The performance loss being referred to there is reduced throughput.
There's a blog post by Nico Kruber [1] that covers Flink's network stack in
considerable detail. The last section on latency vs throughput gives some
more insight on this point. In the experiment reported on there, the
difference
Hi all,
I have read the below in the documentation :
"To maximize throughput, set setBufferTimeout(-1) which will remove the
timeout and buffers will only be flushed when they are full. To minimize
latency, set the timeout to a value close to 0 (for example 5 or 10 ms). A
buffer timeout of 0 sh
