> Flink offers state abstractions for user functions in order to guarantee
> fault-tolerant processing of streams. Users can work with both
> non-partitioned (Checkpointed interface) and partitioned state
> (getRuntimeContext().getState(ValueStateDescriptor) and other variants).
> The partitioned state interface provides access to different types of state
> that are all scoped to the key of the current input element. This type of
> state can only be used on a KeyedStream, which is created via stream.keyBy().
> Currently, all of this state is internal to Flink and used in order to
> provide processing guarantees in failure cases (e.g. exactly-once processing).
> The goal of Queryable State is to expose this state outside of Flink by
> supporting queries against the partitioned key value state.
> This will help to eliminate the need for distributed operations/transactions
> with external systems such as key-value stores which are often the bottleneck
> in practice. Exposing the local state to the outside moves a good part of the
> database work into the stream processor, allowing both high throughput
> queries and immediate access to the computed state.
> This is the initial design doc for the feature:
> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NkQuhIKYmcprIU5Vjp04db1HgmYSsZtCMxgDi_iTN-g.
> Feel free to comment.
