A tale of Squirrels and Storms
In this talk, we given an overview of Flink’s compatibility layer for Apache Storm. This layer can be used to execute whole Storm topologies without code adaption. Furthermore, single Spouts or Bolts can be embedded as single operators in regular Flink streaming programs seamlessly. Furthermore, this talk points out high-level and internal differences and commonalities of Flink streaming and Storm.
