@nragon - I think this is a classical "benchmarketing" post. A few thoughts on that
- The benchmark is testing a complete toy case, with a few KBs of state. It says little about most interesting use cases with larger state.
- The Flink system runs the benchmark with a low latency engine that is also capable of exactly once guarantees. A thing that does not exist the other compared systems.
==> Test your personal application in Flink and Spark, with respect to performance, robustness to load spikes and backpressure, ability to operate/migrate/update, etc. I am pretty sure you will find that Flink has a lot of very powerful unique aspects to it for streaming applications.
