I can't say for the second, but Deep NLP is an extremely specific niche and it's out of scope for Flink to support such a functionality. Deep Learning is not supported at all anyway. FlinkML, the machine learning library of Flink, as many other ML libraries on distributed environments are focused on workhorse algorithms to offer out of the box support for the most common algorithms used in an enterprise environment. It is debatable if DL is among them, but anyway there's no GPU support in Flink and before that, it would be really complex to do DL on Flink. It would be a sub-optimal solution compared to dedicated frameworks because Flink is not designed for that.
