Thanks, Matthias, for starting this. It looks a bit like the article talks more about the Stratosphere project than Flink right now. I think we need to make a few things clear, to not confuse people:
1) Flink != Stratosphere. When looking at the Stratosphere Paper and when looking at Flink, you look at two completely different things. It is not just that a name changed. 2) It is not Stratosphere that became an Apache project. The project that became Apache Flink was forked from a subset of the Stratosphere project (core runtime only). That subset covered 1.5 out of the 5 areas of Stratosphere. When Flink became an Apache project, the only features it contained that were developed as part of Stratosphere, were the iterations, and the optimizer. Everything else had been re-developed. 3) Flink has nothing to do with Stratosphere II. Even though that research project talks about streaming, they have a very different angle to that. I am writing this, because we are working heavy on making it easier for people to grasp what Flink is, and what it is not. A system with so many features and so much different technology is bound to be hard to grasp. The article gives people sources that seemingly describe what Flink is, but have little to do with what it is. The relationship between Flink and Stratosphere is actually the following: Flink is based on some research outcomes of Stratosphere (I), and was bootstrapped from a fork of the Stratosphere code base of late 2013. Ever since, these two have been proceeding independently. I would suggest to change the article to clearly reflect that. Otherwise, we will not do Flink a favor, but confuse people.
