Hi,
The examples given (by greghogan) are specialized C++ programs. I don't say
that this example shows Flink's capabilities relative to other solutions but
that it's a very helpful for the novice to understand how to setup a new Flink
program and use the DeltaIteration API call and is also in the spirit of some
other Flink examples like 'Pi Estimation'.
In fact it helped me a lot to learn about developing with Flink because the
documentation was/is quite lacking in many areas.
Most novices do benefit from examples first and from good documentation
later when they grasp the subject.
I'm closing this anyway as I'm not in the Flink community of users and
don't have time and further interest to start a discussion for such a simple
example.
