Thank you Kostas & Ufuk. I get into the following compilation error when I use checkpointed interface. Pasting the code & message as follows:

Is the Serializable definition supposed to be from java.io.Serializable or somewhere else?

Thanks again,
Buvana

Subject: Re: flink - Working with State example

Exactly as Ufuk suggested, if you are not grouping your stream by key, you should use the checkpointed interface.

The reason I asked before if you are using the keyBy() is because this is the one that implicitly sets the keySerializer and scopes your (keyed) state to a specific key.

If there is no keying, then keyed state cannot be used and the Checkpointed interface should be used instead.

Let us know if you need anything else.
