How does apache beam fits with flink ? Is it an alternative for flink or complementary to it ? Thanks |
Hi Ashutosh Apache Beam provides a Unified API for batch and streaming. It also supports multiple ‘runners’: local, Apache Spark, Apache Flink and Google Cloud Data Flow (commercial service). It is not an alternative to Flink because it is an API and you still need an execution engine. It can be used as an alternative API to using the two Flink APIs : DataSet API and DataStream API. It can be complementary to Flink in the way that you use Beam as API and Flink as the execution engine. Many of Flink committers are also Apache Beam committers! The following blogs describe why Apache Beam:

Thanks . So if we use Beam API with flink engine then we can get inter action between batch and stream ? As i know currently in flink Dataset and DStream can not talk . Is this correct ? ThanksOn Thu, May 26, 2016 at 1:09 PM, Slim Baltagi <[hidden email]> wrote:

No, that is not supported yet. Beam provides a common API but the Flink runner translates programs against batch sources into the DataSet API programs and Beam programs against streaming source into DataStream programs.2016-05-26 10:00 GMT+02:00 Ashutosh Kumar <[hidden email]>:

Hi Ashutosh There is a related open JIRA: Enable DataSet and DataStream Joins https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-2320 Slim

Small addition: The Flink Runner translates into the DataSet or
DataStream API depending on the "streaming" flag of the PipelineOptions. The default mode is batch. Ultimately, this flag we be removed and replaced with an automated decision depending on the sources used.
