Hi Andrea, If you are using Flink for research and/or testing purpose, standalone Flink is more or less sufficient. Although if you have a huge amount of data, it may take forever to process data with only one node/machine and that's where a cluster would be needed. A yarn and mesos cluster could provide you high availability and fault tolerance so that you don't lose your data if something happens to one of the nodes in your cluster setup. Also, AFAIK, flink relies on a resource manager like Yarn or Mesos to distribute the task between multiple nodes so that you don't have to worry about that distribution.
For the rest, I would like the experts here to correct me and add more info here. -- View this message in context: http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/How-choose-between-YARN-Mesos-StandAlone-Flink-tp13793p13801.html Sent from the Apache Flink User Mailing List archive. mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
