Introduction to Stateful Stream Processing with Apache Flink
Stream Processing has evolved quickly in a short time: only a few years ago, it was mostly simple real-time aggregations with limited throughput and consistency. Today, many stream processing applications have sophisticated business logic, strict correctness guarantees, high performance, low latency, and maintain terabytes of state without databases. Stream processing frameworks also abstract a lot of the low-level details away, such as routing the data streams, taking care of concurrent executions, and handling various failure scenarios while ensuring correctness.Extending Functional Pipelines with Gatherers
The Stream API has a wealth of methods, like filter, map, takeWhile, limit, and so on, to build functional pipelines. Yet, you may run into situations in your applications that readily do not fall in place to make use of these built-in methods. The new gatherer() function, along with the Gatherer interface, gives you the necessary tools to create your own custom steps in the functional pipeline. In this presentation, learn about the different types of gatherers and how to implement them using practical live-coded examples.Speakers
