Hi, I answered your question on Stack Overflow.
To summarize, the program reads data from a text socket. You need to open the socket before starting the program. You can open the socket on any (available) port. If you run nc -lk 9999 from a command line, you should used localhost and port 9999. Best, Fabian 2016-01-12 21:40 GMT+01:00 Prez Cannady <revp...@enerscore.com>: > Feeling my way around Flink.
