Thank you very much. You've been very helpful.  

Since my intermediate results are large, I suspect that io.tmp.dirs must literally be on the local file system. Thus, since I use EMR, I'll need to configure EBS to support more data.

Hi Marco,

With BATCH mode, all the ALL_TO_ALL edges would be marked as blocking

and would use intermediate file to transfer data. Flink now support hash shuffle 

and sort shuffle for blocking edges[1], both of them stores the intermediate files in

the directories configured by io.tmp.dirs[2].

Subject:DataStream Batch Execution Mode and large files.

Hi,

I am using the DataStream API in Batch Execution Mode, and my "source" is an s3 Buckets with about 500 GB of data spread across many files.

Where does Flink stored the results of processed / produced data between tasks?

There is no way that 500GB will fit in memory.  So I am very curious how that happens.

Can somebody please explain?

Thank you.
