What is Apache Flink?
Apache Flink: An open-source engine for stateful computation over unbounded event streams, with precise control of event time, windows and fault-tolerant state. It also handles batch work by treating a finite dataset as a bounded stream.
Apache Flink: an example
A Flink job keeps a running count of failed logins per user over the last five minutes and raises an alert above a threshold.
