Hi Flink user group, I have a question around broadcast.
Reading the docs https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/dev/datastream/fault-tolerance/broadcast_state/#important-considerations, it says the following: > Order of events in Broadcast State may differ across tasks: Although > broadcasting the elements of a stream guarantees that all elements will > (eventually) go to all downstream tasks, elements may arrive in a different > order to each task. So the state updates for each incoming element MUST NOT > depend on the ordering of the incoming events. I think this is refering to the order between broadcasted element and non broadcasted element, right? The broadcasted element should arrive in the same order across all tasks, right? For example, given a broadcasted stream A, and a non-broadcasted stream B When joining A and B, elements from A should always reach all tasks in the same order right? Its just the interleaving of A and B that might differ across tasks, did I understand it correctly? I wasn't sure because its not clear to me by just reading the doc, happy to update the doc once its clarified here. Kind regards.
