What is Apache Flink?

Flink’s core is a streaming dataflow engine that provides data distribution, communication, and fault tolerance for distributed computations over data streams.

Flink includes several APIs for creating applications that use the Flink engine:

DataSet API for static data embedded in Java, Scala, and Python, DataStream API for unbounded streams embedded in Java and Scala, and Table API with a SQL-like expression language embedded in Java and Scala. Flink also bundles libraries for domain-specific use cases:

Machine Learning library, and Gelly, a graph processing API and library. You can integrate Flink easily with other well-known open source systems both for data input and output as well as deployment.
