+1 for the clear and brief feature descriptions! I am not so sure about the structure of the points, especially separating "Streaming" and "Batch and Streaming in One System" does not support the message of a unified system, IMO.
How about categorizing the points into three sections (Internals, API, Integration) and structuring the points for example as follows: -- High Performance, Robust Execution, and Fault-tolerance High performance Continuous Streaming Model with Flow Control Fault-tolerance via Lightweight Distributed Snapshots Memory Management Iterations and Delta Iterations -- Ease of use, APIs, and Clear Semantics One runtime for Streaming and Batch Processing Expressive APIs (Batch + Streaming) Exactly-once Semantics for Stateful Computations Program Optimizer Library Ecosystem -- Integration Broad Integration Cheers, Fabian 2015-07-07 10:39 GMT+02:00 Till Rohrmann <trohrm...@apache.org>: > I also like the new feature page.
