Preface
What You Will Learn in This Book
This book will teach you everything you need to know about stream processing with Apache Flink. It consists of 11 chapters that hopefully tell a coherent story. While some chapters are descriptive and aim to introduce high-level design concepts, others are more hands-on and contain many code examples.
While we intended for the book to be read in chapter order when we were writing it, readers familiar with a chapter’s content might want to skip it. Others more interested in writing Flink code right away might want to read the practical chapters first. In the following, we briefly describe the contents of each chapter, so you can directly jump to those chapters that interest you most.
-
Chapter 1 gives an overview of stateful stream processing, data processing application architectures, application designs, and the benefits of stream processing over traditional approaches. It also gives you a brief look at what it is like to run your first streaming application on a local Flink instance.
-
Chapter 2 discusses the fundamental concepts and challenges of stream processing, independent of Flink.
-
Chapter 3 describes Flink’s system architecture and internals. It discusses distributed architecture, time and state handling in streaming applications, and Flink’s fault-tolerance mechanisms.
-
Chapter 4 explains how to set up an environment to develop and debug Flink applications.
-
Chapter 5 introduces you to the basics of the Flink’s DataStream ...
