different inputs, while keeping the push model for very low latency. This control over the inputs helps to now support algorithms like hybrid hash-joins on the same operator and threading model as continuous symmetric joins through RocksDB. These operators also form the basis for future features like “Side Inputs”.

 While Flink currently translates queries either into DataSet or DataStream programs (depending on the characteristics of their inputs), Blink translates queries to a data flow of the aforementioned stream operators.
 Blink adds many more runtime operators for common SQL operations like semi-joins, anti-joins, etc.
 The query planner (optimizer) is still based on Apache Calcite, but has many more optimization rules (incl. join reordering) and uses a proper cost model for planning.

 Summary # We believe that the data processing stack of the future is based on stream processing: The elegance of stream processing with its ability to model offline processing (batch), real-time data processing, and event-driven applications in the same way, while offering high performance and consistency is simply too compelling.
 Exploiting certain properties of bounded data is important for a stream processor to achieve the same performance as dedicated batch processors. While Flink always supported batch processing, the project is taking the next step in building a unified runtime and towards becoming a stream processor that is competitive with batch processing systems even on their home turf: OLAP SQL. The contribution of Alibaba’s Blink code helps the Flink community to pick up the speed on this development.

 Flink 1.7.0 - Extending the reach of Stream Processing # In Flink 1.7.0 we come closer to our goals of enabling fast data processing and building data-intensive applications for the Flink community in a seamless way. Our latest release includes some exciting new features and improvements such as support for Scala 2.12, an exactly-once S3 file sink, the integration of complex event processing with streaming SQL and more features that we explain below.
 New Features and Improvements # Scala 2.12 Support in Apache Flink (FLINK-7811): Apache Flink 1.7.0 is the first release which comes with full support for Scala 2.12. This allows users to write Flink applications with a newer Scala version and to leverage the Scala 2.12 ecosystem.
 State Evolution (FLINK-9376): In many cases, a long-running Flink application needs to evolve during its lifetime because of changing requirements. Changing the user state without losing the current application progress in the form of its state is a crucial requirement for application evolution.
-With Flink 1.7.0, the community added state evolution which allows you to flexibly adapt a long-running application\u0026rsquo;s user states schema, while maintaining compatibility with previous savepoints. With state evolution it is possible to add or remove columns to your state schema in order to change which business features will be captured by your application after it has been deployed.
-State schema evolution now works out-of-the-box when using Avro\u0026rsquo;s generated classes as user state, meaning that the schema of the state can be evolved according to Avro\u0026rsquo;s specifications. While Avro types are the only built-in type that supports schema evolution as of Flink 1.7, the community continues working to further extend support to other types in future Flink releases.

 Exactly-once S3 StreamingFileSink (FLINK-9752): The StreamingFileSink which was introduced in Flink 1.6.0 is now extended to also support writing to S3 filesystems with exactly-once processing guarantees. Using this feature allows users to build exactly-once end-to-end pipelines writing to S3.
 MATCH_RECOGNIZE Support in Streaming SQL (FLINK-6935): This is a major addition to Apache Flink 1.7.0 that provides initial support of the MATCH_RECOGNIZE standard to Flink SQL. This feature combines both complex event processing (CEP) and SQL for easy pattern matching on data streams and, thus, enabling a whole set of new use cases.
 This feature is currently in beta phase so we welcome any feedback and suggestions from the community for future iterations and improvements.
 Temporal Tables and Temporal Joins in Streaming SQL (FLINK-9712): Temporal Tables is a new concept in Apache Flink that gives a (parameterized) view on a table’s changing history and returns the content of a table at a specific point in time.
 As an example, we can use a table with historical currency exchange rates. Such a table is constantly growing/evolving as time progresses and newly updated exchange rates are added. Temporal Table is a view that can return the actual state of those exchange rates to any given point of time. With such a table it is possible to convert a stream of orders in different currencies to a common currency using the correct exchange rate.
 Temporal Joins allow for memory and computational-efficient joins of Streaming data with an ever-changing/updating table, using either processing time or event time, while being ANSI SQL compliant.
-Miscellaneous Features for Streaming SQL: Besides the major features mentioned above, Flink\u0026rsquo;s Table \u0026amp; SQL API has been extended to serve more use cases.
+Miscellaneous Features for Streaming SQL: Besides the major features mentioned above, Flink&rsquo;s Table &amp; SQL API has been extended to serve more use cases.
 The following built-in functions were added to the APIs: TO_BASE64, LOG2, LTRIM, REPEAT, REPLACE, COSH, SINH, TANH
 The SQL Client now supports the definition of views both in an environment file and within a CLI session. Furthermore, basic SQL statement auto-completion has been added to the CLI.
 The community added an Elasticsearch 6 table sink which allows to store updating results of a dynamic table.

 Removal of Flink’s Legacy Mode (FLINK-10392): Apache Flink 1.7.0 marks the release where the Flip-6 effort has been fully completed and reached feature parity with the legacy mode. Consequently, this release removes support for the legacy mode.

 Flink 1.6 - The next step in stateful stream processing # In Flink 1.6.0 we continue the groundwork we laid out in earlier versions: Enabling Flink users to seamlessly run fast data processing and build data-driven and data-intensive applications effortlessly.
-Flink\u0026rsquo;s state support is one of the key features which makes Flink so versatile and powerful when it comes to implementing all kinds of use cases. To make it even easier, the community added native support for state TTL (FLINK-9510, FLINK-9938). This feature allows to clean up state after it has expired. With Flink 1.6.0 timer state can now go out of core (FLINK-9485) by storing the relevant state in RocksDB. Last but not least, we also improved the deletion of timers (FLINK-9423) significantly.
-With Flink 1.5.0 we reworked Flink\u0026rsquo;s distributed architecture to add support for resource elasticity and different deployment scenarios, most notably a better container integration. In Flink 1.6.0 we follow up on some of the unfinished aspects of this work: All external communication, including job submissions, is now HTTP/REST based (FLINK-9280) which eases container setups considerably. Flink 1.6.0 also comes with a container entrypoint (FLINK-9488) which allows to easily bootstrap a containerized job cluster.
-Streaming SQL is one of the features with the most disruptive potential, because it makes Flink much more accessible. In Apache Flink 1.6.0 the community improved further the SQL CLI (FLINK-8863) making the executions of streaming and batch queries (FLINK-8861) against a multitude of data sources a piece of cake. In addition, the full Avro support (FLINK-9444) makes reading any kind of Avro data seamless. Last but not least, the community hardened Flink\u0026rsquo;s CEP library (FLINK-9418) that can now handle significantly larger use cases.

 What would be a distributed processing engine without its connectors to talk to the outside world? In the latest Flink release we added a new StreamingFileSink (FLINK-9750) that succeeds the BucketingSink as the standard file sink. The community also added support for ElasticSearch 6.x (FLINK-7386) and implemented multiple AvroDeserializationSchemas (FLINK-9338) to easily ingest Avro data.
-New Features and Improvements # Improving Flink\u0026rsquo;s State Support # Support for State TTL (FLINK-9510, FLINK-9938): This feature allows to specify a time-to-live (TTL) for Flink state. Once the time-to-live has been exceeded Flink will no longer give access to the respective state values. The expired data is cleaned up on access so that the operator keyed state doesn’t grow infinitely and it won\u0026rsquo;t be included in subsequent checkpoints. This feature fully complies with new data protection regulations (e.g. GDPR).

This feature fully complies with new data protection regulations (e.g. GDPR).
 Scalable Timers Based on RocksDB (FLINK-9485): Flink’s timer state can now be stored in RocksDB, allowing the technology to support significantly bigger timer state since it can go out of core/spill to disk. Previously, users were limited to the heap memory size. On top of that, snapshots of the timer state are now asynchronous, i.e., they no longer block the processing pipeline during checkpoints and can be incremental.
 Faster Timer Deletions (FLINK-9423): Improving Flink’s internal timer data structure such that the deletion complexity is reduced from O(n) to O(log n). This significantly improves Flink jobs using timers. Deleting timers is also exposed through a user-facing API now.
-Extending Flink\u0026rsquo;s Deployment Options # Job Cluster Container Entrypoint (FLINK-9488): Flink 1.6.0 provides an easy-to-use container entrypoint to bootstrap a job cluster. Combining this entrypoint with a user-code jar creates a self-contained image which automatically executes the contained Flink job when deployed. Since the image already contains the Flink job, client communication is no longer necessary. Avoiding additional communication steps with the client reduces the number of moving parts and improves operations in a container environment significantly.

Since the image already contains the Flink job, client communication is no longer necessary. Avoiding additional communication steps with the client reduces the number of moving parts and improves operations in a container environment significantly.
 Fully RESTified Job Submission (FLINK-9280): The Flink client now sends all job-relevant content via a single POST call to the server. This allows a much easier integration with cluster management frameworks and container environments, since opening custom ports is no longer necessary.
 Enhancing SQL and Table API # User-Defined Function in SQL Client CLI (FLINK-8863): The SQL Client CLI now supports the registration of user-defined functions. This considerably improves the CLI’s expressiveness, because SQL queries can be enriched with more powerful custom table, aggregate, and scalar functions.
 Support for Batch Queries in SQL Client CLI (FLINK-8861): The SQL Client CLI now supports the execution of batch queries.
 Support for INSERT INTO Statements in SQL Client CLI (FLINK-8858): By supporting SQL’s INSERT INTO statements, the SQL Client CLI can be used to submit long-running SQL queries to Flink that sink their results in external systems. The SQL Client itself can be shut down after submission without stopping the job.
 Unified Table Sinks and Formats (FLINK-8866, FLINK-8558): In the past, table sinks had to be configured programmatically and were tied to a specific format and implementation. This release reworked these aspects by decoupling formats from connectors and improving how table sinks are discovered and configured. Table sinks can now be defined in a YAML file using string-based properties without having to write a single line of code.
 New Kafka Table Sink (FLINK-9846): The Kafka table sink now uses the new unified APIs and supports both JSON and Avro formats.
-Full SQL Avro Support (FLINK-9444): Flink’s Table \u0026amp; SQL API now understands the full spectrum of Avro types including generic/specific records and logical types. The types are automatically mapped from and to Flink-equivalent types allowing to specify end-to-end ETL pipelines in SQL.
-Improved Expressiveness of SQL and Table API (FLINK-5878, FLINK-8688, FLINK-6810): Flink’s Table \u0026amp; SQL API supports left, right, and full outer joins that allow for continuous result-updating queries. SQL aggregate functions support the DISTINCT keyword. Queries such as COUNT(DISTINCT column) are supported for windowed and non-windowed aggregations. Both SQL and Table API now include more built-in functions such as MD5, SHA1, SHA2, LOG, and UNNEST for multisets.

Both SQL and Table API now include more built-in functions such as MD5, SHA1, SHA2, LOG, and UNNEST for multisets.
 More Connectors # New StreamingFileSink (FLINK-9750): The new StreamingFileSink is an exactly-once sink for writing to filesystems which capitalizes on the knowledge acquired from the previous BucketingSink. Exactly-once is supported through integration of the sink with Flink’s checkpointing mechanism. The new sink is built upon Flink’s own FileSystem abstraction and it supports local file system and HDFS, with plans for S3 support in the near future. It exposes pluggable file rolling and bucketing policies. Apart from row-wise encoding formats, the new StreamingFileSink comes with support for Parquet. Other bulk-encoding formats like ORC can be easily added using the exposed APIs.
-ElasticSearch 6.x Connector and Improved Support for Older Versions (FLINK-7386): Flink now comes with a connector for ElasticSearch 6.x, that is built on top of Elasticsearch’s new high level REST client. For older ElasticSearch versions which still use the native Java TransportClient, Flink\u0026rsquo;s Elasticsearch connectors now support up to Elasticsearch version 5.6.10. Some APIs in the RequestIndexer's public interface of the ElasticSearch connector have been deprecated. Please refer to the Javadoc / documentation for the new preferred API.

 Avro Deserialization Schemas (FLINK-9338): Flink comes now with a DeserializationSchema which allows deserializing Avro encoded messages. It also adds out-of-the-box integration with Confluent’s schema registry.
-Jepsen Based Distributed Tests Suite # The Flink community added a Jepsen based test suite (FLINK-9004) which validates the behavior of Flink’s distributed cluster components under real-world faults. It is a first step towards a higher test coverage for Flink\u0026rsquo;s fault tolerance mechanisms. The community intends to incrementally improve test coverage with it.

 Various Other Features and Improvements # Hardened CEP Library (FLINK-9418): The CEP operator’s internal NFA state is now backed by Flink state. That way it can go out of core to support much larger use cases.
 More Expressive DataStream Joins (FLINK-8478): Flink 1.6.0 adds support for interval joins in the DataStream API. With this feature it is now possible to join together events from different streams where elements from one stream lie in a specified time interval relative to elements from the other stream. Check out the documentation for more details.
 Intra-Cluster Mutual Authentication (FLINK-9312): Flink’s cluster components now enforce mutual authentication with their peers. This allows only Flink components to talk to each other, making it impossible for malicious actors to impersonate Flink components in order to eavesdrop on the cluster communication.

 Flink 1.5.0 is the sixth major release in the 1.x.y series. As usual, it is API-compatible with previous 1.x.y releases for APIs annotated with the @Public annotation.
 We encourage everyone to download the release and check out the documentation. Feedback through the Flink mailing lists or JIRA is, as always, very much appreciated!
 You can find the binaries on the updated Downloads page on the Flink project site.
 Flink 1.5 - Streaming Evolved # We believe that the field of stream processing, and Apache Flink with it, is taking another major leap at the moment. Stream processing is not just faster analytics and a more principled way of building fast continuous data pipelines. Stream processing is becoming a paradigm to build data-driven and data-intensive applications - it brings together data processing logic and application/business logic.
 To help users realize the potential of this change, we spent a lot of effort in this release to rework some fundamental pieces of Flink. We want Flink to feel natural to users who do data engineering / data processing, as well as users who build data/event-driven applications (and of course those who combine both aspects inside their applications). This is an ongoing journey, but here are the first steps on this way:
-We have redesigned and reimplemented large parts of Flink\u0026rsquo;s process model. This effort has been tracked under the name FLIP-6. While not all is completed yet, the changes in Flink 1.5 enable more natural Kubernetes deployments and switch to HTTP/REST for all external communication (to naturally interact with service proxies). Simultaneously, Flink 1.5 simplifies deployments on common cluster managers (YARN, Mesos) and features dynamic resource allocation.
-Streaming broadcast state (FLINK-4940) connects a broadcasted stream (e.g., context data, machine learning models, rules/patterns, triggers, \u0026hellip;) with other streams that may maintain (large) keyed state, such as feature vectors, state machines, etc. Prior to Flink 1.5, such use cases could not be easily built.

 To improve support for real-time applications with tight latency constraints, we made major improvements to Flink’s network stack (FLINK-7315). Flink 1.5 achieves even lower latencies while maintaining a high throughput. In addition, we improved checkpoint stability under backpressure.
 Streaming SQL is more and more recognized as a simple and powerful way to perform streaming analytics, build data pipelines, do feature engineering, or incrementally keep applications updated on changing data. We added a SQL CLI for streaming SQL queries (FLIP-24) to make this feature easier to get started with.
 New Features and Improvements # Rewrite of Flink’s Deployment and Process Model # The rewrite of Flink’s deployment and process model (internally known as FLIP-6) has been in the works for more than a year and was a substantial effort from the Flink community. Many contributors from several organizations, such as data Artisans, Alibaba, and Dell EMC, collaborated on the design and implementation of this feature, which has been the most significant improvement of a Flink core component since the project’s inception.

 Improving the checkpointing and recovery efficiency is an ongoing effort in the Flink community. Prominent features of previous releases were asynchronous and incremental checkpointing. In this release, we improved the efficiency of failure recovery.
 Task-local state recovery leverages the fact that a job typically fails due to a single crashed operator, TaskManager, or machine. When writing the state of operators to the remote storage, Flink can now also keep a copy on the local disk of each machine. In case of failover, the scheduler tries to reschedule tasks to their previous machine and load the state from the local disk instead of the remote storage, resulting in faster recovery.
 Extending Join Support for SQL and Table API # With the 1.5.0 release, Flink adds support for windowed outer equi-joins. Queries like the one shown below allow for joining of tables on bounded time ranges in both event-time and processing-time.
-SELECT d.rideId, d.departureTime, a.arrivalTime FROM Departures d LEFT OUTER JOIN Arrivals a ON d.rideId = a.rideId AND a.arrivalTime BETWEEN d.deptureTime AND d.departureTime + \u0026#39;2\u0026#39; HOURS For cases where two streaming tables should not be joined within a bounded time interval, Flink SQL also now supports non-windowed inner joins. This enables full-history matching, which is common in many standard SQL statements.

This enables full-history matching, which is common in many standard SQL statements.
 SELECT u.name, u.address, o.productId, o.amount FROM Users u JOIN Orders o ON u.userId = o.userId SQL CLI Client # A few months ago, the community started an effort to add a service to execute streaming and batch SQL queries (FLIP-24). The new SQL CLI client is the first step of this effort and provides a SQL shell to run exploratory queries on data streams. The animation below shows a preview of this features.
 Various Other Features and Improvements # OpenStack provides software for creating public and private clouds on pools of resources. Flink now supports OpenStack’s S3-like file system, Swift, for checkpoint and savepoint storage. Swift can be used without Hadoop dependencies. Reading and writing JSON messages from and to connectors has been improved. It’s now possible to parse a standard JSON schema in order to configure serializers and deserializers. The SQL CLI Client is able to read JSON records from Kafka. Applications can be rescaled without manually triggering a savepoint. Under the hood, Flink will still take a savepoint, stop the application, and rescale it to the new parallelism. Improved metrics for watermarks and latency. Flink now reports the minimum watermark in all operators, including sources. Moreover, the latency metrics were reworked for better integration with common metrics systems. The FileInputFormat (and many derived input formats) now supports reading files from multiple paths. The BucketingSink supports the specification of custom extensions for multiple parts. The CassandraOutputFormat can be used to emit Row objects. The Kinesis consumer allows for more customization.

 Apache Flink 1.4.0, released in December 2017, introduced a significant milestone for stream processing with Flink: a new feature called TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction (relevant Jira here) that extracts the common logic of the two-phase commit protocol and makes it possible to build end-to-end exactly-once applications with Flink and a selection of data sources and sinks, including Apache Kafka versions 0.11 and beyond. It provides a layer of abstraction and requires a user to implement only a handful of methods to achieve end-to-end exactly-once semantics.
-If that\u0026rsquo;s all you need to hear, let us point you to the relevant place in the Flink documentation, where you can read about how to put TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction to use.
-But if you\u0026rsquo;d like to learn more, in this post, we\u0026rsquo;ll share an in-depth overview of the new feature and what is happening behind the scenes in Flink.
-Throughout the rest of this post, we\u0026rsquo;ll:
-Describe the role of Flink\u0026rsquo;s checkpoints for guaranteeing exactly-once results within a Flink application. Show how Flink interacts with data sources and data sinks via the two-phase commit protocol to deliver end-to-end exactly-once guarantees. Walk through a simple example on how to use TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction to implement an exactly-once file sink. Exactly-once Semantics Within an Apache Flink Application # When we say \u0026ldquo;exactly-once semantics\u0026rdquo;, what we mean is that each incoming event affects the final results exactly once. Even in case of a machine or software failure, there\u0026rsquo;s no duplicate data and no data that goes unprocessed.
-Flink has long provided exactly-once semantics within a Flink application. Over the past few years, we\u0026rsquo;ve written in depth about Flink\u0026rsquo;s checkpointing, which is at the core of Flink\u0026rsquo;s ability to provide exactly-once semantics. The Flink documentation also provides a thorough overview of the feature.

+Flink has long provided exactly-once semantics within a Flink application. Over the past few years, we&rsquo;ve written in depth about Flink&rsquo;s checkpointing, which is at the core of Flink&rsquo;s ability to provide exactly-once semantics. The Flink documentation also provides a thorough overview of the feature.
+Before we continue, here&rsquo;s a quick summary of the checkpointing algorithm because understanding checkpoints is necessary for understanding this broader topic.
 A checkpoint in Flink is a consistent snapshot of:
 The current state of an application The position in an input stream Flink generates checkpoints on a regular, configurable interval and then writes the checkpoint to a persistent storage system, such as S3 or HDFS. Writing the checkpoint data to the persistent storage happens asynchronously, which means that a Flink application continues to process data during the checkpointing process.
 In the event of a machine or software failure and upon restart, a Flink application resumes processing from the most recent successfully-completed checkpoint; Flink restores application state and rolls back to the correct position in the input stream from a checkpoint before processing starts again. This means that Flink computes results as though the failure never occurred.
 Before Flink 1.4.0, exactly-once semantics were limited to the scope of a Flink application only and did not extend to most of the external systems to which Flink sends data after processing.
 But Flink applications operate in conjunction with a wide range of data sinks, and developers should be able to maintain exactly-once semantics beyond the context of one component.
-To provide end-to-end exactly-once semantics\u0026ndash;that is, semantics that also apply to the external systems that Flink writes to in addition to the state of the Flink application\u0026ndash;these external systems must provide a means to commit or roll back writes that coordinate with Flink\u0026rsquo;s checkpoints.
-One common approach for coordinating commits and rollbacks in a distributed system is the two-phase commit protocol. In the next section, we\u0026rsquo;ll go behind the scenes and discuss how Flink\u0026rsquo;s TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction utilizes the two-phase commit protocol to provide end-to-end exactly-once semantics.
-End-to-end Exactly Once Applications with Apache Flink # We\u0026rsquo;ll walk through the two-phase commit protocol and how it enables end-to-end exactly-once semantics in a sample Flink application that reads from and writes to Kafka. Kafka is a popular messaging system to use along with Flink, and Kafka recently added support for transactions with its 0.11 release. This means that Flink now has the necessary mechanism to provide end-to-end exactly-once semantics in applications when receiving data from and writing data to Kafka.
-Flink\u0026rsquo;s support for end-to-end exactly-once semantics is not limited to Kafka and you can use it with any source / sink that provides the necessary coordination mechanism. For example, Pravega, an open-source streaming storage system from Dell/EMC, also supports end-to-end exactly-once semantics with Flink via the TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction.
-In the sample Flink application that we\u0026rsquo;ll discuss today, we have:

For example, Pravega, an open-source streaming storage system from Dell/EMC, also supports end-to-end exactly-once semantics with Flink via the TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction.
+In the sample Flink application that we&rsquo;ll discuss today, we have:
 A data source that reads from Kafka (in Flink, a KafkaConsumer) A windowed aggregation A data sink that writes data back to Kafka (in Flink, a KafkaProducer) For the data sink to provide exactly-once guarantees, it must write all data to Kafka within the scope of a transaction. A commit bundles all writes between two checkpoints.
 This ensures that writes are rolled back in case of a failure.
-However, in a distributed system with multiple, concurrently-running sink tasks, a simple commit or rollback is not sufficient, because all of the components must \u0026ldquo;agree\u0026rdquo; together on committing or rolling back to ensure a consistent result. Flink uses the two-phase commit protocol and its pre-commit phase to address this challenge.
-The starting of a checkpoint represents the \u0026ldquo;pre-commit\u0026rdquo; phase of our two-phase commit protocol. When a checkpoint starts, the Flink JobManager injects a checkpoint barrier (which separates the records in the data stream into the set that goes into the current checkpoint vs. the set that goes into the next checkpoint) into the data stream.
-The barrier is passed from operator to operator. For every operator, it triggers the operator\u0026rsquo;s state backend to take a snapshot of its state.

+The barrier is passed from operator to operator. For every operator, it triggers the operator&rsquo;s state backend to take a snapshot of its state.
 The data source stores its Kafka offsets, and after completing this, it passes the checkpoint barrier to the next operator.
-This approach works if an operator has internal state only. Internal state is everything that is stored and managed by Flink\u0026rsquo;s state backends - for example, the windowed sums in the second operator. When a process has only internal state, there is no need to perform any additional action during pre-commit aside from updating the data in the state backends before it is checkpointed. Flink takes care of correctly committing those writes in case of checkpoint success or aborting them in case of failure.

Flink takes care of correctly committing those writes in case of checkpoint success or aborting them in case of failure.
 However, when a process has external state, this state must be handled a bit differently. External state usually comes in the form of writes to an external system such as Kafka. In that case, to provide exactly-once guarantees, the external system must provide support for transactions that integrates with a two-phase commit protocol.
-We know that the data sink in our example has such external state because it\u0026rsquo;s writing data to Kafka. In this case, in the pre-commit phase, the data sink must pre-commit its external transaction in addition to writing its state to the state backend.
+We know that the data sink in our example has such external state because it&rsquo;s writing data to Kafka. In this case, in the pre-commit phase, the data sink must pre-commit its external transaction in addition to writing its state to the state backend.
 The pre-commit phase finishes when the checkpoint barrier passes through all of the operators and the triggered snapshot callbacks complete. At this point the checkpoint completed successfully and consists of the state of the entire application, including pre-committed external state. In case of a failure, we would re-initialize the application from this checkpoint.
-The next step is to notify all operators that the checkpoint has succeeded. This is the commit phase of the two-phase commit protocol and the JobManager issues checkpoint-completed callbacks for every operator in the application. The data source and window operator have no external state, and so in the commit phase, these operators don\u0026rsquo;t have to take any action. The data sink does have external state, though, and commits the transaction with the external writes.
-So let\u0026rsquo;s put all of these different pieces together:
-Once all of the operators complete their pre-commit, they issue a commit. If at least one pre-commit fails, all others are aborted, and we roll back to the previous successfully-completed checkpoint. After a successful pre-commit, the commit must be guaranteed to eventually succeed \u0026ndash; both our operators and our external system need to make this guarantee. If a commit fails (for example, due to an intermittent network issue), the entire Flink application fails, restarts according to the user\u0026rsquo;s restart strategy, and there is another commit attempt. This process is critical because if the commit does not eventually succeed, data loss occurs. Therefore, we can be sure that all operators agree on the final outcome of the checkpoint: all operators agree that the data is either committed or that the commit is aborted and rolled back.
-Implementing the Two-Phase Commit Operator in Flink # All the logic required to put a two-phase commit protocol together can be a little bit complicated and that\u0026rsquo;s why Flink extracts the common logic of the two-phase commit protocol into the abstract TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction class. Let\u0026rsquo;s discuss how to extend a TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction on a simple file-based example. We need to implement only four methods and present their implementations for an exactly-once file sink:
-beginTransaction - to begin the transaction, we create a temporary file in a temporary directory on our destination file system. Subsequently, we can write data to this file as we process it. preCommit - on pre-commit, we flush the file, close it, and never write to it again. We\u0026rsquo;ll also start a new transaction for any subsequent writes that belong to the next checkpoint. commit - on commit, we atomically move the pre-committed file to the actual destination directory. Please note that this increases the latency in the visibility of the output data. abort - on abort, we delete the temporary file. As we know, if there\u0026rsquo;s any failure, Flink restores the state of the application to the latest successful checkpoint. One potential catch is in a rare case when the failure occurs after a successful pre-commit but before notification of that fact (a commit) reaches our operator. In that case, Flink restores our operator to the state that has already been pre-committed but not yet committed.

 We must save enough information about pre-committed transactions in checkpointed state to be able to either abort or commit transactions after a restart. In our example, this would be the path to the temporary file and target directory.
-The TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction takes this scenario into account, and it always issues a preemptive commit when restoring state from a checkpoint. It is our responsibility to implement a commit in an idempotent way. Generally, this shouldn\u0026rsquo;t be an issue. In our example, we can recognize such a situation: the temporary file is not in the temporary directory, but has already been moved to the target directory.

In our example, we can recognize such a situation: the temporary file is not in the temporary directory, but has already been moved to the target directory.
 There are a handful of other edge cases that TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction takes into account, too. Learn more in the Flink documentation.
-Wrapping Up # If you\u0026rsquo;ve made it this far, thanks for staying with us through a detailed post. Here are some key points that we covered:
-Flink\u0026rsquo;s checkpointing system serves as Flink\u0026rsquo;s basis for supporting a two-phase commit protocol and providing end-to-end exactly-once semantics. An advantage of this approach is that Flink does not materialize data in transit the way that some other systems do\u0026ndash;there\u0026rsquo;s no need to write every stage of the computation to disk as is the case is most batch processing. Flink\u0026rsquo;s new TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction extracts the common logic of the two-phase commit protocol and makes it possible to build end-to-end exactly-once applications with Flink and external systems that support transactions Starting with Flink 1.4.0, both the Pravega and Kafka 0.11 producers provide exactly-once semantics; Kafka introduced transactions for the first time in Kafka 0.11, which is what made the Kafka exactly-once producer possible in Flink. The Kafka 0.11 producer is implemented on top of the TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction, and it offers very low overhead compared to the at-least-once Kafka producer. We\u0026rsquo;re very excited about what this new feature enables, and we look forward to being able to support additional producers with the TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction in the future.

However, what is state in a stream processing application? I defined state and stateful stream processing in a previous blog post, and in case you need a refresher, state is defined as memory in an application&rsquo;s operators that stores information about previously-seen events that you can use to influence the processing of future events.
 State is a fundamental, enabling concept in stream processing required for a majority of complex use cases. Some examples highlighted in the Flink documentation:
-When an application searches for certain event patterns, the state stores the sequence of events encountered so far. When aggregating events per minute, the state holds the pending aggregates. When training a machine learning model over a stream of data points, the state holds the current version of the model parameters. However, stateful stream processing is only useful in production environments if the state is fault tolerant. \u0026ldquo;Fault tolerance\u0026rdquo; means that even if there\u0026rsquo;s a software or machine failure, the computed end-result is accurate, with no data loss or double-counting of events.
-Flink\u0026rsquo;s fault tolerance has always been a powerful and popular feature, minimizing the impact of software or machine failure on your business and making it possible to guarantee exactly-once results from a Flink application.
-Core to this is checkpointing, which is the mechanism Flink uses to make application state fault tolerant. A checkpoint in Flink is a global, asynchronous snapshot of application state that\u0026rsquo;s taken on a regular interval and sent to durable storage (usually, a distributed file system). In the event of a failure, Flink restarts an application using the most recently completed checkpoint as a starting point. Some Apache Flink users run applications with gigabytes or even terabytes of application state. These users reported that with such large state, creating a checkpoint was often a slow and resource intensive operation, which is why in Flink 1.3 we introduced \u0026lsquo;incremental checkpointing.\u0026rsquo;
-Before incremental checkpointing, every single Flink checkpoint consisted of the full state of an application. We created the incremental checkpointing feature after we noticed that writing the full state for every checkpoint was often unnecessary, as the state changes from one checkpoint to the next were rarely that large. Incremental checkpointing instead maintains the differences (or \u0026lsquo;delta\u0026rsquo;) between each checkpoint and stores only the differences between the last checkpoint and the current state.
-Incremental checkpoints can provide a significant performance improvement for jobs with a very large state. Early testing of the feature by a production user with terabytes of state shows a drop in checkpoint time from more than 3 minutes down to 30 seconds after implementing incremental checkpoints. This is because the checkpoint doesn\u0026rsquo;t need to transfer the full state to durable storage on each checkpoint.
-How to Start # Currently, you can only use incremental checkpointing with a RocksDB state back-end, and Flink uses RocksDB\u0026rsquo;s internal backup mechanism to consolidate checkpoint data over time. As a result, the incremental checkpoint history in Flink does not grow indefinitely, and Flink eventually consumes and prunes old checkpoints automatically.

As a result, the incremental checkpoint history in Flink does not grow indefinitely, and Flink eventually consumes and prunes old checkpoints automatically.
 To enable incremental checkpointing in your application, I recommend you read the the Apache Flink documentation on checkpointing for full details, but in summary, you enable checkpointing as normal, but enable incremental checkpointing in the constructor by setting the second parameter to true.
 Java Example # StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); env.setStateBackend(new RocksDBStateBackend(filebackend, true)); Scala Example # val env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment() env.setStateBackend(new RocksDBStateBackend(filebackend, true)) By default, Flink retains 1 completed checkpoint, so if you need a higher number, you can configure it with the following flag:
-state.checkpoints.num-retained How it Works # Flink\u0026rsquo;s incremental checkpointing uses RocksDB checkpoints as a foundation. RocksDB is a key-value store based on \u0026lsquo;log-structured-merge\u0026rsquo; (LSM) trees that collects all changes in a mutable (changeable) in-memory buffer called a \u0026lsquo;memtable\u0026rsquo;. Any updates to the same key in the memtable replace previous values, and once the memtable is full, RocksDB writes it to disk with all entries sorted by their key and with light compression applied. Once RocksDB writes the memtable to disk it is immutable (unchangeable) and is now called a \u0026lsquo;sorted-string-table\u0026rsquo; (sstable).
-A \u0026lsquo;compaction\u0026rsquo; background task merges sstables to consolidate potential duplicates for each key, and over time RocksDB deletes the original sstables, with the merged sstable containing all information from across all the other sstables.

+A &lsquo;compaction&rsquo; background task merges sstables to consolidate potential duplicates for each key, and over time RocksDB deletes the original sstables, with the merged sstable containing all information from across all the other sstables.
 On top of this, Flink tracks which sstable files RocksDB has created and deleted since the previous checkpoint, and as the sstables are immutable, Flink uses this to figure out the state changes. To do this, Flink triggers a flush in RocksDB, forcing all memtables into sstables on disk, and hard-linked in a local temporary directory. This process is synchronous to the processing pipeline, and Flink performs all further steps asynchronously and does not block processing.
-Then Flink copies all new sstables to stable storage (e.g., HDFS, S3) to reference in the new checkpoint. Flink doesn\u0026rsquo;t copy all sstables that already existed in the previous checkpoint to stable storage but re-reference them. Any new checkpoints will no longer reference deleted files as deleted sstables in RocksDB are always the result of compaction, and it eventually replaces old tables with an sstable that is the result of a merge. This how in Flink\u0026rsquo;s incremental checkpoints can prune the checkpoint history.

This how in Flink&rsquo;s incremental checkpoints can prune the checkpoint history.
 For tracking changes between checkpoints, the uploading of consolidated tables is redundant work. Flink performs the process incrementally, and typically adds only a small overhead, so we consider this worthwhile because it allows Flink to keep a shorter history of checkpoints to consider in a recovery.
 An Example # Example setup
 Take an example with a subtask of one operator that has a keyed state, and the number of retained checkpoints set at 2. The columns in the figure above show the state of the local RocksDB instance for each checkpoint, the files it references, and the counts in the shared state registry after the checkpoint completes.
-For checkpoint \u0026lsquo;CP 1\u0026rsquo;, the local RocksDB directory contains two sstable files, it considers these new and uploads them to stable storage using directory names that match the checkpoint name. When the checkpoint completes, Flink creates the two entries in the shared state registry and sets their counts to \u0026lsquo;1\u0026rsquo;. The key in the shared state registry is a composite of an operator, subtask, and the original sstable file name. The registry also keeps a mapping from the key to the file path in stable storage.
-For checkpoint \u0026lsquo;CP 2\u0026rsquo;, RocksDB has created two new sstable files, and the two older ones still exist. For checkpoint \u0026lsquo;CP 2\u0026rsquo;, Flink adds the two new files to stable storage and can reference the previous two files. When the checkpoint completes, Flink increases the counts for all referenced files by 1.
-For checkpoint \u0026lsquo;CP 3\u0026rsquo;, RocksDB\u0026rsquo;s compaction has merged sstable-(1), sstable-(2), and sstable-(3) into sstable-(1,2,3) and deleted the original files. This merged file contains the same information as the source files, with all duplicate entries eliminated. In addition to this merged file, sstable-(4) still exists and there is now a new sstable-(5) file. Flink adds the new sstable-(1,2,3) and sstable-(5) files to stable storage, sstable-(4) is re-referenced from checkpoint \u0026lsquo;CP 2\u0026rsquo; and increases the counts for referenced files by 1. The older \u0026lsquo;CP 1\u0026rsquo; checkpoint is now deleted as the number of retained checkpoints (2) has been reached. As part of this deletion, Flink decreases the counts for all files referenced \u0026lsquo;CP 1\u0026rsquo;, (sstable-(1) and sstable-(2)), by 1.
-For checkpoint \u0026lsquo;CP-4\u0026rsquo;, RocksDB has merged sstable-(4), sstable-(5), and a new sstable-(6) into sstable-(4,5,6). Flink adds this new table to stable storage and references it together with sstable-(1,2,3), it increases the counts for sstable-(1,2,3) and sstable-(4,5,6) by 1 and then deletes \u0026lsquo;CP-2\u0026rsquo; as the number of retained checkpoints has been reached. As the counts for sstable-(1), sstable-(2), and sstable-(3) have now dropped to 0, and Flink deletes them from stable storage.
-Race Conditions and Concurrent Checkpoints # As Flink can execute multiple checkpoints in parallel, sometimes new checkpoints start before confirming previous checkpoints as completed. Because of this, you should consider which the previous checkpoint to use as a basis for a new incremental checkpoint. Flink only references state from a checkpoint confirmed by the checkpoint coordinator so that it doesn\u0026rsquo;t unintentionally reference a deleted shared file.
-Restoring Checkpoints and Performance Considerations # If you enable incremental checkpointing, there are no further configuration steps needed to recover your state in case of failure. If a failure occurs, Flink\u0026rsquo;s JobManager tells all tasks to restore from the last completed checkpoint, be it a full or incremental checkpoint. Each TaskManager then downloads their share of the state from the checkpoint on the distributed file system.
+For checkpoint &lsquo;CP 1&rsquo;, the local RocksDB directory contains two sstable files, it considers these new and uploads them to stable storage using directory names that match the checkpoint name. When the checkpoint completes, Flink creates the two entries in the shared state registry and sets their counts to &lsquo;1&rsquo;. The key in the shared state registry is a composite of an operator, subtask, and the original sstable file name. The registry also keeps a mapping from the key to the file path in stable storage.
+For checkpoint &lsquo;CP 2&rsquo;, RocksDB has created two new sstable files, and the two older ones still exist. For checkpoint &lsquo;CP 2&rsquo;, Flink adds the two new files to stable storage and can reference the previous two files. When the checkpoint completes, Flink increases the counts for all referenced files by 1.
+For checkpoint &lsquo;CP 3&rsquo;, RocksDB&rsquo;s compaction has merged sstable-(1), sstable-(2), and sstable-(3) into sstable-(1,2,3) and deleted the original files. This merged file contains the same information as the source files, with all duplicate entries eliminated. In addition to this merged file, sstable-(4) still exists and there is now a new sstable-(5) file. Flink adds the new sstable-(1,2,3) and sstable-(5) files to stable storage, sstable-(4) is re-referenced from checkpoint &lsquo;CP 2&rsquo; and increases the counts for referenced files by 1. The older &lsquo;CP 1&rsquo; checkpoint is now deleted as the number of retained checkpoints (2) has been reached. As part of this deletion, Flink decreases the counts for all files referenced &lsquo;CP 1&rsquo;, (sstable-(1) and sstable-(2)), by 1.
+For checkpoint &lsquo;CP-4&rsquo;, RocksDB has merged sstable-(4), sstable-(5), and a new sstable-(6) into sstable-(4,5,6). Flink adds this new table to stable storage and references it together with sstable-(1,2,3), it increases the counts for sstable-(1,2,3) and sstable-(4,5,6) by 1 and then deletes &lsquo;CP-2&rsquo; as the number of retained checkpoints has been reached. As the counts for sstable-(1), sstable-(2), and sstable-(3) have now dropped to 0, and Flink deletes them from stable storage.
+Race Conditions and Concurrent Checkpoints # As Flink can execute multiple checkpoints in parallel, sometimes new checkpoints start before confirming previous checkpoints as completed. Because of this, you should consider which the previous checkpoint to use as a basis for a new incremental checkpoint. Flink only references state from a checkpoint confirmed by the checkpoint coordinator so that it doesn&rsquo;t unintentionally reference a deleted shared file.
+Restoring Checkpoints and Performance Considerations # If you enable incremental checkpointing, there are no further configuration steps needed to recover your state in case of failure. If a failure occurs, Flink&rsquo;s JobManager tells all tasks to restore from the last completed checkpoint, be it a full or incremental checkpoint. Each TaskManager then downloads their share of the state from the checkpoint on the distributed file system.
 Though the feature can lead to a substantial improvement in checkpoint time for users with a large state, there are trade-offs to consider with incremental checkpointing. Overall, the process reduces the checkpointing time during normal operations but can lead to a longer recovery time depending on the size of your state. If the cluster failure is particularly severe and the Flink TaskManagers have to read from multiple checkpoints, recovery can be a slower operation than when using non-incremental checkpointing. You can also no longer delete old checkpoints as newer checkpoints need them, and the history of differences between checkpoints can grow indefinitely over time. You need to plan for larger distributed storage to maintain the checkpoints and the network overhead to read from it.
 There are some strategies for improving the convenience/performance trade-off, and I recommend you read the Flink documentation for more details.

 The ability to build end-to-end exactly-once applications with Flink and popular data sources and sinks such as Apache Kafka. A more developer-friendly dependency structure as well as Hadoop-free Flink for Flink users who do not have Hadoop dependencies. Support for JOIN and for new sources and sinks in table API and SQL, expanding the range of logic that can be expressed with these APIs. A summary of some of the features in the release is available below.
 For more background on the Flink 1.4.0 release and the work planned for the Flink 1.5.0 release, please refer to this blog post on the Apache Flink blog.
 New Features and Improvements # End-to-end Exactly Once Applications with Apache Flink and Apache Kafka and TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction # Flink 1.4 includes a first version of an exactly-once producer for Apache Kafka 0.11. This producer enables developers who build Flink applications with Kafka as a data source and sink to compute exactly-once results not just within the Flink program, but truly “end-to-end” in the application.
-The common pattern used for exactly-once applications in Kafka and in other sinks\u0026ndash;the two-phase commit algorithm\u0026ndash;has been extracted in Flink 1.4.0 into a common class, the TwoPhaseCommitSinkFunction (FLINK-7210). This will make it easier for users to create their own exactly-once data sinks in the future.

This will make it easier for users to create their own exactly-once data sinks in the future.
 Table API and Streaming SQL Enhancements # Flink SQL now supports windowed joins based on processing time and event time (FLINK-5725). Users will be able to execute a join between 2 streaming tables and compute windowed results according to these 2 different concepts of time. The syntax and semantics in Flink are the same as standard SQL with JOIN and with Flink’s streaming SQL more broadly.
 Flink SQL also now supports “INSERT INTO SELECT” queries, which makes it possible to write results from SQL directly into a data sink (an external system that receives data from a Flink application). This improves operability and ease-of-use of Flink SQL.
 The Table API now supports aggregations on streaming tables; previously, the only supported operations on streaming tables were projection, selection, and union (FLINK-4557). This feature was initially discussed in Flink Improvement Proposal 11: FLIP-11.
 The release also adds support for new table API and SQL sources and sinks, including a Kafka 0.11 source and JDBC sink.
 Lastly, Flink SQL now uses Apache Calcite 1.14, which was just released in October 2017 (FLINK-7051).
 A Significantly-Improved Dependency Structure and Reversed Class Loading # Flink 1.4.0 shades a number of dependences and subtle runtime conflicts, including:
-ASM Guava Jackson Netty Apache Zookeeper These changes improve Flink’s overall stability and removes friction when embedding Flink or calling Flink \u0026ldquo;library style\u0026rdquo;.
+ASM Guava Jackson Netty Apache Zookeeper These changes improve Flink’s overall stability and removes friction when embedding Flink or calling Flink &ldquo;library style&rdquo;.

 FLINK-7442 FLINK-6529 Hadoop-free Flink # Apache Flink users without any Apache Hadoop dependencies can now run Flink without Hadoop. Flink programs that do not rely on Hadoop components can now be much smaller, a benefit particularly in a container-based setup resulting in less network traffic and better performance.

 Release Notes - Please Read # Some of these changes will require updating the configuration or Maven dependencies for existing programs. Please read below to see if you might be affected.
 Changes to dynamic class loading of user code # As mentioned above, we changed the way Flink loads user code from the previous default of parent-first class loading (the default for Java) to child-first classloading, which is a common practice in Java Application Servers, where this is also referred to as inverted or reversed class loading.
-This should not affect regular user code but will enable programs to use a different version of dependencies that come with Flink \u0026ndash; for example Akka, netty, or Jackson. If you want to change back to the previous default, you can use the configuration setting classloader.resolve-order: parent-first, the new default being child-first.

If you want to change back to the previous default, you can use the configuration setting classloader.resolve-order: parent-first, the new default being child-first.
 No more Avro dependency included by default # Flink previously included Avro by default so user programs could simply use Avro and not worry about adding any dependencies. This behavior was changed in Flink 1.4 because it can lead to dependency clashes.
 You now must manually include the Avro dependency (flink-avro) with your program jar (or add it to the Flink lib folder) if you want to use Avro.
 Hadoop-free Flink # Starting with version 1.4, Flink can run without any Hadoop dependencies present in the Classpath. Along with simply running without Hadoop, this enables Flink to dynamically use whatever Hadoop version is available in the classpath.
 You could, for example, download the Hadoop-free release of Flink but use that to run on any supported version of YARN, and Flink would dynamically use the Hadoop dependencies from YARN.
 This also means that in cases where you used connectors to HDFS, such as the BucketingSink or RollingSink, you now have to ensure that you either use a Flink distribution with bundled Hadoop dependencies or make sure to include Hadoop dependencies when building a jar file for your application.
-Bundled S3 FileSystems # Flink 1.4 comes bundled with two different S3 FileSystems based on the Presto S3 FileSystem and the Hadoop S3A FileSystem. They don\u0026rsquo;t have dependencies (because all dependencies are shaded/relocated) and you can use them by dropping the respective file from the opt directory into the lib directory of your Flink installation.

 Both releases include ambitious features that we believe will move Flink to an entirely new level in terms of the types of problems it can solve and applications it can support. The community deserves lots of credit for its hard work over the past few months, and we’re excited to see these features in the hands of users.
 This post will describe how the community plans to get there and the rationale behind the approach.
 Coming soon: Major Changes to Flink’s Runtime # There are 3 significant improvements to the Apache Flink engine that the community has nearly completed and that will have a meaningful impact on Flink’s operability and performance.
 Rework of the deployment model and distributed process Transition from configurable, fixed-interval network I/O to event-driven network I/O and application-level flow control for better backpressure handling Faster recovery from failure Next, we’ll go through each of these improvements in more detail.
-Reworking Flink’s Deployment Model and Distributed Processing # FLIP-6 (FLIP is short for FLink Improvement Proposal and FLIPs are proposals for bigger changes to Flink) is an initiative that’s been in the works for more than a year and represents a major refactor of Flink’s deployment model and distributed process. The underlying motivation for FLIP-6 was the fact that Flink is being adopted by a wider range of developer communities\u0026ndash;both developers coming from the big data and analytics space as well as developers coming from the event-driven applications space.

The underlying motivation for FLIP-6 was the fact that Flink is being adopted by a wider range of developer communities&ndash;both developers coming from the big data and analytics space as well as developers coming from the event-driven applications space.
 Modern, stateful stream processing has served as a convergence for these two developer communities. Despite a significant overlap of the core concepts in the applications being built, each group of developers has its own set of common tools, deployment models, and expected behaviors when working with a stream processing framework like Flink.
 FLIP-6 will ensure that Flink fits naturally in both of these contexts, behaving as though it’s native to each ecosystem and operating seamlessly within a broader technology stack. A few of the specific changes in FLIP-6 that will have such an impact:
-Leveraging cluster management frameworks to support full resource elasticity First-class support for containerized environments such as Kubernetes and Docker REST-based client-cluster communication to ease operations and 3rd party integrations FLIP-6, along with already-introduced features like rescalable state, lays the groundwork for dynamic scaling in Flink, meaning that Flink programs will be able to scale up or down automatically based on required resources\u0026ndash;a huge step forward in terms of ease of operability and the efficiency of Flink applications.

 In our testing (see slide 26 here), we’ve seen a substantial improvement in latency using event-driven network I/O, and the community is also doing work to make sure we’re able to provide this increase in speed without a measurable throughput tradeoff.
 Faster Recovery from Failures # Flink 1.3.0 introduced incremental checkpoints, making it possible to take a checkpoint of state updates since the last successfully-completed checkpoint only rather than the previous behavior of only taking checkpoints of the entire state of the application. This has led to significant performance improvements for users with large state.
 Flink 1.5 will introduce task-local recovery, which means that Flink will store a second copy of the most recent checkpoint on the local disk (or even in main memory) of a task manager. The primary copy still goes to durable storage so that it’s resilient to machine failures.

 But given these features’ importance and the complexity of the work involved, the community expected that the QA and testing required would be extensive and would delay the release of the otherwise- ready features also on the list for the next release.
 And so the community decided to withhold the 3 features above (deployment model rework, improvements to the network stack, and faster recovery) to be included a separate Flink 1.5 release that will come shortly after the Flink 1.4 release. Flink 1.5 is estimated to come just a couple of months after 1.4 rather than the typical 4-month cycle in between major releases.
 The soon-to-be-released Flink 1.4 represents the current state of Flink without merging those 3 features. And Flink 1.4 is a substantial release in its own right, including, but not limited to, the following:
-A significantly improved dependency structure, removing many of Flink’s dependencies and subtle runtime conflicts. This increases overall stability and removes friction when embedding Flink or calling Flink \u0026ldquo;library style\u0026rdquo;. Reversed class loading for dynamically-loaded user code, allowing for different dependencies than those included in the core framework. An Apache Kafka 0.11 exactly-once producer, making it possible to build end-to-end exactly once applications with Flink and Kafka. Streaming SQL JOIN based on processing time and event time, which gives users the full advantage of Flink’s time handling while using a SQL JOIN. Table API / Streaming SQL Source and Sink Additions, including a Kafka 0.11 source and JDBC sink. Hadoop-free Flink, meaning that users who don’t rely on any Hadoop components (such as YARN or HDFS) in their Flink applications can use Flink without Hadoop for the first time. Improvements to queryable state, including a more container-friendly architecture, a more user-friendly API that hides configuration parameters, and the groundwork to be able to expose window state (the state of an in-flight window) in the future. Connector improvements and fixes for a range of connectors including Kafka, Apache Cassandra, Amazon Kinesis, and more. Improved RPC performance for faster recovery from failure The community decided it was best to get these features into a stable version of Flink as soon as possible, and the separation of what could have been a single (and very substantial) Flink 1.4 release into 1.4 and 1.5 serves that purpose.

 This release includes more than 60 fixes and minor improvements for Flink 1.3.1. The list below includes a detailed list of all fixes.
 We highly recommend all users to upgrade to Flink 1.3.2.
 Important Notice: A user reported a bug in the FlinkKafkaConsumer (FLINK-7143) that is causing incorrect partition assignment in large Kafka deployments in the presence of inconsistent broker metadata. In that case multiple parallel instances of the FlinkKafkaConsumer may read from the same topic partition, leading to data duplication. In Flink 1.3.2 this bug is fixed but incorrect assignments from Flink 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 cannot be automatically fixed by upgrading to Flink 1.3.2 via a savepoint because the upgraded version would resume the wrong partition assignment from the savepoint. If you believe you are affected by this bug (seeing messages from some partitions duplicated) please refer to the JIRA issue for an upgrade path that works around that.
 Before attempting the more elaborate upgrade path, we would suggest to check if you are actually affected by this bug. We did not manage to reproduce it in various testing clusters and according to the reporting user, it only appeared in rare cases on their very large setup. This leads us to believe that most likely only a minority of setups would be affected by this bug.
 Notable changes:
 The default Kafka version for Flink Kafka Consumer 0.10 was bumped from 0.10.0.1 to 0.10.2.1. Some default values for configurations of AWS API call behaviors in the Flink Kinesis Consumer were adapted for better default consumption performance: 1) SHARD_GETRECORDS_MAX default changed to 10,000, and 2) SHARD_GETRECORDS_INTERVAL_MILLIS default changed to 200ms.

An Intro to Stateful Stream Processing # At a high level, we can consider state in stream processing as memory in operators that remembers information about past input and can be used to influence the processing of future input.
 In contrast, operators in stateless stream processing only consider their current inputs, without further context and knowledge about the past. A simple example to illustrate this difference: let us consider a source stream that emits events with schema e = {event_id:int, event_value:int}. Our goal is, for each event, to extract and output the event_value. We can easily achieve this with a simple source-map-sink pipeline, where the map function extracts the event_value from the event and emits it downstream to an outputting sink. This is an instance of stateless stream processing.
 But what if we want to modify our job to output the event_value only if it is larger than the value from the previous event? In this case, our map function obviously needs some way to remember the event_value from a past event — and so this is an instance of stateful stream processing.
 This example should demonstrate that state is a fundamental, enabling concept in stream processing that is required for a majority of interesting use cases.

 We can piggyback rescaling of stateful jobs on checkpointing, as shown in Figure 1B. First, a checkpoint is triggered and sent to a distributed storage system. Next, the job is restarted with a changed parallelism and can access a consistent snapshot of all previous state from the distributed storage. While this solves (i) redistribution of a (ii) consistent state across machines there is still one problem: without a clear 1:1 relationship between previous state and new parallel operator instances, how can we assign the state in a (iii) meaningful way?
 We could again assign the state from previous map_1 and map_2 to the new map_1 and map_2. But this would leave map_3 with empty state. Depending on the type of state and concrete semantics of the job, this naive approach could lead to anything from inefficiency to incorrect results.
 In the following section, we’ll explain how we solved the problem of efficient, meaningful state reassignment in Flink. Each of Flink state’s two flavours, operator state and keyed state, requires a different approach to state assignment.
-Reassigning Operator State When Rescaling # First, we’ll discuss how state reassignment in rescaling works for operator state. A common real-world use-case of operator state in Flink is to maintain the current offsets for Kafka partitions in Kafka sources. Each Kafka source instance would maintain \u0026lt;PartitionID, Offset\u0026gt; pairs – one pair for each Kafka partition that the source is reading–as operator state. How would we redistribute this operator state in case of rescaling? Ideally, we would like to reassign all \u0026lt;PartitionID, Offset\u0026gt; pairs from the checkpoint in round robin across all parallel operator instances after the rescaling.

 As a user, we are aware of the “meaning” of Kafka partition offsets, and we know that we can treat them as independent, redistributable units of state. The problem of how we can we share this domain-specific knowledge with Flink remains.
 Figure 2A illustrates the previous interface for checkpointing operator state in Flink. On snapshot, each operator instance returned an object that represented its complete state. In the case of a Kafka source, this object was a list of partition offsets.
 This snapshot object was then written to the distributed store. On restore, the object was read from distributed storage and passed to the operator instance as a parameter to the restore function.

 As a generalized approach to solve this black box problem, we slightly modified the checkpointing interface, called ListCheckpointed. Figure 2B shows the new checkpointing interface, which returns and receives a list of state partitions. Introducing a list instead of a single object makes the meaningful partitioning of state explicit: each item in the list still remains a black box to Flink, but is considered an atomic, independently re-distributable part of the operator state.
 Figure 2
 Our approach provides a simple API with which implementing operators can encode domain-specific knowledge about how to partition and merge units of state. With our new checkpointing interface, the Kafka source makes individual partition offsets explicit, and state reassignment becomes as easy as splitting and merging lists.

In contrast to operator state, keyed state is scoped by key, where the key is extracted from each stream event.
 To illustrate how keyed state differs from operator state, let’s use the following example. Assume we have a stream of events, where each event has the schema {customer_id:int, value:int}. We have already learned that we can use operator state to compute and emit the running sum of values for all customers.
 Now assume we want to slightly modify our goal and compute a running sum of values for each individual customer_id. This is a use case from keyed state, as one aggregated state must be maintained for each unique key in the stream.
 Note that keyed state is only available for keyed streams, which are created through the keyBy() operation in Flink. The keyBy() operation (i) specifies how to extract a key from each event and (ii) ensures that all events with the same key are always processed by the same parallel operator instance. As a result, all keyed state is transitively also bound to one parallel operator instance, because for each key, exactly one operator instance is responsible. This mapping from key to operator is deterministically computed through hash partitioning on the key.

 Large State Handling/Recovery # Incremental Checkpointing for RocksDB: It is now possible to checkpoint only the difference from the previous successful checkpoint, rather than checkpointing the entire application state. This speeds up checkpointing and saves disk space, because the individual checkpoints are smaller. (FLINK-5053).
 Asynchronous snapshots for heap-based state backends: The filesystem and memory statebackends now also support asynchronous snapshots using a copy-on-write HashMap implementation. Asynchronous snapshotting makes Flink more resilient to slow storage systems and expensive serialization. The time an operator blocks on a snapshot is reduced to a minimum (FLINK-6048, FLINK-5715).
 Allow upgrades to state serializers: Users can now upgrade serializers, while keeping their application state. One use case of this is upgrading custom serializers used for managed operator state/keyed state. Also, registration order for POJO types/Kryo types is now no longer fixed (Documentation, FLINK-6178).
-Recover job state at the granularity of operator: Before Flink 1.3, operator state was bound to Flink’s internal \u0026ldquo;Task\u0026rdquo; representation. This made it hard to change a job’s topology while keeping its state around. With this change, users are allowed to do more topology changes (un-chain operators) by restoring state into logical operators instead of “Tasks” (FLINK-5892).

With this change, users are allowed to do more topology changes (un-chain operators) by restoring state into logical operators instead of “Tasks” (FLINK-5892).
 Fine-grained recovery (beta): Instead of restarting the complete ExecutionGraph in case of a task failure, Flink is now able to restart only the affected subgraph and thereby significantly decrease recovery time (FLINK-4256).
 DataStream API # Side Outputs: This change allows users to have more than one output stream for an operator. Operator metadata, internal system information (debugging, performance etc.) or rejected/late elements are potential use-cases for this new API feature. The Window operator is now using this new feature for late window elements (Side Outputs Documentation, FLINK-4460).
 Union Operator State: Flink 1.2.0 introduced broadcast state functionality, but this had not yet been exposed via a public API. Flink 1.3.0 provides the Union Operator State API for exposing broadcast operator state. The union state will send the entire state across all parallel instances to each instance on restore, giving each operator a full view of the state (FLINK-5991).

 Deployment and Tooling # Flink HistoryServer: Flink’s HistoryServer now allows you to query the status and statistics of completed jobs that have been archived by a JobManager (FLINK-1579).
 Watermark Monitoring in Web Front-end: For easier diagnosis of watermark issues, the Flink JobManager front-end now provides a new tab to track the watermark of each operator (FLINK-3427).
 Datadog HTTP Metrics Reporter: Datadog is a widely-used metrics system, and Flink now offers a Datadog reporter that contacts the Datadog http endpoint directly (FLINK-6013).
-Network Buffer Configuration: We finally got rid of the tedious network buffer configuration and replaced it with a more generic approach. First of all, you may now follow the idiom \u0026ldquo;more is better\u0026rdquo; without any penalty on the latency which could previously occur due to excessive buffering in incoming and outgoing channels. Secondly, instead of defining an absolute number of network buffers, we now use fractions of the available JVM memory (10% by default). This should cover more use cases by default and may also be tweaked by defining a minimum and maximum size.

 Table API / SQL # Support for Retractions in Table API / SQL: As part of our endeavor to support continuous queries on Dynamic Tables, Retraction is an important building block that will enable a whole range of new applications which require updating previously-emitted results. Examples for such use cases are computation of early results for long-running windows, updates due to late arriving data, or maintaining constantly changing results similar to materialized views in relational database systems. Flink 1.3.0 supports retraction for non-windowed aggregates. Results with updates can be either converted into a DataStream or materialized to external data stores using TableSinks with upsert or retraction support.

 The Table API / SQL documentation is currently being reworked. The community plans to publish the updated docs in the week of June 5th. Connectors # ElasticSearch 5.x support: The ElasticSearch connectors have been restructured to have a common base module and specific modules for ES 1, 2 and 5, similar to how the Kafka connectors are organized. This will make fixes and future improvements available across all ES versions (FLINK-4988).
 Allow rescaling the Kinesis Consumer: Flink 1.2.0 introduced rescalable state for DataStream programs. With Flink 1.3, the Kinesis Consumer also makes use of that engine feature (FLINK-4821).
 Transparent shard discovery for Kinesis Consumer: The Kinesis consumer can now discover new shards without failing / restarting jobs when a resharding is happening (FLINK-4577).
 Allow setting custom start positions for the Kafka consumer: With this change, you can instruct Flink’s Kafka consumer to start reading messages from a specific offset (FLINK-3123) or earliest / latest offset (FLINK-4280) without respecting committed offsets in Kafka.
 Allow out-opt from offset committing for the Kafka consumer: By default, Kafka commits the offsets to the Kafka broker once a checkpoint has been completed. This change allows users to disable this mechanism (FLINK-3398).

 Apache Flink is very well suited to power streaming analytics applications because it provides support for event-time semantics, stateful exactly-once processing, and achieves high throughput and low latency at the same time. Due to these features, Flink is able to compute exact and deterministic results from high-volume input streams in near real-time while providing exactly-once semantics in case of failures.
-Flink\u0026rsquo;s core API for stream processing, the DataStream API, is very expressive and provides primitives for many common operations. Among other features, it offers highly customizable windowing logic, different state primitives with varying performance characteristics, hooks to register and react on timers, and tooling for efficient asynchronous requests to external systems. On the other hand, many stream analytics applications follow similar patterns and do not require the level of expressiveness as provided by the DataStream API. They could be expressed in a more natural and concise way using a domain specific language. As we all know, SQL is the de-facto standard for data analytics. For streaming analytics, SQL would enable a larger pool of people to specify applications on data streams in less time. However, no open source stream processor offers decent SQL support yet.

For streaming analytics, SQL would enable a larger pool of people to specify applications on data streams in less time. However, no open source stream processor offers decent SQL support yet.
 Why is SQL on Streams a Big Deal? # SQL is the most widely used language for data analytics for many good reasons:
-SQL is declarative: You specify what you want but not how to compute it. SQL can be effectively optimized: An optimizer figures out an efficient plan to compute your result. SQL can be efficiently evaluated: The processing engine knows exactly what to compute and how to do so efficiently. And finally, everybody knows and many tools speak SQL. So being able to process and analyze data streams with SQL makes stream processing technology available to many more users. Moreover, it significantly reduces the time and effort to define efficient stream analytics applications due to the SQL\u0026rsquo;s declarative nature and potential to be automatically optimized.
-However, SQL (and the relational data model and algebra) were not designed with streaming data in mind. Relations are (multi-)sets and not infinite sequences of tuples. When executing a SQL query, conventional database systems and query engines read and process a data set, which is completely available, and produce a fixed sized result. In contrast, data streams continuously provide new records such that data arrives over time. Hence, streaming queries have to continuously process the arriving data and never \u0026ldquo;complete\u0026rdquo;.
-That being said, processing streams with SQL is not impossible. Some relational database systems feature eager maintenance of materialized views, which is similar to evaluating SQL queries on streams of data. A materialized view is defined as a SQL query just like a regular (virtual) view. However, the result of the query is actually stored (or materialized) in memory or on disk such that the view does not need to be computed on-the-fly when it is queried. In order to prevent that a materialized view becomes stale, the database system needs to update the view whenever its base relations (the tables referenced in its definition query) are modified. If we consider the changes on the view\u0026rsquo;s base relations as a stream of modifications (or as a changelog stream) it becomes obvious that materialized view maintenance and SQL on streams are somehow related.
-Flink\u0026rsquo;s Relational APIs: Table API and SQL # Since version 1.1.0 (released in August 2016), Flink features two semantically equivalent relational APIs, the language-embedded Table API (for Java and Scala) and standard SQL.

+Flink&rsquo;s Relational APIs: Table API and SQL # Since version 1.1.0 (released in August 2016), Flink features two semantically equivalent relational APIs, the language-embedded Table API (for Java and Scala) and standard SQL. Both APIs are designed as unified APIs for online streaming and historic batch data. This means that,
 a query produces exactly the same result regardless whether its input is static batch data or streaming data.
-Unified APIs for stream and batch processing are important for several reasons. First of all, users only need to learn a single API to process static and streaming data. Moreover, the same query can be used to analyze batch and streaming data, which allows to jointly analyze historic and live data in the same query. At the current state we haven\u0026rsquo;t achieved complete unification of batch and streaming semantics yet, but the community is making very good progress towards this goal.
-The following code snippet shows two equivalent Table API and SQL queries that compute a simple windowed aggregate on a stream of temperature sensor measurements. The syntax of the SQL query is based on Apache Calcite\u0026rsquo;s syntax for grouped window functions and will be supported in version 1.3.0 of Flink.
-val env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment env.setStreamTimeCharacteristic(TimeCharacteristic.EventTime) val tEnv = TableEnvironment.getTableEnvironment(env) // define a table source to read sensor data (sensorId, time, room, temp) val sensorTable = ??? // can be a CSV file, Kafka topic, database, or ... // register the table source tEnv.registerTableSource(\u0026#34;sensors\u0026#34;, sensorTable) // Table API val tapiResult: Table = tEnv.scan(\u0026#34;sensors\u0026#34;) // scan sensors table .window(Tumble over 1.hour on \u0026#39;rowtime as \u0026#39;w) // define 1-hour window .groupBy(\u0026#39;w, \u0026#39;room) // group by window and room .select(\u0026#39;room, \u0026#39;w.end, \u0026#39;temp.avg as \u0026#39;avgTemp) // compute average temperature // SQL val sqlResult: Table = tEnv.sql(\u0026#34;\u0026#34;\u0026#34; |SELECT room, TUMBLE_END(rowtime, INTERVAL \u0026#39;1\u0026#39; HOUR), AVG(temp) AS avgTemp |FROM sensors |GROUP BY TUMBLE(rowtime, INTERVAL \u0026#39;1\u0026#39; HOUR), room |\u0026#34;\u0026#34;\u0026#34;.stripMargin) As you can see, both APIs are tightly integrated with each other and Flink\u0026rsquo;s primary DataStream and DataSet APIs. A Table can be generated from and converted to a DataSet or DataStream. Hence, it is easily possible to scan an external table source such as a database or Parquet file, do some preprocessing with a Table API query, convert the result into a DataSet and run a Gelly graph algorithm on it. The queries defined in the example above can also be used to process batch data by changing the execution environment.

The queries defined in the example above can also be used to process batch data by changing the execution environment.
 Internally, both APIs are translated into the same logical representation, optimized by Apache Calcite, and compiled into DataStream or DataSet programs. In fact, the optimization and translation process does not know whether a query was defined using the Table API or SQL. If you are curious about the details of the optimization process, have a look at a blog post that we published last year. Since the Table API and SQL are equivalent in terms of semantics and only differ in syntax, we always refer to both APIs when we talk about SQL in this post.
-In its current state (version 1.2.0), Flink\u0026rsquo;s relational APIs support a limited set of relational operators on data streams, including projections, filters, and windowed aggregates. All supported operators have in common that they never update result records which have been emitted. This is clearly not an issue for record-at-a-time operators such as projection and filter. However, it affects operators that collect and process multiple records as for instance windowed aggregates. Since emitted results cannot be updated, input records, which arrive after a result has been emitted, have to be discarded in Flink 1.2.0.

However, it affects operators that collect and process multiple records as for instance windowed aggregates. Since emitted results cannot be updated, input records, which arrive after a result has been emitted, have to be discarded in Flink 1.2.0.
 The limitations of the current version are acceptable for applications that emit data to storage systems such as Kafka topics, message queues, or files which only support append operations and no updates or deletes. Common use cases that follow this pattern are for example continuous ETL and stream archiving applications that persist streams to an archive or prepare data for further online (streaming) analysis or later offline analysis. Since it is not possible to update previously emitted results, these kinds of applications have to make sure that the emitted results are correct and will not need to be corrected in the future. The following figure illustrates such applications.
 While queries that only support appends are useful for some kinds of applications and certain types of storage systems, there are many streaming analytics use cases that need to update results. This includes streaming applications that cannot discard late arriving records, need early results for (long-running) windowed aggregates, or require non-windowed aggregates. In each of these cases, previously emitted result records need to be updated. Result-updating queries often materialize their result to an external database or key-value store in order to make it accessible and queryable for external applications. Applications that implement this pattern are dashboards, reporting applications, or other applications, which require timely access to continuously updated results. The following figure illustrates these kind of applications.
-Continuous Queries on Dynamic Tables # Support for queries that update previously emitted results is the next big step for Flink\u0026rsquo;s relational APIs. This feature is so important because it vastly increases the scope of the APIs and the range of supported use cases. Moreover, many of the newly supported use cases can be challenging to implement using the DataStream API.

This feature is so important because it vastly increases the scope of the APIs and the range of supported use cases. Moreover, many of the newly supported use cases can be challenging to implement using the DataStream API.
 So when adding support for result-updating queries, we must of course preserve the unified semantics for stream and batch inputs. We achieve this by the concept of Dynamic Tables. A dynamic table is a table that is continuously updated and can be queried like a regular, static table. However, in contrast to a query on a batch table which terminates and returns a static table as result, a query on a dynamic table runs continuously and produces a table that is continuously updated depending on the modification on the input table. Hence, the resulting table is a dynamic table as well. This concept is very similar to materialized view maintenance as we discussed before.
 Assuming we can run queries on dynamic tables which produce new dynamic tables, the next question is, How do streams and dynamic tables relate to each other? The answer is that streams can be converted into dynamic tables and dynamic tables can be converted into streams. The following figure shows the conceptual model of processing a relational query on a stream.
 First, the stream is converted into a dynamic table. The dynamic table is queried with a continuous query, which produces a new dynamic table. Finally, the resulting table is converted back into a stream. It is important to note that this is only the logical model and does not imply how the query is actually executed. In fact, a continuous query is internally translated into a conventional DataStream program.

 Defining a dynamic table on a stream, Querying a dynamic table, and Emitting a dynamic table. Defining a Dynamic Table on a Stream # The first step of evaluating a SQL query on a dynamic table is to define a dynamic table on a stream. This means we have to specify how the records of a stream modify the dynamic table. The stream must carry records with a schema that is mapped to the relational schema of the table. There are two modes to define a dynamic table on a stream: Append Mode and Update Mode.
 In append mode each stream record is an insert modification to the dynamic table. Hence, all records of a stream are appended to the dynamic table such that it is ever-growing and infinite in size. The following figure illustrates the append mode.
 In update mode a stream record can represent an insert, update, or delete modification on the dynamic table (append mode is in fact a special case of update mode). When defining a dynamic table on a stream via update mode, we can specify a unique key attribute on the table. In that case, update and delete operations are performed with respect to the key attribute. The update mode is visualized in the following figure.
-Querying a Dynamic Table # Once we have defined a dynamic table, we can run a query on it. Since dynamic tables change over time, we have to define what it means to query a dynamic table. Let\u0026rsquo;s imagine we take a snapshot of a dynamic table at a specific point in time. This snapshot can be treated as a regular static batch table. We denote a snapshot of a dynamic table A at a point t as A[t]. The snapshot can be queried with any SQL query. The query produces a regular static table as result. We denote the result of a query q on a dynamic table A at time t as q(A[t]). If we repeatedly compute the result of a query on snapshots of a dynamic table for progressing points in time, we obtain many static result tables which are changing over time and effectively constitute a dynamic table. We define the semantics of a query on a dynamic table as follows.

We denote the result of a query q on a dynamic table A at time t as q(A[t]). If we repeatedly compute the result of a query on snapshots of a dynamic table for progressing points in time, we obtain many static result tables which are changing over time and effectively constitute a dynamic table. We define the semantics of a query on a dynamic table as follows.
 A query q on a dynamic table A produces a dynamic table R, which is at each point in time t equivalent to the result of applying q on A[t], i.e., R[t] = q(A[t]). This definition implies that running the same query on q on a batch table and on a streaming table produces the same result. In the following, we show two examples to illustrate the semantics of queries on dynamic tables.
 In the figure below, we see a dynamic input table A on the left side, which is defined in append mode. At time t = 8, A consists of six rows (colored in blue). At time t = 9 and t = 12, one row is appended to A (visualized in green and orange, respectively). We run a simple query on table A which is shown in the center of the figure. The query groups by attribute k and counts the records per group. On the right hand side we see the result of query q at time t = 8 (blue), t = 9 (green), and t = 12 (orange). At each point in time t, the result table is equivalent to a batch query on the dynamic table A at time t.
 The query in this example is a simple grouped (but not windowed) aggregation query. Hence, the size of the result table depends on the number of distinct grouping keys of the input table. Moreover, it is worth noticing that the query continuously updates result rows that it had previously emitted instead of merely adding new rows.
-The second example shows a similar query which differs in one important aspect. In addition to grouping on the key attribute k, the query also groups records into tumbling windows of five seconds, which means that it computes a count for each value of k every five seconds. Again, we use Calcite\u0026rsquo;s group window functions to specify this query. On the left side of the figure we see the input table A and how it changes over time in append mode. On the right we see the result table and how it evolves over time.

 In contrast to the result of the first example, the resulting table grows relative to the time, i.e., every five seconds new result rows are computed (given that the input table received more records in the last five seconds). While the non-windowed query (mostly) updates rows of the result table, the windowed aggregation query only appends new rows to the result table.
-Although this blog post focuses on the semantics of SQL queries on dynamic tables and not on how to efficiently process such a query, we\u0026rsquo;d like to point out that it is not possible to compute the complete result of a query from scratch whenever an input table is updated. Instead, the query is compiled into a streaming program which continuously updates its result based on the changes on its input. This implies that not all valid SQL queries are supported but only those that can be continuously, incrementally, and efficiently computed. We plan discuss details about the evaluation of SQL queries on dynamic tables in a follow up blog post.
-Emitting a Dynamic Table # Querying a dynamic table yields another dynamic table, which represents the query\u0026rsquo;s results. Depending on the query and its input tables, the result table is continuously modified by insert, update, and delete changes just like a regular database table. It might be a table with a single row, which is constantly updated, an insert-only table without update modifications, or anything in between.

 Traditional database systems use logs to rebuild tables in case of failures and for replication. There are different logging techniques, such as UNDO, REDO, and UNDO/REDO logging. In a nutshell, UNDO logs record the previous value of a modified element to revert incomplete transactions, REDO logs record the new value of a modified element to redo lost changes of completed transactions, and UNDO/REDO logs record the old and the new value of a changed element to undo incomplete transactions and redo lost changes of completed transactions. Based on the principles of these logging techniques, a dynamic table can be converted into two types of changelog streams, a REDO Stream and a REDO+UNDO Stream.
 A dynamic table is converted into a redo+undo stream by converting the modifications on the table into stream messages. An insert modification is emitted as an insert message with the new row, a delete modification is emitted as a delete message with the old row, and an update modification is emitted as a delete message with the old row and an insert message with the new row. This behavior is illustrated in the following figure.
-The left shows a dynamic table which is maintained in append mode and serves as input to the query in the center. The result of the query converted into a redo+undo stream which is shown at the bottom. The first record (1, A) of the input table results in a new record in the result table and hence in an insert message +(A, 1) to the stream. The second input record with k = \u0026lsquo;A\u0026rsquo; (4, A) produces an update of the (A, 1) record in the result table and hence yields a delete message -(A, 1) and an insert message for +(A, 2). All downstream operators or data sinks need to be able to correctly handle both types of messages.

All downstream operators or data sinks need to be able to correctly handle both types of messages.
 A dynamic table can be converted into a redo stream in two cases: either it is an append-only table (i.e., it only has insert modifications) or it has a unique key attribute. Each insert modification on the dynamic table results in an insert message with the new row to the redo stream. Due to the restriction of redo streams, only tables with unique keys can have update and delete modifications. If a key is removed from the keyed dynamic table, either because a row is deleted or because the key attribute of a row was modified, a delete message with the removed key is emitted to the redo stream. An update modification yields an update message with the updating, i.e., new row. Since delete and update modifications are defined with respect to the unique key, the downstream operators need to be able to access previous values by key. The figure below shows how the result table of the same query as above is converted into a redo stream.
 The row (1, A) which yields an insert into the dynamic table results in the +(A, 1) insert message. The row (4, A) which produces an update yields the *(A, 2) update message.
 Common use cases for redo streams are to write the result of a query to an append-only storage system, like rolling files or a Kafka topic, or to a data store with keyed access, such as Cassandra, a relational DBMS, or a compacted Kafka topic. It is also possible to materialize a dynamic table as keyed state inside of the streaming application that evaluates the continuous query and make it queryable from external systems. With this design Flink itself maintains the result of a continuous SQL query on a stream and serves key lookups on the result table, for instance from a dashboard application.
-What will Change When Switching to Dynamic Tables? # In version 1.2, all streaming operators of Flink\u0026rsquo;s relational APIs, like filter, project, and group window aggregates, only emit new rows and are not capable of updating previously emitted results. In contrast, dynamic table are able to handle update and delete modifications. Now you might ask yourself, How does the processing model of the current version relate to the new dynamic table model? Will the semantics of the APIs completely change and do we need to reimplement the APIs from scratch to achieve the desired semantics?

Will the semantics of the APIs completely change and do we need to reimplement the APIs from scratch to achieve the desired semantics?
 The answer to all these questions is simple. The current processing model is a subset of the dynamic table model. Using the terminology we introduced in this post, the current model converts a stream into a dynamic table in append mode, i.e., an infinitely growing table. Since all operators only accept insert changes and produce insert changes on their result table (i.e., emit new rows), all supported queries result in dynamic append tables, which are converted back into DataStreams using the redo model for append-only tables. Consequently, the semantics of the current model are completely covered and preserved by the new dynamic table model.
-Conclusion and Outlook # Flink\u0026rsquo;s relational APIs are great to implement stream analytics applications in no time and used in several production settings. In this blog post we discussed the future of the Table API and SQL. This effort will make Flink and stream processing accessible to more people. Moreover, the unified semantics for querying historic and real-time data as well as the concept of querying and maintaining dynamic tables will enable and significantly ease the implementation of many exciting use cases and applications. As this post was focusing on the semantics of relational queries on streams and dynamic tables, we did not discuss the details of how a query will be executed, which includes the internal implementation of retractions, handling of late events, support for early results, and bounding space requirements. We plan to publish a follow up blog post on this topic at a later point in time.

 In recent months, many members of the Flink community have been discussing and contributing to the relational APIs. We made great progress so far. While most work has focused on processing streams in append mode, the next steps on the agenda are to work on dynamic tables to support queries that update their results. If you are excited about the idea of processing streams with SQL and would like to contribute to this effort, please give feedback, join the discussions on the mailing list, or grab a JIRA issue to work on.

 Recently, contributors working for companies such as Alibaba, Huawei, data Artisans, and more decided to further develop the Table API. Over the past year, the Table API has been rewritten entirely. Since Flink 1.1, its core has been based on Apache Calcite, which parses SQL and optimizes all relational queries. Today, the Table API can address a wide range of use cases in both batch and stream environments with unified semantics.
 This blog post summarizes the current status of Flink’s Table API and showcases some of the recently-added features in Apache Flink. Among the features presented here are the unified access to batch and streaming data, data transformation, and window operators. The following paragraphs are not only supposed to give you a general overview of the Table API, but also to illustrate the potential of relational APIs in the future.
 Because the Table API is built on top of Flink’s core APIs, DataStreams and DataSets can be converted to a Table and vice-versa without much overhead. Hereafter, we show how to create tables from different sources and specify programs that can be executed locally or in a distributed setting. In this post, we will use the Scala version of the Table API, but there is also a Java version as well as a SQL API with an equivalent set of features.
 Data Transformation and ETL # A common task in every data processing pipeline is importing data from one or multiple systems, applying some transformations to it, then exporting the data to another system. The Table API can help to manage these recurring tasks. For reading data, the API provides a set of ready-to-use TableSources such as a CsvTableSource and KafkaTableSource, however, it also allows the implementation of custom TableSources that can hide configuration specifics (e.g. watermark generation) from users who are less familiar with streaming concepts.
 Let’s assume we have a CSV file that stores customer information. The values are delimited by a “|”-character and contain a customer identifier, name, timestamp of the last update, and preferences encoded in a comma-separated key-value string:
 42|Bob Smith|2016-07-23 16:10:11|color=12,length=200,size=200 The following example illustrates how to read a CSV file and perform some data cleansing before converting it to a regular DataStream program.
-// set up execution environment val env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment val tEnv = TableEnvironment.getTableEnvironment(env) // configure table source val customerSource = CsvTableSource.builder() .path(\u0026#34;/path/to/customer_data.csv\u0026#34;) .ignoreFirstLine() .fieldDelimiter(\u0026#34;|\u0026#34;) .field(\u0026#34;id\u0026#34;, Types.LONG) .field(\u0026#34;name\u0026#34;, Types.STRING) .field(\u0026#34;last_update\u0026#34;, Types.TIMESTAMP) .field(\u0026#34;prefs\u0026#34;, Types.STRING) .build() // name your table source tEnv.registerTableSource(\u0026#34;customers\u0026#34;, customerSource) // define your table program val table = tEnv .scan(\u0026#34;customers\u0026#34;) .filter(\u0026#39;name.isNotNull \u0026amp;\u0026amp; \u0026#39;last_update \u0026gt; \u0026#34;2016-01-01 00:00:00\u0026#34;.toTimestamp) .select(\u0026#39;id, \u0026#39;name.lowerCase(), \u0026#39;prefs) // convert it to a data stream val ds = table.toDataStream[Row] ds.print() env.execute() The Table API comes with a large set of built-in functions that make it easy to specify business logic using a language integrated query (LINQ) syntax. In the example above, we filter out customers with invalid names and only select those that updated their preferences recently. We convert names to lowercase for normalization. For debugging purposes, we convert the table into a DataStream and print it.
+// set up execution environment val env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment val tEnv = TableEnvironment.getTableEnvironment(env) // configure table source val customerSource = CsvTableSource.builder() .path(&#34;/path/to/customer_data.csv&#34;) .ignoreFirstLine() .fieldDelimiter(&#34;|&#34;) .field(&#34;id&#34;, Types.LONG) .field(&#34;name&#34;, Types.STRING) .field(&#34;last_update&#34;, Types.TIMESTAMP) .field(&#34;prefs&#34;, Types.STRING) .build() // name your table source tEnv.registerTableSource(&#34;customers&#34;, customerSource) // define your table program val table = tEnv .scan(&#34;customers&#34;) .filter(&#39;name.isNotNull &amp;&amp; &#39;last_update &gt; &#34;2016-01-01 00:00:00&#34;.toTimestamp) .select(&#39;id, &#39;name.lowerCase(), &#39;prefs) // convert it to a data stream val ds = table.toDataStream[Row] ds.print() env.execute() The Table API comes with a large set of built-in functions that make it easy to specify business logic using a language integrated query (LINQ) syntax. In the example above, we filter out customers with invalid names and only select those that updated their preferences recently. We convert names to lowercase for normalization. For debugging purposes, we convert the table into a DataStream and print it.
 The CsvTableSource supports both batch and stream environments. If the programmer wants to execute the program above in a batch application, all he or she has to do is to replace the environment via ExecutionEnvironment and change the output conversion from DataStream to DataSet. The Table API program itself doesn’t change.
 In the example, we converted the table program to a data stream of Row objects. However, we are not limited to row data types. The Table API supports all types from the underlying APIs such as Java and Scala Tuples, Case Classes, POJOs, or generic types that are serialized using Kryo. Let’s assume that we want to have regular object (POJO) with the following format instead of generic rows:
 class Customer { var id: Int = _ var name: String = _ var update: Long = _ var prefs: java.util.Properties = _ } We can use the following table program to convert the CSV file into Customer objects. Flink takes care of creating objects and mapping fields for us.
-val ds = tEnv .scan(\u0026#34;customers\u0026#34;) .select(\u0026#39;id, \u0026#39;name, \u0026#39;last_update as \u0026#39;update, parseProperties(\u0026#39;prefs) as \u0026#39;prefs) .toDataStream[Customer] You might have noticed that the query above uses a function to parse the preferences field. Even though Flink’s Table API is shipped with a large set of built-in functions, is often necessary to define custom user-defined scalar functions. In the above example we use a user-defined function parseProperties. The following code snippet shows how easily we can implement a scalar function.
-object parseProperties extends ScalarFunction { def eval(str: String): Properties = { val props = new Properties() str .split(\u0026#34;,\u0026#34;) .map(\\_.split(\u0026#34;=\u0026#34;)) .foreach(split =\u0026gt; props.setProperty(split(0), split(1))) props } } Scalar functions can be used to deserialize, extract, or convert values (and more). By overwriting the open() method we can even have access to runtime information such as distributed cached files or metrics. Even the open() method is only called once during the runtime’s task lifecycle.

By overwriting the open() method we can even have access to runtime information such as distributed cached files or metrics. Even the open() method is only called once during the runtime’s task lifecycle.
 Unified Windowing for Static and Streaming Data # Another very common task, especially when working with continuous data, is the definition of windows to split a stream into pieces of finite size, over which we can apply computations. At the moment, the Table API supports three types of windows: sliding windows, tumbling windows, and session windows (for general definitions of the different types of windows, we recommend Flink’s documentation). All three window types work on event or processing time. Session windows can be defined over time intervals, sliding and tumbling windows can be defined over time intervals or a number of rows.
 Let’s assume that our customer data from the example above is an event stream of updates generated whenever the customer updated his or her preferences. We assume that events come from a TableSource that has assigned timestamps and watermarks. The definition of a window happens again in a LINQ-style fashion. The following example could be used to count the updates to the preferences during one day.
-table .window(Tumble over 1.day on \u0026#39;rowtime as \u0026#39;w) .groupBy(\u0026#39;id, \u0026#39;w) .select(\u0026#39;id, \u0026#39;w.start as \u0026#39;from, \u0026#39;w.end as \u0026#39;to, \u0026#39;prefs.count as \u0026#39;updates) By using the on() parameter, we can specify whether the window is supposed to work on event-time or not. The Table API assumes that timestamps and watermarks are assigned correctly when using event-time. Elements with timestamps smaller than the last received watermark are dropped. Since the extraction of timestamps and generation of watermarks depends on the data source and requires some deeper knowledge of their origin, the TableSource or the upstream DataStream is usually responsible for assigning these properties.
+table .window(Tumble over 1.day on &#39;rowtime as &#39;w) .groupBy(&#39;id, &#39;w) .select(&#39;id, &#39;w.start as &#39;from, &#39;w.end as &#39;to, &#39;prefs.count as &#39;updates) By using the on() parameter, we can specify whether the window is supposed to work on event-time or not.

 The following code shows how to define other types of windows:
-// using processing-time table.window(Tumble over 100.rows as \u0026#39;manyRowWindow) // using event-time table.window(Session withGap 15.minutes on \u0026#39;rowtime as \u0026#39;sessionWindow) table.window(Slide over 1.day every 1.hour on \u0026#39;rowtime as \u0026#39;dailyWindow) Since batch is just a special case of streaming (where a batch happens to have a defined start and end point), it is also possible to apply all of these windows in a batch execution environment. Without any modification of the table program itself, we can run the code on a DataSet given that we specified a column named “rowtime”. This is particularly interesting if we want to compute exact results from time-to-time, so that late events that are heavily out-of-order can be included in the computation.

 At the moment, the Table API only supports so-called “group windows” that also exist in the DataStream API. Other windows such as SQL’s OVER clause windows are in development and planned for Flink 1.3.
 In order to demonstrate the expressiveness and capabilities of the API, here’s a snippet with a more advanced example of an exponentially decaying moving average over a sliding window of one hour which returns aggregated results every second. The table program weighs recent orders more heavily than older orders. This example is borrowed from Apache Calcite and shows what will be possible in future Flink releases for both the Table API and SQL.

 Using the previously-mentioned customer table, let’s assume we want to produce a table that contains the color and size preferences as separate columns. The table program would look like this:
-// create an instance of the table function val extractPrefs = new PropertiesExtractor() // derive rows and join them with original row table .join(extractPrefs(\u0026#39;prefs) as (\u0026#39;color, \u0026#39;size)) .select(\u0026#39;id, \u0026#39;username, \u0026#39;color, \u0026#39;size) The PropertiesExtractor is a user-defined table function that extracts the color and size. We are not interested in customers that haven’t set these preferences and thus don’t emit anything if both properties are not present in the string value. Since we are using a (cross) join in the program, customers without a result on the right side of the join will be filtered out.
-class PropertiesExtractor extends TableFunction[Row] { def eval(prefs: String): Unit = { // split string into (key, value) pairs val pairs = prefs .split(\u0026#34;,\u0026#34;) .map { kv =\u0026gt; val split = kv.split(\u0026#34;=\u0026#34;) (split(0), split(1)) } val color = pairs.find(\\_.\\_1 == \u0026#34;color\u0026#34;).map(\\_.\\_2) val size = pairs.find(\\_.\\_1 == \u0026#34;size\u0026#34;).map(\\_.\\_2) // emit a row if color and size are specified (color, size) match { case (Some(c), Some(s)) =\u0026gt; collect(Row.of(c, s)) case _ =\u0026gt; // skip } } override def getResultType = new RowTypeInfo(Types.STRING, Types.STRING) } Conclusion # There is significant interest in making streaming more accessible and easier to use. Flink’s Table API development is happening quickly, and we believe that soon, you will be able to implement large batch or streaming pipelines using purely relational APIs or even convert existing Flink jobs to table programs. The Table API is already a very useful tool since you can work around limitations and missing features at any time by switching back-and-forth between the DataSet/DataStream abstraction to the Table abstraction.

 Contributions like support of Apache Hive UDFs, external catalogs, more TableSources, additional windows, and more operators will make the Table API an even more useful tool. Particularly, the upcoming introduction of Dynamic Tables, which is worth a blog post of its own, shows that even in 2017, new relational APIs open the door to a number of possibilities.

 This is the third major release in the 1.x.y series. It is API compatible with the other 1.x.y releases for APIs annotated with the @Public annotation.
 We encourage everyone to download the release and check out the documentation. Feedback through the Flink mailing lists is, as always, gladly encouraged!

 Dynamic Scaling / Key Groups # Flink now supports changing the parallelism of a streaming job by restoring it from a savepoint with a different parallelism. Both changing the entire job’s parallelism and operator parallelism is supported. In the StreamExecutionEnvironment, users can set a new per-job configuration parameter called “max parallelism”. It determines the upper limit for the parallelism.
 By default, the value is set to:
-128 : for all parallelism \u0026lt;= 128 MIN(nextPowerOfTwo(parallelism + (parallelism / 2)), 2^15): for all parallelism \u0026gt; 128 The following built-in functions and operators support rescaling:
+128 : for all parallelism &lt;= 128 MIN(nextPowerOfTwo(parallelism + (parallelism / 2)), 2^15): for all parallelism &gt; 128 The following built-in functions and operators support rescaling:
 Window operator Rolling/Bucketing sink Kafka consumers Continuous File Processing source The write-ahead log Cassandra sink and the CEP operator are currently not rescalable. Users using the keyed state interfaces can use the dynamic scaling without changing their code.
 Rescalable Non-Partitioned State # As part of the dynamic scaling effort, the community has also added rescalable non-partitioned state for operators like the Kafka consumer that don’t use keyed state but instead use operator state.
 In case of rescaling, the operator state needs to be redistributed among the parallel consumer instances. In case of the Kafka consumer, the assigned partitions and their offsets are redistributed.

+Table API &amp; SQL # This release significantly expanded the performance, stability, and coverage of Flink’s Table API and SQL support for batch and streaming tables.
 The community added tumbling, sliding, and session group-window aggregations over streaming tables e.g. table.window(Session withGap 10.minutes on 'rowtime as 'w)
 SQL supports more built-in functions and operations e.g. EXISTS, VALUES, LIMIT, CURRENT_DATE, INITCAP, NULLIF
 Both APIs support more data types and are better integrated e.g. access a POJO field myPojo.get('field'), myPojo.flatten()
 Users can now define their own scalar and table functions e.g. table.select('uid, parse('field) as 'parsed).join(split('parsed) as 'atom)

 Miscellaneous improvements # Metrics in Flink web interface: A metrics system was added in Flink 1.1, and with this release, Flink provides a new tab in the web frontend to see some of the metrics in the web UI.
 Kafka 0.10 support: Flink 1.2 now provides a connector for Apache Kafka 0.10.0.x, including support for consuming and producing messages with a timestamp using Flink’s internal event time (Kafka Connector Documentation)
 Evictor Semantics: Flink 1.2 ships with more expressive evictor semantics that allow the programmer to evict elements form a window both before and after the application of the window function, and to remove elements arbitrarily (Evictor Semantics Documentation)

+Note for RocksDB Backend Users # We updated Flink&rsquo;s RocksDB dependency version from 4.5.1 to 4.11.2. Between these versions some of RocksDB&rsquo;s internal configuration defaults changed that would affect the memory footprint of running Flink with RocksDB. Therefore, we manually reset them to the previous defaults. If you want to run with the new Rocks 4.11.2 defaults, you can do this via:
+RocksDBStateBackend backend = new RocksDBStateBackend(&#34;...&#34;); // Use the new default options.

 Flink Forward 2016 # The second annual Flink Forward conference took place in Berlin on September 12-14, and over 350 members of the Flink community came together for speaker sessions, training, and discussion about Flink. Slides and videos from speaker sessions are available online, and we encourage you to take a look if you’re interested in learning more about how Flink is used in production in a wide range of organizations.
 Flink Forward will be expanding to San Francisco in April 2017, and the third-annual Berlin event is scheduled for September 2017.
 Features and Ecosystem # Flink Ecosystem Growth # Flink was added to a selection of distributions during 2016, making it easier for an even larger base of users to start working with Flink:
-Amazon EMR Google Cloud Dataproc Lightbend Fast Data Platform In addition, the Apache Beam and Flink communities teamed up to build a Flink runner for Beam that, according to the Google team, is \u0026ldquo;sophisticated enough to be a compelling alternative to Cloud Dataflow when running on premise or on non-Google clouds\u0026rdquo;.

 Feature Timeline in 2016 # Here’s a selection of major features added to Flink over the course of 2016:
-If you spend time in the Apache Flink JIRA project, you’ll see that the Flink community has addressed every single one of the roadmap items identified in 2015’s year in review post. Here\u0026rsquo;s to making that an annual tradition. :)
-Looking ahead to 2017 # A good source of information about the Flink community\u0026rsquo;s roadmap is the list of Flink Improvement Proposals (FLIPs) in the project wiki. Below, we\u0026rsquo;ll highlight a selection of FLIPs that have been accepted by the community as well as some that are still under discussion.

 We should note that work is already underway on a number of these features, and some will even be included in Flink 1.2 at the beginning of 2017.
 A new Flink deployment and process model, as described in FLIP-6. This work ensures that Flink supports a wide range of deployment types and cluster managers, making it possible to run Flink smoothly in any environment.
-Dynamic scaling for both key-value state (as described in this PR) and non-partitioned state (as described in FLIP-8), ensuring that it\u0026rsquo;s always possible to split or merge state when scaling up or down, respectively.
+Dynamic scaling for both key-value state (as described in this PR) and non-partitioned state (as described in FLIP-8), ensuring that it&rsquo;s always possible to split or merge state when scaling up or down, respectively.
 Asynchronous I/O, as described in FLIP-12 , which makes I/O access a less time-consuming process without adding complexity or the need for extra checkpoint coordination.
 Enhancements to the window evictor, as described in FLIP-4, to provide users with more control over how elements are evicted from a window.
 Fined-grained recovery from task failures, as described in FLIP-1, to make it possible to restart only what needs to be restarted during recovery, building on cached intermediate results.
-Unified checkpoints and savepoints, as described in FLIP-10, to allow savepoints to be triggered automatically\u0026ndash;important for program updates for the sake of error handling because savepoints allow the user to modify both the job and Flink version whereas checkpoints can only be recovered with the same job.

 Table API window aggregations, as described in FLIP-11, to support group-window and row-window aggregates on streaming and batch tables.
 Side inputs, as described in this design document, to enable the joining of a main, high-throughput stream with one more more inputs with static or slowly-changing data.
-If you\u0026rsquo;re interested in getting involved with Flink, we encourage you to take a look at the FLIPs and to join the discussion via the Flink mailing lists.
-Lastly, we\u0026rsquo;d like to extend a sincere thank you to all of the Flink community for making 2016 a great year!

This year's event will include 2 days of talks from stream processing experts at Google, MapR, Alibaba, Netflix, Cloudera, and more. Following the talks is a full day of hands-on Flink training.
 Ted Dunning has been announced as a keynote speaker at the event. Ted is the VP of Incubator at Apache Software Foundation, the Chief Application Architect at MapR Technologies, and a mentor on many recent projects. He'll present "How Can We Take Flink Forward?" on the second day of the conference.
 Following Ted's keynote there will be a panel discussion on "Large Scale Streaming in Production". As stream processing systems become more mainstream, companies are looking to empower their users to take advantage of this technology. We welcome leading stream processing experts Xiaowei Jiang (Alibaba), Monal Daxini (Netflix), Maxim Fateev (Uber), and Ted Dunning (MapR Technologies) on stage to talk about the challenges they have faced and the solutions they have discovered while implementing stream processing systems at very large scale. The panel will be moderated by Jamie Grier (data Artisans).
 The welcome keynote on Monday, September 12, will be presented by data Artisans' co-founders Kostas Tzoumas and Stephan Ewen. They will talk about "The maturing data streaming ecosystem and Apache Flink’s accelerated growth". In this talk, Kostas and Stephan discuss several large-scale stream processing use cases that the data Artisans team has seen over the past year.
 And one more recent addition to the program: Maxim Fateev of Uber will present "Beyond the Watermark: On-Demand Backfilling in Flink". Flink’s time-progress model is built around a single watermark, which is incompatible with Uber’s business need for generating aggregates retroactively. Maxim's talk covers Uber's solution for on-demand backfilling.

 This release is the first major release in the 1.X.X series of releases, which maintains API compatibility with 1.0.0. This means that your applications written against stable APIs of Flink 1.0.0 will compile and run with Flink 1.1.0. 95 contributors provided bug fixes, improvements, and new features such that in total more than 450 JIRA issues could be resolved. See the complete changelog for more details.
 We encourage everyone to download the release and check out the documentation. Feedback through the Flink mailing lists is, as always, very welcome!
 Some highlights of the release are listed in the following sections.
-Connectors # The streaming connectors are a major part of Flink\u0026rsquo;s DataStream API. This release adds support for new external systems and further improves on the available connectors.

 Continuous File System Sources # A frequently requested feature for Flink 1.0 was to be able to monitor directories and process files continuously. Flink 1.1 now adds support for this via FileProcessingModes:
-DataStream\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; stream = env.readFile( textInputFormat, \u0026#34;hdfs:///file-path\u0026#34;, FileProcessingMode.PROCESS_CONTINUOUSLY, 5000, // monitoring interval (millis) FilePathFilter.createDefaultFilter()); // file path filter This will monitor hdfs:///file-path every 5000 milliseconds. Check out the DataSource documentation for more details.

Check out the DataSource documentation for more details.
 Kinesis Source and Sink # Flink 1.1 adds a Kinesis connector for both consuming (FlinkKinesisConsumer) from and producing (FlinkKinesisProduer) to Amazon Kinesis Streams, which is a managed service purpose-built to make it easy to work with streaming data on AWS.
-DataStream\u0026lt;String\u0026gt; kinesis = env.addSource( new FlinkKinesisConsumer\u0026lt;\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;stream-name\u0026#34;, schema, config)); Check out the Kinesis connector documentation for more details.
+DataStream&lt;String&gt; kinesis = env.addSource( new FlinkKinesisConsumer&lt;&gt;(&#34;stream-name&#34;, schema, config)); Check out the Kinesis connector documentation for more details.
 Cassandra Sink # The Apache Cassandra sink allows you to write from Flink to Cassandra. Flink can provide exactly-once guarantees if the query is idempotent, meaning it can be applied multiple times without changing the result.
 CassandraSink.addSink(input) Check out the Cassandra Sink documentation for more details.
 Table API and SQL # The Table API is a SQL-like expression language for relational stream and batch processing that can be easily embedded in Flink’s DataSet and DataStream APIs (for both Java and Scala).
-Table custT = tableEnv .toTable(custDs, \u0026#34;name, zipcode\u0026#34;) .where(\u0026#34;zipcode = \u0026#39;12345\u0026#39;\u0026#34;) .select(\u0026#34;name\u0026#34;) An initial version of this API was already available in Flink 1.0. For Flink 1.1, the community put a lot of work into reworking the architecture of the Table API and integrating it with Apache Calcite.
+Table custT = tableEnv .toTable(custDs, &#34;name, zipcode&#34;) .where(&#34;zipcode = &#39;12345&#39;&#34;) .select(&#34;name&#34;) An initial version of this API was already available in Flink 1.0. For Flink 1.1, the community put a lot of work into reworking the architecture of the Table API and integrating it with Apache Calcite.
 In this first version, SQL (and Table API) queries on streams are limited to selection, filter, and union operators. Compared to Flink 1.0, the revised Table API supports many more scalar functions and is able to read tables from external sources and write them back to external sinks.
-Table result = tableEnv.sql( \u0026#34;SELECT STREAM product, amount FROM Orders WHERE product LIKE \u0026#39;%Rubber%\u0026#39;\u0026#34;); A more detailed introduction can be found in the Flink blog and the Table API documentation.

 DataStream API # The DataStream API now exposes session windows and allowed lateness as first-class citizens.
 Session Windows # Session windows are ideal for cases where the window boundaries need to adjust to the incoming data. This enables you to have windows that start at individual points in time for each key and that end once there has been a certain period of inactivity. The configuration parameter is the session gap that specifies how long to wait for new data before considering a session as closed.
-input.keyBy(\u0026lt;key selector\u0026gt;) .window(EventTimeSessionWindows.withGap(Time.minutes(10))) .\u0026lt;windowed transformation\u0026gt;(\u0026lt;window function\u0026gt;); Support for Late Elements # You can now specify how a windowed transformation should deal with late elements and how much lateness is allowed. The parameter for this is called allowed lateness. This specifies by how much time elements can be late.
-input.keyBy(\u0026lt;key selector\u0026gt;).window(\u0026lt;window assigner\u0026gt;) .allowedLateness(\u0026lt;time\u0026gt;) .\u0026lt;windowed transformation\u0026gt;(\u0026lt;window function\u0026gt;); Elements that arrive within the allowed lateness are still put into windows and are considered when computing window results. If elements arrive after the allowed lateness they will be dropped. Flink will also make sure that any state held by the windowing operation is garbage collected once the watermark passes the end of a window plus the allowed lateness.

 Scala API for Complex Event Processing (CEP) # Flink 1.0 added the initial version of the CEP library. The core of the library is a Pattern API, which allows you to easily specify patterns to match against in your event stream. While in Flink 1.0 this API was only available for Java, Flink 1.1. now exposes the same API for Scala, allowing you to specify your event patterns in a more concise manner.
 A more detailed introduction can be found in the Flink blog and the CEP documentation.
 Graph generators and new Gelly library algorithms # This release includes many enhancements and new features for graph processing. Gelly now provides a collection of scalable graph generators for common graph types, such as complete, cycle, grid, hypercube, and RMat graphs. A variety of new graph algorithms have been added to the Gelly library, including Global and Local Clustering Coefficient, HITS, and similarity measures (Jaccard and Adamic-Adar).
 For a full list of new graph processing features, check out the Gelly documentation.
 Metrics # Flink’s new metrics system allows you to easily gather and expose metrics from your user application to external systems. You can add counters, gauges, and histograms to your application via the runtime context:
-Counter counter = getRuntimeContext() .getMetricGroup() .counter(\u0026#34;my-counter\u0026#34;); All registered metrics will be exposed via reporters. Out of the box, Flinks comes with support for JMX, Ganglia, Graphite, and statsD. In addition to your custom metrics, Flink exposes many internal metrics like checkpoint sizes and JVM stats.

 In the meantime, stream processing has taken off in the industry. We are witnessing a rapidly growing interest in stream processing which is reflected by prevalent deployments of streaming processing infrastructure such as Apache Kafka and Apache Flink. The increasing number of available data streams results in a demand for people that can analyze streaming data and turn it into real-time insights. However, stream data analysis requires a special skill set including knowledge of streaming concepts such as the characteristics of unbounded streams, windows, time, and state as well as the skills to implement stream analysis jobs usually against Java or Scala APIs. People with this skill set are rare and hard to find.
 About six months ago, the Apache Flink community started an effort to add a SQL interface for stream data analysis. SQL is the standard language to access and process data. Everybody who occasionally analyzes data is familiar with SQL. Consequently, a SQL interface for stream data processing will make this technology accessible to a much wider audience. Moreover, SQL support for streaming data will also enable new use cases such as interactive and ad-hoc stream analysis and significantly simplify many applications including stream ingestion and simple transformations. In this blog post, we report on the current status, architectural design, and future plans of the Apache Flink community to implement support for SQL as a language for analyzing data streams.
 Where did we come from? # With the 0.9.0-milestone1 release, Apache Flink added an API to process relational data with SQL-like expressions called the Table API. The central concept of this API is a Table, a structured data set or stream on which relational operations can be applied. The Table API is tightly integrated with the DataSet and DataStream API. A Table can be easily created from a DataSet or DataStream and can also be converted back into a DataSet or DataStream as the following example shows
-val execEnv = ExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment val tableEnv = TableEnvironment.getTableEnvironment(execEnv) // obtain a DataSet from somewhere val tempData: DataSet[(String, Long, Double)] = // convert the DataSet to a Table val tempTable: Table = tempData.toTable(tableEnv, \u0026#39;location, \u0026#39;time, \u0026#39;tempF) // compute your result val avgTempCTable: Table = tempTable .where(\u0026#39;location.like(\u0026#34;room%\u0026#34;)) .select( (\u0026#39;time / (3600 * 24)) as \u0026#39;day, \u0026#39;Location as \u0026#39;room, ((\u0026#39;tempF - 32) * 0.556) as \u0026#39;tempC ) .groupBy(\u0026#39;day, \u0026#39;room) .select(\u0026#39;day, \u0026#39;room, \u0026#39;tempC.avg as \u0026#39;avgTempC) // convert result Table back into a DataSet and print it avgTempCTable.toDataSet[Row].print() Although the example shows Scala code, there is also an equivalent Java version of the Table API. The following picture depicts the original architecture of the Table API.
-A Table is created from a DataSet or DataStream and transformed into a new Table by applying relational transformations such as filter, join, or select on them. Internally, a logical table operator tree is constructed from the applied Table transformations. When a Table is translated back into a DataSet or DataStream, the respective translator translates the logical operator tree into DataSet or DataStream operators. Expressions like 'location.like(\u0026quot;room%\u0026quot;) are compiled into Flink functions via code generation.
+val execEnv = ExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment val tableEnv = TableEnvironment.getTableEnvironment(execEnv) // obtain a DataSet from somewhere val tempData: DataSet[(String, Long, Double)] = // convert the DataSet to a Table val tempTable: Table = tempData.toTable(tableEnv, &#39;location, &#39;time, &#39;tempF) // compute your result val avgTempCTable: Table = tempTable .where(&#39;location.like(&#34;room%&#34;)) .select( (&#39;time / (3600 * 24)) as &#39;day, &#39;Location as &#39;room, ((&#39;tempF - 32) * 0.556) as &#39;tempC ) .groupBy(&#39;day, &#39;room) .select(&#39;day, &#39;room, &#39;tempC.avg as &#39;avgTempC) // convert result Table back into a DataSet and print it avgTempCTable.toDataSet[Row].print() Although the example shows Scala code, there is also an equivalent Java version of the Table API.

 However, the original Table API had a few limitations. First of all, it could not stand alone. Table API queries had to be always embedded into a DataSet or DataStream program. Queries against batch Tables did not support outer joins, sorting, and many scalar functions which are commonly used in SQL queries. Queries against streaming tables only supported filters, union, and projections and no aggregations or joins. Also, the translation process did not leverage query optimization techniques except for the physical optimization that is applied to all DataSet programs.
-Table API joining forces with SQL # The discussion about adding support for SQL came up a few times in the Flink community. With Flink 0.9 and the availability of the Table API, code generation for relational expressions, and runtime operators, the foundation for such an extension seemed to be there and SQL support the next logical step. On the other hand, the community was also well aware of the multitude of dedicated \u0026ldquo;SQL-on-Hadoop\u0026rdquo; solutions in the open source landscape (Apache Hive, Apache Drill, Apache Impala, Apache Tajo, just to name a few). Given these alternatives, we figured that time would be better spent improving Flink in other ways than implementing yet another SQL-on-Hadoop solution.
-However, with the growing popularity of stream processing and the increasing adoption of Flink in this area, the Flink community saw the need for a simpler API to enable more users to analyze streaming data. About half a year ago, we decided to take the Table API to the next level, extend the stream processing capabilities of the Table API, and add support for SQL on streaming data. What we came up with was a revised architecture for a Table API that supports SQL (and Table API) queries on streaming and static data sources. We did not want to reinvent the wheel and decided to build the new Table API on top of Apache Calcite, a popular SQL parser and optimizer framework. Apache Calcite is used by many projects including Apache Hive, Apache Drill, Cascading, and many more. Moreover, the Calcite community put SQL on streams on their roadmap which makes it a perfect fit for Flink\u0026rsquo;s SQL interface.

 Calcite is central in the new design as the following architecture sketch shows:
-The new architecture features two integrated APIs to specify relational queries, the Table API and SQL. Queries of both APIs are validated against a catalog of registered tables and converted into Calcite\u0026rsquo;s representation for logical plans. In this representation, stream and batch queries look exactly the same. Next, Calcite\u0026rsquo;s cost-based optimizer applies transformation rules and optimizes the logical plans. Depending on the nature of the sources (streaming or static) we use different rule sets. Finally, the optimized plan is translated into a regular Flink DataStream or DataSet program. This step involves again code generation to compile relational expressions into Flink functions.
-The new architecture of the Table API maintains the basic principles of the original Table API and improves it. It keeps a uniform interface for relational queries on streaming and static data. In addition, we take advantage of Calcite\u0026rsquo;s query optimization framework and SQL parser. The design builds upon Flink\u0026rsquo;s established APIs, i.e., the DataStream API that offers low-latency, high-throughput stream processing with exactly-once semantics and consistent results due to event-time processing, and the DataSet API with robust and efficient in-memory operators and pipelined data exchange. Any improvements to Flink\u0026rsquo;s core APIs and engine will automatically improve the execution of Table API and SQL queries.
-With this effort, we are adding SQL support for both streaming and static data to Flink. However, we do not want to see this as a competing solution to dedicated, high-performance SQL-on-Hadoop solutions, such as Impala, Drill, and Hive. Instead, we see the sweet spot of Flink\u0026rsquo;s SQL integration primarily in providing access to streaming analytics to a wider audience. In addition, it will facilitate integrated applications that use Flink\u0026rsquo;s API\u0026rsquo;s as well as SQL while being executed on a single runtime engine.
-How will Flink\u0026rsquo;s SQL on streams look like? # So far we discussed the motivation for and architecture of Flink\u0026rsquo;s stream SQL interface, but how will it actually look like? The new SQL interface is integrated into the Table API. DataStreams, DataSets, and external data sources can be registered as tables at the TableEnvironment in order to make them queryable with SQL. The TableEnvironment.sql() method states a SQL query and returns its result as a Table. The following example shows a complete program that reads a streaming table from a JSON encoded Kafka topic, processes it with a SQL query and writes the resulting stream into another Kafka topic. Please note that the KafkaJsonSource and KafkaJsonSink are under development and not available yet. In the future, TableSources and TableSinks can be persisted to and loaded from files to ease reuse of source and sink definitions and to reduce boilerplate code.
-// get environments val execEnv = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment val tableEnv = TableEnvironment.getTableEnvironment(execEnv) // configure Kafka connection val kafkaProps = ... // define a JSON encoded Kafka topic as external table val sensorSource = new KafkaJsonSource[(String, Long, Double)]( \u0026#34;sensorTopic\u0026#34;, kafkaProps, (\u0026#34;location\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;time\u0026#34;, \u0026#34;tempF\u0026#34;)) // register external table tableEnv.registerTableSource(\u0026#34;sensorData\u0026#34;, sensorSource) // define query in external table val roomSensors: Table = tableEnv.sql( \u0026#34;SELECT STREAM time, location AS room, (tempF - 32) * 0.556 AS tempC \u0026#34; + \u0026#34;FROM sensorData \u0026#34; + \u0026#34;WHERE location LIKE \u0026#39;room%\u0026#39;\u0026#34; ) // define a JSON encoded Kafka topic as external sink val roomSensorSink = new KafkaJsonSink(...) // define sink for room sensor data and execute query roomSensors.toSink(roomSensorSink) execEnv.execute() You might have noticed that this example left out the most interesting aspects of stream data processing: window aggregates and joins. How will these operations be expressed in SQL? Well, that is a very good question. The Apache Calcite community put out an excellent proposal that discusses the syntax and semantics of SQL on streams. It describes Calcite’s stream SQL as \u0026ldquo;an extension to standard SQL, not another ‘SQL-like’ language\u0026rdquo;. This has several benefits. First, people who are familiar with standard SQL will be able to analyze data streams without learning a new syntax. Queries on static tables and streams are (almost) identical and can be easily ported. Moreover it is possible to specify queries that reference static and streaming tables at the same time which goes well together with Flink’s vision to handle batch processing as a special case of stream processing, i.e., as processing finite streams. Finally, using standard SQL for stream data analysis means following a well established standard that is supported by many tools.

 Although we haven’t completely fleshed out the details of how windows will be defined in Flink’s SQL syntax and Table API, the following examples show how a tumbling window query could look like in SQL and the Table API.
-SQL (following the syntax proposal of Calcite’s streaming SQL document) # SELECT STREAM TUMBLE_END(time, INTERVAL \u0026#39;1\u0026#39; DAY) AS day, location AS room, AVG((tempF - 32) * 0.556) AS avgTempC FROM sensorData WHERE location LIKE \u0026#39;room%\u0026#39; GROUP BY TUMBLE(time, INTERVAL \u0026#39;1\u0026#39; DAY), location Table API # val avgRoomTemp: Table = tableEnv.ingest(\u0026#34;sensorData\u0026#34;) .where(\u0026#39;location.like(\u0026#34;room%\u0026#34;)) .partitionBy(\u0026#39;location) .window(Tumbling every Days(1) on \u0026#39;time as \u0026#39;w) .select(\u0026#39;w.end, \u0026#39;location, , ((\u0026#39;tempF - 32) * 0.556).avg as \u0026#39;avgTempCs) What\u0026rsquo;s up next? # The Flink community is actively working on SQL support for the next minor version Flink 1.1.0. In the first version, SQL (and Table API) queries on streams will be limited to selection, filter, and union operators. Compared to Flink 1.0.0, the revised Table API will support many more scalar functions and be able to read tables from external sources and write them back to external sinks. A lot of work went into reworking the architecture of the Table API and integrating Apache Calcite.
-In Flink 1.2.0, the feature set of SQL on streams will be significantly extended. Among other things, we plan to support different types of window aggregates and maybe also streaming joins. For this effort, we want to closely collaborate with the Apache Calcite community and help extending Calcite\u0026rsquo;s support for relational operations on streaming data when necessary.

Being able to react quickly to changing trends or to deliver up to date business intelligence can be a decisive factor for a company’s success or failure. A key problem in real time processing is the detection of event patterns in data streams.
 Complex event processing (CEP) addresses exactly this problem of matching continuously incoming events against a pattern. The result of a matching are usually complex events which are derived from the input events. In contrast to traditional DBMSs where a query is executed on stored data, CEP executes data on a stored query. All data which is not relevant for the query can be immediately discarded. The advantages of this approach are obvious, given that CEP queries are applied on a potentially infinite stream of data. Furthermore, inputs are processed immediately. Once the system has seen all events for a matching sequence, results are emitted straight away. This aspect effectively leads to CEP’s real time analytics capability.
 Consequently, CEP’s processing paradigm drew significant interest and found application in a wide variety of use cases. Most notably, CEP is used nowadays for financial applications such as stock market trend and credit card fraud detection. Moreover, it is used in RFID-based tracking and monitoring, for example, to detect thefts in a warehouse where items are not properly checked out. CEP can also be used to detect network intrusion by specifying patterns of suspicious user behaviour.
 Apache Flink with its true streaming nature and its capabilities for low latency as well as high throughput stream processing is a natural fit for CEP workloads. Consequently, the Flink community has introduced the first version of a new CEP library with Flink 1.0. In the remainder of this blog post, we introduce Flink’s CEP library and we illustrate its ease of use through the example of monitoring a data center.
 Monitoring and alert generation for data centers # Assume we have a data center with a number of racks. For each rack the power consumption and the temperature are monitored. Whenever such a measurement takes place, a new power or temperature event is generated, respectively. Based on this monitoring event stream, we want to detect racks that are about to overheat, and dynamically adapt their workload and cooling.
 For this scenario we use a two staged approach. First, we monitor the temperature events. Whenever we see two consecutive events whose temperature exceeds a threshold value, we generate a temperature warning with the current average temperature. A temperature warning does not necessarily indicate that a rack is about to overheat. But whenever we see two consecutive warnings with increasing temperatures, then we want to issue an alert for this rack. This alert can then lead to countermeasures to cool the rack.
 Implementation with Apache Flink # First, we define the messages of the incoming monitoring event stream. Every monitoring message contains its originating rack ID. The temperature event additionally contains the current temperature and the power consumption event contains the current voltage. We model the events as POJOs:

This will give us a DataStream&lt;MonitoringEvent&gt; inputEventStream which we will use as the input for Flink’s CEP operator. But first, we have to define the event pattern to detect temperature warnings. The CEP library offers an intuitive Pattern API to easily define these complex patterns.
 Every pattern consists of a sequence of events which can have optional filter conditions assigned. A pattern always starts with a first event to which we will assign the name “First Event”.
-Pattern.\u0026lt;MonitoringEvent\u0026gt;begin(\u0026#34;First Event\u0026#34;); This pattern will match every monitoring event. Since we are only interested in TemperatureEvents whose temperature is above a threshold value, we have to add an additional subtype constraint and a where clause:
-Pattern.\u0026lt;MonitoringEvent\u0026gt;begin(\u0026#34;First Event\u0026#34;) .subtype(TemperatureEvent.class) .where(evt -\u0026gt; evt.getTemperature() \u0026gt;= TEMPERATURE_THRESHOLD); As stated before, we want to generate a TemperatureWarning if and only if we see two consecutive TemperatureEvents for the same rack whose temperatures are too high. The Pattern API offers the next call which allows us to add a new event to our pattern. This event has to follow directly the first matching event in order for the whole pattern to match.
-Pattern\u0026lt;MonitoringEvent, ?\u0026gt; warningPattern = Pattern.\u0026lt;MonitoringEvent\u0026gt;begin(\u0026#34;First Event\u0026#34;) .subtype(TemperatureEvent.class) .where(evt -\u0026gt; evt.getTemperature() \u0026gt;= TEMPERATURE_THRESHOLD) .next(\u0026#34;Second Event\u0026#34;) .subtype(TemperatureEvent.class) .where(evt -\u0026gt; evt.getTemperature() \u0026gt;= TEMPERATURE_THRESHOLD) .within(Time.seconds(10)); The final pattern definition also contains the within API call which defines that two consecutive TemperatureEvents have to occur within a time interval of 10 seconds for the pattern to match. Depending on the time characteristic setting, this can either be processing, ingestion or event time.
+Pattern.&lt;MonitoringEvent&gt;begin(&#34;First Event&#34;); This pattern will match every monitoring event. Since we are only interested in TemperatureEvents whose temperature is above a threshold value, we have to add an additional subtype constraint and a where clause:
+Pattern.&lt;MonitoringEvent&gt;begin(&#34;First Event&#34;) .subtype(TemperatureEvent.class) .where(evt -&gt; evt.getTemperature() &gt;= TEMPERATURE_THRESHOLD); As stated before, we want to generate a TemperatureWarning if and only if we see two consecutive TemperatureEvents for the same rack whose temperatures are too high. The Pattern API offers the next call which allows us to add a new event to our pattern. This event has to follow directly the first matching event in order for the whole pattern to match.
+Pattern&lt;MonitoringEvent, ?&gt; warningPattern = Pattern.&lt;MonitoringEvent&gt;begin(&#34;First Event&#34;) .subtype(TemperatureEvent.class) .where(evt -&gt; evt.getTemperature() &gt;= TEMPERATURE_THRESHOLD) .next(&#34;Second Event&#34;) .subtype(TemperatureEvent.class) .where(evt -&gt; evt.getTemperature() &gt;= TEMPERATURE_THRESHOLD) .within(Time.seconds(10)); The final pattern definition also contains the within API call which defines that two consecutive TemperatureEvents have to occur within a time interval of 10 seconds for the pattern to match. Depending on the time characteristic setting, this can either be processing, ingestion or event time.
 Having defined the event pattern, we can now apply it on the inputEventStream.
-PatternStream\u0026lt;MonitoringEvent\u0026gt; tempPatternStream = CEP.pattern( inputEventStream.keyBy(\u0026#34;rackID\u0026#34;), warningPattern); Since we want to generate our warnings for each rack individually, we keyBy the input event stream by the “rackID” POJO field. This enforces that matching events of our pattern will all have the same rack ID.
-The PatternStream\u0026lt;MonitoringEvent\u0026gt; gives us access to successfully matched event sequences. They can be accessed using the select API call. The select API call takes a PatternSelectFunction which is called for every matching event sequence. The event sequence is provided as a Map\u0026lt;String, MonitoringEvent\u0026gt; where each MonitoringEvent is identified by its assigned event name. Our pattern select function generates for each matching pattern a TemperatureWarning event.
-public class TemperatureWarning { private int rackID; private double averageTemperature; ... } DataStream\u0026lt;TemperatureWarning\u0026gt; warnings = tempPatternStream.select( (Map\u0026lt;String, MonitoringEvent\u0026gt; pattern) -\u0026gt; { TemperatureEvent first = (TemperatureEvent) pattern.get(\u0026#34;First Event\u0026#34;); TemperatureEvent second = (TemperatureEvent) pattern.get(\u0026#34;Second Event\u0026#34;); return new TemperatureWarning( first.getRackID(), (first.getTemperature() + second.getTemperature()) / 2); } ); Now we have generated a new complex event stream DataStream\u0026lt;TemperatureWarning\u0026gt; warnings from the initial monitoring event stream. This complex event stream can again be used as the input for another round of complex event processing. We use the TemperatureWarnings to generate TemperatureAlerts whenever we see two consecutive TemperatureWarnings for the same rack with increasing temperatures. The TemperatureAlerts have the following definition:
+PatternStream&lt;MonitoringEvent&gt; tempPatternStream = CEP.pattern( inputEventStream.keyBy(&#34;rackID&#34;), warningPattern); Since we want to generate our warnings for each rack individually, we keyBy the input event stream by the “rackID” POJO field. This enforces that matching events of our pattern will all have the same rack ID.

This complex event stream can again be used as the input for another round of complex event processing. We use the TemperatureWarnings to generate TemperatureAlerts whenever we see two consecutive TemperatureWarnings for the same rack with increasing temperatures. The TemperatureAlerts have the following definition:
 public class TemperatureAlert { private int rackID; ... } At first, we have to define our alert event pattern:
-Pattern\u0026lt;TemperatureWarning, ?\u0026gt; alertPattern = Pattern.\u0026lt;TemperatureWarning\u0026gt;begin(\u0026#34;First Event\u0026#34;) .next(\u0026#34;Second Event\u0026#34;) .within(Time.seconds(20)); This definition says that we want to see two TemperatureWarnings within 20 seconds. The first event has the name “First Event” and the second consecutive event has the name “Second Event”. The individual events don’t have a where clause assigned, because we need access to both events in order to decide whether the temperature is increasing. Therefore, we apply the filter condition in the select clause. But first, we obtain again a PatternStream.
-PatternStream\u0026lt;TemperatureWarning\u0026gt; alertPatternStream = CEP.pattern( warnings.keyBy(\u0026#34;rackID\u0026#34;), alertPattern); Again, we keyBy the warnings input stream by the \u0026quot;rackID\u0026quot; so that we generate our alerts for each rack individually. Next we apply the flatSelect method which will give us access to matching event sequences and allows us to output an arbitrary number of complex events. Thus, we will only generate a TemperatureAlert if and only if the temperature is increasing.
-DataStream\u0026lt;TemperatureAlert\u0026gt; alerts = alertPatternStream.flatSelect( (Map\u0026lt;String, TemperatureWarning\u0026gt; pattern, Collector\u0026lt;TemperatureAlert\u0026gt; out) -\u0026gt; { TemperatureWarning first = pattern.get(\u0026#34;First Event\u0026#34;); TemperatureWarning second = pattern.get(\u0026#34;Second Event\u0026#34;); if (first.getAverageTemperature() \u0026lt; second.getAverageTemperature()) { out.collect(new TemperatureAlert(first.getRackID())); } }); The DataStream\u0026lt;TemperatureAlert\u0026gt; alerts is the data stream of temperature alerts for each rack. Based on these alerts we can now adapt the workload or cooling for overheating racks.
+Pattern&lt;TemperatureWarning, ?&gt; alertPattern = Pattern.&lt;TemperatureWarning&gt;begin(&#34;First Event&#34;) .next(&#34;Second Event&#34;) .within(Time.seconds(20)); This definition says that we want to see two TemperatureWarnings within 20 seconds. The first event has the name “First Event” and the second consecutive event has the name “Second Event”. The individual events don’t have a where clause assigned, because we need access to both events in order to decide whether the temperature is increasing. Therefore, we apply the filter condition in the select clause. But first, we obtain again a PatternStream.
+PatternStream&lt;TemperatureWarning&gt; alertPatternStream = CEP.pattern( warnings.keyBy(&#34;rackID&#34;), alertPattern); Again, we keyBy the warnings input stream by the &quot;rackID&quot; so that we generate our alerts for each rack individually. Next we apply the flatSelect method which will give us access to matching event sequences and allows us to output an arbitrary number of complex events. Thus, we will only generate a TemperatureAlert if and only if the temperature is increasing.
+DataStream&lt;TemperatureAlert&gt; alerts = alertPatternStream.flatSelect( (Map&lt;String, TemperatureWarning&gt; pattern, Collector&lt;TemperatureAlert&gt; out) -&gt; { TemperatureWarning first = pattern.get(&#34;First Event&#34;); TemperatureWarning second = pattern.get(&#34;Second Event&#34;); if (first.getAverageTemperature() &lt; second.getAverageTemperature()) { out.collect(new TemperatureAlert(first.getRackID())); } }); The DataStream&lt;TemperatureAlert&gt; alerts is the data stream of temperature alerts for each rack. Based on these alerts we can now adapt the workload or cooling for overheating racks.
 The full source code for the presented example as well as an example data source which generates randomly monitoring events can be found in this repository.
 Conclusion # In this blog post we have seen how easy it is to reason about event streams using Flink’s CEP library. Using the example of monitoring and alert generation for a data center, we have implemented a short program which notifies us when a rack is about to overheat and potentially to fail.
 In the future, the Flink community will further extend the CEP library’s functionality and expressiveness. Next on the road map is support for a regular expression-like pattern specification, including Kleene star, lower and upper bounds, and negation. Furthermore, it is planned to allow the where-clause to access fields of previously matched events. This feature will allow to prune unpromising event sequences early.
 Note: The example code requires Flink 1.0.1 or higher.

 Interface stability annotations # Flink 1.0.0 introduces interface stability annotations for API classes and methods. Interfaces defined as @Public are guaranteed to remain stable across all releases of the 1.x series. The @PublicEvolving annotation marks API features that may be subject to change in future versions.
-Flink\u0026rsquo;s stability annotations will help users to implement applications that compile and execute unchanged against future versions of Flink 1.x. This greatly reduces the complexity for users when upgrading to a newer Flink release.

 Out-of-core state support # Flink 1.0.0 adds a new state backend that uses RocksDB to store state (both windows and user-defined key-value state). RocksDB is an embedded key/value store database, originally developed by Facebook. When using this backend, active state in streaming programs can grow well beyond memory. The RocksDB files are stored in a distributed file system such as HDFS or S3 for backups.
 Savepoints and version upgrades # Savepoints are checkpoints of the state of a running streaming job that can be manually triggered by the user while the job is running. Savepoints solve several production headaches, including code upgrades (both application and framework), cluster maintenance and migration, A/B testing and what-if scenarios, as well as testing and debugging. Read more about savepoints at the data Artisans blog.
 Library for Complex Event Processing (CEP) # Complex Event Processing has been one of the oldest and more important use cases from stream processing. The new CEP functionality in Flink allows you to use a distributed general-purpose stream processor instead of a specialized CEP system to detect complex patterns in event streams. Get started with CEP on Flink.

 The checkpoint coordinator now exposes statistics through our REST monitoring API and the web interface. Users can review the checkpoint size and duration on a per-operator basis and see the last completed checkpoints. This is helpful for identifying performance issues, such as processing slowdown by the checkpoints.
 Improved Kafka connector and support for Kafka 0.9 # Flink 1.0 supports both Kafka 0.8 and 0.9. With the new release, Flink exposes Kafka metrics for the producers and the 0.9 consumer through Flink’s accumulator system. We also enhanced the existing connector for Kafka 0.8, allowing users to subscribe to multiple topics in one source.

 Overall, we have seen Flink grow in terms of functionality from an engine to one of the most complete open-source stream processing frameworks available. The community grew from a relatively small and geographically focused team, to a truly global, and one of the largest big data communities in the the Apache Software Foundation.
 We will also look at some interesting stats, including that the busiest days for Flink are Mondays (who would have thought :-).
-Community growth # Let us start with some simple statistics from Flink\u0026rsquo;s github repository. During 2015, the Flink community doubled in size, from about 75 contributors to over 150. Forks of the repository more than tripled from 160 in February 2015 to 544 in December 2015, and the number of stars of the repository almost tripled from 289 to 813.

 Although Flink started out geographically in Berlin, Germany, the community is by now spread all around the globe, with many contributors from North America, Europe, and Asia. A simple search at meetup.com for groups that mention Flink as a focus area reveals 16 meetups around the globe:
 Flink Forward 2015 # One of the highlights of the year for Flink was undoubtedly the Flink Forward conference, the first conference on Apache Flink that was held in October in Berlin. More than 250 participants (roughly half based outside Germany where the conference was held) attended more than 33 technical talks from organizations including Google, MongoDB, Bouygues Telecom, NFLabs, Euranova, RedHat, IBM, Huawei, Intel, Ericsson, Capital One, Zalando, Amadeus, the Otto Group, and ResearchGate. If you have not yet watched their talks, check out the slides and videos from Flink Forward.
 Media coverage # And of course, interest in Flink was picked up by the tech media. During 2015, articles about Flink appeared in InfoQ, ZDNet, Datanami, Infoworld (including being one of the best open source big data tools of 2015), the Gartner blog, Dataconomy, SDTimes, the MapR blog, KDnuggets, and HadoopSphere.

During 2015, the codebase almost doubled from 500,000 LOC to 900,000 LOC.
 It is interesting to see when committers commit. For Flink, Monday afternoons are by far the most popular times to commit to the repository:
 Feature timeline # So, what were the major features added to Flink and the Flink ecosystem during 2015? Here is a (non-exhaustive) chronological list:
-Roadmap for 2016 # With 2015 coming to a close, the Flink community has already started discussing Flink\u0026rsquo;s roadmap for the future. Some highlights are:
+Roadmap for 2016 # With 2015 coming to a close, the Flink community has already started discussing Flink&rsquo;s roadmap for the future. Some highlights are:
 Runtime scaling of streaming jobs: streaming jobs are running forever, and need to react to a changing environment. Runtime scaling means dynamically increasing and decreasing the parallelism of a job to sustain certain SLAs, or react to changing input throughput.
-SQL queries for static data sets and streams: building on top of Flink\u0026rsquo;s Table API, users should be able to write SQL queries for static data sets, as well as SQL queries on data streams that continuously produce new results.
+SQL queries for static data sets and streams: building on top of Flink&rsquo;s Table API, users should be able to write SQL queries for static data sets, as well as SQL queries on data streams that continuously produce new results.
 Streaming operators backed by managed memory: currently, streaming operators like user-defined state and windows are backed by JVM heap objects. Moving those to Flink managed memory will add the ability to spill to disk, GC efficiency, as well as better control over memory utilization.
 Library for detecting temporal event patterns: a common use case for stream processing is detecting patterns in an event stream with timestamps. Flink makes this possible with its support for event time, so many of these operators can be surfaced in the form of a library.
 Support for Apache Mesos, and resource-dynamic YARN support: support for both Mesos and YARN, including dynamic allocation and release of resource for more resource elasticity (for both batch and stream processing).
 Security: encrypt both the messages exchanged between TaskManagers and JobManager, as well as the connections for data exchange between workers.
 More streaming connectors, more runtime metrics, and continuous DataStream API enhancements: add support for more sources and sinks (e.g., Amazon Kinesis, Cassandra, Flume, etc), expose more metrics to the user, and provide continuous improvements to the DataStream API.
 If you are interested in these features, we highly encourage you to take a look at the current draft, and join the discussion on the Flink mailing lists.

+Apache Flink is a stream processing engine that improves upon older technologies like Storm in several dimensions, including strong consistency guarantees (&ldquo;exactly once&rdquo;), a higher level DataStream API, support for event time and a rich windowing system, as well as superior throughput with competitive low latency.
 While Flink offers several technical benefits over Storm, an existing investment on a codebase of applications developed for Storm often makes it difficult to switch engines. For these reasons, as part of the Flink 0.10 release, Flink ships with a Storm compatibility package that allows users to:
 Run unmodified Storm topologies using Apache Flink benefiting from superior performance. Embed Storm code (spouts and bolts) as operators inside Flink DataStream programs. Only minor code changes are required in order to submit the program to Flink instead of Storm. This minimizes the work for developers to run existing Storm topologies while leveraging Apache Flink’s fast and robust execution engine.
 We note that the Storm compatibility package is continuously improving and does not cover the full spectrum of Storm’s API. However, it is powerful enough to cover many use cases.
 Executing Storm topologies with Flink # The easiest way to use the Storm compatibility package is by executing a whole Storm topology in Flink. For this, you only need to replace the dependency storm-core by flink-storm in your Storm project and change two lines of code in your original Storm program.
 The following example shows a simple Storm-Word-Count-Program that can be executed in Flink. First, the program is assembled the Storm way without any code change to Spouts, Bolts, or the topology itself.
-// assemble topology, the Storm way TopologyBuilder builder = new TopologyBuilder(); builder.setSpout(\u0026#34;source\u0026#34;, new StormFileSpout(inputFilePath)); builder.setBolt(\u0026#34;tokenizer\u0026#34;, new StormBoltTokenizer()) .shuffleGrouping(\u0026#34;source\u0026#34;); builder.setBolt(\u0026#34;counter\u0026#34;, new StormBoltCounter()) .fieldsGrouping(\u0026#34;tokenizer\u0026#34;, new Fields(\u0026#34;word\u0026#34;)); builder.setBolt(\u0026#34;sink\u0026#34;, new StormBoltFileSink(outputFilePath)) .shuffleGrouping(\u0026#34;counter\u0026#34;); In order to execute the topology, we need to translate it to a FlinkTopology and submit it to a local or remote Flink cluster, very similar to submitting the application to a Storm cluster.1
-// transform Storm topology to Flink program // replaces: StormTopology topology = builder.createTopology(); FlinkTopology topology = FlinkTopology.createTopology(builder); Config conf = new Config(); if(runLocal) { // use FlinkLocalCluster instead of LocalCluster FlinkLocalCluster cluster = FlinkLocalCluster.getLocalCluster(); cluster.submitTopology(\u0026#34;WordCount\u0026#34;, conf, topology); } else { // use FlinkSubmitter instead of StormSubmitter FlinkSubmitter.submitTopology(\u0026#34;WordCount\u0026#34;, conf, topology); } As a shorter Flink-style alternative that replaces the Storm-style submission code, you can also use context-based job execution:
-// transform Storm topology to Flink program (as above) FlinkTopology topology = FlinkTopology.createTopology(builder); // executes locally by default or remotely if submitted with Flink\u0026#39;s command-line client topology.execute() After the code is packaged in a jar file (e.g., StormWordCount.jar), it can be easily submitted to Flink via
+// assemble topology, the Storm way TopologyBuilder builder = new TopologyBuilder(); builder.setSpout(&#34;source&#34;, new StormFileSpout(inputFilePath)); builder.setBolt(&#34;tokenizer&#34;, new StormBoltTokenizer()) .shuffleGrouping(&#34;source&#34;); builder.setBolt(&#34;counter&#34;, new StormBoltCounter()) .fieldsGrouping(&#34;tokenizer&#34;, new Fields(&#34;word&#34;)); builder.setBolt(&#34;sink&#34;, new StormBoltFileSink(outputFilePath)) .shuffleGrouping(&#34;counter&#34;); In order to execute the topology, we need to translate it to a FlinkTopology and submit it to a local or remote Flink cluster, very similar to submitting the application to a Storm cluster.1

 bin/flink run StormWordCount.jar The used Spouts and Bolts as well as the topology assemble code is not changed at all! Only the translation and submission step have to be changed to the Storm-API compatible Flink pendants. This allows for minimal code changes and easy adaption to Flink.
-Embedding Spouts and Bolts in Flink programs # It is also possible to use Spouts and Bolts within a regular Flink DataStream program. The compatibility package provides wrapper classes for Spouts and Bolts which are implemented as a Flink SourceFunction and StreamOperator respectively. Those wrappers automatically translate incoming Flink POJO and TupleXX records into Storm\u0026rsquo;s Tuple type and emitted Values back into either POJOs or TupleXX types for further processing by Flink operators. As Storm is type agnostic, it is required to specify the output type of embedded Spouts/Bolts manually to get a fully typed Flink streaming program.
-// use regular Flink streaming environment StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); // use Spout as source DataStream\u0026lt;Tuple1\u0026lt;String\u0026gt;\u0026gt; source = env.addSource(// Flink provided wrapper including original Spout new SpoutWrapper\u0026lt;String\u0026gt;(new FileSpout(localFilePath)), // specify output type manually TypeExtractor.getForObject(new Tuple1\u0026lt;String\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;\u0026#34;))); // FileSpout cannot be parallelized DataStream\u0026lt;Tuple1\u0026lt;String\u0026gt;\u0026gt; text = source.setParallelism(1); // further processing with Flink DataStream\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;String,Integer\u0026gt; tokens = text.flatMap(new Tokenizer()).keyBy(0); // use Bolt for counting DataStream\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;String,Integer\u0026gt; counts = tokens.transform(\u0026#34;Counter\u0026#34;, // specify output type manually TypeExtractor.getForObject(new Tuple2\u0026lt;String,Integer\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;\u0026#34;,0)) // Flink provided wrapper including original Bolt new BoltWrapper\u0026lt;String,Tuple2\u0026lt;String,Integer\u0026gt;\u0026gt;(new BoltCounter())); // write result to file via Flink sink counts.writeAsText(outputPath); // start Flink job env.execute(\u0026#34;WordCount with Spout source and Bolt counter\u0026#34;); Although some boilerplate code is needed (we plan to address this soon!), the actual embedded Spout and Bolt code can be used unmodified. We also note that the resulting program is fully typed, and type errors will be found by Flink\u0026rsquo;s type extractor even if the original Spouts and Bolts are not.
-Outlook # The Storm compatibility package is currently in beta and undergoes continuous development. We are currently working on providing consistency guarantees for stateful Bolts. Furthermore, we want to provide a better API integration for embedded Spouts and Bolts by providing a \u0026ldquo;StormExecutionEnvironment\u0026rdquo; as a special extension of Flink\u0026rsquo;s StreamExecutionEnvironment. We are also investigating the integration of Storm\u0026rsquo;s higher-level programming API Trident.
-Summary # Flink\u0026rsquo;s compatibility package for Storm allows using unmodified Spouts and Bolts within Flink. This enables you to even embed third-party Spouts and Bolts where the source code is not available. While you can embed Spouts/Bolts in a Flink program and mix-and-match them with Flink operators, running whole topologies is the easiest way to get started and can be achieved with almost no code changes.

Apache Flink is a production-ready stream processor with an easy-to-use yet very expressive API to define advanced stream analysis programs. Flink&rsquo;s API features very flexible window definitions on data streams which let it stand out among other open source stream processors.
+In this blog post, we discuss the concept of windows for stream processing, present Flink&rsquo;s built-in windows, and explain its support for custom windowing semantics.
 What are windows and what are they good for? # Consider the example of a traffic sensor that counts every 15 seconds the number of vehicles passing a certain location. The resulting stream could look like:
 If you would like to know, how many vehicles passed that location, you would simply sum the individual counts. However, the nature of a sensor stream is that it continuously produces data. Such a stream never ends and it is not possible to compute a final sum that can be returned. Instead, it is possible to compute rolling sums, i.e., return for each input event an updated sum record. This would yield a new stream of partial sums.
 However, a stream of partial sums might not be what we are looking for, because it constantly updates the count and even more important, some information such as variation over time is lost. Hence, we might want to rephrase our question and ask for the number of cars that pass the location every minute. This requires us to group the elements of the stream into finite sets, each set corresponding to sixty seconds. This operation is called a tumbling windows operation.
 Tumbling windows discretize a stream into non-overlapping windows. For certain applications it is important that windows are not disjunct because an application might require smoothed aggregates. For example, we can compute every thirty seconds the number of cars passed in the last minute. Such windows are called sliding windows.
 Defining windows on a data stream as discussed before is a non-parallel operation. This is because each element of a stream must be processed by the same window operator that decides which windows the element should be added to. Windows on a full stream are called AllWindows in Flink. For many applications, a data stream needs to be grouped into multiple logical streams on each of which a window operator can be applied. Think for example about a stream of vehicle counts from multiple traffic sensors (instead of only one sensor as in our previous example), where each sensor monitors a different location. By grouping the stream by sensor id, we can compute windowed traffic statistics for each location in parallel. In Flink, we call such partitioned windows simply Windows, as they are the common case for distributed streams. The following figure shows tumbling windows that collect two elements over a stream of (sensorId, count) pair elements.
-Generally speaking, a window defines a finite set of elements on an unbounded stream. This set can be based on time (as in our previous examples), element counts, a combination of counts and time, or some custom logic to assign elements to windows. Flink\u0026rsquo;s DataStream API provides concise operators for the most common window operations as well as a generic windowing mechanism that allows users to define very custom windowing logic. In the following we present Flink\u0026rsquo;s time and count windows before discussing its windowing mechanism in detail.

In the following we present Flink&rsquo;s time and count windows before discussing its windowing mechanism in detail.
 Time Windows # As their name suggests, time windows group stream elements by time. For example, a tumbling time window of one minute collects elements for one minute and applies a function on all elements in the window after one minute passed.
 Defining tumbling and sliding time windows in Apache Flink is very easy:
-// Stream of (sensorId, carCnt) val vehicleCnts: DataStream[(Int, Int)] = ... val tumblingCnts: DataStream[(Int, Int)] = vehicleCnts // key stream by sensorId .keyBy(0) // tumbling time window of 1 minute length .timeWindow(Time.minutes(1)) // compute sum over carCnt .sum(1) val slidingCnts: DataStream[(Int, Int)] = vehicleCnts .keyBy(0) // sliding time window of 1 minute length and 30 secs trigger interval .timeWindow(Time.minutes(1), Time.seconds(30)) .sum(1) There is one aspect that we haven\u0026rsquo;t discussed yet, namely the exact meaning of \u0026ldquo;collects elements for one minute\u0026rdquo; which boils down to the question, \u0026ldquo;How does the stream processor interpret time?\u0026rdquo;.
+// Stream of (sensorId, carCnt) val vehicleCnts: DataStream[(Int, Int)] = ... val tumblingCnts: DataStream[(Int, Int)] = vehicleCnts // key stream by sensorId .keyBy(0) // tumbling time window of 1 minute length .timeWindow(Time.minutes(1)) // compute sum over carCnt .sum(1) val slidingCnts: DataStream[(Int, Int)] = vehicleCnts .keyBy(0) // sliding time window of 1 minute length and 30 secs trigger interval .timeWindow(Time.minutes(1), Time.seconds(30)) .sum(1) There is one aspect that we haven&rsquo;t discussed yet, namely the exact meaning of &ldquo;collects elements for one minute&rdquo; which boils down to the question, &ldquo;How does the stream processor interpret time?&rdquo;.
 Apache Flink features three different notions of time, namely processing time, event time, and ingestion time.
 In processing time, windows are defined with respect to the wall clock of the machine that builds and processes a window, i.e., a one minute processing time window collects elements for exactly one minute. In event time, windows are defined with respect to timestamps that are attached to each event record. This is common for many types of events, such as log entries, sensor data, etc, where the timestamp usually represents the time at which the event occurred. Event time has several benefits over processing time. First of all, it decouples the program semantics from the actual serving speed of the source and the processing performance of system. Hence you can process historic data, which is served at maximum speed, and continuously produced data with the same program. It also prevents semantically incorrect results in case of backpressure or delays due to failure recovery. Second, event time windows compute correct results, even if events arrive out-of-order of their timestamp which is common if a data stream gathers events from distributed sources. Ingestion time is a hybrid of processing and event time. It assigns wall clock timestamps to records as soon as they arrive in the system (at the source) and continues processing with event time semantics based on the attached timestamps. Count Windows # Apache Flink also features count windows. A tumbling count window of 100 will collect 100 events in a window and evaluate the window when the 100th element has been added.
-In Flink\u0026rsquo;s DataStream API, tumbling and sliding count windows are defined as follows:
-// Stream of (sensorId, carCnt) val vehicleCnts: DataStream[(Int, Int)] = ... val tumblingCnts: DataStream[(Int, Int)] = vehicleCnts // key stream by sensorId .keyBy(0) // tumbling count window of 100 elements size .countWindow(100) // compute the carCnt sum .sum(1) val slidingCnts: DataStream[(Int, Int)] = vehicleCnts .keyBy(0) // sliding count window of 100 elements size and 10 elements trigger interval .countWindow(100, 10) .sum(1) Dissecting Flink\u0026rsquo;s windowing mechanics # Flink\u0026rsquo;s built-in time and count windows cover a wide range of common window use cases. However, there are of course applications that require custom windowing logic that cannot be addressed by Flink\u0026rsquo;s built-in windows. In order to support also applications that need very specific windowing semantics, the DataStream API exposes interfaces for the internals of its windowing mechanics. These interfaces give very fine-grained control about the way that windows are built and evaluated.

These interfaces give very fine-grained control about the way that windows are built and evaluated.
+The following figure depicts Flink&rsquo;s windowing mechanism and introduces the components being involved.
 Elements that arrive at a window operator are handed to a WindowAssigner. The WindowAssigner assigns elements to one or more windows, possibly creating new windows. A Window itself is just an identifier for a list of elements and may provide some optional meta information, such as begin and end time in case of a TimeWindow. Note that an element can be added to multiple windows, which also means that multiple windows can exist at the same time.
 Each window owns a Trigger that decides when the window is evaluated or purged. The trigger is called for each element that is inserted into the window and when a previously registered timer times out. On each event, a trigger can decide to fire (i.e., evaluate), purge (remove the window and discard its content), or fire and then purge the window. A trigger that just fires evaluates the window and keeps it as it is, i.e., all elements remain in the window and are evaluated again when the triggers fires the next time. A window can be evaluated several times and exists until it is purged. Note that a window consumes memory until it is purged.
 When a Trigger fires, the list of window elements can be given to an optional Evictor. The evictor can iterate through the list and decide to cut off some elements from the start of the list, i.e., remove some of the elements that entered the window first. The remaining elements are given to an evaluation function. If no Evictor was defined, the Trigger hands all the window elements directly to the evaluation function.
 The evaluation function receives the elements of a window (possibly filtered by an Evictor) and computes one or more result elements for the window. The DataStream API accepts different types of evaluation functions, including predefined aggregation functions such as sum(), min(), max(), as well as a ReduceFunction, FoldFunction, or WindowFunction. A WindowFunction is the most generic evaluation function and receives the window object (i.e, the metadata of the window), the list of window elements, and the window key (in case of a keyed window) as parameters.
-These are the components that constitute Flink\u0026rsquo;s windowing mechanics. We now show step-by-step how to implement custom windowing logic with the DataStream API. We start with a stream of type DataStream[IN] and key it using a key selector function that extracts a key of type KEY to obtain a KeyedStream[IN, KEY].
-val input: DataStream[IN] = ... // created a keyed stream using a key selector function val keyed: KeyedStream[IN, KEY] = input .keyBy(myKeySel: (IN) =\u0026gt; KEY) We apply a WindowAssigner[IN, WINDOW] that creates windows of type WINDOW resulting in a WindowedStream[IN, KEY, WINDOW]. In addition, a WindowAssigner also provides a default Trigger implementation.

 Conclusion # Support for various types of windows over continuous data streams is a must-have for modern stream processors. Apache Flink is a stream processor with a very strong feature set, including a very flexible mechanism to build and evaluate windows over continuous data streams. Flink provides pre-defined window operators for common uses cases as well as a toolbox that allows to define very custom windowing logic. The Flink community will add more pre-defined window operators as we learn the requirements from our users.

 For Flink 0.10.0, the focus of the community was to graduate the DataStream API from beta and to evolve Apache Flink into a production-ready stream data processor with a competitive feature set. These efforts resulted in support for event-time and out-of-order streams, exactly-once guarantees in the case of failures, a very flexible windowing mechanism, sophisticated operator state management, and a highly-available cluster operation mode. Flink 0.10.0 also brings a new monitoring dashboard with real-time system and job monitoring capabilities. Both batch and streaming modes of Flink benefit from the new high availability and improved monitoring features. Needless to say that Flink 0.10.0 includes many more features, improvements, and bug fixes.
 We encourage everyone to download the release and check out the documentation. Feedback through the Flink mailing lists is, as always, very welcome!
 New Features # Event-time Stream Processing # Many stream processing applications consume data from sources that produce events with associated timestamps such as sensor or user-interaction events. Very often, events have to be collected from several sources such that it is usually not guaranteed that events arrive in the exact order of their timestamps at the stream processor. Consequently, stream processors must take out-of-order elements into account in order to produce results which are correct and consistent with respect to the timestamps of the events. With release 0.10.0, Apache Flink supports event-time processing as well as ingestion-time and processing-time processing. See FLINK-2674 for details.

 Highly-available Cluster Operations # Stream processing applications may be live for months. Therefore, a production-ready stream processor must be highly-available and continue to process data even in the face of failures. With release 0.10.0, Flink supports high availability modes for standalone cluster and YARN setups, eliminating any single point of failure. In this mode, Flink relies on Apache Zookeeper for leader election and persisting small sized meta-data of running jobs. You can check out the documentation to see how to enable high availability. See FLINK-2287 for details.
 Graduated DataStream API # The DataStream API was revised based on user feedback and with foresight for upcoming features and graduated from beta status to fully supported. The most obvious changes are related to the methods for stream partitioning and window operations. The new windowing system is based on the concepts of window assigners, triggers, and evictors, inspired by the Dataflow Model. The new API is fully described in the DataStream API documentation. This migration guide will help to port your Flink 0.9 DataStream programs to the revised API of Flink 0.10.0. See FLINK-2674 and FLINK-2877 for details.
 New Connectors for Data Streams # Apache Flink 0.10.0 features DataStream sources and sinks for many common data producers and stores. This includes an exactly-once rolling file sink which supports any file system, including HDFS, local FS, and S3. We also updated the Apache Kafka producer to use the new producer API, and added a connectors for ElasticSearch and Apache Nifi. More connectors for DataStream programs will be added by the community in the future. See the following JIRA issues for details FLINK-2583, FLINK-2386, FLINK-2372, FLINK-2740, and FLINK-2558.
-New Web Dashboard \u0026amp; Real-time Monitoring # The 0.10.0 release features a newly designed and significantly improved monitoring dashboard for Apache Flink. The new dashboard visualizes the progress of running jobs and shows real-time statistics of processed data volumes and record counts. Moreover, it gives access to resource usage and JVM statistics of TaskManagers including JVM heap usage and garbage collection details. The following screenshot shows the job view of the new dashboard.

 The web server that provides all monitoring statistics has been designed with a REST interface allowing other systems to also access the internal system metrics. See FLINK-2357 for details.
 Off-heap Managed Memory # Flink’s internal operators (such as its sort algorithm and hash tables) write data to and read data from managed memory to achieve memory-safe operations and reduce garbage collection overhead. Until version 0.10.0, managed memory was allocated only from JVM heap memory. With this release, managed memory can also be allocated from off-heap memory. This will facilitate shorter TaskManager start-up times as well as reduce garbage collection pressure. See the documentation to learn how to configure managed memory on off-heap memory. JIRA issue FLINK-1320 contains further details.
 Outer Joins # Outer joins have been one of the most frequently requested features for Flink’s DataSet API. Although there was a workaround to implement outer joins as CoGroup function, it had significant drawbacks including added code complexity and not being fully memory-safe. With release 0.10.0, Flink adds native support for left, right, and full outer joins to the DataSet API. All outer joins are backed by a memory-safe operator implementation that leverages Flink’s managed memory. See FLINK-687 and FLINK-2107 for details.
 Gelly: Major Improvements and Scala API # Gelly is Flink’s API and library for processing and analyzing large-scale graphs. Gelly was introduced with release 0.9.0 and has been very well received by users and contributors. Based on user feedback, Gelly has been improved since then. In addition, Flink 0.10.0 introduces a Scala API for Gelly. See FLINK-2857 and FLINK-1962 for details.
 More Improvements and Fixes # The Flink community resolved more than 400 issues. The following list is a selection of new features and fixed bugs.

+In this blog post, we will look at how Flink exploits off-heap memory. The feature is part of the upcoming release, but you can try it out with the latest nightly builds. We will also give a few interesting insights into the behavior for Java&rsquo;s JIT compiler for highly optimized methods and loops.
 Recap: Memory Management in Flink # To understand Flink’s approach to off-heap memory, we need to recap Flink’s approach to custom managed memory. We have written an earlier blog post about how Flink manages JVM memory itself
 As a summary, the core part is that Flink implements its algorithms not against Java objects, arrays, or lists, but actually against a data structure similar to java.nio.ByteBuffer. Flink uses its own specialized version, called MemorySegment on which algorithms put and get at specific positions ints, longs, byte arrays, etc, and compare and copy memory. The memory segments are held and distributed by a central component (called MemoryManager) from which algorithms request segments according to their calculated memory budgets.
-Don\u0026rsquo;t believe that this can be fast? Have a look at the benchmarks in the earlier blogpost, which show that it is actually often much faster than working on objects, due to better control over data layout (cache efficiency, data size), and reducing the pressure on Java\u0026rsquo;s Garbage Collector.
-This form of memory management has been in Flink for a long time. Anecdotally, the first public demo of Flink\u0026rsquo;s predecessor project Stratosphere, at the VLDB conference in 2010, was running its programs with custom managed memory (although I believe few attendees were aware of that).
-Why actually bother with off-heap memory? # Given that Flink has a sophisticated level of managing on-heap memory, why do we even bother with off-heap memory? It is true that \u0026ldquo;out of memory\u0026rdquo; has been much less of a problem for Flink because of its heap memory management techniques. Nonetheless, there are a few good reasons to offer the possibility to move Flink\u0026rsquo;s managed memory out of the JVM heap:
-Very large JVMs (100s of GBytes heap memory) tend to be tricky. It takes long to start them (allocate and initialize heap) and garbage collection stalls can be huge (minutes). While newer incremental garbage collectors (like G1) mitigate this problem to some extend, an even better solution is to just make the heap much smaller and allocate Flink\u0026rsquo;s managed memory chunks outside the heap.

While newer incremental garbage collectors (like G1) mitigate this problem to some extend, an even better solution is to just make the heap much smaller and allocate Flink&rsquo;s managed memory chunks outside the heap.
 I/O and network efficiency: In many cases, we write MemorySegments to disk (spilling) or to the network (data transfer). Off-heap memory can be written/transferred with zero copies, while heap memory always incurs an additional memory copy.
 Off-heap memory can actually be owned by other processes. That way, cached data survives process crashes (due to user code exceptions) and can be used for recovery. Flink does not exploit that, yet, but it is interesting future work.
 The opposite question is also valid. Why should Flink ever not use off-heap memory?
 On-heap is easier and interplays better with tools. Some container environments and monitoring tools get confused when the monitored heap size does not remotely reflect the amount of memory used by the process.
 Short lived memory segments are cheaper on the heap. Flink sometimes needs to allocate some short lived buffers, which works cheaper on the heap than off-heap.
 Some operations are actually a bit faster on heap memory (or the JIT compiler understands them better).
-The off-heap Memory Implementation # Given that all memory intensive internal algorithms are already implemented against the MemorySegment, our implementation to switch to off-heap memory is actually trivial. You can compare it to replacing all ByteBuffer.allocate(numBytes) calls with ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(numBytes). In Flink\u0026rsquo;s case it meant that we made the MemorySegment abstract and added the HeapMemorySegment and OffHeapMemorySegment subclasses. The OffHeapMemorySegment takes the off-heap memory pointer from a java.nio.DirectByteBuffer and implements its specialized access methods using sun.misc.Unsafe. We also made a few adjustments to the startup scripts and the deployment code to make sure that the JVM is permitted enough off-heap memory (direct memory, -XX:MaxDirectMemorySize).
-In practice we had to go one step further, to make the implementation perform well. While the ByteBuffer is used in I/O code paths to compose headers and move bulk memory into place, the MemorySegment is part of the innermost loops of many algorithms (sorting, hash tables, \u0026hellip;). That means that the access methods have to be as fast as possible.

That means that the access methods have to be as fast as possible.
 Understanding the JIT and tuning the implementation # The MemorySegment was (before our change) a standalone class, it was final (had no subclasses). Via Class Hierarchy Analysis (CHA), the JIT compiler was able to determine that all of the accessor method calls go to one specific implementation. That way, all method calls can be perfectly de-virtualized and inlined, which is essential to performance, and the basis for all further optimizations (like vectorization of the calling loop).
 With two different memory segments loaded at the same time, the JIT compiler cannot perform the same level of optimization any more, which results in a noticeable difference in performance: A slowdown of about 2.7 x in the following example:
 Writing 100000 x 32768 bytes to 32768 bytes segment: HeapMemorySegment (standalone) : 1,441 msecs OffHeapMemorySegment (standalone) : 1,628 msecs HeapMemorySegment (subclass) : 3,841 msecs OffHeapMemorySegment (subclass) : 3,847 msecs To get back to the original performance, we explored two approaches:

 Common Graph Metrics # These methods can be used to retrieve several graph metrics and properties, such as the number of vertices, edges and the node degrees.
 Transformations # The transformation methods enable several Graph operations, using high-level functions similar to the ones provided by the batch processing API. These transformations can be applied one after the other, yielding a new Graph after each step, in a fashion similar to operators on DataSets:
 inputGraph.getUndirected().mapEdges(new CustomEdgeMapper()); Transformations can be applied on:

This provides a vertex-centric view, where each vertex can access its neighboring edges and neighbor values.
 reduceOnEdges() provides access to the neighboring edges of a vertex, i.e. the edge value and the vertex ID of the edge endpoint. In order to also access the neighboring vertices’ values, one should call the reduceOnNeighbors() function. The scope of the neighborhood is defined by the EdgeDirection parameter, which can be IN, OUT or ALL, to gather in-coming, out-going or all edges (neighbors) of a vertex.
 The two neighborhood functions mentioned above can only be used when the aggregation function is associative and commutative. In case the function does not comply with these restrictions or if it is desirable to return zero, one or more values per vertex, the more general groupReduceOnEdges() and groupReduceOnNeighbors() functions must be called.

 For running the example implementation, please use the 0.10-SNAPSHOT version of Flink as a dependency. The full example code base can be found here. The public data set used for testing can be found here. This data set contains 48,373,586 real user-id, song-id and play-count triplets.
 Note: The code snippets in this post try to reduce verbosity by skipping type parameters of generic functions. Please have a look at the full example for the correct and complete code.
 Filtering out Bad Records # After reading the (user-id, song-id, play-count) triplets from a CSV file and after parsing a text file in order to retrieve the list of songs that a user would not want to include in a playlist, we use a coGroup function to filter out the mismatches.

 Compute the Top Songs per User # As a next step, we would like to see which songs a user played more often. To this end, we build a user-song weighted, bipartite graph in which edge source vertices are users, edge target vertices are songs and where the weight represents the number of times the user listened to that certain song.
-// create a user -\u0026gt; song weighted bipartite graph where the edge weights // correspond to play counts Graph\u0026lt;String, NullValue, Integer\u0026gt; userSongGraph = Graph.fromTupleDataSet(validTriplets, env); Consult the Gelly guide for guidelines on how to create a graph from a given DataSet of edges or from a collection.

 To retrieve the top songs per user, we call the groupReduceOnEdges function as it perform an aggregation over the first hop neighborhood taking just the edges into consideration. We will basically iterate through the edge value and collect the target (song) of the maximum weight edge.

In a user-user graph, two users who listen to the same song will simply be linked together through an edge as depicted in the figure below.

In a user-user graph, two users who listen to the same song will simply be linked together through an edge as depicted in the figure below.
 To form the user-user graph in Flink, we will simply take the edges from the user-song graph (left-hand side of the image), group them by song-id, and then add all the users (source vertex ids) to an ArrayList.
 We then match users who listened to the same song two by two, creating a new edge to mark their common interest (right-hand side of the image).
 Afterwards, we perform a distinct() operation to avoid creation of duplicate data. Considering that we now have the DataSet of edges which present interest, creating a graph is as straightforward as a call to the Graph.fromDataSet() method.
-// create a user-user similarity graph: // two users that listen to the same song are connected DataSet\u0026lt;Edge\u0026gt; similarUsers = userSongGraph.getEdges() // filter out user-song edges that are below the playcount threshold .filter(new FilterFunction\u0026lt;Edge\u0026lt;String, Integer\u0026gt;\u0026gt;() { public boolean filter(Edge\u0026lt;String, Integer\u0026gt; edge) { return (edge.getValue() \u0026gt; playcountThreshold); } }) .groupBy(1) .reduceGroup(new GroupReduceFunction() { void reduce(Iterable\u0026lt;Edge\u0026gt; edges, Collector\u0026lt;Edge\u0026gt; out) { List users = new ArrayList(); for (Edge edge : edges) { users.add(edge.getSource()); for (int i = 0; i \u0026lt; users.size() - 1; i++) { for (int j = i+1; j \u0026lt; users.size() - 1; j++) { out.collect(new Edge(users.get(i), users.get(j))); } } } } }) .distinct(); Graph similarUsersGraph = Graph.fromDataSet(similarUsers).getUndirected(); After having created a user-user graph, it would make sense to detect the various communities formed. To do so, we first initialize each vertex with a numeric label using the joinWithVertices() function that takes a data set of Tuple2 as a parameter and joins the id of a vertex with the first element of the tuple, afterwards applying a map function. Finally, we call the run() method with the LabelPropagation library method passed as a parameter. In the end, the vertices will be updated to contain the most frequent label among their neighbors.

 Ongoing and Future Work # Currently, Gelly matches the basic functionalities provided by most state-of-the-art graph processing systems. Our vision is to turn Gelly into more than “yet another library for running PageRank-like algorithms” by supporting generic iterations, implementing graph partitioning, providing bipartite graph support and by offering numerous other features.
 We are also enriching Flink Gelly with a set of operators suitable for highly skewed graphs as well as a Graph API built on Flink Streaming.
 In the near future, we would like to see how Gelly can be integrated with graph visualization tools, graph database systems and sampling techniques.
 Curious? Read more about our plans for Gelly in the roadmap.

 New Features # Exactly-once Fault Tolerance for streaming programs # This release introduces a new fault tolerance mechanism for streaming dataflows. The new checkpointing algorithm takes data sources and also user-defined state into account and recovers failures such that all records are reflected exactly once in the operator states.
 The checkpointing algorithm is lightweight and driven by barriers that are periodically injected into the data streams at the sources. As such, it has an extremely low coordination overhead and is able to sustain very high throughput rates. User-defined state can be automatically backed up to configurable storage by the fault tolerance mechanism.
 Please refer to the documentation on stateful computation for details in how to use fault tolerant data streams with Flink.
 The fault tolerance mechanism requires data sources that can replay recent parts of the stream, such as Apache Kafka. Read more about how to use the persistent Kafka source.
 Table API # Flink’s new Table API offers a higher-level abstraction for interacting with structured data sources. The Table API allows users to execute logical, SQL-like queries on distributed data sets while allowing them to freely mix declarative queries with regular Flink operators. Here is an example that groups and joins two tables:
-val clickCounts = clicks .groupBy(\u0026#39;user).select(\u0026#39;userId, \u0026#39;url.count as \u0026#39;count) val activeUsers = users.join(clickCounts) .where(\u0026#39;id === \u0026#39;userId \u0026amp;\u0026amp; \u0026#39;count \u0026gt; 10).select(\u0026#39;username, \u0026#39;count, ...) Tables consist of logical attributes that can be selected by name rather than physical Java and Scala data types. This alleviates a lot of boilerplate code for common ETL tasks and raises the abstraction for Flink programs. Tables are available for both static and streaming data sources (DataSet and DataStream APIs).

 Gelly Graph Processing API # Gelly is a Java Graph API for Flink. It contains a set of utilities for graph analysis, support for iterative graph processing and a library of graph algorithms. Gelly exposes a Graph data structure that wraps DataSets for vertices and edges, as well as methods for creating graphs from DataSets, graph transformations and utilities (e.g., in- and out- degrees of vertices), neighborhood aggregations, iterative vertex-centric graph processing, as well as a library of common graph algorithms, including PageRank, SSSP, label propagation, and community detection.
 Gelly internally builds on top of Flink’s delta iterations. Iterative graph algorithms are executed leveraging mutable state, achieving similar performance with specialized graph processing systems.

 By using Flink on Tez, users have an additional choice for an execution platform for Flink programs. While Flink’s distributed runtime favors low latency, streaming shuffles, and iterative algorithms, Tez focuses on scalability and elastic resource usage in shared YARN clusters.

 Reworked Distributed Runtime on Akka # Flink’s RPC system has been replaced by the widely adopted Akka framework. Akka’s concurrency model offers the right abstraction to develop a fast as well as robust distributed system. By using Akka’s own failure detection mechanism the stability of Flink’s runtime is significantly improved, because the system can now react in proper form to node outages. Furthermore, Akka improves Flink’s scalability by introducing asynchronous messages to the system. These asynchronous messages allow Flink to be run on many more nodes than before.

Flink is now also able to reallocate failed YARN containers to maintain the size of the requested cluster. This feature allows to implement fault-tolerant setups on top of YARN. There is also an internal Java API to deploy and control a running YARN cluster. This is being used by system integrators to easily control Flink on YARN within their Hadoop 2 cluster.

Managing the JVM memory well makes the difference between a system that is hard to configure and has unpredictable reliability and performance and a system that behaves robustly with few configuration knobs.
 In this blog post we discuss how Apache Flink manages memory, talk about its custom data de/serialization stack, and show how it operates on binary data.
 Data Objects? Let’s put them on the heap! # The most straight-forward approach to process lots of data in a JVM is to put it as objects on the heap and operate on these objects. Caching a data set as objects would be as simple as maintaining a list containing an object for each record. An in-memory sort would simply sort the list of objects. However, this approach has a few notable drawbacks. First of all it is not trivial to watch and control heap memory usage when a lot of objects are created and invalidated constantly. Memory overallocation instantly kills the JVM with an OutOfMemoryError. Another aspect is garbage collection on multi-GB JVMs which are flooded with new objects. The overhead of garbage collection in such environments can easily reach 50% and more. Finally, Java objects come with a certain space overhead depending on the JVM and platform. For data sets with many small objects this can significantly reduce the effectively usable amount of memory. Given proficient system design and careful, use-case specific system parameter tuning, heap memory usage can be more or less controlled and OutOfMemoryErrors avoided. However, such setups are rather fragile especially if data characteristics or the execution environment change.
 What is Flink doing about that? # Apache Flink has its roots at a research project which aimed to combine the best technologies of MapReduce-based systems and parallel database systems. Coming from this background, Flink has always had its own way of processing data in-memory. Instead of putting lots of objects on the heap, Flink serializes objects into a fixed number of pre-allocated memory segments. Its DBMS-style sort and join algorithms operate as much as possible on this binary data to keep the de/serialization overhead at a minimum. If more data needs to be processed than can be kept in memory, Flink’s operators partially spill data to disk. In fact, a lot of Flink’s internal implementations look more like C/C++ rather than common Java. The following figure gives a high-level overview of how Flink stores data serialized in memory segments and spills to disk if necessary.
 Flink’s style of active memory management and operating on binary data has several benefits:
-Memory-safe execution \u0026amp; efficient out-of-core algorithms. Due to the fixed amount of allocated memory segments, it is trivial to monitor remaining memory resources. In case of memory shortage, processing operators can efficiently write larger batches of memory segments to disk and later them read back. Consequently, OutOfMemoryErrors are effectively prevented. Reduced garbage collection pressure. Because all long-lived data is in binary representation in Flink\u0026rsquo;s managed memory, all data objects are short-lived or even mutable and can be reused. Short-lived objects can be more efficiently garbage-collected, which significantly reduces garbage collection pressure. Right now, the pre-allocated memory segments are long-lived objects on the JVM heap, but the Flink community is actively working on allocating off-heap memory for this purpose. This effort will result in much smaller JVM heaps and facilitate even faster garbage collection cycles. Space efficient data representation. Java objects have a storage overhead which can be avoided if the data is stored in a binary representation. Efficient binary operations \u0026amp; cache sensitivity. Binary data can be efficiently compared and operated on given a suitable binary representation. Furthermore, the binary representations can put related values, as well as hash codes, keys, and pointers, adjacently into memory. This gives data structures with usually more cache efficient access patterns. These properties of active memory management are very desirable in a data processing systems for large-scale data analytics but have a significant price tag attached. Active memory management and operating on binary data is not trivial to implement, i.e., using java.util.HashMap is much easier than implementing a spillable hash-table backed by byte arrays and a custom serialization stack. Of course Apache Flink is not the only JVM-based data processing system that operates on serialized binary data. Projects such as Apache Drill, Apache Ignite (incubating) or Apache Geode (incubating) apply similar techniques and it was recently announced that also Apache Spark will evolve into this direction with Project Tungsten.

 In the following we discuss in detail how Flink allocates memory, de/serializes objects, and operates on binary data. We will also show some performance numbers comparing processing objects on the heap and operating on binary data.
 How does Flink allocate memory? # A Flink worker, called TaskManager, is composed of several internal components such as an actor system for coordination with the Flink master, an IOManager that takes care of spilling data to disk and reading it back, and a MemoryManager that coordinates memory usage. In the context of this blog post, the MemoryManager is of most interest.
 The MemoryManager takes care of allocating, accounting, and distributing MemorySegments to data processing operators such as sort and join operators. A MemorySegment is Flink’s distribution unit of memory and is backed by a regular Java byte array (size is 32 KB by default). A MemorySegment provides very efficient write and read access to its backed byte array using Java’s unsafe methods. You can think of a MemorySegment as a custom-tailored version of Java’s NIO ByteBuffer. In order to operate on multiple MemorySegments like on a larger chunk of consecutive memory, Flink uses logical views that implement Java’s java.io.DataOutput and java.io.DataInput interfaces.

 How does Flink serialize objects? # The Java ecosystem offers several libraries to convert objects into a binary representation and back. Common alternatives are standard Java serialization, Kryo, Apache Avro, Apache Thrift, or Google’s Protobuf. Flink includes its own custom serialization framework in order to control the binary representation of data. This is important because operating on binary data such as comparing or even manipulating binary data requires exact knowledge of the serialization layout. Further, configuring the serialization layout with respect to operations that are performed on binary data can yield a significant performance boost. Flink’s serialization stack also leverages the fact, that the type of the objects which are going through de/serialization are exactly known before a program is executed.
 Flink programs can process data represented as arbitrary Java or Scala objects. Before a program is optimized, the data types at each processing step of the program’s data flow need to be identified. For Java programs, Flink features a reflection-based type extraction component to analyze the return types of user-defined functions. Scala programs are analyzed with help of the Scala compiler. Flink represents each data type with a TypeInformation. Flink has TypeInformations for several kinds of data types, including:
 BasicTypeInfo: Any (boxed) Java primitive type or java.lang.String. BasicArrayTypeInfo: Any array of a (boxed) Java primitive type or java.lang.String. WritableTypeInfo: Any implementation of Hadoop’s Writable interface. TupleTypeInfo: Any Flink tuple (Tuple1 to Tuple25). Flink tuples are Java representations for fixed-length tuples with typed fields. CaseClassTypeInfo: Any Scala CaseClass (including Scala tuples). PojoTypeInfo: Any POJO (Java or Scala), i.e., an object with all fields either being public or accessible through getters and setter that follow the common naming conventions. GenericTypeInfo: Any data type that cannot be identified as another type. Each TypeInformation provides a serializer for the data type it represents. For example, a BasicTypeInfo returns a serializer that writes the respective primitive type, the serializer of a WritableTypeInfo delegates de/serialization to the write() and readFields() methods of the object implementing Hadoop’s Writable interface, and a GenericTypeInfo returns a serializer that delegates serialization to Kryo. Object serialization to a DataOutput which is backed by Flink MemorySegments goes automatically through Java’s efficient unsafe operations. For data types that can be used as keys, i.e., compared and hashed, the TypeInformation provides TypeComparators. TypeComparators compare and hash objects and can - depending on the concrete data type - also efficiently compare binary representations and extract fixed-length binary key prefixes.
-Tuple, Pojo, and CaseClass types are composite types, i.e., containers for one or more possibly nested data types. As such, their serializers and comparators are also composite and delegate the serialization and comparison of their member data types to the respective serializers and comparators. The following figure illustrates the serialization of a (nested) Tuple3\u0026lt;Integer, Double, Person\u0026gt; object where Person is a POJO and defined as follows:

The following figure illustrates the serialization of a (nested) Tuple3&lt;Integer, Double, Person&gt; object where Person is a POJO and defined as follows:
 public class Person { public int id; public String name; } Flink’s type system can be easily extended by providing custom TypeInformations, Serializers, and Comparators to improve the performance of serializing and comparing custom data types.
 How does Flink operate on binary data? # Similar to many other data processing APIs (including SQL), Flink’s APIs provide transformations to group, sort, and join data sets. These transformations operate on potentially very large data sets. Relational database systems feature very efficient algorithms for these purposes since several decades including external merge-sort, merge-join, and hybrid hash-join. Flink builds on this technology, but generalizes it to handle arbitrary objects using its custom serialization and comparison stack. In the following, we show how Flink operates with binary data by the example of Flink’s in-memory sort algorithm.
 Flink assigns a memory budget to its data processing operators. Upon initialization, a sort algorithm requests its memory budget from the MemoryManager and receives a corresponding set of MemorySegments. The set of MemorySegments becomes the memory pool of a so-called sort buffer which collects the data that is be sorted. The following figure illustrates how data objects are serialized into the sort buffer.
 The sort buffer is internally organized into two memory regions. The first region holds the full binary data of all objects. The second region contains pointers to the full binary object data and - depending on the key data type - fixed-length sort keys. When an object is added to the sort buffer, its binary data is appended to the first region, and a pointer (and possibly a key) is appended to the second region. The separation of actual data and pointers plus fixed-length keys is done for two purposes. It enables efficient swapping of fix-length entries (key+pointer) and also reduces the data that needs to be moved when sorting. If the sort key is a variable length data type such as a String, the fixed-length sort key must be a prefix key such as the first n characters of a String. Note, not all data types provide a fixed-length (prefix) sort key. When serializing objects into the sort buffer, both memory regions are extended with MemorySegments from the memory pool. Once the memory pool is empty and no more objects can be added, the sort buffer is completely filled and can be sorted. Flink’s sort buffer provides methods to compare and swap elements. This makes the actual sort algorithm pluggable. By default, Flink uses a Quicksort implementation which can fall back to HeapSort. The following figure shows how two objects are compared.
 The sort buffer compares two elements by comparing their binary fix-length sort keys. The comparison is successful if either done on a full key (not a prefix key) or if the binary prefix keys are not equal. If the prefix keys are equal (or the sort key data type does not provide a binary prefix key), the sort buffer follows the pointers to the actual object data, deserializes both objects and compares the objects. Depending on the result of the comparison, the sort algorithm decides whether to swap the compared elements or not. The sort buffer swaps two elements by moving their fix-length keys and pointers. The actual data is not moved. Once the sort algorithm finishes, the pointers in the sort buffer are correctly ordered. The following figure shows how the sorted data is returned from the sort buffer.
 The sorted data is returned by sequentially reading the pointer region of the sort buffer, skipping the sort keys and following the sorted pointers to the actual data. This data is either deserialized and returned as objects or the binary representation is copied and written to disk in case of an external merge-sort (see this blog post on joins in Flink).
-Show me numbers! # So, what does operating on binary data mean for performance? We’ll run a benchmark that sorts 10 million Tuple2\u0026lt;Integer, String\u0026gt; objects to find out. The values of the Integer field are sampled from a uniform distribution. The String field values have a length of 12 characters and are sampled from a long-tail distribution. The input data is provided by an iterator that returns a mutable object, i.e., the same tuple object instance is returned with different field values. Flink uses this technique when reading data from memory, network, or disk to avoid unnecessary object instantiations. The benchmarks are run in a JVM with 900 MB heap size which is approximately the required amount of memory to store and sort 10 million tuple objects on the heap without dying of an OutOfMemoryError. We sort the tuples on the Integer field and on the String field using three sorting methods:

The benchmarks are run in a JVM with 900 MB heap size which is approximately the required amount of memory to store and sort 10 million tuple objects on the heap without dying of an OutOfMemoryError. We sort the tuples on the Integer field and on the String field using three sorting methods:
 Object-on-heap. The tuples are stored in a regular java.util.ArrayList with initial capacity set to 10 million entries and sorted using Java’s regular collection sort. Flink-serialized. The tuple fields are serialized into a sort buffer of 600 MB size using Flink’s custom serializers, sorted as described above, and finally deserialized again. When sorting on the Integer field, the full Integer is used as sort key such that the sort happens entirely on binary data (no deserialization of objects required). For sorting on the String field a 8-byte prefix key is used and tuple objects are deserialized if the prefix keys are equal. Kryo-serialized. The tuple fields are serialized into a sort buffer of 600 MB size using Kryo serialization and sorted without binary sort keys. This means that each pair-wise comparison requires two object to be deserialized. All sort methods are implemented using a single thread. The reported times are averaged over ten runs. After each run, we call System.gc() to request a garbage collection run which does not go into measured execution time. The following figure shows the time to store the input data in memory, sort it, and read it back as objects.
 We see that Flink’s sort on binary data using its own serializers significantly outperforms the other two methods. Comparing to the object-on-heap method, we see that loading the data into memory is much faster. Since we actually collect the objects, there is no opportunity to reuse the object instances, but have to re-create every tuple. This is less efficient than Flink’s serializers (or Kryo serialization). On the other hand, reading objects from the heap comes for free compared to deserialization. In our benchmark, object cloning was more expensive than serialization and deserialization combined. Looking at the sorting time, we see that also sorting on the binary representation is faster than Java’s collection sort. Sorting data that was serialized using Kryo without binary sort key, is much slower than both other methods. This is due to the heavy deserialization overhead. Sorting the tuples on their String field is faster than sorting on the Integer field due to the long-tailed value distribution which significantly reduces the number of pair-wise comparisons. To get a better feeling of what is happening during sorting we monitored the executing JVM using VisualVM. The following screenshots show heap memory usage, garbage collection activity and CPU usage over the execution of 10 runs.
 Garbage Collection Memory Usage Object-on-Heap (int) Flink-Serialized (int) Kryo-Serialized (int) The experiments run single-threaded on an 8-core machine, so full utilization of one core only corresponds to a 12.5% overall utilization. The screenshots show that operating on binary data significantly reduces garbage collection activity. For the object-on-heap approach, the garbage collector runs in very short intervals while filling the sort buffer and causes a lot of CPU usage even for a single processing thread (sorting itself does not trigger the garbage collector). The JVM garbage collects with multiple parallel threads, explaining the high overall CPU utilization. On the other hand, the methods that operate on serialized data rarely trigger the garbage collector and have a much lower CPU utilization. In fact the garbage collector does not run at all if the tuples are sorted on the Integer field using the flink-serialized method because no objects need to be deserialized for pair-wise comparisons. The kryo-serialized method requires slightly more garbage collection since it does not use binary sort keys and deserializes two objects for each comparison.

 We’re not done yet! # Apache Flink features quite a bit of advanced techniques to safely and efficiently process huge amounts of data with limited memory resources. However, there are a few points that could make Flink even more efficient. The Flink community is working on moving the managed memory to off-heap memory. This will allow for smaller JVMs, lower garbage collection overhead, and also easier system configuration. With Flink’s Table API, the semantics of all operations such as aggregations and projections are known (in contrast to black-box user-defined functions). Hence we can generate code for Table API operations that directly operates on binary data. Further improvements include serialization layouts which are tailored towards the operations that are applied on the binary data and code generation for serializers and comparators.
 The groundwork (and a lot more) for operating on binary data is done but there is still some room for making Flink even better and faster. If you are crazy about performance and like to juggle with lot of bits and bytes, join the Flink community!

 New Features # Table API # Flink’s new Table API offers a higher-level abstraction for interacting with structured data sources. The Table API allows users to execute logical, SQL-like queries on distributed data sets while allowing them to freely mix declarative queries with regular Flink operators. Here is an example that groups and joins two tables:
-val clickCounts = clicks .groupBy(\u0026#39;user).select(\u0026#39;userId, \u0026#39;url.count as \u0026#39;count) val activeUsers = users.join(clickCounts) .where(\u0026#39;id === \u0026#39;userId \u0026amp;\u0026amp; \u0026#39;count \u0026gt; 10).select(\u0026#39;username, \u0026#39;count, ...) Tables consist of logical attributes that can be selected by name rather than physical Java and Scala data types. This alleviates a lot of boilerplate code for common ETL tasks and raises the abstraction for Flink programs. Tables are available for both static and streaming data sources (DataSet and DataStream APIs).

 In this blog post, we cut through Apache Flink’s layered architecture and take a look at its internals with a focus on how it handles joins. Specifically, I will
 show how easy it is to join data sets using Flink’s fluent APIs, discuss basic distributed join strategies, Flink’s join implementations, and its memory management, talk about Flink’s optimizer that automatically chooses join strategies, show some performance numbers for joining data sets of different sizes, and finally briefly discuss joining of co-located and pre-sorted data sets. Disclaimer: This blog post is exclusively about equi-joins. Whenever I say “join” in the following, I actually mean “equi-join”.
 How do I join with Flink? # Flink provides fluent APIs in Java and Scala to write data flow programs. Flink’s APIs are centered around parallel data collections which are called data sets. data sets are processed by applying Transformations that compute new data sets. Flink’s transformations include Map and Reduce as known from MapReduce [1] but also operators for joining, co-grouping, and iterative processing. The documentation gives an overview of all available transformations [2].
 Joining two Scala case class data sets is very easy as the following example shows:
-// define your data types case class PageVisit(url: String, ip: String, userId: Long) case class User(id: Long, name: String, email: String, country: String) // get your data from somewhere val visits: DataSet[PageVisit] = ... val users: DataSet[User] = ... // filter the users data set val germanUsers = users.filter((u) =\u0026gt; u.country.equals(\u0026#34;de\u0026#34;)) // join data sets val germanVisits: DataSet[(PageVisit, User)] = // equi-join condition (PageVisit.userId = User.id) visits.join(germanUsers).where(\u0026#34;userId\u0026#34;).equalTo(\u0026#34;id\u0026#34;) Flink’s APIs also allow to:
+// define your data types case class PageVisit(url: String, ip: String, userId: Long) case class User(id: Long, name: String, email: String, country: String) // get your data from somewhere val visits: DataSet[PageVisit] = ... val users: DataSet[User] = ... // filter the users data set val germanUsers = users.filter((u) =&gt; u.country.equals(&#34;de&#34;)) // join data sets val germanVisits: DataSet[(PageVisit, User)] = // equi-join condition (PageVisit.userId = User.id) visits.join(germanUsers).where(&#34;userId&#34;).equalTo(&#34;id&#34;) Flink’s APIs also allow to:
 apply a user-defined join function to each pair of joined elements instead returning a ($Left, $Right) tuple, select fields of pairs of joined Tuple elements (projection), and define composite join keys such as .where(“orderDate”, “zipCode”).equalTo(“date”, “zip”). See the documentation for more details on Flink’s join features [3].
 How does Flink join my data? # Flink uses techniques which are well known from parallel database systems to efficiently execute parallel joins. A join operator must establish all pairs of elements from its input data sets for which the join condition evaluates to true. In a standalone system, the most straight-forward implementation of a join is the so-called nested-loop join which builds the full Cartesian product and evaluates the join condition for each pair of elements. This strategy has quadratic complexity and does obviously not scale to large inputs.
 In a distributed system joins are commonly processed in two steps:

 This active memory management makes Flink extremely robust for processing very large data sets on limited memory resources while preserving all benefits of in-memory processing if data is small enough to fit in-memory. De/serializing data into and from memory has a certain cost overhead compared to simply holding all data elements on the JVM’s heap. However, Flink features efficient custom de/serializers which also allow to perform certain operations such as comparisons directly on serialized data without deserializing data objects from memory.
 Local Strategies # After the data has been distributed across all parallel join instances using either a Repartition-Repartition or Broadcast-Forward ship strategy, each instance runs a local join algorithm to join the elements of its local partition. Flink’s runtime features two common join strategies to perform these local joins:
 the Sort-Merge-Join strategy (SM) and the Hybrid-Hash-Join strategy (HH). The Sort-Merge-Join works by first sorting both input data sets on their join key attributes (Sort Phase) and merging the sorted data sets as a second step (Merge Phase). The sort is done in-memory if the local partition of a data set is small enough. Otherwise, an external merge-sort is done by collecting data until the working memory is filled, sorting it, writing the sorted data to the local filesystem, and starting over by filling the working memory again with more incoming data. After all input data has been received, sorted, and written as sorted runs to the local file system, a fully sorted stream can be obtained. This is done by reading the partially sorted runs from the local filesystem and sort-merging the records on the fly. Once the sorted streams of both inputs are available, both streams are sequentially read and merge-joined in a zig-zag fashion by comparing the sorted join key attributes, building join element pairs for matching keys, and advancing the sorted stream with the lower join key. The figure below shows how the Sort-Merge-Join strategy works.
-The Hybrid-Hash-Join distinguishes its inputs as build-side and probe-side input and works in two phases, a build phase followed by a probe phase. In the build phase, the algorithm reads the build-side input and inserts all data elements into an in-memory hash table indexed by their join key attributes. If the hash table outgrows the algorithm\u0026rsquo;s working memory, parts of the hash table (ranges of hash indexes) are written to the local filesystem. The build phase ends after the build-side input has been fully consumed. In the probe phase, the algorithm reads the probe-side input and probes the hash table for each element using its join key attribute. If the element falls into a hash index range that was spilled to disk, the element is also written to disk. Otherwise, the element is immediately joined with all matching elements from the hash table. If the hash table completely fits into the working memory, the join is finished after the probe-side input has been fully consumed. Otherwise, the current hash table is dropped and a new hash table is built using spilled parts of the build-side input. This hash table is probed by the corresponding parts of the spilled probe-side input. Eventually, all data is joined. Hybrid-Hash-Joins perform best if the hash table completely fits into the working memory because an arbitrarily large the probe-side input can be processed on-the-fly without materializing it. However even if build-side input does not fit into memory, the the Hybrid-Hash-Join has very nice properties. In this case, in-memory processing is partially preserved and only a fraction of the build-side and probe-side data needs to be written to and read from the local filesystem. The next figure illustrates how the Hybrid-Hash-Join works.

 How does Flink choose join strategies? # Ship and local strategies do not depend on each other and can be independently chosen. Therefore, Flink can execute a join of two data sets R and S in nine different ways by combining any of the three ship strategies (RR, BF with R being broadcasted, BF with S being broadcasted) with any of the three local strategies (SM, HH with R being build-side, HH with S being build-side). Each of these strategy combinations results in different execution performance depending on the data sizes and the available amount of working memory. In case of a small data set R and a much larger data set S, broadcasting R and using it as build-side input of a Hybrid-Hash-Join is usually a good choice because the much larger data set S is not shipped and not materialized (given that the hash table completely fits into memory). If both data sets are rather large or the join is performed on many parallel instances, repartitioning both inputs is a robust choice.
 Flink features a cost-based optimizer which automatically chooses the execution strategies for all operators including joins. Without going into the details of cost-based optimization, this is done by computing cost estimates for execution plans with different strategies and picking the plan with the least estimated costs. Thereby, the optimizer estimates the amount of data which is shipped over the the network and written to disk. If no reliable size estimates for the input data can be obtained, the optimizer falls back to robust default choices. A key feature of the optimizer is to reason about existing data properties. For example, if the data of one input is already partitioned in a suitable way, the generated candidate plans will not repartition this input. Hence, the choice of a RR ship strategy becomes more likely. The same applies for previously sorted data and the Sort-Merge-Join strategy. Flink programs can help the optimizer to reason about existing data properties by providing semantic information about user-defined functions [4]. While the optimizer is a killer feature of Flink, it can happen that a user knows better than the optimizer how to execute a specific join. Similar to relational database systems, Flink offers optimizer hints to tell the optimizer which join strategies to pick [5].
 How is Flink’s join performance? # Alright, that sounds good, but how fast are joins in Flink? Let’s have a look. We start with a benchmark of the single-core performance of Flink’s Hybrid-Hash-Join implementation and run a Flink program that executes a Hybrid-Hash-Join with parallelism 1. We run the program on a n1-standard-2 Google Compute Engine instance (2 vCPUs, 7.5GB memory) with two locally attached SSDs. We give 4GB as working memory to the join. The join program generates 1KB records for both inputs on-the-fly, i.e., the data is not read from disk. We run 1:N (Primary-Key/Foreign-Key) joins and generate the smaller input with unique Integer join keys and the larger input with randomly chosen Integer join keys that fall into the key range of the smaller input. Hence, each tuple of the larger side joins with exactly one tuple of the smaller side. The result of the join is immediately discarded. We vary the size of the build-side input from 1 million to 12 million elements (1GB to 12GB). The probe-side input is kept constant at 64 million elements (64GB). The following chart shows the average execution time of three runs for each setup.
@@ -4951,7 +5006,7 @@
 As in the single-core benchmark, we run 1:N joins, generate the data on-the-fly, and immediately discard the result after the join. We run the benchmark on 10 n1-highmem-8 Google Compute Engine instances. Each instance is equipped with 8 cores, 52GB RAM, 40GB of which are configured as working memory (5GB per core), and one local SSD for spilling to disk. All benchmarks are performed using the same configuration, i.e., no fine tuning for the respective data sizes is done. The programs are executed with a parallelism of 80.
 As expected, the Broadcast-Forward strategy performs best for very small inputs because the large probe side is not shipped over the network and is locally joined. However, when the size of the broadcasted side grows, two problems arise. First the amount of data which is shipped increases but also each parallel instance has to process the full broadcasted data set. The performance of both Repartitioning strategies behaves similar for growing input sizes which indicates that these strategies are mainly limited by the cost of the data transfer (at max 2TB are shipped over the network and joined). Although the Sort-Merge-Join strategy shows the worst performance all shown cases, it has a right to exist because it can nicely exploit sorted input data.
 I’ve got sooo much data to join, do I really need to ship it? # We have seen that off-the-shelf distributed joins work really well in Flink. But what if your data is so huge that you do not want to shuffle it across your cluster? We recently added some features to Flink for specifying semantic properties (partitioning and sorting) on input splits and co-located reading of local input files. With these tools at hand, it is possible to join pre-partitioned data sets from your local filesystem without sending a single byte over your cluster’s network. If the input data is even pre-sorted, the join can be done as a Sort-Merge-Join without sorting, i.e., the join is essentially done on-the-fly. Exploiting co-location requires a very special setup though. Data needs to be stored on the local filesystem because HDFS does not feature data co-location and might move file blocks across data nodes. That means you need to take care of many things yourself which HDFS would have done for you, including replication to avoid data loss. On the other hand, performance gains of joining co-located and pre-sorted can be quite substantial.

 In this post, we go through an example that uses the Flink Streaming API to compute statistics on stock market data that arrive continuously and combine the stock market data with Twitter streams. See the Streaming Programming Guide for a detailed presentation of the Streaming API.
 First, we read a bunch of stock price streams and combine them into one stream of market data. We apply several transformations on this market data stream, like rolling aggregations per stock. Then we emit price warning alerts when the prices are rapidly changing. Moving towards more advanced features, we compute rolling correlations between the market data streams and a Twitter stream with stock mentions.
 For running the example implementation please use the 0.9-SNAPSHOT version of Flink as a dependency. The full example code base can be found here in Scala and here in Java7.

 Window aggregations # We first compute aggregations on time-based windows of the data. Flink provides flexible windowing semantics where windows can also be defined based on count of records or any custom user defined logic.
 We partition our stream into windows of 10 seconds and slide the window every 5 seconds. We compute three statistics every 5 seconds. The first is the minimum price of all stocks, the second produces maximum price per stock, and the third is the mean stock price (using a map window function). Aggregations and groupings can be performed on named fields of POJOs, making the code more readable.
-//Define the desired time window val windowedStream = stockStream .window(Time.of(10, SECONDS)).every(Time.of(5, SECONDS)) //Compute some simple statistics on a rolling window val lowest = windowedStream.minBy(\u0026#34;price\u0026#34;) val maxByStock = windowedStream.groupBy(\u0026#34;symbol\u0026#34;).maxBy(\u0026#34;price\u0026#34;) val rollingMean = windowedStream.groupBy(\u0026#34;symbol\u0026#34;).mapWindow(mean _) //Compute the mean of a window def mean(ts: Iterable[StockPrice], out: Collector[StockPrice]) = { if (ts.nonEmpty) { out.collect(StockPrice(ts.head.symbol, ts.foldLeft(0: Double)(_ + _.price) / ts.size)) } } //Define the desired time window WindowedDataStream\u0026lt;StockPrice\u0026gt; windowedStream = stockStream .window(Time.of(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS)) .every(Time.of(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS)); //Compute some simple statistics on a rolling window DataStream\u0026lt;StockPrice\u0026gt; lowest = windowedStream.minBy(\u0026#34;price\u0026#34;).flatten(); DataStream\u0026lt;StockPrice\u0026gt; maxByStock = windowedStream.groupBy(\u0026#34;symbol\u0026#34;) .maxBy(\u0026#34;price\u0026#34;).flatten(); DataStream\u0026lt;StockPrice\u0026gt; rollingMean = windowedStream.groupBy(\u0026#34;symbol\u0026#34;) .mapWindow(new WindowMean()).flatten(); //Compute the mean of a window public final static class WindowMean implements WindowMapFunction\u0026lt;StockPrice, StockPrice\u0026gt; { private Double sum = 0.0; private Integer count = 0; private String symbol = \u0026#34;\u0026#34;; @Override public void mapWindow(Iterable\u0026lt;StockPrice\u0026gt; values, Collector\u0026lt;StockPrice\u0026gt; out) throws Exception { if (values.iterator().hasNext()) {s for (StockPrice sp : values) { sum += sp.price; symbol = sp.symbol; count++; } out.collect(new StockPrice(symbol, sum / count)); } } } Let us note that to print a windowed stream one has to flatten it first, thus getting rid of the windowing logic. For example execute maxByStock.flatten().print() to print the stream of maximum prices of the time windows by stock. For Scala flatten() is called implicitly when needed.

 Data-driven windows # The most interesting event in the stream is when the price of a stock is changing rapidly. We can send a warning when a stock price changes more than 5% since the last warning. To do that, we use a delta-based window providing a threshold on when the computation will be triggered, a function to compute the difference and a default value with which the first record is compared. We also create a Count data type to count the warnings every 30 seconds.

 Gelly, Flink’s Graph API # This pull request introduces Gelly, Flink’s brand new Graph API. Gelly offers a native graph programming abstraction with functionality for vertex-centric programming, as well as available graph algorithms. See this slide set for an overview of Gelly.
 Semantic annotations # Semantic annotations are a powerful mechanism to expose information about the behavior of Flink functions to Flink’s optimizer. The optimizer can leverage this information to generate more efficient execution plans. For example the output of a Reduce operator that groups on the second field of a tuple is still partitioned on that field if the Reduce function does not modify the value of the second field. By exposing this information to the optimizer, the optimizer can generate plans that avoid expensive data shuffling and reuse the partitioned output of Reduce. Semantic annotations can be defined for most data types, including (nested) tuples and POJOs. See the snapshot documentation for details (not online yet).
 New YARN client # The improved YARN client of Flink now allows users to deploy Flink on YARN for executing a single job. Older versions only supported a long-running YARN session. The code of the YARN client has been refactored to provide an (internal) Java API for controlling YARN clusters more easily.

 Improved input split assignment which maximizes computation locality Smart broadcasting mechanism which minimizes network I/O Custom partitioners which let the user control how the data is partitioned within the cluster. This helps to prevent data skewness and allows to implement highly efficient algorithms. coGroup operator now supports group sorting for its inputs Kryo is the new fallback serializer: Apache Flink has a sophisticated type analysis and serialization framework that is able to handle commonly used types very efficiently. In addition to that, there is a fallback serializer for types which are not supported. Older versions of Flink used the reflective Avro serializer for that purpose. With this release, Flink is using the powerful Kryo and twitter-chill library for support of types such as Java Collections and Scala specifc types.
 Hadoop 2.2.0+ is now the default Hadoop dependency: With Flink 0.8.0 we made the “hadoop2” build profile the default build for Flink. This means that all users using Hadoop 1 (0.2X or 1.2.X versions) have to specify version “0.8.0-hadoop1” in their pom files.
 HBase module updated The HBase version has been updated to 0.98.6.1. Also, Hbase is now available to the Hadoop1 and Hadoop2 profile of Flink.

 Intermediate datasets # This pull request introduces a major change in the Flink runtime. Currently, the Flink runtime is based on the notion of operators that exchange data through channels. With the PR, intermediate data sets that are produced by operators become first-class citizens in the runtime. While this does not have any user-facing impact yet, it lays the groundwork for a slew of future features such as blocking execution, fine-grained fault-tolerance, and more efficient data sharing between cluster and client.
 Configurable execution mode # This pull request allows the user to change the object-reuse behaviour. Before this pull request, some operations would reuse objects passed to the user function while others would always create new objects. This introduces a system wide switch and changes all operators to either reuse objects or don’t reuse objects.
 Distributed Coordination via Akka # Another major change is a complete rewrite of the JobManager / TaskManager components in Scala. In addition to that, the old RPC service was replaced by Actors, using the Akka framework.
-Sorting of very large records # Flink\u0026rsquo;s internal sort-algorithms were improved to better handle large records (multiple 100s of megabytes or larger). Previously, the system did in some cases hold instances of multiple large records, resulting in high memory consumption and JVM heap thrashing. Through this fix, large records are streamed through the operators, reducing the memory consumption and GC pressure. The system now requires much less memory to support algorithms that work on such large records.

 Kryo Serialization as the new default fallback # Flink’s build-in type serialization framework is handles all common types very efficiently. Prior versions uses Avro to serialize types that the built-in framework could not handle. Flink serialization system improved a lot over time and by now surpasses the capabilities of Avro in many cases. Kryo now serves as the default fallback serialization framework, supporting a much broader range of types.
 Hadoop FileSystem support # This change permits users to use all file systems supported by Hadoop with Flink. In practice this means that users can use Flink with Tachyon, Google Cloud Storage (also out of the box Flink YARN support on Google Compute Cloud), FTP and all the other file system implementations for Hadoop.

While being conceptually equivalent, Hadoop’s MapReduce and Flink’s interfaces for these functions are unfortunately not source compatible.
 Flink’s Hadoop Compatibility Package # To close this gap, Flink provides a Hadoop Compatibility package to wrap functions implemented against Hadoop’s MapReduce interfaces and embed them in Flink programs. This package was developed as part of a Google Summer of Code 2014 project.
 With the Hadoop Compatibility package, you can reuse all your Hadoop
 InputFormats (mapred and mapreduce APIs) OutputFormats (mapred and mapreduce APIs) Mappers (mapred API) Reducers (mapred API) in Flink programs without changing a line of code. Moreover, Flink also natively supports all Hadoop data types (Writables and WritableComparable).
 The following code snippet shows a simple Flink WordCount program that solely uses Hadoop data types, InputFormat, OutputFormat, Mapper, and Reducer functions.
-// Definition of Hadoop Mapper function public class Tokenizer implements Mapper\u0026lt;LongWritable, Text, Text, LongWritable\u0026gt; { ... } // Definition of Hadoop Reducer function public class Counter implements Reducer\u0026lt;Text, LongWritable, Text, LongWritable\u0026gt; { ... } public static void main(String[] args) { final String inputPath = args[0]; final String outputPath = args[1]; final ExecutionEnvironment env = ExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment(); // Setup Hadoop’s TextInputFormat HadoopInputFormat\u0026lt;LongWritable, Text\u0026gt; hadoopInputFormat = new HadoopInputFormat\u0026lt;LongWritable, Text\u0026gt;( new TextInputFormat(), LongWritable.class, Text.class, new JobConf()); TextInputFormat.addInputPath(hadoopInputFormat.getJobConf(), new Path(inputPath)); // Read a DataSet with the Hadoop InputFormat DataSet\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;LongWritable, Text\u0026gt;\u0026gt; text = env.createInput(hadoopInputFormat); DataSet\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;Text, LongWritable\u0026gt;\u0026gt; words = text // Wrap Tokenizer Mapper function .flatMap(new HadoopMapFunction\u0026lt;LongWritable, Text, Text, LongWritable\u0026gt;(new Tokenizer())) .groupBy(0) // Wrap Counter Reducer function (used as Reducer and Combiner) .reduceGroup(new HadoopReduceCombineFunction\u0026lt;Text, LongWritable, Text, LongWritable\u0026gt;( new Counter(), new Counter())); // Setup Hadoop’s TextOutputFormat HadoopOutputFormat\u0026lt;Text, LongWritable\u0026gt; hadoopOutputFormat = new HadoopOutputFormat\u0026lt;Text, LongWritable\u0026gt;( new TextOutputFormat\u0026lt;Text, LongWritable\u0026gt;(), new JobConf()); hadoopOutputFormat.getJobConf().set(\u0026#34;mapred.textoutputformat.separator\u0026#34;, \u0026#34; \u0026#34;); TextOutputFormat.setOutputPath(hadoopOutputFormat.getJobConf(), new Path(outputPath)); // Output \u0026amp; Execute words.output(hadoopOutputFormat); env.execute(\u0026#34;Hadoop Compat WordCount\u0026#34;); } As you can see, Flink represents Hadoop key-value pairs as Tuple2\u0026lt;key, value\u0026gt; tuples. Note, that the program uses Flink’s groupBy() transformation to group data on the key field (field 0 of the Tuple2\u0026lt;key, value\u0026gt;) before it is given to the Reducer function. At the moment, the compatibility package does not evaluate custom Hadoop partitioners, sorting comparators, or grouping comparators.

Note, that the program uses Flink’s groupBy() transformation to group data on the key field (field 0 of the Tuple2&lt;key, value&gt;) before it is given to the Reducer function. At the moment, the compatibility package does not evaluate custom Hadoop partitioners, sorting comparators, or grouping comparators.
 Hadoop functions can be used at any position within a Flink program and of course also be mixed with native Flink functions. This means that instead of assembling a workflow of Hadoop jobs in an external driver method or using a workflow scheduler such as Apache Oozie, you can implement an arbitrary complex Flink program consisting of multiple Hadoop Input- and OutputFormats, Mapper and Reducer functions. When executing such a Flink program, data will be pipelined between your Hadoop functions and will not be written to HDFS just for the purpose of data exchange.
 What comes next? # While the Hadoop compatibility package is already very useful, we are currently working on a dedicated Hadoop Job operation to embed and execute Hadoop jobs as a whole in Flink programs, including their custom partitioning, sorting, and grouping code. With this feature, you will be able to chain multiple Hadoop jobs, mix them with Flink functions, and other operations such as Spargel operations (Pregel/Giraph-style jobs).
 Summary # Flink lets you reuse a lot of the code you wrote for Hadoop MapReduce, including all data types, all Input- and OutputFormats, and Mapper and Reducers of the mapred-API. Hadoop functions can be used within Flink programs and mixed with all other Flink functions. Due to Flink’s pipelined execution, Hadoop functions can arbitrarily be assembled without data exchange via HDFS. Moreover, the Flink community is currently working on a dedicated Hadoop Job operation to supporting the execution of Hadoop jobs as a whole.

 BLOB service: This release contains a new service to distribute jar files and other binary data among the JobManager, TaskManagers and the client.
 Intermediate data sets: A major rewrite of the system internals introduces intermediate data sets as first class citizens. The internal state machine that tracks the distributed tasks has also been completely rewritten for scalability. While this is not visible as a user-facing feature yet, it is the foundation for several upcoming exciting features.
 Note: Currently, there is limited support for Java 8 lambdas when compiling and running from an IDE. The problem is due to type erasure and whether Java compilers retain type information. We are currently working with the Eclipse and OpenJDK communities to resolve this.

 Robust in-memory and out-of-core processing: once read, data stays in memory as much as possible, and is gracefully de-staged to disk in the presence of memory pressure from limited memory or other applications. The runtime is designed to perform very well both in setups with abundant memory and in setups where memory is scarce.
 POJO-based APIs: when programming, you do not have to pack your data into key-value pairs or some other framework-specific data model. Rather, you can use arbitrary Java and Scala types to model your data.
-Efficient iterative processing: Flink contains explicit \u0026ldquo;iterate\u0026rdquo; operators that enable very efficient loops over data sets, e.g., for machine learning and graph applications.
+Efficient iterative processing: Flink contains explicit &ldquo;iterate&rdquo; operators that enable very efficient loops over data sets, e.g., for machine learning and graph applications.
 A modular system stack: Flink is not a direct implementation of its APIs but a layered system. All programming APIs are translated to an intermediate program representation that is compiled and optimized via a cost-based optimizer. Lower-level layers of Flink also expose programming APIs for extending the system.
-Data pipelining/streaming: Flink\u0026rsquo;s runtime is designed as a pipelined data processing engine rather than a batch processing engine. Operators do not wait for their predecessors to finish in order to start processing data. This results to very efficient handling of large data sets.

 Here is a compact summary of the most important aspects.
 Inject dependencies
 Reusability becomes easier if constructors don’t create their dependencies (the objects assigned to the fields), but accept them as parameters.
-Effectively, constructors should have no new keyword. Exceptions are creating a new empty collection (new ArrayList\u0026lt;\u0026gt;()) or similar auxiliary fields (objects that have only primitive dependencies). To make instantiation easy / readable, add factory methods or additional convenience constructors to construct whole object with dependencies.

 In no case should it ever be required to use a reflection or a “Whitebox” util to change the fields of an object in a test, or to use PowerMock to intercept a “new” call and supply a mock.
 Avoid “too many collaborators”

 For example: single threaded, blocking, non-blocking, synchronous, asynchronous, multi threaded, thread pool, message queues, volatile, synchronized block/methods, mutexes, atomics, callbacks, … Getting those things right and thinking about them ahead is even more important than designing classes interfaces/responsibilities, since it’s much harder to change later on. Try to avoid using threads all together if possible in any way.
 If you feel you have a case for spawning a thread, point this out in the pull request as something to be explicitly reviewed. Be aware that using threads is in fact much harder than it initially looks
 Clean shutdown of threads is very tricky. Handling interruptions in a rock solid fashion (avoid both slow shutdown and live locks) requires almost a Java Wizard Ensuring clean error propagation out of threads in all cases needs thorough design. Complexity of multi-threaded application/component/class grows exponentially, with each additional synchronisation point/block/critical section. Your code initially might be easy enough to understand, but can quickly grow beyond that point. Proper testing of multithreaded code is basically impossible, while alternative approaches (like asynchronous code, non-blocking code, actor model with message queues) are quite easy to test. Usually multi-threaded code is often even less efficient compared to alternative approaches on modern hardware. Be aware of the java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture
-Like with other concurrent code, there should rarely be the need to use a CompletableFuture Completing a future would also complete on the calling thread any chained futures that are waiting for the result to be completed, unless a completion executor specified explicitly. This can be intentional, if the entire execution should be synchronous / single-threaded, as for example in parts of the Scheduler / ExecutionGraph. Flink even makes use of a “main-thread executor” to allow calling chained handlers in the same thread as a single-threaded RPC endpoint runs This can be unexpected, if the thread that completes the future is a sensitive thread. It may be better to use CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(value, executor) in that case, instead of future.complete(value) when an executor is available When blocking on a future awaiting completion, always supply a timeout for a result instead of waiting indefinitely, and handle timeouts explicitly. Use CompletableFuture.allOf()/anyOf(), ExecutorCompletionService, or org.apache.flink.runtime.concurrent.FutureUtils#waitForAll if you need to wait for: all the results/any of the results/all the results but handled by (approximate) completion order. 6. Dependencies and Modules # Keep the dependency footprint small The more dependencies the harder it gets for the community to manage them as a whole. Dependency management includes dependency conflicts, maintaining licenses and related notices, and handling security vulnerabilities. Discuss whether the dependency should be shaded/relocated to avoid future conflicts. Don’t add a dependency for just one method Use Java built-in means if possible. If the method is Apache-licensed, you can copy the method into a Flink utility class with proper attribution. Declaration of dependencies Declare dependencies that you explicitly rely on, whether it provides classes you directly import and use or it\u0026rsquo;s something that provides a service you directly use, like Log4J. Transitive dependencies should only supply dependencies that are needed at runtime but that you don\u0026rsquo;t use yourself. [source] Location of classes in the Maven modules Whenever you create a new class, think about where to put it. A class might be used by multiple modules in the future and might belong into a common module in this case. 7. Testing # Tooling # We are moving our codebase to JUnit 5 and AssertJ as our testing framework and assertions library of choice.
-Unless there is a specific reason, make sure you use JUnit 5 and AssertJ when contributing to Flink with new tests and even when modifying existing tests. Don\u0026rsquo;t use Hamcrest, JUnit assertions and assert directive. Make your tests readable and don\u0026rsquo;t duplicate assertions logic provided by AssertJ or by custom assertions provided by some flink modules. For example, avoid:
-assert list.size() == 10; for (String item : list) { assertTrue(item.length() \u0026lt; 10); } And instead use:
-assertThat(list) .hasSize(10) .allMatch(item -\u0026gt; item.length() \u0026lt; 10); Write targeted tests # Test contracts not implementations: Test that after a sequence of actions, the components are in a certain state, rather than testing that the components followed a sequence of internal state modifications.

 For example, a typical antipattern is to check whether one specific method was called as part of the test A way to enforce this is to try to follow the Arrange, Act, Assert test structure when writing a unit test (https://xp123.com/articles/3a-arrange-act-assert/)
 This helps to communicate the intention of the test (what is the scenario under test) rather than the mechanics of the tests. The technical bits go to a static methods at the bottom of the test class.
 Example of tests in Flink that follow this pattern are:
 https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-core/src/test/java/org/apache/flink/util/LinkedOptionalMapTest.java https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-filesystems/flink-s3-fs-base/src/test/java/org/apache/flink/fs/s3/common/writer/RecoverableMultiPartUploadImplTest.java Avoid Mockito - Use reusable test implementations # Mockito-based tests tend to be costly to maintain in the long run by encouraging duplication of functionality and testing for implementation rather than effect More details: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fZlTjOJscwmzYadPGl23aui6zopl94Mn5smG-rB0qT8 Instead, create reusable test implementations and utilities That way, when some class changes, we only have to update a few test utils or mocks Avoid timeouts in JUnit tests # Generally speaking, we should avoid setting local timeouts in JUnit tests but rather depend on the global timeout in Azure. The global timeout benefits from taking thread dumps just before timing out the build, easing debugging.
-At the same time, any timeout value that you manually set is arbitrary. If it\u0026rsquo;s set too low, you get test instabilities. What too low means depends on numerous factors, such as hardware and current utilization (especially I/O). Moreover, a local timeout is more maintenance-intensive. It\u0026rsquo;s one more knob where you can tweak a build. If you change the test a bit, you also need to double-check the timeout. Hence, there have been quite a few commits that just increase timeouts.

-Table \u0026amp; SQL API # Semantics # The SQL standard should be the main source of truth.
+Table &amp; SQL API # Semantics # The SQL standard should be the main source of truth.
 Syntax, semantics, and features should be aligned with SQL! We don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Most problems have already been discussed industry-wide and written down in the SQL standard. We rely on the newest standard (SQL:2016 or ISO/IEC 9075:2016 when writing this document (download). Not every part is available online but a quick web search might help here. Discuss divergence from the standard or vendor-specific interpretations.
 Once a syntax or behavior is defined it cannot be undone easily. Contributions that need to extent or interpret the standard need a thorough discussion with the community. Please help committers by performing some initial research about how other vendors such as Postgres, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Hive, Calcite, Beam are handling such cases. Consider the Table API as a bridge between the SQL and Java/Scala programming world.
 The Table API is an Embedded Domain Specific Language for analytical programs following the relational model. It is not required to strictly follow the SQL standard in regards of syntax and names, but can be closer to the way a programming language would do/name functions and features, if that helps make it feel more intuitive. The Table API might have some non-SQL features (e.g. map(), flatMap(), etc.) but should nevertheless “feel like SQL”. Functions and operations should have equal semantics and naming if possible. Common mistakes # Support SQL’s type system when adding a feature. A SQL function, connector, or format should natively support most SQL types from the very beginning. Unsupported types lead to confusion, limit the usability, and create overhead by touching the same code paths multiple times. For example, when adding a SHIFT_LEFT function, make sure that the contribution is general enough not only for INT but also BIGINT or TINYINT. Testing # Test for nullability.
 SQL natively supports NULL for almost every operation and has a 3-valued boolean logic. Make sure to test every feature for nullability as well. Avoid full integration tests
 Spawning a Flink mini-cluster and performing compilation of generated code for a SQL query is expensive. Avoid integration tests for planner tests or variations of API calls. Instead, use unit tests that validate the optimized plan which comes out of a planner. Or test the behavior of a runtime operator directly. Compatibility # Don’t introduce physical plan changes in patch releases!
 Backwards compatibility for state in streaming SQL relies on the fact that the physical execution plan remains stable. Otherwise the generated Operator Names/IDs change and state cannot be matched and restored. Every bug fix that leads to changes in the optimized physical plan of a streaming pipeline hences breaks compatibility. As a consequence, changes of the kind that lead to different optimizer plans can only be merged in major releases for now. Scala / Java interoperability (legacy code parts) # Keep Java in mind when designing interfaces.
-Consider whether a class will need to interact with a Java class in the future. Use Java collections and Java Optional in interfaces for a smooth integration with Java code. Don’t use features of case classes such as .copy() or apply() for construction if a class is subjected to be converted to Java.

Breaking the lines of too long statements # In general long lines should be avoided for the better readability. Try to use short statements which operate on the same level of abstraction. Break the long statements by creating more local variables, defining helper functions etc.
 Two major sources of long lines are:
 Long list of arguments in function declaration or call: void func(type1 arg1, type2 arg2, ...) Long sequence of chained calls: list.stream().map(...).reduce(...).collect(...)... Rules about breaking the long lines:
 Break the argument list or chain of calls if the line exceeds limit or earlier if you believe that the breaking would improve the code readability If you break the line then each argument/call should have a separate line, including the first one Each new line should have one extra indentation (or two for a function declaration) relative to the line of the parent function name or the called entity Additionally for function arguments:
 The opening parenthesis always stays on the line of the parent function name The possible thrown exception list is never broken and stays on the same last line, even if the line length exceeds its limit The line of the function argument should end with a comma staying on the same line except the last argument Example of breaking the list of function arguments:
 public void func( int arg1, int arg2, ...) throws E1, E2, E3 { } The dot of a chained call is always on the line of that chained call proceeding the call at the beginning.
 Example of breaking the list of chained calls:
-values .stream() .map(...) .collect(...); Braces # Left curly braces ({) must not be placed on a new line. Right curly braces (}) must always be placed at the beginning of the line. Blocks.

 Java Reflection # Avoid using Java’s Reflection API
-Java’s Reflection API can be a very useful tool in certain cases but in all cases it is a hack and one should research for alternatives. The only cases where Flink should use reflection are Dynamically loading implementations from another module (like webUI, additional serializers, pluggable query processors). Extracting types inside the TypeExtractor class. This is fragile enough and should not be done outside the TypeExtractor class. Some cases of cross-JDK version features, where we need to use reflection because we cannot assume a class/method to be present in all versions. If you need reflection for accessing methods or fields in tests, it usually indicates some deeper architectural issues, like wrong scoping, bad separation of concerns, or that there is no clean way to provide components / dependencies to the class that is tested Collections # ArrayList and ArrayDeque are almost always superior to LinkedList, except when frequently insert and deleting in the middle of the list For Maps, avoid patterns that require multiple lookups contains() before get() → get() and check null contains() before put() → putIfAbsent() or computeIfAbsent() Iterating over keys, getting values → iterate over entrySet() Set the initial capacity for a collection only if there is a good proven reason for that, otherwise do not clutter the code.

If you can prove that Optional usage would lead to a performance degradation in critical code then fallback to @Nullable. Always use Optional to return nullable values in the API/public methods except the case of a proven performance concern. Do not use Optional as a function argument, instead either overload the method or use the Builder pattern for the set of function arguments. Note: an Optional argument can be allowed in a private helper method if you believe that it simplifies the code (example). Do not use Optional for class fields. Lambdas # Prefer non-capturing lambdas (lambdas that do not contain references to the outer scope). Capturing lambdas need to create a new object instance for every call.

 Make your tests readable and don&rsquo;t duplicate assertions logic provided by AssertJ or by <a href="https://assertj.github.io/doc/#assertj-core-custom-assertions">custom assertions</a> provided by some flink modules.

Flink&amp;rsquo;s features include support for stream and batch processing, sophisticated state management, event-time processing semantics, and exactly-once consistency guarantees for state. Moreover, Flink can be deployed on various resource providers such as YARN and Kubernetes, but also as a stand-alone cluster on bare-metal hardware. Configured for high availability, Flink does not have a single point of failure.</description>

This blog article illustrates the migration of a real-life batch DataSet pipeline to a batch DataStream pipeline. All the code presented in this article is available in the tpcds-benchmark-flink repo. The use case shown here is extracted from a broader work comparing Flink performances of different APIs by implementing TPCDS queries using these APIs.</description>

       <description>Introduction # When designing a Flink data processing job, one of the key concerns is maximising job throughput. Sink throughput is a crucial factor because it can determine the entire job’s throughput. We generally want the highest possible write rate in the sink without overloading the destination. However, since the factors impacting a destination’s performance are variable over the job’s lifetime, the sink needs to adjust its write rate dynamically.</description>

-Within a few hours of the announcement several people reached out to the Flink project, worrying about the impact this has on Flink, as we use Akka internally.
-The purpose of this blogpost is to clarify our position on the matter.</description>

       <description>The Apache Flink community is excited to announce the release of Flink ML 2.1.0! This release focuses on improving Flink ML&amp;rsquo;s infrastructure, such as Python SDK, memory management, and benchmark framework, to facilitate the development of performant, memory-safe, and easy-to-use algorithm libraries. We validated the enhanced infrastructure by implementing, benchmarking, and optimizing 10 new algorithms in Flink ML, and confirmed that Flink ML can meet or exceed the performance of selected algorithms from alternative popular ML libraries.</description>

       <description>Motivation # Flink is a distributed processing engine for both unbounded and bounded streams of data. In recent versions, Flink has unified the DataStream API and the Table / SQL API to support both streaming and batch cases. Since most users require both types of data processing pipelines, the unification helps reduce the complexity of developing, operating, and maintaining consistency between streaming and batch backfilling jobs, like the case for Alibaba.</description>

For batch jobs, a small parallelism may result in long execution time and big failover regression. While an unnecessary large parallelism may result in resource waste and more overhead cost in task deployment and network shuffling.
-To decide a proper parallelism, one needs to know how much data each operator needs to process. However, It can be hard to predict data volume to be processed by a job because it can be different everyday.</description>

       <description>Introduction # One of the most important characteristics of stream processing systems is end-to-end latency, i.e. the time it takes for the results of processing an input record to reach the outputs. In the case of Flink, end-to-end latency mostly depends on the checkpointing mechanism, because processing results should only become visible after the state of the stream is persisted to non-volatile storage (this is assuming exactly-once mode; in other modes, results can be published immediately).</description>

       <description>This series of blog posts present a collection of low-latency techniques in Flink. In part one, we discussed the types of latency in Flink and the way we measure end-to-end latency and presented a few techniques that optimize latency directly. In this post, we will continue with a few more direct latency optimization techniques. Just like in part one, for each optimization technique, we will clarify what it is, when to use it, and what to keep in mind when using it.</description>

       <description>Flink has become a well established data streaming engine and a mature project requires some shifting of priorities from thinking purely about new features towards improving stability and operational simplicity. In the last couple of releases, the Flink community has tried to address some known friction points, which includes improvements to the snapshotting process. Snapshotting takes a global, consistent image of the state of a Flink job and is integral to fault-tolerance and exacty-once processing.</description>

Pravega streams (a new storage abstraction) are durable, consistent, and elastic, while natively supporting long-term data retention. In comparison, Apache Flink is a popular real-time computing engine that provides unified batch and stream processing. Flink provides high-throughput, low-latency computation, as well as support for complex event processing and state management.</description>

       <description>Introduction # When scheduling large-scale jobs in Flink 1.12, a lot of time is required to initialize jobs and deploy tasks. The scheduler also requires a large amount of heap memory in order to store the execution topology and host temporary deployment descriptors. For example, for a job with a topology that contains two vertices connected with an all-to-all edge and a parallelism of 10k (which means there are 10k source tasks and 10k sink tasks and every source task is connected to all sink tasks), Flink’s JobManager would require 30 GiB of heap memory and more than 4 minutes to deploy all of the tasks.</description>

-      <description>Part one of this blog post will explain the motivation behind introducing sort-based blocking shuffle, present benchmark results, and provide guidelines on how to use this new feature.
-How data gets passed around between operators # Data shuffling is an important stage in batch processing applications and describes how data is sent from one operator to the next. In this phase, output data of the upstream operator will spill over to persistent storages like disk, then the downstream operator will read the corresponding data and process it.</description>

-Like sort-merge shuffle implemented by other distributed data processing frameworks, the whole sort-based shuffle process in Flink consists of several important stages, including collecting data in memory, sorting the collected data in memory, spilling the sorted data to files, and reading the shuffle data from these spilled files.</description>

       <description>Introduction # Streaming jobs which run for several days or longer usually experience variations in workload during their lifetime. These variations can originate from seasonal spikes, such as day vs. night, weekdays vs. weekend or holidays vs. non-holidays, sudden events or simply the growing popularity of your product. Although some of these variations are more predictable than others, in all cases there is a change in job resource demand that needs to be addressed if you want to ensure the same quality of service for your customers.</description>

Stateful Functions is a cross-platform stack for building Stateful Serverless applications, making it radically simpler to develop scalable, consistent, and elastic distributed applications.
-This new release brings remote functions to the front and center of StateFun, making the disaggregated setup that separates the application logic from the StateFun cluster the default. It is now easier, more efficient, and more ergonomic to write applications that live in their own processes or containers.</description>

       <title>A Rundown of Batch Execution Mode in the DataStream API</title>

       <description>Flink has been following the mantra that Batch is a Special Case of Streaming since the very early days. As the project evolved to address specific uses cases, different core APIs ended up being implemented for batch (DataSet API) and streaming execution (DataStream API), but the higher-level Table API/SQL was subsequently designed following this mantra of unification. With Flink 1.12, the community worked on bringing a similarly unified behaviour to the DataStream API, and took the first steps towards enabling efficient batch execution in the DataStream API.</description>

-      <description>Flink has supported resource management systems like YARN and Mesos since the early days; however, these were not designed for the fast-moving cloud-native architectures that are increasingly gaining popularity these days, or the growing need to support complex, mixed workloads (e.g. batch, streaming, deep learning, web services). For these reasons, more and more users are using Kubernetes to automate the deployment, scaling and management of their Flink applications.
-From release to release, the Flink community has made significant progress in integrating natively with Kubernetes, from active resource management to “Zookeeperless” High Availability (HA).</description>

       <description>Stream processing applications are often stateful, “remembering” information from processed events and using it to influence further event processing. In Flink, the remembered information, i.e., state, is stored locally in the configured state backend. To prevent data loss in case of failures, the state backend periodically persists a snapshot of its contents to a pre-configured durable storage. The RocksDB state backend (i.e., RocksDBStateBackend) is one of the three built-in state backends in Flink.</description>

-      <description>Apache Flink is a very versatile tool for all kinds of data processing workloads. It can process incoming data within a few milliseconds or crunch through petabytes of bounded datasets (also known as batch processing).
-Processing efficiency is not the only parameter users of data processing systems care about. In the real world, system outages due to hardware or software failure are expected to happen all the time. For unbounded (or streaming) workloads, Flink is using periodic checkpoints to allow for reliable and correct recovery.</description>

       <description>About the Pulsar Flink Connector # In order for companies to access real-time data insights, they need unified batch and streaming capabilities. Apache Flink unifies batch and stream processing into one single computing engine with “streams” as the unified data representation. Although developers have done extensive work at the computing and API layers, very little work has been done at the data messaging and storage layers. In reality, data is segregated into data silos, created by various storage and messaging technologies.</description>

       <description>The Flink community has been working for some time on making Flink a truly unified batch and stream processing system. Achieving this involves touching a lot of different components of the Flink stack, from the user-facing APIs all the way to low-level operator processes such as task scheduling. In this blogpost, we’ll take a closer look at how far the community has come in improving scheduling for batch workloads, why this matters and what you can expect in the Flink 1.</description>

-      <description>Apache Flink’s checkpoint-based fault tolerance mechanism is one of its defining features. Because of that design, Flink unifies batch and stream processing, can easily scale to both very small and extremely large scenarios and provides support for many operational features like stateful upgrades with state evolution or roll-backs and time-travel.
-Despite all these great properties, Flink&amp;rsquo;s checkpointing method has an Achilles Heel: the speed of a completed checkpoint is determined by the speed at which data flows through the application.</description>

       <description>Stateful Functions (StateFun) simplifies the building of distributed stateful applications by combining the best of two worlds: the strong messaging and state consistency guarantees of stateful stream processing, and the elasticity and serverless experience of today&amp;rsquo;s cloud-native architectures and popular event-driven FaaS platforms. Typical StateFun applications consist of functions deployed behind simple services using these modern platforms, with a separate StateFun cluster playing the role of an “event-driven database” that provides consistency and fault-tolerance for the functions&amp;rsquo; state and messaging.</description>

-IoT networks are composed of many individual, but interconnected components, which makes getting some kind of high-level insight into the status, problems, or optimization opportunities in these networks not trivial. Each individual device “sees” only its own state, which means that the status of groups of devices, or even the network as a whole, is often a complex aggregation of the individual devices’ state.</description>

       <description>Apache Flink 1.11 introduces a new External Resource Framework, which allows you to request external resources from the underlying resource management systems (e.g., Kubernetes) and accelerate your workload with those resources. As Flink provides a first-party GPU plugin at the moment, we will take GPU as an example and show how it affects Flink applications in the AI field. Other external resources (e.g. RDMA and SSD) can also be supported in a pluggable manner.</description>

-      <description>Python has evolved into one of the most important programming languages for many fields of data processing. So big has been Python’s popularity, that it has pretty much become the default data processing language for data scientists. On top of that, there is a plethora of Python-based data processing tools such as NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn that have gained additional popularity due to their flexibility or powerful functionalities.

       <description>Introduction # In the previous articles of the series, we described how you can achieve flexible stream partitioning based on dynamically-updated configurations (a set of fraud-detection rules) and how you can utilize Flink&#39;s Broadcast mechanism to distribute processing configuration at runtime among the relevant operators. Following up directly where we left the discussion of the end-to-end solution last time, in this article we will describe how you can use the &amp;quot;Swiss knife&amp;quot; of Flink - the Process Function to create an implementation that is tailor-made to match your streaming business logic requirements.</description>

       <description>With an ever-growing number of people working with data, it&amp;rsquo;s a common practice for companies to build self-service platforms with the goal of democratizing their access across different teams and — especially — to enable users from any background to be independent in their data needs. In such environments, metadata management becomes a crucial aspect. Without it, users often work blindly, spending too much time searching for datasets and their location, figuring out data formats and similar cumbersome tasks.</description>

       <description>Apache Flink 1.10 comes with significant changes to the memory model of the Task Managers and configuration options for your Flink applications. These recently-introduced changes make Flink more adaptable to all kinds of deployment environments (e.g. Kubernetes, Yarn, Mesos), providing strict control over its memory consumption. In this post, we describe Flink’s memory model, as it stands in Flink 1.10, how to set up and manage memory consumption of your Flink applications and the recent changes the community implemented in the latest Apache Flink release.</description>

       <description>Almost every Flink job has to exchange data between its operators and since these records may not only be sent to another instance in the same JVM but instead to a separate process, records need to be serialized to bytes first. Similarly, Flink’s off-heap state-backend is based on a local embedded RocksDB instance which is implemented in native C++ code and thus also needs transformation into bytes on every state access.</description>

-      <description>Flink 1.9 introduced the Python Table API, allowing developers and data engineers to write Python Table API jobs for Table transformations and analysis, such as Python ETL or aggregate jobs. However, Python users faced some limitations when it came to support for Python UDFs in Flink 1.9, preventing them from extending the system’s built-in functionality.
-In Flink 1.10, the community further extended the support for Python by adding Python UDFs in PyFlink.</description>

In particular, it marks the end of the community&amp;rsquo;s year-long effort to merge in the Blink SQL contribution from Alibaba. The reason the community chose to spend so much time on the contribution is that SQL works. It allows Flink to offer a truly unified interface over batch and streaming and makes stream processing accessible to a broad audience of developers and analysts.</description>

       <description>Writing unit tests is one of the essential tasks of designing a production-grade application. Without tests, a single change in code can result in cascades of failure in production. Thus unit tests should be written for all types of applications, be it a simple job cleaning data and training a model or a complex multi-tenant, real-time data processing system. In the following sections, we provide a guide for unit testing of Apache Flink applications.</description>

       <description>A common use case for Apache Flink is streaming data analytics together with Apache Kafka, which provides a pub/sub model and durability for data streams. To achieve elastic scalability, both are typically deployed in clustered environments, and increasingly on top of container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes. The Operator pattern provides an extension mechanism to Kubernetes that captures human operator knowledge about an application, like Flink, in software to automate its operation.</description>

       <description>In a previous blog post, we presented how Flink’s network stack works from the high-level abstractions to the low-level details. This second blog post in the series of network stack posts extends on this knowledge and discusses monitoring network-related metrics to identify effects such as backpressure or bottlenecks in throughput and latency. Although this post briefly covers what to do with backpressure, the topic of tuning the network stack will be further examined in a future post.</description>

In this post, we explain what Broadcast State is, and show an example of how it can be applied to an application that evaluates dynamic patterns on an event stream. We walk you through the processing steps and the source code to implement this application in practice.

       <description>Flink’s network stack is one of the core components that make up the flink-runtime module and sit at the heart of every Flink job. It connects individual work units (subtasks) from all TaskManagers. This is where your streamed-in data flows through and it is therefore crucial to the performance of your Flink job for both the throughput as well as latency you observe. In contrast to the coordination channels between TaskManagers and JobManagers which are using RPCs via Akka, the network stack between TaskManagers relies on a much lower-level API using Netty.</description>

-      <description>A common requirement for many stateful streaming applications is to automatically cleanup application state for effective management of your state size, or to control how long the application state can be accessed (e.g. due to legal regulations like the GDPR). The state time-to-live (TTL) feature was initiated in Flink 1.6.0 and enabled application state cleanup and efficient state size management in Apache Flink.

       <description>Figuring out how to manage and model temporal data for effective point-in-time analysis was a longstanding battle, dating as far back as the early 80’s, that culminated with the introduction of temporal tables in the SQL standard in 2011. Up to that point, users were doomed to implement this as part of the application logic, often hurting the length of the development lifecycle as well as the maintainability of the code.</description>

       <description>The open source data technology frameworks Apache Flink and Apache Pulsar can integrate in different ways to provide elastic data processing at large scale. I recently gave a talk at Flink Forward San Francisco 2019 and presented some of the integrations between the two frameworks for batch and streaming applications. In this post, I will give a short introduction to Apache Pulsar and its differentiating elements from other messaging systems and describe the ways that Pulsar and Flink can work together to provide a seamless developer experience for elastic data processing at scale.</description>

       <description>This blog post provides an introduction to Apache Flink’s built-in monitoring and metrics system, that allows developers to effectively monitor their Flink jobs. Oftentimes, the task of picking the relevant metrics to monitor a Flink application can be overwhelming for a DevOps team that is just starting with stream processing and Apache Flink. Having worked with many organizations that deploy Flink at scale, I would like to share my experience and some best practice with the community.</description>

       <description>The capabilities of open source systems for distributed stream processing have evolved significantly over the last years. Initially, the first systems in the field (notably Apache Storm) provided low latency processing, but were limited to at-least-once guarantees, processing-time semantics, and rather low-level APIs. Since then, several new systems emerged and pushed the state of the art of open source stream processing in several dimensions. Today, users of Apache Flink or Apache Beam can use fluent Scala and Java APIs to implement stream processing jobs that operate in event-time with exactly-once semantics at high throughput and low latency.</description>

       <description>With the ubiquity of sensor networks and smart devices continuously collecting more and more data, we face the challenge to analyze an ever growing stream of data in near real-time. Being able to react quickly to changing trends or to deliver up to date business intelligence can be a decisive factor for a company’s success or failure. A key problem in real time processing is the detection of event patterns in data streams.</description>

       <description>Apache Storm was one of the first distributed and scalable stream processing systems available in the open source space offering (near) real-time tuple-by-tuple processing semantics. Initially released by the developers at Backtype in 2011 under the Eclipse open-source license, it became popular very quickly. Only shortly afterwards, Twitter acquired Backtype. Since then, Storm has been growing in popularity, is used in production at many big companies, and is the de-facto industry standard for big data stream processing.</description>

       <description>The data analysis space is witnessing an evolution from batch to stream processing for many use cases. Although batch can be handled as a special case of stream processing, analyzing never-ending streaming data often requires a shift in the mindset and comes with its own terminology (for example, “windowing” and “at-least-once”/”exactly-once” processing). This shift and the new terminology can be quite confusing for people being new to the space of stream processing.</description>

       <description>Running data-intensive code in the JVM and making it well-behaved is tricky. Systems that put billions of data objects naively onto the JVM heap face unpredictable OutOfMemoryErrors and Garbage Collection stalls. Of course, you still want to to keep your data in memory as much as possible, for speed and responsiveness of the processing applications. In that context, &amp;ldquo;off-heap&amp;rdquo; has become almost something like a magic word to solve these problems.</description>

       <description>How Apache Flink operates on binary data # Nowadays, a lot of open-source systems for analyzing large data sets are implemented in Java or other JVM-based programming languages. The most well-known example is Apache Hadoop, but also newer frameworks such as Apache Spark, Apache Drill, and also Apache Flink run on JVMs. A common challenge that JVM-based data analysis engines face is to store large amounts of data in memory - both for caching and for efficient processing such as sorting and joining of data.</description>

       <description>Join Processing in Apache Flink # Joins are prevalent operations in many data processing applications. Most data processing systems feature APIs that make joining data sets very easy. However, the internal algorithms for join processing are much more involved – especially if large data sets need to be efficiently handled. Therefore, join processing serves as a good example to discuss the salient design points and implementation details of a data processing system.</description>

       <description>Apache Hadoop is an industry standard for scalable analytical data processing. Many data analysis applications have been implemented as Hadoop MapReduce jobs and run in clusters around the world. Apache Flink can be an alternative to MapReduce and improves it in many dimensions. Among other features, Flink provides much better performance and offers APIs in Java and Scala, which are very easy to use. Similar to Hadoop, Flink’s APIs provide interfaces for Mapper and Reducer functions, as well as Input- and OutputFormats along with many more operators.</description>

This blog article illustrates the migration of a real-life batch DataSet pipeline to a batch DataStream pipeline. All the code presented in this article is available in the tpcds-benchmark-flink repo. The use case shown here is extracted from a broader work comparing Flink performances of different APIs by implementing TPCDS queries using these APIs.</description>

       <description>Introduction # When designing a Flink data processing job, one of the key concerns is maximising job throughput. Sink throughput is a crucial factor because it can determine the entire job’s throughput. We generally want the highest possible write rate in the sink without overloading the destination. However, since the factors impacting a destination’s performance are variable over the job’s lifetime, the sink needs to adjust its write rate dynamically.</description>

       <description>Motivation # Flink is a distributed processing engine for both unbounded and bounded streams of data. In recent versions, Flink has unified the DataStream API and the Table / SQL API to support both streaming and batch cases. Since most users require both types of data processing pipelines, the unification helps reduce the complexity of developing, operating, and maintaining consistency between streaming and batch backfilling jobs, like the case for Alibaba.</description>

For batch jobs, a small parallelism may result in long execution time and big failover regression. While an unnecessary large parallelism may result in resource waste and more overhead cost in task deployment and network shuffling.
-To decide a proper parallelism, one needs to know how much data each operator needs to process. However, It can be hard to predict data volume to be processed by a job because it can be different everyday.</description>

       <description>Introduction # One of the most important characteristics of stream processing systems is end-to-end latency, i.e. the time it takes for the results of processing an input record to reach the outputs. In the case of Flink, end-to-end latency mostly depends on the checkpointing mechanism, because processing results should only become visible after the state of the stream is persisted to non-volatile storage (this is assuming exactly-once mode; in other modes, results can be published immediately).</description>

       <description>This series of blog posts present a collection of low-latency techniques in Flink. In part one, we discussed the types of latency in Flink and the way we measure end-to-end latency and presented a few techniques that optimize latency directly. In this post, we will continue with a few more direct latency optimization techniques. Just like in part one, for each optimization technique, we will clarify what it is, when to use it, and what to keep in mind when using it.</description>

       <description>Flink has become a well established data streaming engine and a mature project requires some shifting of priorities from thinking purely about new features towards improving stability and operational simplicity. In the last couple of releases, the Flink community has tried to address some known friction points, which includes improvements to the snapshotting process. Snapshotting takes a global, consistent image of the state of a Flink job and is integral to fault-tolerance and exacty-once processing.</description>

       <description>Introduction # When scheduling large-scale jobs in Flink 1.12, a lot of time is required to initialize jobs and deploy tasks. The scheduler also requires a large amount of heap memory in order to store the execution topology and host temporary deployment descriptors. For example, for a job with a topology that contains two vertices connected with an all-to-all edge and a parallelism of 10k (which means there are 10k source tasks and 10k sink tasks and every source task is connected to all sink tasks), Flink’s JobManager would require 30 GiB of heap memory and more than 4 minutes to deploy all of the tasks.</description>

-      <description>Part one of this blog post will explain the motivation behind introducing sort-based blocking shuffle, present benchmark results, and provide guidelines on how to use this new feature.
-How data gets passed around between operators # Data shuffling is an important stage in batch processing applications and describes how data is sent from one operator to the next. In this phase, output data of the upstream operator will spill over to persistent storages like disk, then the downstream operator will read the corresponding data and process it.</description>

-Like sort-merge shuffle implemented by other distributed data processing frameworks, the whole sort-based shuffle process in Flink consists of several important stages, including collecting data in memory, sorting the collected data in memory, spilling the sorted data to files, and reading the shuffle data from these spilled files.</description>

       <description>Introduction # Streaming jobs which run for several days or longer usually experience variations in workload during their lifetime. These variations can originate from seasonal spikes, such as day vs. night, weekdays vs. weekend or holidays vs. non-holidays, sudden events or simply the growing popularity of your product. Although some of these variations are more predictable than others, in all cases there is a change in job resource demand that needs to be addressed if you want to ensure the same quality of service for your customers.</description>

Stateful Functions is a cross-platform stack for building Stateful Serverless applications, making it radically simpler to develop scalable, consistent, and elastic distributed applications.
-This new release brings remote functions to the front and center of StateFun, making the disaggregated setup that separates the application logic from the StateFun cluster the default. It is now easier, more efficient, and more ergonomic to write applications that live in their own processes or containers.</description>

       <title>A Rundown of Batch Execution Mode in the DataStream API</title>

       <description>Flink has been following the mantra that Batch is a Special Case of Streaming since the very early days. As the project evolved to address specific uses cases, different core APIs ended up being implemented for batch (DataSet API) and streaming execution (DataStream API), but the higher-level Table API/SQL was subsequently designed following this mantra of unification. With Flink 1.12, the community worked on bringing a similarly unified behaviour to the DataStream API, and took the first steps towards enabling efficient batch execution in the DataStream API.</description>

-      <description>Flink has supported resource management systems like YARN and Mesos since the early days; however, these were not designed for the fast-moving cloud-native architectures that are increasingly gaining popularity these days, or the growing need to support complex, mixed workloads (e.g. batch, streaming, deep learning, web services). For these reasons, more and more users are using Kubernetes to automate the deployment, scaling and management of their Flink applications.

       <description>Stream processing applications are often stateful, “remembering” information from processed events and using it to influence further event processing. In Flink, the remembered information, i.e., state, is stored locally in the configured state backend. To prevent data loss in case of failures, the state backend periodically persists a snapshot of its contents to a pre-configured durable storage. The RocksDB state backend (i.e., RocksDBStateBackend) is one of the three built-in state backends in Flink.</description>

-      <description>Apache Flink is a very versatile tool for all kinds of data processing workloads. It can process incoming data within a few milliseconds or crunch through petabytes of bounded datasets (also known as batch processing).
-Processing efficiency is not the only parameter users of data processing systems care about. In the real world, system outages due to hardware or software failure are expected to happen all the time. For unbounded (or streaming) workloads, Flink is using periodic checkpoints to allow for reliable and correct recovery.</description>

       <description>About the Pulsar Flink Connector # In order for companies to access real-time data insights, they need unified batch and streaming capabilities. Apache Flink unifies batch and stream processing into one single computing engine with “streams” as the unified data representation. Although developers have done extensive work at the computing and API layers, very little work has been done at the data messaging and storage layers. In reality, data is segregated into data silos, created by various storage and messaging technologies.</description>

       <description>The Flink community has been working for some time on making Flink a truly unified batch and stream processing system. Achieving this involves touching a lot of different components of the Flink stack, from the user-facing APIs all the way to low-level operator processes such as task scheduling. In this blogpost, we’ll take a closer look at how far the community has come in improving scheduling for batch workloads, why this matters and what you can expect in the Flink 1.</description>

Because of that design, Flink unifies batch and stream processing, can easily scale to both very small and extremely large scenarios and provides support for many operational features like stateful upgrades with state evolution or roll-backs and time-travel.
-Despite all these great properties, Flink&amp;rsquo;s checkpointing method has an Achilles Heel: the speed of a completed checkpoint is determined by the speed at which data flows through the application.</description>

       <description>Stateful Functions (StateFun) simplifies the building of distributed stateful applications by combining the best of two worlds: the strong messaging and state consistency guarantees of stateful stream processing, and the elasticity and serverless experience of today&amp;rsquo;s cloud-native architectures and popular event-driven FaaS platforms. Typical StateFun applications consist of functions deployed behind simple services using these modern platforms, with a separate StateFun cluster playing the role of an “event-driven database” that provides consistency and fault-tolerance for the functions&amp;rsquo; state and messaging.</description>

       <description>Apache Flink 1.11 introduces a new External Resource Framework, which allows you to request external resources from the underlying resource management systems (e.g., Kubernetes) and accelerate your workload with those resources. As Flink provides a first-party GPU plugin at the moment, we will take GPU as an example and show how it affects Flink applications in the AI field. Other external resources (e.g. RDMA and SSD) can also be supported in a pluggable manner.</description>

-      <description>Python has evolved into one of the most important programming languages for many fields of data processing. So big has been Python’s popularity, that it has pretty much become the default data processing language for data scientists. On top of that, there is a plethora of Python-based data processing tools such as NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn that have gained additional popularity due to their flexibility or powerful functionalities.

       <description>Introduction # In the previous articles of the series, we described how you can achieve flexible stream partitioning based on dynamically-updated configurations (a set of fraud-detection rules) and how you can utilize Flink&#39;s Broadcast mechanism to distribute processing configuration at runtime among the relevant operators. Following up directly where we left the discussion of the end-to-end solution last time, in this article we will describe how you can use the &amp;quot;Swiss knife&amp;quot; of Flink - the Process Function to create an implementation that is tailor-made to match your streaming business logic requirements.</description>

       <description>With an ever-growing number of people working with data, it&amp;rsquo;s a common practice for companies to build self-service platforms with the goal of democratizing their access across different teams and — especially — to enable users from any background to be independent in their data needs. In such environments, metadata management becomes a crucial aspect. Without it, users often work blindly, spending too much time searching for datasets and their location, figuring out data formats and similar cumbersome tasks.</description>

These recently-introduced changes make Flink more adaptable to all kinds of deployment environments (e.g. Kubernetes, Yarn, Mesos), providing strict control over its memory consumption. In this post, we describe Flink’s memory model, as it stands in Flink 1.10, how to set up and manage memory consumption of your Flink applications and the recent changes the community implemented in the latest Apache Flink release.</description>

       <description>Almost every Flink job has to exchange data between its operators and since these records may not only be sent to another instance in the same JVM but instead to a separate process, records need to be serialized to bytes first. Similarly, Flink’s off-heap state-backend is based on a local embedded RocksDB instance which is implemented in native C++ code and thus also needs transformation into bytes on every state access.</description>

-      <description>Flink 1.9 introduced the Python Table API, allowing developers and data engineers to write Python Table API jobs for Table transformations and analysis, such as Python ETL or aggregate jobs. However, Python users faced some limitations when it came to support for Python UDFs in Flink 1.9, preventing them from extending the system’s built-in functionality.
-In Flink 1.10, the community further extended the support for Python by adding Python UDFs in PyFlink.</description>

       <description>Writing unit tests is one of the essential tasks of designing a production-grade application. Without tests, a single change in code can result in cascades of failure in production. Thus unit tests should be written for all types of applications, be it a simple job cleaning data and training a model or a complex multi-tenant, real-time data processing system. In the following sections, we provide a guide for unit testing of Apache Flink applications.</description>

       <description>A common use case for Apache Flink is streaming data analytics together with Apache Kafka, which provides a pub/sub model and durability for data streams. To achieve elastic scalability, both are typically deployed in clustered environments, and increasingly on top of container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes. The Operator pattern provides an extension mechanism to Kubernetes that captures human operator knowledge about an application, like Flink, in software to automate its operation.</description>

       <description>In a previous blog post, we presented how Flink’s network stack works from the high-level abstractions to the low-level details. This second blog post in the series of network stack posts extends on this knowledge and discusses monitoring network-related metrics to identify effects such as backpressure or bottlenecks in throughput and latency. Although this post briefly covers what to do with backpressure, the topic of tuning the network stack will be further examined in a future post.</description>

In this post, we explain what Broadcast State is, and show an example of how it can be applied to an application that evaluates dynamic patterns on an event stream. We walk you through the processing steps and the source code to implement this application in practice.

       <description>Flink’s network stack is one of the core components that make up the flink-runtime module and sit at the heart of every Flink job. It connects individual work units (subtasks) from all TaskManagers. This is where your streamed-in data flows through and it is therefore crucial to the performance of your Flink job for both the throughput as well as latency you observe. In contrast to the coordination channels between TaskManagers and JobManagers which are using RPCs via Akka, the network stack between TaskManagers relies on a much lower-level API using Netty.</description>

-      <description>A common requirement for many stateful streaming applications is to automatically cleanup application state for effective management of your state size, or to control how long the application state can be accessed (e.g. due to legal regulations like the GDPR). The state time-to-live (TTL) feature was initiated in Flink 1.6.0 and enabled application state cleanup and efficient state size management in Apache Flink.

       <description>Figuring out how to manage and model temporal data for effective point-in-time analysis was a longstanding battle, dating as far back as the early 80’s, that culminated with the introduction of temporal tables in the SQL standard in 2011. Up to that point, users were doomed to implement this as part of the application logic, often hurting the length of the development lifecycle as well as the maintainability of the code.</description>

       <description>The open source data technology frameworks Apache Flink and Apache Pulsar can integrate in different ways to provide elastic data processing at large scale. I recently gave a talk at Flink Forward San Francisco 2019 and presented some of the integrations between the two frameworks for batch and streaming applications. In this post, I will give a short introduction to Apache Pulsar and its differentiating elements from other messaging systems and describe the ways that Pulsar and Flink can work together to provide a seamless developer experience for elastic data processing at scale.</description>

       <description>This blog post provides an introduction to Apache Flink’s built-in monitoring and metrics system, that allows developers to effectively monitor their Flink jobs. Oftentimes, the task of picking the relevant metrics to monitor a Flink application can be overwhelming for a DevOps team that is just starting with stream processing and Apache Flink. Having worked with many organizations that deploy Flink at scale, I would like to share my experience and some best practice with the community.</description>

       <description>The capabilities of open source systems for distributed stream processing have evolved significantly over the last years. Initially, the first systems in the field (notably Apache Storm) provided low latency processing, but were limited to at-least-once guarantees, processing-time semantics, and rather low-level APIs. Since then, several new systems emerged and pushed the state of the art of open source stream processing in several dimensions. Today, users of Apache Flink or Apache Beam can use fluent Scala and Java APIs to implement stream processing jobs that operate in event-time with exactly-once semantics at high throughput and low latency.</description>

       <description>With the ubiquity of sensor networks and smart devices continuously collecting more and more data, we face the challenge to analyze an ever growing stream of data in near real-time. Being able to react quickly to changing trends or to deliver up to date business intelligence can be a decisive factor for a company’s success or failure. A key problem in real time processing is the detection of event patterns in data streams.</description>

       <description>Apache Storm was one of the first distributed and scalable stream processing systems available in the open source space offering (near) real-time tuple-by-tuple processing semantics. Initially released by the developers at Backtype in 2011 under the Eclipse open-source license, it became popular very quickly. Only shortly afterwards, Twitter acquired Backtype. Since then, Storm has been growing in popularity, is used in production at many big companies, and is the de-facto industry standard for big data stream processing.</description>

       <description>The data analysis space is witnessing an evolution from batch to stream processing for many use cases. Although batch can be handled as a special case of stream processing, analyzing never-ending streaming data often requires a shift in the mindset and comes with its own terminology (for example, “windowing” and “at-least-once”/”exactly-once” processing). This shift and the new terminology can be quite confusing for people being new to the space of stream processing.</description>

       <description>Running data-intensive code in the JVM and making it well-behaved is tricky. Systems that put billions of data objects naively onto the JVM heap face unpredictable OutOfMemoryErrors and Garbage Collection stalls. Of course, you still want to to keep your data in memory as much as possible, for speed and responsiveness of the processing applications. In that context, &amp;ldquo;off-heap&amp;rdquo; has become almost something like a magic word to solve these problems.</description>

       <description>How Apache Flink operates on binary data # Nowadays, a lot of open-source systems for analyzing large data sets are implemented in Java or other JVM-based programming languages. The most well-known example is Apache Hadoop, but also newer frameworks such as Apache Spark, Apache Drill, and also Apache Flink run on JVMs. A common challenge that JVM-based data analysis engines face is to store large amounts of data in memory - both for caching and for efficient processing such as sorting and joining of data.</description>

       <description>Join Processing in Apache Flink # Joins are prevalent operations in many data processing applications. Most data processing systems feature APIs that make joining data sets very easy. However, the internal algorithms for join processing are much more involved – especially if large data sets need to be efficiently handled. Therefore, join processing serves as a good example to discuss the salient design points and implementation details of a data processing system.</description>

       <description>Apache Hadoop is an industry standard for scalable analytical data processing. Many data analysis applications have been implemented as Hadoop MapReduce jobs and run in clusters around the world. Apache Flink can be an alternative to MapReduce and improves it in many dimensions. Among other features, Flink provides much better performance and offers APIs in Java and Scala, which are very easy to use. Similar to Hadoop, Flink’s APIs provide interfaces for Mapper and Reducer functions, as well as Input- and OutputFormats along with many more operators.</description>

+    <p>About the Pulsar Flink Connector # In order for companies to access real-time data insights, they need unified batch and streaming capabilities. Apache Flink unifies batch and stream processing into one single computing engine with “streams” as the unified data representation. Although developers have done extensive work at the computing and API layers, very little work has been done at the data messaging and storage layers. In reality, data is segregated into data silos, created by various storage and messaging technologies.

-    <p>With an ever-growing number of people working with data, it&rsquo;s a common practice for companies to build self-service platforms with the goal of democratizing their access across different teams and — especially — to enable users from any background to be independent in their data needs. In such environments, metadata management becomes a crucial aspect. Without it, users often work blindly, spending too much time searching for datasets and their location, figuring out data formats and similar cumbersome tasks.

-    <p>The open source data technology frameworks Apache Flink and Apache Pulsar can integrate in different ways to provide elastic data processing at large scale. I recently gave a talk at Flink Forward San Francisco 2019 and presented some of the integrations between the two frameworks for batch and streaming applications. In this post, I will give a short introduction to Apache Pulsar and its differentiating elements from other messaging systems and describe the ways that Pulsar and Flink can work together to provide a seamless developer experience for elastic data processing at scale.

-Flink Streaming Job Autoscaler # A highly requested feature for Flink applications is the ability to scale the pipeline based on incoming data load and the utilization of the dataflow. While Flink has already provided some of the required building blocks, this feature has not yet been realized in the open source ecosystem.

-    <p>Running data-intensive code in the JVM and making it well-behaved is tricky. Systems that put billions of data objects naively onto the JVM heap face unpredictable OutOfMemoryErrors and Garbage Collection stalls. Of course, you still want to to keep your data in memory as much as possible, for speed and responsiveness of the processing applications. In that context, &ldquo;off-heap&rdquo; has become almost something like a magic word to solve these problems.

Systems that put billions of data objects naively onto the JVM heap face unpredictable OutOfMemoryErrors and Garbage Collection stalls. Of course, you still want to to keep your data in memory as much as possible, for speed and responsiveness of the processing applications. In that context, &ldquo;off-heap&rdquo; has become almost something like a magic word to solve these problems.

-    <p>The Apache Flink Community is pleased to announce the preview release of the Apache Flink Kubernetes Operator (0.1.0)
-The Flink Kubernetes Operator allows users to easily manage their Flink deployment lifecycle using native Kubernetes tooling.

+The Flink Kubernetes Operator allows users to easily manage their Flink deployment lifecycle using native Kubernetes tooling.
+The operator takes care of submitting, savepointing, upgrading and generally managing Flink jobs using the built-in Flink Kubernetes integration. This way users do not have to use the Flink Clients (e.g. CLI) or interact with the Flink jobs manually, they only have to declare the desired deployment specification and the operator will take care of the rest.

-    <p>About the Pulsar Flink Connector # In order for companies to access real-time data insights, they need unified batch and streaming capabilities. Apache Flink unifies batch and stream processing into one single computing engine with “streams” as the unified data representation. Although developers have done extensive work at the computing and API layers, very little work has been done at the data messaging and storage layers. In reality, data is segregated into data silos, created by various storage and messaging technologies.

  provides primitives for many common stream processing operations, such as windowing, record-at-a-time transformations, and enriching events by querying an external data store. The DataStream API is available for Java and Scala and is based on functions, such as <code>map()</code>, <code>reduce()</code>, and <code>aggregate()</code>. Functions can be defined by extending interfaces or as Java or Scala lambda functions.</p>

       <guid>https://flink.apache.org/what-is-flink/use-cases/</guid>
       <description>Use Cases # Apache Flink is an excellent choice to develop and run many different types of applications due to its extensive feature set. Flink&amp;rsquo;s features include support for stream and batch processing, sophisticated state management, event-time processing semantics, and exactly-once consistency guarantees for state. Moreover, Flink can be deployed on various resource providers such as YARN and Kubernetes, but also as a stand-alone cluster on bare-metal hardware. Configured for high availability, Flink does not have a single point of failure.</description>

 下文中，我们将简要描述每一种 API 及其应用，并提供相关的代码示例。
 ProcessFunction # ProcessFunction 是 Flink 所提供的最具表达力的接口。ProcessFunction 可以处理一或两条输入数据流中的单个事件或者归入一个特定窗口内的多个事件。它提供了对于时间和状态的细粒度控制。开发者可以在其中任意地修改状态，也能够注册定时器用以在未来的某一时刻触发回调函数。因此，你可以利用 ProcessFunction 实现许多有状态的事件驱动应用所需要的基于单个事件的复杂业务逻辑。
 下面的代码示例展示了如何在 KeyedStream 上利用 KeyedProcessFunction 对标记为 START 和 END 的事件进行处理。当收到 START 事件时，处理函数会记录其时间戳，并且注册一个时长4小时的计时器。如果在计时器结束之前收到 END 事件，处理函数会计算其与上一个 START 事件的时间间隔，清空状态并将计算结果返回。否则，计时器结束，并清空状态。
-/** * Matches keyed START and END events and computes the difference between * both elements\u0026#39; timestamps. The first String field is the key attribute, * the second String attribute marks START and END events. */ public static class StartEndDuration extends KeyedProcessFunction\u0026lt;String, Tuple2\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt;, Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt;\u0026gt; { private ValueState\u0026lt;Long\u0026gt; startTime; @Override public void open(Configuration conf) { // obtain state handle startTime = getRuntimeContext() .getState(new ValueStateDescriptor\u0026lt;Long\u0026gt;(\u0026#34;startTime\u0026#34;, Long.class)); } /** Called for each processed event. */ @Override public void processElement( Tuple2\u0026lt;String, String\u0026gt; in, Context ctx, Collector\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt;\u0026gt; out) throws Exception { switch (in.f1) { case \u0026#34;START\u0026#34;: // set the start time if we receive a start event. startTime.update(ctx.timestamp()); // register a timer in four hours from the start event. ctx.timerService() .registerEventTimeTimer(ctx.timestamp() + 4 * 60 * 60 * 1000); break; case \u0026#34;END\u0026#34;: // emit the duration between start and end event Long sTime = startTime.value(); if (sTime != null) { out.collect(Tuple2.of(in.f0, ctx.timestamp() - sTime)); // clear the state startTime.clear(); } default: // do nothing } } /** Called when a timer fires. */ @Override public void onTimer( long timestamp, OnTimerContext ctx, Collector\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt;\u0026gt; out) { // Timeout interval exceeded.

 DataStream API # DataStream API 为许多通用的流处理操作提供了处理原语。这些操作包括窗口、逐条记录的转换操作，在处理事件时进行外部数据库查询等。DataStream API 支持 Java 和 Scala 语言，预先定义了例如map()、reduce()、aggregate() 等函数。你可以通过扩展实现预定义接口或使用 Java、Scala 的 lambda 表达式实现自定义的函数。
 下面的代码示例展示了如何捕获会话时间范围内所有的点击流事件，并对每一次会话的点击量进行计数。
-// a stream of website clicks DataStream\u0026lt;Click\u0026gt; clicks = ... DataStream\u0026lt;Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt;\u0026gt; result = clicks // project clicks to userId and add a 1 for counting .map( // define function by implementing the MapFunction interface. new MapFunction\u0026lt;Click, Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt;\u0026gt;() { @Override public Tuple2\u0026lt;String, Long\u0026gt; map(Click click) { return Tuple2.of(click.userId, 1L); } }) // key by userId (field 0) .keyBy(0) // define session window with 30 minute gap .window(EventTimeSessionWindows.withGap(Time.minutes(30L))) // count clicks per session. Define function as lambda function. .reduce((a, b) -\u0026gt; Tuple2.of(a.f0, a.f1 + b.f1)); SQL \u0026amp; Table API # Flink 支持两种关系型的 API， Table API 和 SQL 。这两个 API 都是批处理和流处理统一的 API，这意味着在无边界的实时数据流和有边界的历史记录数据流上，关系型 API 会以相同的语义执行查询，并产生相同的结果。Table API 和 SQL 借助了 Apache Calcite 来进行查询的解析，校验以及优化。它们可以与 DataStream 和 DataSet API 无缝集成，并支持用户自定义的标量函数，聚合函数以及表值函数。

 Flink 的关系型 API 旨在简化数据分析、数据流水线和 ETL 应用的定义。
 下面的代码示例展示了如何使用 SQL 语句查询捕获会话时间范围内所有的点击流事件，并对每一次会话的点击量进行计数。此示例与上述 DataStream API 中的示例有着相同的逻辑。
-SELECT userId, COUNT(*) FROM clicks GROUP BY SESSION(clicktime, INTERVAL \u0026#39;30\u0026#39; MINUTE), userId 库 # Flink 具有数个适用于常见数据处理应用场景的扩展库。这些库通常嵌入在 API 中，且并不完全独立于其它 API。它们也因此可以受益于 API 的所有特性，并与其他库集成。

 复杂事件处理(CEP) ：模式检测是事件流处理中的一个非常常见的用例。Flink 的 CEP 库提供了 API，使用户能够以例如正则表达式或状态机的方式指定事件模式。CEP 库与 Flink 的 DataStream API 集成，以便在 DataStream 上评估模式。CEP 库的应用包括网络入侵检测，业务流程监控和欺诈检测。
 DataSet API ：DataSet API 是 Flink 用于批处理应用程序的核心 API。DataSet API 所提供的基础算子包括map、reduce、(outer) join、co-group、iterate等。所有算子都有相应的算法和数据结构支持，对内存中的序列化数据进行操作。如果数据大小超过预留内存，则过量数据将存储到磁盘。Flink 的 DataSet API 的数据处理算法借鉴了传统数据库算法的实现，例如混合散列连接（hybrid hash-join）和外部归并排序（external merge-sort）。
 Gelly : Gelly 是一个可扩展的图形处理和分析库。Gelly 是在 DataSet API 之上实现的，并与 DataSet API 集成。因此，它能够受益于其可扩展且健壮的操作符。Gelly 提供了 内置算法 ，如 label propagation、triangle enumeration 和 page rank 算法，也提供了一个简化自定义图算法实现的 Graph API 。

 As of March 2023, the Flink community decided that upon release of a new Flink minor version, the community will perform one final bugfix release for resolved critical/blocker issues in the Flink minor version losing support. If 1.16.1 is the current release and 1.15.4 is the latest previous patch version, once 1.17.0 is released we will create a 1.15.5 to flush out any resolved critical/blocker issues.
 请注意，社区始终愿意讨论旧版本的 bugfix 版本。请在 dev@flink.apache.org 邮件列表中与开发人员联系。

Efficient execution of batch jobs is powerful in its own right; but even more so, batch processing capabilities (efficient processing of bounded streams) open the way for a seamless unification of batch and streaming applications. Unified streaming/batch up-levels the streaming data paradigm: It gives users consistent semantics across their real-time and lag-time applications. Furthermore, streaming applications often need to be complemented by batch (bounded stream) processing, for example when reprocessing data after bugs or data quality issues, or when bootstrapping new applications. A unified API and system make this much easier.
-Both DataStream API and SQL provide unified API to execute the same application in different modes of batch and streaming. There have been some efforts to make the unification much more seamless, such as unified Source API (FLIP-27) and SinkV2 API (FLIP-191). Beyond unification, we want to go one step further. Our goal is to mix and switch between batch/streaming execution in the future to make it a seamless experience. We have supported checkpointing when some tasks are finished \u0026amp; bounded stream programs shut down with a final checkpoint (FLIP-147). There are initial discussions and designs about jobs with mixed batch/streaming execution, so stay tuned for more news in that area.

Our goal is to mix and switch between batch/streaming execution in the future to make it a seamless experience. We have supported checkpointing when some tasks are finished &amp; bounded stream programs shut down with a final checkpoint (FLIP-147). There are initial discussions and designs about jobs with mixed batch/streaming execution, so stay tuned for more news in that area.
 Dynamic checkpoint interval for processing bounded stream of historical data and unbounded stream of incremental data (FLIP-309). Event notification mechanism for the boundary of bounded part and unbounded part in a stream. This can unlock many exciting features and improvements, such as FLINK-19830. Bootstrap states using a batch job (bounded stream program) with a final checkpoint, and continue processing with a streaming job (unbounded stream program) from the checkpoint and state. Unified SQL Platform # The community has been building Flink to a powerful basis for a unified (batch and streaming) SQL analytics platform and is continuing to do so.
 SQL has very strong cross-batch-streaming semantics, allowing users to use the same queries for ad-hoc analytics and as continuous queries. Flink already contains an efficient unified query engine and a wide set of integrations. With user feedback, those are continuously improved.
 Going Beyond a SQL Stream/Batch Processing Engine # The experience of updating Flink SQL based jobs has been rather cumbersome as it could have led to new job graphs making restoring from savepoints/checkpoints impossible. FLIP-190 which already has been shipped as MVP is targeting this. To extend the capability of a stream-batch processing engine and make Flink ready for the unified SQL platform, there is an ongoing effort to allow Flink better manage data and metadata, including DELETE/UPDATE, Call Procedures, rich DDLs, Time Travel, and so on. This is especially useful for building a lakehouse with Flink and Paimon/Iceberg/Hudi. There are some initial discussions to support JSON data type for Flink SQL. This can enable Flink SQL to better analyze semi-structured data and better adapt to NoSQL databases. Platform Infrastructure # After FLIP-163 the community is working again on a set of SQL Client usability improvements (FLIP-189, FLIP-222) which is aiming at improving the user experience when using the SQL client. To simplify the building of production SQL platforms with Flink, we are improving the SQL Gateway component as the service of the Flink SQL platform. There are many ongoing exciting features around it, including supporting application mode (FLIP-316), JDBC driver client (FLIP-293), persisted catalog registration (FLIP-295), authentication, and high availability. Support for Common Languages # Hive syntax compatibility can help users migrate existing Hive SQL tasks to Flink seamlessly, and it is convenient for users who are familiar with Hive syntax to use Hive syntax to write SQL to query tables registered in Flink. Until now, the Hive syntax compatibility has reached 94.1% which is measured using the Hive qtest suite. Flink community is continuously improving the compatibility and execution performance (FLINK-29717). With FLIP-216 there’s now the initiative to introduce pluggable SQL dialects on the example of the Hive syntax. It makes Flink easier to support other SQL dialects in the future, for example, Spark SQL and PostgreSQL. Towards Streaming Warehouses # Flink has become the leading technology and factual standard for stream processing. The concept of unifying streaming and batch data processing is gaining recognition and is being successfully implemented in more and more companies. To further unify streaming-batch analytics, Flink has proposed the concept of Streaming Warehouse. This new concept aims to unify not only computation but also storage, ensuring that data flows and is processed in real time. As a result, the data in the warehouse is always up-to-date, and any analytics or insights generated from it reflect the current state of the business. This combines the advantages of traditional data warehouses with real-time insights.

 We are planning to remove some long deprecated APIs in Flink 2.0, to make Flink move faster, including: The DataSet API, all Scala APIs, the legacy SinkV1 API, the legacy TableSource/TableSink API Deprecated methods / fields / classes in the DataStream API, Table API and REST API Deprecated configuration options and metrics We are also planning to retire the legacy SourceFunction / SinkFunction APIs, and Queryable State API in the long term. This may not happen shortly, as the prerequisites for users to migrate from these APIs are not fully met at the moment. We are aware of some problems of the current DataStream API, such as the exposing of and dependencies on the Flink internal implementations, which requires significant changes to fix. To provide a smooth migration experience, the community is designing a new ProcessFunction API, which aims to gradually replace the DataStream API in the long term. Flink as an Application # The goal of these efforts is to make it feel natural to deploy (long-running streaming) Flink applications. Instead of starting a cluster and submitting a job to that cluster, these efforts support deploying a streaming job as a self-contained application.
 For example as a simple Kubernetes deployment; deployed and scaled like a regular application without extra workflows.
 There is currently a Flink Kubernetes Operator subproject being developed by the community and has its own roadmap under the documentation. Streaming query as an application. Make SQL Client/Gateway supports submitting SQL jobs in the application mode (FLIP-316). Performance # Continuous work to keep improving the performance of both Flink streaming and batch processing.
-Large-Scale Streaming Jobs # Streaming Join is a headache for Flink users because of its large-scale state. The community is putting lots of effort into further improving the performance of streaming join, such as minibatch join, multi-way join, and reducing duplicated states. The community is also continuously improving and working on some other joins, such as unordered async lookup join and processing-time temporal join (FLIP-326). They can be very efficient alternatives for streaming joins. Change data capture and processing with Flink SQL is widely used, and the community is improving cost and performance in this case, e.g. reducing normalize and materialize state. Faster Batch Queries # The community\u0026rsquo;s goal is to make Flink\u0026rsquo;s performance on bounded streams (batch use cases) competitive with that of dedicated batch processors. While Flink has been shown to handle some batch processing use cases faster than widely-used batch processors, there are some ongoing efforts to make sure this is the case for broader use cases: The community has introduced Dynamic Partition Pruning (DPP) which aims to minimize I/O costs of the data read from the data sources. There are some ongoing efforts to further reduce the I/O and shuffle costs, such as Runtime Filter (FLIP-324). Operator Fusion CodeGen (FLIP-315) improves the execution performance of a query by fusing an operator DAG into a single optimized operator that eliminates virtual function calls and leverages CPU registers for intermediate data. The community has supported some adaptive batch execution and scheduling (FLIP-187). We are trying to support broader adaptive cases, such as Adaptive Query Execution that makes use of runtime statistics to choose the most efficient query execution plan. The community has started improving scheduler and execution performance (FLINK-25318) for short-lived jobs to support OLAP. Flink executes “OLAP as a special case of batch”, we are trying to extend Flink to execute low-latency and currency queries in Session Cluster and users can perform streaming, batch, and OLAP data processing on the unified Flink engine.

 Stability # The community is keeping improving the stability of jobs, by better tolerating failures, and speeding up the recovery process.
 The instability of the environment is unavoidable. It can lead to a crash of JobManager and TaskManager nodes, or slow data processing. The community has introduced speculative execution (FLIP-168, FLIP-245, FLIP-281) for batch jobs to reduce the impact of problematic machines which slows down data processing.
 JobManager node crash is usually unacceptable for a batch job because the job has to be re-run from the very beginning. Therefore, the community is planning to improve the JobManager recovery process to avoid re-run finished stages. Another planned improvement is to retain running tasks when the JobManager node goes down unexpectedly, to further reduce the impact of the JobManager crash. This can also benefit streaming jobs even if they have periodical checkpointing, to avoid interruption or regression of data processing in this case.

 Developer Experience # Ecosystem # There is almost no use case in which Apache Flink is used on its own. It has established itself as part of many data related reference architectures. In fact you’ll find the squirrel logo covering several aspects.
 All connectors will be hosted in an external repository going forward and many of them have been successfully externalized. See the mailing list thread. Catalog as a first-class citizen. Flink catalog lets users issue batch and streaming queries connecting to external systems without registering DDLs/schemas manually. It is recommended to support Catalog in the highest priority for connectors. The community is working on supporting more catalogs for connectors (e.g. GlueCatalog, SchemaRegistryCatalog). There is ongoing work on introducing more new connectors (e.g. Pinot, Redshift, ClickHouse)

 一次代码贡献(或者任何代码片段)可以从很多角度进行评价：一组评判标准是代码是否正确和高效。这需要正确且良好的解决逻辑或算法问题。
 另一组评判标准是代码是否使用了简洁的设计和架构，是否通过概念分离实现了良好的架构，是否足够简单易懂并且明确假设。该评判标准需要良好的解决软件工程问题。一个好的解决方案需要代码是容易被测试的，可以被除了原作者之外的其他人维护的（因为打破之后再维护是非常困难的），同时还需要能够高效的迭代演进的。
 不过第一组标准有相当客观的达成条件，相比之下要达到第二组评判标准更加困难，但是对于 Apache Flink 这样的开源项目来说却非常重要。为了能够吸引更多贡献者，为了的开源贡献能够更容易被开发者理解，同时也为了众多开发者同时开发时代码的健壮性，良好工程化的代码是至关重要的。1 对于良好的工程代码来说，更加容易保证代码的正确性和高效不会随着时间的推移受到影响

 格式化 # 以下各节列出了基本的格式准则，可以帮助你开始编写一致且易于浏览的文档。
 标题 # 在 Markdown 中，标题是任意以井号（#）开头的行，井号的数量表示标题级别。标题永远是嵌套和连续的，不能因为样式原因跳过标题级别！
 语法 级别 描述 # 标题 1级 页面标题在前言中定义，此级别标题 不应该使用。 ## 标题 2级 章节的起始级别。用于按照高级别的主题或者目标来组织内容。 ### 标题 3级 子章节。在每个章节中用于分隔次要信息或者任务。 #### 标题 4级 最佳实践 # 标题使用叙述语言的措辞。例如，一个动态表格的文档页面，“动态表格和连续查询”就比“背景”或者“技术信息”更有描述性。

 导航 # 在文档构建中，导航的属性通过每个页面中的 前言变量配置。
 在比较长的文档页面中使用 回到首页 是很有必要的，这样用户就可以直接跳转到顶部而不用手动向上滑动。在使用标记中，通过在构建文档时替换占位符为一个默认的链接来实现：
-{{ \u0026#34;{% top \u0026#34; }}%} 最佳实践 # 建议至少要在 2 级章节的结尾处添加回到首页链接。
+{{ &#34;{% top &#34; }}%} 最佳实践 # 建议至少要在 2 级章节的结尾处添加回到首页链接。
 标注 # 如果你需要在文档中添加边缘案例、紧密相关或者最好了解的信息，使用特殊的标注来高亮是一个（很）好的实践。
 突出显示提示以及有助于理解的信息：

 Reusability becomes easier if constructors don’t create their dependencies (the objects assigned to the fields), but accept them as parameters.
-Effectively, constructors should have no new keyword. Exceptions are creating a new empty collection (new ArrayList\u0026lt;\u0026gt;()) or similar auxiliary fields (objects that have only primitive dependencies). To make instantiation easy / readable, add factory methods or additional convenience constructors to construct whole object with dependencies.

To make instantiation easy / readable, add factory methods or additional convenience constructors to construct whole object with dependencies.
 In no case should it ever be required to use a reflection or a “Whitebox” util to change the fields of an object in a test, or to use PowerMock to intercept a “new” call and supply a mock.
 Avoid “too many collaborators”
 If you have to take a big set of other components into account during testing (“too many collaborators”), consider refactoring.

 For example: single threaded, blocking, non-blocking, synchronous, asynchronous, multi threaded, thread pool, message queues, volatile, synchronized block/methods, mutexes, atomics, callbacks, … Getting those things right and thinking about them ahead is even more important than designing classes interfaces/responsibilities, since it’s much harder to change later on. Try to avoid using threads all together if possible in any way.
 If you feel you have a case for spawning a thread, point this out in the pull request as something to be explicitly reviewed. Be aware that using threads is in fact much harder than it initially looks
 Clean shutdown of threads is very tricky. Handling interruptions in a rock solid fashion (avoid both slow shutdown and live locks) requires almost a Java Wizard Ensuring clean error propagation out of threads in all cases needs thorough design. Complexity of multi-threaded application/component/class grows exponentially, with each additional synchronisation point/block/critical section. Your code initially might be easy enough to understand, but can quickly grow beyond that point. Proper testing of multithreaded code is basically impossible, while alternative approaches (like asynchronous code, non-blocking code, actor model with message queues) are quite easy to test. Usually multi-threaded code is often even less efficient compared to alternative approaches on modern hardware. Be aware of the java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture
-Like with other concurrent code, there should rarely be the need to use a CompletableFuture Completing a future would also complete on the calling thread any chained futures that are waiting for the result to be completed, unless a completion executor specified explicitly. This can be intentional, if the entire execution should be synchronous / single-threaded, as for example in parts of the Scheduler / ExecutionGraph. Flink even makes use of a “main-thread executor” to allow calling chained handlers in the same thread as a single-threaded RPC endpoint runs This can be unexpected, if the thread that completes the future is a sensitive thread. It may be better to use CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(value, executor) in that case, instead of future.complete(value) when an executor is available When blocking on a future awaiting completion, always supply a timeout for a result instead of waiting indefinitely, and handle timeouts explicitly. Use CompletableFuture.allOf()/anyOf(), ExecutorCompletionService, or org.apache.flink.runtime.concurrent.FutureUtils#waitForAll if you need to wait for: all the results/any of the results/all the results but handled by (approximate) completion order. 6. Dependencies and Modules # Keep the dependency footprint small The more dependencies the harder it gets for the community to manage them as a whole. Dependency management includes dependency conflicts, maintaining licenses and related notices, and handling security vulnerabilities. Discuss whether the dependency should be shaded/relocated to avoid future conflicts. Don’t add a dependency for just one method Use Java built-in means if possible. If the method is Apache-licensed, you can copy the method into a Flink utility class with proper attribution. Declaration of dependencies Declare dependencies that you explicitly rely on, whether it provides classes you directly import and use or it\u0026rsquo;s something that provides a service you directly use, like Log4J. Transitive dependencies should only supply dependencies that are needed at runtime but that you don\u0026rsquo;t use yourself. [source] Location of classes in the Maven modules Whenever you create a new class, think about where to put it. A class might be used by multiple modules in the future and might belong into a common module in this case. 7. Testing # Tooling # We are moving our codebase to JUnit 5 and AssertJ as our testing framework and assertions library of choice.
-Unless there is a specific reason, make sure you use JUnit 5 and AssertJ when contributing to Flink with new tests and even when modifying existing tests. Don\u0026rsquo;t use Hamcrest, JUnit assertions and assert directive. Make your tests readable and don\u0026rsquo;t duplicate assertions logic provided by AssertJ or by custom assertions provided by some flink modules. For example, avoid:
-assert list.size() == 10; for (String item : list) { assertTrue(item.length() \u0026lt; 10); } And instead use:
-assertThat(list) .hasSize(10) .allMatch(item -\u0026gt; item.length() \u0026lt; 10); Write targeted tests # Test contracts not implementations: Test that after a sequence of actions, the components are in a certain state, rather than testing that the components followed a sequence of internal state modifications.

 For example, a typical antipattern is to check whether one specific method was called as part of the test A way to enforce this is to try to follow the Arrange, Act, Assert test structure when writing a unit test (https://xp123.com/articles/3a-arrange-act-assert/)
 This helps to communicate the intention of the test (what is the scenario under test) rather than the mechanics of the tests. The technical bits go to a static methods at the bottom of the test class.
 Example of tests in Flink that follow this pattern are:
 https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-core/src/test/java/org/apache/flink/util/LinkedOptionalMapTest.java https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-filesystems/flink-s3-fs-base/src/test/java/org/apache/flink/fs/s3/common/writer/RecoverableMultiPartUploadImplTest.java Avoid Mockito - Use reusable test implementations # Mockito-based tests tend to be costly to maintain in the long run by encouraging duplication of functionality and testing for implementation rather than effect More details: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fZlTjOJscwmzYadPGl23aui6zopl94Mn5smG-rB0qT8 Instead, create reusable test implementations and utilities That way, when some class changes, we only have to update a few test utils or mocks Avoid timeouts in JUnit tests # Generally speaking, we should avoid setting local timeouts in JUnit tests but rather depend on the global timeout in Azure. The global timeout benefits from taking thread dumps just before timing out the build, easing debugging.
-At the same time, any timeout value that you manually set is arbitrary. If it\u0026rsquo;s set too low, you get test instabilities. What too low means depends on numerous factors, such as hardware and current utilization (especially I/O). Moreover, a local timeout is more maintenance-intensive. It\u0026rsquo;s one more knob where you can tweak a build. If you change the test a bit, you also need to double-check the timeout. Hence, there have been quite a few commits that just increase timeouts.

 Two major sources of long lines are:
 Long list of arguments in function declaration or call: void func(type1 arg1, type2 arg2, ...) Long sequence of chained calls: list.stream().map(...).reduce(...).collect(...)... Rules about breaking the long lines:
 Break the argument list or chain of calls if the line exceeds limit or earlier if you believe that the breaking would improve the code readability If you break the line then each argument/call should have a separate line, including the first one Each new line should have one extra indentation (or two for a function declaration) relative to the line of the parent function name or the called entity Additionally for function arguments:
 The opening parenthesis always stays on the line of the parent function name The possible thrown exception list is never broken and stays on the same last line, even if the line length exceeds its limit The line of the function argument should end with a comma staying on the same line except the last argument Example of breaking the list of function arguments:
 public void func( int arg1, int arg2, ...) throws E1, E2, E3 { } The dot of a chained call is always on the line of that chained call proceeding the call at the beginning.
 Example of breaking the list of chained calls:
-values .stream() .map(...) .collect(...); Braces # Left curly braces ({) must not be placed on a new line. Right curly braces (}) must always be placed at the beginning of the line. Blocks.

 Java Reflection # Avoid using Java’s Reflection API
-Java’s Reflection API can be a very useful tool in certain cases but in all cases it is a hack and one should research for alternatives.

 在 core API 和 运行时的组件中，我们不使用 Scala。我们的目标是从这些组件中删除现有的 Scala 使用(代码和依赖项)。
 ⇒ 这并不是因为我们不喜欢 Scala，而是考虑到“用正确的工具做正确的事”的结果（见下文）。
 对于 API，我们使用 Java 开发基础内容，并在上层使用 Scala。

-请随时提出任何问题！ 可以发送邮件到 dev mailing list，也可以对正在处理的 Jira issue 发表评论。
-重要提示：在开始准备代码贡献之前，请仔细阅读本文档。请遵循如下所述的流程和指南，为 Apache Flink 做贡献并不是从创建 pull request 开始的。我们希望贡献者先和我们联系，共同讨论整体方案。如果没有与 Flink committers 达成共识，那么贡献可能需要大量返工或不予审核通过。
-寻找可贡献的内容 # 如果你已经有好的想法可以贡献，可以直接参考下面的 &amp;ldquo;代码贡献步骤&amp;rdquo;。 如果你在寻找可贡献的内容，可以通过 Flink 的问题跟踪列表 浏览处于 open 状态且未被分配的 Jira 工单，然后根据 &amp;ldquo;代码贡献步骤&amp;rdquo; 中的描述来参与贡献。 如果你是一个刚刚加入到 Flink 项目中的新人，并希望了解 Flink 及其贡献步骤，可以浏览 适合新手的工单列表 。 这个列表中的工单都带有 starter 标记，适合新手参与。
-代码贡献步骤 # 注意：最近（2019 年 6 月），代码贡献步骤有改动。社区决定将原来直接提交 pull request 的方式转移到 Jira 上，要求贡献者在创建 pull request 之前需在 Jira 上达成共识（通过分配到的工单来体现），以减轻 PR review 的压力。 1讨论 在 Jira 上创建工单或邮件列表讨论并达成共识</description>

-      <description>如何审核 Pull Request # 本指南适用于希望帮助审核代码的所有提交者和贡献者。感谢你的努力 - 良好的审核是开源项目中最重要也是最关键的部分之一。本文旨在协助社区开展代码审核工作，以达到下列目的：
-让贡献者拥有良好的贡献体验。 将审核过程结构化，以涵盖所有需要检查的重要方面。 保持 Flink 代码的高质量。 避免贡献者和审核者花费大量时间完善代码却最终被拒绝提交的情况。 审核清单 # 每次审核都需要检查以下六个方面。 我们建议按照以下顺序进行检查，以避免在还没有就是否添加某项功能或需要改动达成共识之前或没有满足一些正式条件前，就花费时间进行详细的代码质量审核。
-1. 贡献的描述是否清晰？ # 检查贡献是否有充分的描述以方便审核，不重要的更改和修复不需要很长的描述。如果实现方案完全是按照之前在 Jira 或 dev 邮件列表上讨论结论进行的话，只需要一个对讨论的简短的引用即可。 如果实现方案与之前达成一致的方案不同的话，关于实现的详细描述是需要的，以便 review 贡献时更深入地讨论。
-任何改变功能或行为的 pull request 都需要描述这些改变的重点, 以便知道审核什么内容(并且不必钻研代码来了解更改的作用)。
-如果在不查看代码的情况下能回答以下问题2、3、4，则该贡献得到了很好的描述。
-2. 是否一致认为这一变更或者功能应该进入 Flink？ # 这个问题要直接在关联的 Jira issue 中回答。对于在达成一致前创建的 pull request 来说，需要先在 Jira 中寻求一致的意见。
-对于 [hotfix] 类型的的 pull request，可以在 pull request 中寻求意见一致。
-3. 贡献是否需要一些特定的 committer 的关注，这些 committer 有时间投入吗？ # 一些更改需要特定的 committer 的注意和批准。例如，对性能非常敏感或对分布式协调和容错有关键影响的部件中的更改，这需要一个对相应组件非常熟悉的 committer 的审核。
-根据经验，当 pull request 描述中对模板里问题 “Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts” 的回答为 “yes” 时，需要特别注意。</description>

-一次代码贡献(或者任何代码片段)可以从很多角度进行评价：一组评判标准是代码是否正确和高效。这需要正确且良好的解决逻辑或算法问题。
-另一组评判标准是代码是否使用了简洁的设计和架构，是否通过概念分离实现了良好的架构，是否足够简单易懂并且明确假设。该评判标准需要良好的解决软件工程问题。一个好的解决方案需要代码是容易被测试的，可以被除了原作者之外的其他人维护的（因为打破之后再维护是非常困难的），同时还需要能够高效的迭代演进的。
-不过第一组标准有相当客观的达成条件，相比之下要达到第二组评判标准更加困难，但是对于 Apache Flink 这样的开源项目来说却非常重要。为了能够吸引更多贡献者，为了的开源贡献能够更容易被开发者理解，同时也为了众多开发者同时开发时代码的健壮性，良好工程化的代码是至关重要的。1 对于良好的工程代码来说，更加容易保证代码的正确性和高效不会随着时间的推移受到影响
-当然，本指南并不是一份如何写出良好的工程代码的全方位指导。有相当多的书籍尝试说明如何实现良好的代码。本指南只是作为最佳实践的检查清单，包括我们在开发 Flink 过程中遇到的模式，反模式和常见错误。
-高质量的开源代码很大一部分是关于帮助 reviewer 理解和双重检查执行结果。所以，本指南的一个重要目的是关于如何为为 review 构建一个良好的 pull request

-获取文档资源 # Apache Flink 的文档和代码保存在相同的 git 仓库中。这样做是为了确保代码和文档可以轻松保持同步。
-贡献文档的最简单方法是在 GitHub 上 Flink 的镜像仓库 页面，通过单击右上角的 fork 按钮讲 Flink 克隆到你自己的 GitHub 帐户中。如果你没有 GitHub 帐户，可以免费创建一个帐户。
-接下来，将 fork 的代码克隆到本地计算机。
-git clone https://github.com/&amp;lt;your-user-name&amp;gt;/flink.git 文档位于 Flink 代码库的 docs/ 子目录中。
-在开始贡献文档之前… # …请确保已经有一个相对应的 Jira issue 存在了。我们要求所有文档更改都需要关联一个 Jira issue，除了一些微不足道的修复，如拼写错误。
-同时，先阅读一下 文档样式指南 能够很好的帮助你写出易懂、连贯和全面的文档。
-更新或扩展文档 # Flink 文档是用 Markdown 编写的。Markdown 是一种轻量级标记语言，可以通过工具转化成 HTML。
-为了更新或扩展文档，你必须修改 Markdown (.md) 文件。请通过在预览模式下启动构建脚本来验证你的更改。
-./build_docs.sh -p 该脚本会将 Markdown 文件编译成静态 HTML 页面并在本地启动一个 Web 服务器。在浏览器中打开 http://localhost:1313/ ，查看包含更改文档页面。当你修改并保存 Markdown 文件，然后刷新浏览器，修改过的文档将自动被重新编译和更新。</description>

-语言 # Flink 同时维护了 英文 和 中文 两种文档，当你拓展或者更新文档时，需要在 pull request 中包含两种语言版本。如果你不熟悉中文，确保本次贡献补充了如下额外操作：
-开一个翻译的 JIRA 请求单，并打上 chinese-translation 的标签； 在此请求单上添加到原始 JIRA 请求单的链接。 正在寻求有助于将现有文档翻译成中文的风格指南？请继续查阅 这个翻译规范。
-语言风格 # 如下，你可以看到一些初步的原则，这些原则可以确保书写中的可读性和通俗易懂。如果想更深入、更细致的了解语言风格，也可以参考 通用准则。

-      <description>Apache Flink 是什么？ # Apache Flink 是一个框架和分布式处理引擎，用于在无边界和有边界数据流上进行有状态的计算。Flink 能在所有常见集群环境中运行，并能以内存速度和任意规模进行计算。
-接下来，我们来介绍一下 Flink 架构中的重要方面。
-处理无界和有界数据 # 任何类型的数据都可以形成一种事件流。信用卡交易、传感器测量、机器日志、网站或移动应用程序上的用户交互记录，所有这些数据都形成一种流。
-数据可以被作为 无界 或者 有界 流来处理。
-无界流 有定义流的开始，但没有定义流的结束。它们会无休止地产生数据。无界流的数据必须持续处理，即数据被摄取后需要立刻处理。我们不能等到所有数据都到达再处理，因为输入是无限的，在任何时候输入都不会完成。处理无界数据通常要求以特定顺序摄取事件，例如事件发生的顺序，以便能够推断结果的完整性。
-有界流 有定义流的开始，也有定义流的结束。有界流可以在摄取所有数据后再进行计算。有界流所有数据可以被排序，所以并不需要有序摄取。有界流处理通常被称为批处理
-Apache Flink 擅长处理无界和有界数据集 精确的时间控制和状态化使得 Flink 的运行时(runtime)能够运行任何处理无界流的应用。有界流则由一些专为固定大小数据集特殊设计的算法和数据结构进行内部处理，产生了出色的性能。
-通过探索 Flink 之上构建的 用例 来加深理解。
-部署应用到任意地方 # Apache Flink 是一个分布式系统，它需要计算资源来执行应用程序。Flink 集成了所有常见的集群资源管理器，例如 Hadoop YARN、 Apache Mesos 和 Kubernetes，但同时也可以作为独立集群运行。
-Flink 被设计为能够很好地工作在上述每个资源管理器中，这是通过资源管理器特定(resource-manager-specific)的部署模式实现的。Flink 可以采用与当前资源管理器相适应的方式进行交互。
-部署 Flink 应用程序时，Flink 会根据应用程序配置的并行性自动标识所需的资源，并从资源管理器请求这些资源。在发生故障的情况下，Flink 通过请求新资源来替换发生故障的容器。提交或控制应用程序的所有通信都是通过 REST 调用进行的，这可以简化 Flink 与各种环境中的集成。
-运行任意规模应用 # Flink 旨在任意规模上运行有状态流式应用。因此，应用程序被并行化为可能数千个任务，这些任务分布在集群中并发执行。所以应用程序能够充分利用无尽的 CPU、内存、磁盘和网络 IO。而且 Flink 很容易维护非常大的应用程序状态。其异步和增量的检查点算法对处理延迟产生最小的影响，同时保证精确一次状态的一致性。
-Flink 用户报告了其生产环境中一些令人印象深刻的扩展性数字
-处理每天处理数万亿的事件, 应用维护几TB大小的状态, 和 应用在数千个内核上运行。 利用内存性能 # 有状态的 Flink 程序针对本地状态访问进行了优化。任务的状态始终保留在内存中，如果状态大小超过可用内存，则会保存在能高效访问的磁盘数据结构中。任务通过访问本地（通常在内存中）状态来进行所有的计算，从而产生非常低的处理延迟。Flink 通过定期和异步地对本地状态进行持久化存储来保证故障场景下精确一次的状态一致性。</description>

-      <description>Apache Flink 是什么？ # Apache Flink 是一个针对无界和有界数据流进行有状态计算的框架。Flink 自底向上在不同的抽象级别提供了多种 API，并且针对常见的使用场景开发了专用的扩展库。
-在本章中，我们将介绍 Flink 所提供的这些简单易用、易于表达的 API 和库。
-流处理应用的基本组件 # 可以由流处理框架构建和执行的应用程序类型是由框架对 流、状态、时间 的支持程度来决定的。在下文中，我们将对上述这些流处理应用的基本组件逐一进行描述，并对 Flink 处理它们的方法进行细致剖析。
-流 # 显而易见，（数据）流是流处理的基本要素。然而，流也拥有着多种特征。这些特征决定了流如何以及何时被处理。Flink 是一个能够处理任何类型数据流的强大处理框架。
-有界 和 无界 的数据流：流可以是无界的；也可以是有界的，例如固定大小的数据集。Flink 在无界的数据流处理上拥有诸多功能强大的特性，同时也针对有界的数据流开发了专用的高效算子。 实时 和 历史记录 的数据流：所有的数据都是以流的方式产生，但用户通常会使用两种截然不同的方法处理数据。或是在数据生成时进行实时的处理；亦或是先将数据流持久化到存储系统中——例如文件系统或对象存储，然后再进行批处理。Flink 的应用能够同时支持处理实时以及历史记录数据流。 状态 # 只有在每一个单独的事件上进行转换操作的应用才不需要状态，换言之，每一个具有一定复杂度的流处理应用都是有状态的。任何运行基本业务逻辑的流处理应用都需要在一定时间内存储所接收的事件或中间结果，以供后续的某个时间点（例如收到下一个事件或者经过一段特定时间）进行访问并进行后续处理。
-应用状态是 Flink 中的一等公民，Flink 提供了许多状态管理相关的特性支持，其中包括：
-多种状态基础类型：Flink 为多种不同的数据结构提供了相对应的状态基础类型，例如原子值（value），列表（list）以及映射（map）。开发者可以基于处理函数对状态的访问方式，选择最高效、最适合的状态基础类型。 插件化的State Backend：State Backend 负责管理应用程序状态，并在需要的时候进行 checkpoint。Flink 支持多种 state backend，可以将状态存在内存或者 RocksDB。RocksDB 是一种高效的嵌入式、持久化键值存储引擎。Flink 也支持插件式的自定义 state backend 进行状态存储。 精确一次语义：Flink 的 checkpoint 和故障恢复算法保证了故障发生后应用状态的一致性。因此，Flink 能够在应用程序发生故障时，对应用程序透明，不造成正确性的影响。 超大数据量状态：Flink 能够利用其异步以及增量式的 checkpoint 算法，存储数 TB 级别的应用状态。 可弹性伸缩的应用：Flink 能够通过在更多或更少的工作节点上对状态进行重新分布，支持有状态应用的分布式的横向伸缩。 时间 # 时间是流处理应用另一个重要的组成部分。因为事件总是在特定时间点发生，所以大多数的事件流都拥有事件本身所固有的时间语义。进一步而言，许多常见的流计算都基于时间语义，例如窗口聚合、会话计算、模式检测和基于时间的 join。流处理的一个重要方面是应用程序如何衡量时间，即区分事件时间（event-time）和处理时间（processing-time）。</description>

-      <description>Apache Flink 是什么？ # Apache Flink 是一个针对无界和有界数据流进行有状态计算的框架。由于许多流应用程序旨在以最短的停机时间连续运行，因此流处理器必须提供出色的故障恢复能力，以及在应用程序运行期间进行监控和维护的工具。
-Apache Flink 非常注重流数据处理的可运维性。因此在这一小节中，我们将详细介绍 Flink 的故障恢复机制，并介绍其管理和监控应用的功能。
-7 * 24小时稳定运行 # 在分布式系统中，服务故障是常有的事，为了保证服务能够7*24小时稳定运行，像Flink这样的流处理器故障恢复机制是必须要有的。显然这就意味着，它(这类流处理器)不仅要能在服务出现故障时候能够重启服务，而且还要当故障发生时，保证能够持久化服务内部各个组件的当前状态，只有这样才能保证在故障恢复时候，服务能够继续正常运行，好像故障就没有发生过一样。
-Flink通过几下多种机制维护应用可持续运行及其一致性:
-检查点的一致性: Flink的故障恢复机制是通过建立分布式应用服务状态一致性检查点实现的，当有故障产生时，应用服务会重启后，再重新加载上一次成功备份的状态检查点信息。结合可重放的数据源，该特性可保证*精确一次（exactly-once）*的状态一致性。 高效的检查点: 如果一个应用要维护一个TB级的状态信息，对此应用的状态建立检查点服务的资源开销是很高的，为了减小因检查点服务对应用的延迟性（SLAs服务等级协议）的影响，Flink采用异步及增量的方式构建检查点服务。 端到端的精确一次: Flink 为某些特定的存储支持了事务型输出的功能，及时在发生故障的情况下，也能够保证精确一次的输出。 集成多种集群管理服务: Flink已与多种集群管理服务紧密集成，如 Hadoop YARN, Mesos, 以及 Kubernetes。当集群中某个流程任务失败后，一个新的流程服务会自动启动并替代它继续执行。 内置高可用服务: Flink内置了为解决单点故障问题的高可用性服务模块，此模块是基于Apache ZooKeeper 技术实现的，Apache ZooKeeper是一种可靠的、交互式的、分布式协调服务组件。 Flink能够更方便地升级、迁移、暂停、恢复应用服务 # 驱动关键业务服务的流应用是经常需要维护的。比如需要修复系统漏洞，改进功能，或开发新功能。然而升级一个有状态的流应用并不是简单的事情，因为在我们为了升级一个改进后版本而简单停止当前流应用并重启时，我们还不能丢失掉当前流应用的所处于的状态信息。
-而Flink的 Savepoint 服务就是为解决升级服务过程中记录流应用状态信息及其相关难题而产生的一种唯一的、强大的组件。一个 Savepoint，就是一个应用服务状态的一致性快照，因此其与checkpoint组件的很相似，但是与checkpoint相比，Savepoint 需要手动触发启动，而且当流应用服务停止时，它并不会自动删除。Savepoint 常被应用于启动一个已含有状态的流服务，并初始化其（备份时）状态。Savepoint 有以下特点：
-便于升级应用服务版本: Savepoint 常在应用版本升级时使用，当前应用的新版本更新升级时，可以根据上一个版本程序记录的 Savepoint 内的服务状态信息来重启服务。它也可能会使用更早的 Savepoint 还原点来重启服务，以便于修复由于有缺陷的程序版本导致的不正确的程序运行结果。 方便集群服务移植: 通过使用 Savepoint，流服务应用可以自由的在不同集群中迁移部署。 方便Flink版本升级: 通过使用 Savepoint，可以使应用服务在升级Flink时，更加安全便捷。 增加应用并行服务的扩展性: Savepoint 也常在增加或减少应用服务集群的并行度时使用。 便于A/B测试及假设分析场景对比结果: 通过把同一应用在使用不同版本的应用程序，基于同一个 Savepoint 还原点启动服务时，可以测试对比2个或多个版本程序的性能及服务质量。 暂停和恢复服务: 一个应用服务可以在新建一个 Savepoint 后再停止服务，以便于后面任何时间点再根据这个实时刷新的 Savepoint 还原点进行恢复服务。 归档服务: Savepoint 还提供还原点的归档服务，以便于用户能够指定时间点的 Savepoint 的服务数据进行重置应用服务的状态，进行恢复服务。 监控和控制应用服务 # 如其它应用服务一样，持续运行的流应用服务也需要监控及集成到一些基础设施资源管理服务中，例如一个组件的监控服务及日志服务等。监控服务有助于预测问题并提前做出反应，日志服务提供日志记录能够帮助追踪、调查、分析故障发生的根本原因。最后，便捷易用的访问控制应用服务运行的接口也是Flink的一个重要的亮点特征。</description>

-      <description>应用场景 # Apache Flink 功能强大，支持开发和运行多种不同种类的应用程序。它的主要特性包括：批流一体化、精密的状态管理、事件时间支持以及精确一次的状态一致性保障等。Flink 不仅可以运行在包括 YARN、 Mesos、Kubernetes 在内的多种资源管理框架上，还支持在裸机集群上独立部署。在启用高可用选项的情况下，它不存在单点失效问题。事实证明，Flink 已经可以扩展到数千核心，其状态可以达到 TB 级别，且仍能保持高吞吐、低延迟的特性。世界各地有很多要求严苛的流处理应用都运行在 Flink 之上。
-接下来我们将介绍 Flink 常见的几类应用并给出相关实例链接。
-事件驱动型应用 数据分析应用 数据管道应用 事件驱动型应用 # 什么是事件驱动型应用？ # 事件驱动型应用是一类具有状态的应用，它从一个或多个事件流提取数据，并根据到来的事件触发计算、状态更新或其他外部动作。
-事件驱动型应用是在计算存储分离的传统应用基础上进化而来。在传统架构中，应用需要读写远程事务型数据库。
-相反，事件驱动型应用是基于状态化流处理来完成。在该设计中，数据和计算不会分离，应用只需访问本地（内存或磁盘）即可获取数据。系统容错性的实现依赖于定期向远程持久化存储写入 checkpoint。下图描述了传统应用和事件驱动型应用架构的区别。
-事件驱动型应用的优势？ # 事件驱动型应用无须查询远程数据库，本地数据访问使得它具有更高的吞吐和更低的延迟。而由于定期向远程持久化存储的 checkpoint 工作可以异步、增量式完成，因此对于正常事件处理的影响甚微。事件驱动型应用的优势不仅限于本地数据访问。传统分层架构下，通常多个应用会共享同一个数据库，因而任何对数据库自身的更改（例如：由应用更新或服务扩容导致数据布局发生改变）都需要谨慎协调。反观事件驱动型应用，由于只需考虑自身数据，因此在更改数据表示或服务扩容时所需的协调工作将大大减少。
-Flink 如何支持事件驱动型应用？ # 事件驱动型应用会受制于底层流处理系统对时间和状态的把控能力，Flink 诸多优秀特质都是围绕这些方面来设计的。它提供了一系列丰富的状态操作原语，允许以精确一次的一致性语义合并海量规模（TB 级别）的状态数据。此外，Flink 还支持事件时间和自由度极高的定制化窗口逻辑，而且它内置的 ProcessFunction 支持细粒度时间控制，方便实现一些高级业务逻辑。同时，Flink 还拥有一个复杂事件处理（CEP）类库，可以用来检测数据流中的模式。
-Flink 中针对事件驱动应用的明星特性当属 savepoint。Savepoint 是一个一致性的状态映像，它可以用来初始化任意状态兼容的应用。在完成一次 savepoint 后，即可放心对应用升级或扩容，还可以启动多个版本的应用来完成 A/B 测试。
-典型的事件驱动型应用实例 # 反欺诈 异常检测 基于规则的报警 业务流程监控 （社交网络）Web 应用 数据分析应用 # 什么是数据分析应用？ # 数据分析任务需要从原始数据中提取有价值的信息和指标。传统的分析方式通常是利用批查询，或将事件记录下来并基于此有限数据集构建应用来完成。为了得到最新数据的分析结果，必须先将它们加入分析数据集并重新执行查询或运行应用，随后将结果写入存储系统或生成报告。
-借助一些先进的流处理引擎，还可以实时地进行数据分析。和传统模式下读取有限数据集不同，流式查询或应用会接入实时事件流，并随着事件消费持续产生和更新结果。这些结果数据可能会写入外部数据库系统或以内部状态的形式维护。仪表展示应用可以相应地从外部数据库读取数据或直接查询应用的内部状态。
-如下图所示，Apache Flink 同时支持流式及批量分析应用。
-流式分析应用的优势？ # 和批量分析相比，由于流式分析省掉了周期性的数据导入和查询过程，因此从事件中获取指标的延迟更低。不仅如此，批量查询必须处理那些由定期导入和输入有界性导致的人工数据边界，而流式查询则无须考虑该问题。</description>

-      <description>如何审核 Pull Request # 本指南适用于希望帮助审核代码的所有提交者和贡献者。感谢你的努力 - 良好的审核是开源项目中最重要也是最关键的部分之一。本文旨在协助社区开展代码审核工作，以达到下列目的：
-让贡献者拥有良好的贡献体验。 将审核过程结构化，以涵盖所有需要检查的重要方面。 保持 Flink 代码的高质量。 避免贡献者和审核者花费大量时间完善代码却最终被拒绝提交的情况。 审核清单 # 每次审核都需要检查以下六个方面。 我们建议按照以下顺序进行检查，以避免在还没有就是否添加某项功能或需要改动达成共识之前或没有满足一些正式条件前，就花费时间进行详细的代码质量审核。
-1. 贡献的描述是否清晰？ # 检查贡献是否有充分的描述以方便审核，不重要的更改和修复不需要很长的描述。如果实现方案完全是按照之前在 Jira 或 dev 邮件列表上讨论结论进行的话，只需要一个对讨论的简短的引用即可。 如果实现方案与之前达成一致的方案不同的话，关于实现的详细描述是需要的，以便 review 贡献时更深入地讨论。
-任何改变功能或行为的 pull request 都需要描述这些改变的重点, 以便知道审核什么内容(并且不必钻研代码来了解更改的作用)。
-如果在不查看代码的情况下能回答以下问题2、3、4，则该贡献得到了很好的描述。
-2. 是否一致认为这一变更或者功能应该进入 Flink？ # 这个问题要直接在关联的 Jira issue 中回答。对于在达成一致前创建的 pull request 来说，需要先在 Jira 中寻求一致的意见。
-对于 [hotfix] 类型的的 pull request，可以在 pull request 中寻求意见一致。
-3. 贡献是否需要一些特定的 committer 的关注，这些 committer 有时间投入吗？ # 一些更改需要特定的 committer 的注意和批准。例如，对性能非常敏感或对分布式协调和容错有关键影响的部件中的更改，这需要一个对相应组件非常熟悉的 committer 的审核。
-根据经验，当 pull request 描述中对模板里问题 “Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts” 的回答为 “yes” 时，需要特别注意。</description>

-一次代码贡献(或者任何代码片段)可以从很多角度进行评价：一组评判标准是代码是否正确和高效。这需要正确且良好的解决逻辑或算法问题。
-另一组评判标准是代码是否使用了简洁的设计和架构，是否通过概念分离实现了良好的架构，是否足够简单易懂并且明确假设。该评判标准需要良好的解决软件工程问题。一个好的解决方案需要代码是容易被测试的，可以被除了原作者之外的其他人维护的（因为打破之后再维护是非常困难的），同时还需要能够高效的迭代演进的。
-不过第一组标准有相当客观的达成条件，相比之下要达到第二组评判标准更加困难，但是对于 Apache Flink 这样的开源项目来说却非常重要。为了能够吸引更多贡献者，为了的开源贡献能够更容易被开发者理解，同时也为了众多开发者同时开发时代码的健壮性，良好工程化的代码是至关重要的。1 对于良好的工程代码来说，更加容易保证代码的正确性和高效不会随着时间的推移受到影响
-当然，本指南并不是一份如何写出良好的工程代码的全方位指导。有相当多的书籍尝试说明如何实现良好的代码。本指南只是作为最佳实践的检查清单，包括我们在开发 Flink 过程中遇到的模式，反模式和常见错误。
-高质量的开源代码很大一部分是关于帮助 reviewer 理解和双重检查执行结果。所以，本指南的一个重要目的是关于如何为为 review 构建一个良好的 pull request
-在早期，我们（Flink 社区）并没有一直对此给予足够的重视，导致 Flink 的一些组件更难进化和贡献。&amp;#160;&amp;#x21a9;&amp;#xfe0e;</description>

-      <description>Apache Flink 是什么？ # Apache Flink 是一个框架和分布式处理引擎，用于在无边界和有边界数据流上进行有状态的计算。Flink 能在所有常见集群环境中运行，并能以内存速度和任意规模进行计算。
-接下来，我们来介绍一下 Flink 架构中的重要方面。
-处理无界和有界数据 # 任何类型的数据都可以形成一种事件流。信用卡交易、传感器测量、机器日志、网站或移动应用程序上的用户交互记录，所有这些数据都形成一种流。
-数据可以被作为 无界 或者 有界 流来处理。
-无界流 有定义流的开始，但没有定义流的结束。它们会无休止地产生数据。无界流的数据必须持续处理，即数据被摄取后需要立刻处理。我们不能等到所有数据都到达再处理，因为输入是无限的，在任何时候输入都不会完成。处理无界数据通常要求以特定顺序摄取事件，例如事件发生的顺序，以便能够推断结果的完整性。
-有界流 有定义流的开始，也有定义流的结束。有界流可以在摄取所有数据后再进行计算。有界流所有数据可以被排序，所以并不需要有序摄取。有界流处理通常被称为批处理
-Apache Flink 擅长处理无界和有界数据集 精确的时间控制和状态化使得 Flink 的运行时(runtime)能够运行任何处理无界流的应用。有界流则由一些专为固定大小数据集特殊设计的算法和数据结构进行内部处理，产生了出色的性能。
-通过探索 Flink 之上构建的 用例 来加深理解。
-部署应用到任意地方 # Apache Flink 是一个分布式系统，它需要计算资源来执行应用程序。Flink 集成了所有常见的集群资源管理器，例如 Hadoop YARN、 Apache Mesos 和 Kubernetes，但同时也可以作为独立集群运行。
-Flink 被设计为能够很好地工作在上述每个资源管理器中，这是通过资源管理器特定(resource-manager-specific)的部署模式实现的。Flink 可以采用与当前资源管理器相适应的方式进行交互。
-部署 Flink 应用程序时，Flink 会根据应用程序配置的并行性自动标识所需的资源，并从资源管理器请求这些资源。在发生故障的情况下，Flink 通过请求新资源来替换发生故障的容器。提交或控制应用程序的所有通信都是通过 REST 调用进行的，这可以简化 Flink 与各种环境中的集成。
-运行任意规模应用 # Flink 旨在任意规模上运行有状态流式应用。因此，应用程序被并行化为可能数千个任务，这些任务分布在集群中并发执行。所以应用程序能够充分利用无尽的 CPU、内存、磁盘和网络 IO。而且 Flink 很容易维护非常大的应用程序状态。其异步和增量的检查点算法对处理延迟产生最小的影响，同时保证精确一次状态的一致性。
-Flink 用户报告了其生产环境中一些令人印象深刻的扩展性数字
-处理每天处理数万亿的事件, 应用维护几TB大小的状态, 和 应用在数千个内核上运行。 利用内存性能 # 有状态的 Flink 程序针对本地状态访问进行了优化。任务的状态始终保留在内存中，如果状态大小超过可用内存，则会保存在能高效访问的磁盘数据结构中。任务通过访问本地（通常在内存中）状态来进行所有的计算，从而产生非常低的处理延迟。Flink 通过定期和异步地对本地状态进行持久化存储来保证故障场景下精确一次的状态一致性。</description>

-      <description>Apache Flink 是什么？ # Apache Flink 是一个针对无界和有界数据流进行有状态计算的框架。Flink 自底向上在不同的抽象级别提供了多种 API，并且针对常见的使用场景开发了专用的扩展库。
-在本章中，我们将介绍 Flink 所提供的这些简单易用、易于表达的 API 和库。
-流处理应用的基本组件 # 可以由流处理框架构建和执行的应用程序类型是由框架对 流、状态、时间 的支持程度来决定的。在下文中，我们将对上述这些流处理应用的基本组件逐一进行描述，并对 Flink 处理它们的方法进行细致剖析。
-流 # 显而易见，（数据）流是流处理的基本要素。然而，流也拥有着多种特征。这些特征决定了流如何以及何时被处理。Flink 是一个能够处理任何类型数据流的强大处理框架。
-有界 和 无界 的数据流：流可以是无界的；也可以是有界的，例如固定大小的数据集。Flink 在无界的数据流处理上拥有诸多功能强大的特性，同时也针对有界的数据流开发了专用的高效算子。 实时 和 历史记录 的数据流：所有的数据都是以流的方式产生，但用户通常会使用两种截然不同的方法处理数据。或是在数据生成时进行实时的处理；亦或是先将数据流持久化到存储系统中——例如文件系统或对象存储，然后再进行批处理。Flink 的应用能够同时支持处理实时以及历史记录数据流。 状态 # 只有在每一个单独的事件上进行转换操作的应用才不需要状态，换言之，每一个具有一定复杂度的流处理应用都是有状态的。任何运行基本业务逻辑的流处理应用都需要在一定时间内存储所接收的事件或中间结果，以供后续的某个时间点（例如收到下一个事件或者经过一段特定时间）进行访问并进行后续处理。
-应用状态是 Flink 中的一等公民，Flink 提供了许多状态管理相关的特性支持，其中包括：
-多种状态基础类型：Flink 为多种不同的数据结构提供了相对应的状态基础类型，例如原子值（value），列表（list）以及映射（map）。开发者可以基于处理函数对状态的访问方式，选择最高效、最适合的状态基础类型。 插件化的State Backend：State Backend 负责管理应用程序状态，并在需要的时候进行 checkpoint。Flink 支持多种 state backend，可以将状态存在内存或者 RocksDB。RocksDB 是一种高效的嵌入式、持久化键值存储引擎。Flink 也支持插件式的自定义 state backend 进行状态存储。 精确一次语义：Flink 的 checkpoint 和故障恢复算法保证了故障发生后应用状态的一致性。因此，Flink 能够在应用程序发生故障时，对应用程序透明，不造成正确性的影响。 超大数据量状态：Flink 能够利用其异步以及增量式的 checkpoint 算法，存储数 TB 级别的应用状态。 可弹性伸缩的应用：Flink 能够通过在更多或更少的工作节点上对状态进行重新分布，支持有状态应用的分布式的横向伸缩。 时间 # 时间是流处理应用另一个重要的组成部分。因为事件总是在特定时间点发生，所以大多数的事件流都拥有事件本身所固有的时间语义。进一步而言，许多常见的流计算都基于时间语义，例如窗口聚合、会话计算、模式检测和基于时间的 join。流处理的一个重要方面是应用程序如何衡量时间，即区分事件时间（event-time）和处理时间（processing-time）。</description>

-      <description>Apache Flink 是什么？ # Apache Flink 是一个针对无界和有界数据流进行有状态计算的框架。由于许多流应用程序旨在以最短的停机时间连续运行，因此流处理器必须提供出色的故障恢复能力，以及在应用程序运行期间进行监控和维护的工具。
-Apache Flink 非常注重流数据处理的可运维性。因此在这一小节中，我们将详细介绍 Flink 的故障恢复机制，并介绍其管理和监控应用的功能。
-7 * 24小时稳定运行 # 在分布式系统中，服务故障是常有的事，为了保证服务能够7*24小时稳定运行，像Flink这样的流处理器故障恢复机制是必须要有的。显然这就意味着，它(这类流处理器)不仅要能在服务出现故障时候能够重启服务，而且还要当故障发生时，保证能够持久化服务内部各个组件的当前状态，只有这样才能保证在故障恢复时候，服务能够继续正常运行，好像故障就没有发生过一样。
-Flink通过几下多种机制维护应用可持续运行及其一致性:
-检查点的一致性: Flink的故障恢复机制是通过建立分布式应用服务状态一致性检查点实现的，当有故障产生时，应用服务会重启后，再重新加载上一次成功备份的状态检查点信息。结合可重放的数据源，该特性可保证*精确一次（exactly-once）*的状态一致性。 高效的检查点: 如果一个应用要维护一个TB级的状态信息，对此应用的状态建立检查点服务的资源开销是很高的，为了减小因检查点服务对应用的延迟性（SLAs服务等级协议）的影响，Flink采用异步及增量的方式构建检查点服务。 端到端的精确一次: Flink 为某些特定的存储支持了事务型输出的功能，及时在发生故障的情况下，也能够保证精确一次的输出。 集成多种集群管理服务: Flink已与多种集群管理服务紧密集成，如 Hadoop YARN, Mesos, 以及 Kubernetes。当集群中某个流程任务失败后，一个新的流程服务会自动启动并替代它继续执行。 内置高可用服务: Flink内置了为解决单点故障问题的高可用性服务模块，此模块是基于Apache ZooKeeper 技术实现的，Apache ZooKeeper是一种可靠的、交互式的、分布式协调服务组件。 Flink能够更方便地升级、迁移、暂停、恢复应用服务 # 驱动关键业务服务的流应用是经常需要维护的。比如需要修复系统漏洞，改进功能，或开发新功能。然而升级一个有状态的流应用并不是简单的事情，因为在我们为了升级一个改进后版本而简单停止当前流应用并重启时，我们还不能丢失掉当前流应用的所处于的状态信息。
-而Flink的 Savepoint 服务就是为解决升级服务过程中记录流应用状态信息及其相关难题而产生的一种唯一的、强大的组件。一个 Savepoint，就是一个应用服务状态的一致性快照，因此其与checkpoint组件的很相似，但是与checkpoint相比，Savepoint 需要手动触发启动，而且当流应用服务停止时，它并不会自动删除。Savepoint 常被应用于启动一个已含有状态的流服务，并初始化其（备份时）状态。Savepoint 有以下特点：
-便于升级应用服务版本: Savepoint 常在应用版本升级时使用，当前应用的新版本更新升级时，可以根据上一个版本程序记录的 Savepoint 内的服务状态信息来重启服务。它也可能会使用更早的 Savepoint 还原点来重启服务，以便于修复由于有缺陷的程序版本导致的不正确的程序运行结果。 方便集群服务移植: 通过使用 Savepoint，流服务应用可以自由的在不同集群中迁移部署。 方便Flink版本升级: 通过使用 Savepoint，可以使应用服务在升级Flink时，更加安全便捷。 增加应用并行服务的扩展性: Savepoint 也常在增加或减少应用服务集群的并行度时使用。 便于A/B测试及假设分析场景对比结果: 通过把同一应用在使用不同版本的应用程序，基于同一个 Savepoint 还原点启动服务时，可以测试对比2个或多个版本程序的性能及服务质量。 暂停和恢复服务: 一个应用服务可以在新建一个 Savepoint 后再停止服务，以便于后面任何时间点再根据这个实时刷新的 Savepoint 还原点进行恢复服务。 归档服务: Savepoint 还提供还原点的归档服务，以便于用户能够指定时间点的 Savepoint 的服务数据进行重置应用服务的状态，进行恢复服务。 监控和控制应用服务 # 如其它应用服务一样，持续运行的流应用服务也需要监控及集成到一些基础设施资源管理服务中，例如一个组件的监控服务及日志服务等。监控服务有助于预测问题并提前做出反应，日志服务提供日志记录能够帮助追踪、调查、分析故障发生的根本原因。最后，便捷易用的访问控制应用服务运行的接口也是Flink的一个重要的亮点特征。</description>

-      <description>应用场景 # Apache Flink 功能强大，支持开发和运行多种不同种类的应用程序。它的主要特性包括：批流一体化、精密的状态管理、事件时间支持以及精确一次的状态一致性保障等。Flink 不仅可以运行在包括 YARN、 Mesos、Kubernetes 在内的多种资源管理框架上，还支持在裸机集群上独立部署。在启用高可用选项的情况下，它不存在单点失效问题。事实证明，Flink 已经可以扩展到数千核心，其状态可以达到 TB 级别，且仍能保持高吞吐、低延迟的特性。世界各地有很多要求严苛的流处理应用都运行在 Flink 之上。
-接下来我们将介绍 Flink 常见的几类应用并给出相关实例链接。
-事件驱动型应用 数据分析应用 数据管道应用 事件驱动型应用 # 什么是事件驱动型应用？ # 事件驱动型应用是一类具有状态的应用，它从一个或多个事件流提取数据，并根据到来的事件触发计算、状态更新或其他外部动作。
-事件驱动型应用是在计算存储分离的传统应用基础上进化而来。在传统架构中，应用需要读写远程事务型数据库。
-相反，事件驱动型应用是基于状态化流处理来完成。在该设计中，数据和计算不会分离，应用只需访问本地（内存或磁盘）即可获取数据。系统容错性的实现依赖于定期向远程持久化存储写入 checkpoint。下图描述了传统应用和事件驱动型应用架构的区别。
-事件驱动型应用的优势？ # 事件驱动型应用无须查询远程数据库，本地数据访问使得它具有更高的吞吐和更低的延迟。而由于定期向远程持久化存储的 checkpoint 工作可以异步、增量式完成，因此对于正常事件处理的影响甚微。事件驱动型应用的优势不仅限于本地数据访问。传统分层架构下，通常多个应用会共享同一个数据库，因而任何对数据库自身的更改（例如：由应用更新或服务扩容导致数据布局发生改变）都需要谨慎协调。反观事件驱动型应用，由于只需考虑自身数据，因此在更改数据表示或服务扩容时所需的协调工作将大大减少。
-Flink 如何支持事件驱动型应用？ # 事件驱动型应用会受制于底层流处理系统对时间和状态的把控能力，Flink 诸多优秀特质都是围绕这些方面来设计的。它提供了一系列丰富的状态操作原语，允许以精确一次的一致性语义合并海量规模（TB 级别）的状态数据。此外，Flink 还支持事件时间和自由度极高的定制化窗口逻辑，而且它内置的 ProcessFunction 支持细粒度时间控制，方便实现一些高级业务逻辑。同时，Flink 还拥有一个复杂事件处理（CEP）类库，可以用来检测数据流中的模式。
-Flink 中针对事件驱动应用的明星特性当属 savepoint。Savepoint 是一个一致性的状态映像，它可以用来初始化任意状态兼容的应用。在完成一次 savepoint 后，即可放心对应用升级或扩容，还可以启动多个版本的应用来完成 A/B 测试。
-典型的事件驱动型应用实例 # 反欺诈 异常检测 基于规则的报警 业务流程监控 （社交网络）Web 应用 数据分析应用 # 什么是数据分析应用？ # 数据分析任务需要从原始数据中提取有价值的信息和指标。传统的分析方式通常是利用批查询，或将事件记录下来并基于此有限数据集构建应用来完成。为了得到最新数据的分析结果，必须先将它们加入分析数据集并重新执行查询或运行应用，随后将结果写入存储系统或生成报告。
-借助一些先进的流处理引擎，还可以实时地进行数据分析。和传统模式下读取有限数据集不同，流式查询或应用会接入实时事件流，并随着事件消费持续产生和更新结果。这些结果数据可能会写入外部数据库系统或以内部状态的形式维护。仪表展示应用可以相应地从外部数据库读取数据或直接查询应用的内部状态。
-如下图所示，Apache Flink 同时支持流式及批量分析应用。
-流式分析应用的优势？ # 和批量分析相比，由于流式分析省掉了周期性的数据导入和查询过程，因此从事件中获取指标的延迟更低。不仅如此，批量查询必须处理那些由定期导入和输入有界性导致的人工数据边界，而流式查询则无须考虑该问题。</description>
