From version 1.1.0 to 1.6.0, Apache Flink’s relentless improvement exemplifies open-source development.Open-source big data computing engine Apache Flink, or Flink for short, has gained popularity in recent years as a powerful framework for both batch processing and stream processing that can be used to create a number of event-based applications.Flink is first of all a pure stream computing engine with a data stream basic data model. A stream can be infinite and borderless, which describes stream processing in the general sense, or can be a finite stream with boundaries, as in the case of batch processing. Flink thus uses a single architecture to support both stream and batch processing.As conveyed by its slogan “Stateful Computations Over Streams”, Flink has the additional strength of (...)
