Thanks Stavros (and everybody else involved) for starting this effort and
bringing the discussion back to the mailing list.

As I said before, a model serving module/component would be a great feature
for Flink.
I see the biggest advantage for such a module in the integration with the
other APIs and libraries, such as DataStream, CEP, SQL.

A FLIP would be a great way to continue your efforts and work on a design
for the component.

However, we should keep in mind that we need a committer to bootstrap the
new module.
As people are contributing to the model serving module, the number of
committers should hopefully grow after some time.

Best, Fabian
