We need another distributed system for counting words like we need another javascript framework for writing a Todo list app.
We need another bafflegab project description like a school of fish needs a robotic assembly line for bicycles. From the site:
Flink Overview
Apache Flink (incubating) is a platform for efficient, distributed, general-purpose data processing. It features powerful programming abstractions in Java and Scala, a high-performance runtime, and automatic program optimization. It has native support for iterations, incremental iterations, and programs consisting of large DAGs of operations.
If you quickly want to try out the system, please look at one of the available quickstarts. For a thorough introduction of the Flink API please refer to the Programming Guide.
So, what's that say it's for?
