State Management in Apache Flink (Notes)

What are key takeaways

• Managing application state.
• Strong consistency guarantees.
• Adaptivity to cluster reconfig.

What is meant by transparent and non-intrusive?

What is meant by application state declared explicitly?

How does this help efficient partitioning?

How are stream databases used in contrast to traditional databases?

• Traditional database will share access to a db instance, perform computation on that instance.
• Stream database on the other hand will perform computation, where n people can subscribe to various computations.
