Hi Nicos,

For Checkpoint you can see the API in PythonStreamExecutionEnvironment.

But it can not set TimeCharacteristic now. I will create a JIRA issue for this. 

Thanks, vino.

Thanks Vino,

Comparing functionalities in terms of the transformations is clear but what about timestamps and state?

Hi Nicos,

You can read the official documentation of latest Python API about DataStream transformation[1] and latest Java API transformation[2].

However, the latest documentation may not react the new feature especially for Python API, so you can also compare the implementation of DataStream(java)[3] and PythonDataStream [4]. Note, for [3], it's not completed because some API exists in other stream objects such keyed data stream.

Thanks, vino.

Which java features of flink are not supported by the python API when writing a pipeline?
