Hi! You cannot specify that on the higher API levels. The lower API levels have something called "CoLocationConstraint". At this point it is not exposed, because we thought that would lead to not very scalable and robust designs in many cases . The best thing usually is location transparency and local affinity (as a performance optimization). Is the file large, i.e., would it hurt to do it on a DFS? Or actually use a Kafka Queue between the operators?
