Hello Firstly, I am an absolute Flink newbie.
I am interested in using Drools in Flink - in a similar case to what is described in this blog, where Drools is used in Spark. http://blog.cloudera.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-build-a-complex-event-processing-app-on-apache-spark-and-drools/ The basic idea is that Drools can be used to reason over streaming data. The high-level use case is, there are several hundred users who want to write rules to be notified on events related to changes in specific streams. For example, notify me when a specific stock price changes by so much. Due to the number of users, the more end-user focused syntax of Drools, and the number of rule changes, doing this in Drools makes more sense than to write and deploy plain-old-flink (apologies, am not familiar with the correct term for a flink process). Also, as Drools has some powerful CEP operators, it could be very interested to have these available in Flink too. My question, therefore, is, very general - how best to integrate Drools into Flink? Where should I start? Thanks and regards Anton
