Disabling chaining does not necessarily mean that the data is sent over the
network then. Flink will still try to schedule the tasks to the same machine.
Doing a benchmark is a good idea. I think we've also done it in the past
and we concluded that the reentrant lock is too expensive if I remember
correctly.
> Provide support for asynchronous operations over streams

> Key: FLINK-4391
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4391
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: DataStream API
> Reporter: Jamie Grier
> Assignee: david.wang
>
> Many Flink users need to do asynchronous processing driven by data from a
> DataStream. The classic example would be joining against an external
> database in order to enrich a stream with extra information.
> It would be nice to add general support for this type of operation in the
> Flink API. Ideally this could simply take the form of a new operator that
> manages async operations, keeps so many of them in flight, and then emits
> results to downstream operators as the async operations complete.
