I’m Alexander from Confluent. I am new to Flink and its community. I would like to contribute to the Flink Table Store, but am missing certain details. Can someone please clarify the points mentioned below to me?
- Given that there is always a single writer to a stream, in what situations can concurrent writes ever happen to Flink Table Store? FLIP-188 mentions reprocessing and snapshot generation, but I do not understand how these cases can lead to more than a single writer. - If there are concurrent INSERTs into a table baked by Flink Table Store, how and by what component are they serialized? - Is Flink Table Store going to support ACID transactions? - Do Flink Table Store snapshots correspond 1:1 to Flink checkpoints? - Does Flink Table Store (plan to) support secondary indexes? - Is there an open roadmap for this Flink Table Store? Thank you, Alexander
