Hi Chirag, Indeed, the possibility of using Redis as a state backend for Flink has been considered in the past. You can find a detailed discussion about this topic in the JIRA issue FLINK-3035[1] as well as in the comments section of this PR[2].
The outcome of these discussions was that Redis is not well suited to serve as a state backend for Flink. Best regards, Junrui [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3035 [2] https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1617 Chirag Dewan via user <user@flink.apache.org> 于2024年1月30日周二 14:15写道： > Hi, > > I was looking at the FLIP-254: Redis Streams Connector and I was > wondering if Flink ever considered Redis as a state backend?
