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: More Info »
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.
