ok. I am sorry, I thought that was you that said this. Maybe it is just a matter of expression that made the question confused. But, yes. In the source function something can be done. Not before. *--* *-- Felipe Gutierrez* *-- skype: felipe.o.gutierrez* *--*

Hi Felipe, >> But you said, "before it hits the Source". I did not say this. Vijay said it. About this question, he may not think about customizing the source connector. If he does not try to find a solution in the Flink domain. Why he asked Flink questions and pasted Flink program? IMO, It's

Hi Vino, yes, in the source function it is possible. But you said, "before it hits the Source". So, IMO I think it is outside of the flink workflow. Best, Felipe *--* *-- Felipe Gutierrez* *-- skype: felipe.o.gutierrez* *--* *https://felipeogutierrez.blogspot.com

Hi Felipe, Why do you think it's not possible. My thought is we can do the data pre-procession in the source function. If so, source function would contain consume upstream events then do pre-processing then emits to the downstream. Best, Vino Felipe Gutierrez 于2019年11月26日周二 下午4:56写道: > I

I am afraid that this is not possible in FLink, since the entry point of all transformation is the source function. Everything that we can pre-process is in the source function or on the downstream operators. If you want to pre-process something before the data hits the source you will have to

Hi Vijay, IMO, the semantics of the source is not changeless. It can contain integrate with third-party systems and consume events. However, it can also contain more business logic about your data pre-process after consuming events. Maybe it needs some customization. WDYT? Best, Vino Vijay

Pre-process data before it hits the Source

2019-11-25 Thread Vijay Balakrishnan
Hi, Need to pre-process data(transform incoming data to a different format) before it hits the Source I have defined. How can I do that ? I tried to use a .map on the DataStream but that is too late as the data has already hit the Source I defined. FlinkKinesisConsumer> kinesisConsumer =
