Hi Andre,

every keyBy is a shuffle over the network and thus introduces some overhead. Esp. serialization of records between operators if object reuse is disabled by default. If you think that not all slots (and thus all nodes) are not fully occupied evenly in the first keyBy operation (e.g. if you key space is just 2 values) than it makes sense to have a second keyBy to do the heavy computation on the more granular key to have as much parallelism as possible. It really depends on your job.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Timo

Hello,
In my opinion , it would be meaningful only on this situation:
1. The total size of all your stats is huge enough, e.g. 1GB+.
2. Splitting  you job to multiple KeyBy process would reduce the size of your stats.

Because operation of saving stats is synchronized and all working threads are blocked until the saving stats operation finished. Our team is trying to make the process of saving stats async, plz refer to : http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Slow-flink-checkpoint-td18946.html

Hello Flink Community,

I am relatively new to Flink. In the project I am currently working on I've a dataflow with a keyBy() operator, which I want to convert to dataflow with
multiple keyBy() operators like this:


 Source -->
 KeyBy() -->
 Stateful process() function that generates a more granular key -->
 KeyBy(<id generated in the previous step>) -->
 More stateful computation(s) -->
 Sink

Are there any downsides to this approach?
My reasoning behind the second keyBy() is to reduce the amount of state and
hence improve the processing speed.

Thanks,
Andre
