I'm personally interested in reactive programming and I was keen on developing RxJava semantics for Ignite, e.g. to consider DataStreamers as Observables and to apply operators e.g. join, debounce, etc. In that exploration, Flink came up as a synergistic project to integrate with and hence this thread. Not as exciting as saying: "dude, we had 1000's of requests for this from users" :) But once its there, I'm pretty sure people will use it.
