If the dataset is too large for a file, you can put it behind a service and have your stream operators query the service for enrichment. You can even support updates to that dataset in a style very similar to the "lambda architecture" discussed elsewhere.

Hi,
this is currently not support yet. However, this feature is on our roadmap and has been requested for a few times.
So I hope somebody will pick it up soon.
If the static data set is small enough, you can read the full data set (e.g., as a file) in the open method of FlatMapFunction, build a hash-table, and do a hash join in the map method.
Best, Fabian
