The new Apache Flink steaming model and new features in Flink-0.10

This talk discusses about data streaming architectures and the new streaming model in Apache Flink, which is currently being released as part of Flink 0.10. In particular, we will talk about event-time processing, flexible windowing, stateful computations, fault tolerance, and high-availability.
