Wow, impressive contribution! I would very much like to add SSP to Flink.
This is quite a lot, so it may take a bit to review and merge.
Here are some initial thoughts:
- The SSP slack is defined as a job-wide parameter. Can you make it a
parameter of the respective bulk iteration (that also has the mode PLAIN/SSP) ?
- The code includes Apache Ignite as a parameter server. Is it possible
to make this independent of Ignite? I know that SSP is usually used in
parameter server ML settings, but I would like to not tie Ignite (another big
dependency) into the Flink codebase.
