An interesting apache project: Reef

[kovas boguta]

Some people here (especially Flink contributors) might be interested to know about this project: https://reef.apache.org/index.html

It is lower-level than Flink (and less mature), but with similar architectural sensibilities and emphasis on interfaces. It would be pretty interesting to compare the designs in areas of overlap, and maybe some cross-pollination of ideas (if not outright reuse/compatibility) is possible. 

Also check out the related subprojects:

https://reef.apache.org/wake.html

Thanks for the pointers.

I actually know some of the Reef people (like Markus Weimer) and we talked about ideas a few times. Especially around batch and iterations. There were many common thoughts and good discussions.

In the streaming space, I think Flink and Reef diverged quite a bit (checkpointing, latency, state).
