Hi Timo, Thank you for the suggestions. I see now both Process function and CEP approach will not fit in. Now if I follow the third approach to stream the values from database() . Is it possible to stream data continuously? If I follow the bellow approach, both I see one time load only not continuously streamUsing JDBCInputFormat this will execute the query only once , so it will not be a stream data. when we try to iterate source this may iterate only on the data already fetchedUsing RichFlatMapFunctions, in open() if I try to connect to DB again this would be one time load. If I connect database in flatmap() then it would lead to multiple hits to database. Request your help on how to continuously stream the data, If possible sample source code for reference to stream database. Please help me badly stuck. In the mail, I see you asked me to register. Are you referring to any training here or any other registration.

We need to enrich the stream with some data from a database. There are different strategies to handle this: 1) You are querying the database for every record. This is usually not what you want because it would slow down your pipeline due to the communication latenties to your database. It would also cause a lot of pressure to the database in general. 2) You only query database from time to time and store the latest value in a ProcessFunction ValueState or MapState. 3) You stream in the values as well and use connect() [1]. In any case, I think CEP might not be useful for this case. If you really want to do option 1, it might make sense to also checkout the SQL API of Flink because it offers different kind of joins with very good abstraction. `Join with a Temporal Table` offers a JDBC connector for lookups in your database. If you like to use DataStream API, I would also recommend the Pattern slides here [3] (unfortunately you have to register first).
