Robert, Regarding the event qps 4500 events/sec may not be large no, but I am seeing some issue in processing the events due to processing power that I am using, I have deployed flink app on 3 node yarn cluster one node is a master, 2 slave nodes which has the taskmanager running. Each machine is a 2 core machine with 4 gb ram,with default.parallelism set to 4, I find there is delay of 2 hours from the time event enters into the system to time it gets into the sink, it looks like the events are checkpointed but processed with a huge delay inside flink, is there any recommendation(wiki write up) for the no of taskmanager slots required for processing for certain load of incoming data.
