Hi flink. Im happy to announce that ive done a small bit of initial hacking on bigpetstore-flink, in order to represent what we do in spark in flink.
TL;DR the main question is at the bottom! Currently, i want to generate transactions for a list of customers. The generation of transactions is a parallel process, and the customers are generated beforehand. In hadoop , we can create an input format with custom splits if we want to split a data set up, otherwise, we can break it into files. in spark, there is a conveneint "parallelize" which we can run on a list, which we can then capture the RDD from , and run a parallelized transform. In flink, i have an array of "customers" and i want to parallelize our transaction generator for each customer. How would i do that? -- jay vyas
