So flink TMs reads one line at a time from hdfs in parallel and keep
filling it in memory and keep passing the records to the next operator? I
just want to know how data comes in memory? How it is partition between TMs
Is there a documentation i can refer how the reading is done and how data
is pushed from operators to operators in both stream and batch
