Best way to deriving streams from another one

[AndreaKinn]

Hi,
I have a data stream resulting from an operation executed on a data stream
of data.
Essentially I want to obtain two different streams from that one to send
their to different cassandra tables.

I.e.:

datastream 0 composed by Tuple3<Val1, Val2, Val3>

I want to have:

 a datastream 1 composed by every triple <Val1,Val2,Val3> of datastream 0
where Val2 > X
and
a data stream 2 composed by every couple <Val1, Val3>.

This lied me to have two datastreams with Tuples of different arity (3 and
2).

Currently I have implemented it getting the 0 datastream and then calling
separately a map function to retrieve datastream 2 and a flatmap function to
retrieve datastream 1. So I have two different prepared statement of
Cassandra called on the two different streams.
It works fine.

However this solutions looks really awful and inefficient, there is a more
elegant alternative?

I tried also to send towards Cassandra a datastream<Val1,Val2,Val3> and
select in the statement just two values (in this way I should use just the
flatmap operator) but during the execution raise an exception on it.

Have a look at side outputs in the documentation, they allow you to emit
to multiple streams (of different types!) with a ProcessFunction.
