Flink architecture and execution engine


Flink is a platform for distributed stream and batch data processing. The core of Flink is a streaming dataflow engine. Flink is based on Kappa architecture. Kappa architecture was introduced in 2014 by Jay Kreps in https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/questioning-the-lambda-architecture which addresses the pitfalls of Lambda architecture. So before going into the details of Flink, let's figure out the base of Flink: Kappa architecture. Kappa architecture is designed to handle real-time data processing and continuous data reprocessing using a single data stream. There were two main concerns raised related to Lambda architecture: maintaining two different code bases for real-time analytics and batch analytics on the same source data and the reprocessing of events will require code changes which is not easy to maintain as seen in the following figure:

So in Kappa architecture, there is everything in streaming data. In case of the failure and reprocessing of...
