Apache Flink

Explore Apache Flink and its role in distributed data processing systems. Understand its streaming and batch processing capabilities, core constructs like streams and transformations, and its architecture involving Job Manager and Task Managers. Learn how Flink achieves high throughput and low latency in processing unbounded data streams.

We'll cover the following...

Apache Flink is an open-source stream-processing framework developed by Carbone et al.P. Carbone, A. Katsifodimos, S. Ewen, V. Markl, S. Haridi, and K. Tzoumas, “Apache FlinkTM: Stream and Batch Processing in a Single Engine,” IEEE Data Engineering Bulletin 2015, 2015. at Apache Software Foundation to provide a high throughput, low latency data processing engine.

Note: This is the main differentiator between Flink and Spark. Flink processes incoming data as they arrive, ...
