Hi,

I think the reason why this information is not written anywhere is because we don't know it either.

Alibaba seems to run a fork of Flink on "thousands of nodes" [1].

Maybe some of the production users on this mailing list can share some information regarding this.

FAQ[1], mailing list[2], and the powered by page[3] doesn't find
related information. Just out of curiosity, what is the current
largest Flink cluster size running in production? For instance, long
time ago yahoo [4] ran 4k hadoop nodes in production.

Thanks
