Hi Yuvraj,

Vino is right, having a customized function is probably the easiest at this moment. 

Alternatively, I think what you are looking for is very much similar to side-input feature of data stream[2]. 

Thanks,
Rong

Hi yuvraj,

Sorry, I didn't see it clearly. I think in many UDF contexts, such as MapFunction, ProcessFunction, etc., you can access the Rest API as a client. 
Also if you want to improve performance, maybe async I/O will help you[1].


Thanks, vino.
