Dear Flink community,
in order to better understand the needs of our users and to plan for the
future, I wanted to reach out to you and ask how much you use Flink's
Python API, namely flink-python and flink-streaming-python.
In order to gather feedback, I would like to ask all Python users to

Hi Xianda,
thanks for sharing this detailed feedback. Do I understand you correctly
that flink-python and flink-streaming-python are not usable for the use
cases at Alibaba atm?
Could you share a bit more details about the Python UDFs for SQL? How do
you execute the Python code? Will it work with
Hi Till,
1. So far as I know, most of the users at Alibaba are using SQL. Some of
users at Alibaba want integrated python libraries with Flink for streaming
processing, and Jython is unusable.
2. Python UDFs for SQL:
* declaring python UDF based on Alibaba's internal DDL syntax.
* start a Python
Did you take a look at Apache Beam? It already provides a comprehensive
Python SDK and can be used with Flink:

We are using it at Lyft for Python streaming pipelines.

I like that we are having a general discussion about how to use Python and
Flink together in the future.
The current python support has some shortcomings that were mentioned

another thread.

Thanks a lot for the feedback for this survey. I will close it now since 6
days have passed without new activity.
To me it seems that we currently don't have many users who use flink-python
or flink-streaming-python because of their limitations (mentioned in the
survey by Xianda). This information
