Hi Deepak, Coming back to your original question, you’ve got a number of option (some of them already mentioned:
* You can connect/join 2 streams of different types at a time by means of s1.connect(s2).<some processing function> * (your example does not work directly as written (3 streams)) * You can connect many streams of same type by means of s1.union(s2, s3, …).<some processing function> * The third option is new and not yet documented (marked as @experimental): * Connect/join many streams of different types by means of a [Keyed]MultipleInputTransformation * If keyed: input streams need to either * be keyed on the same key type, or * be non-keyed (most likely) broadcast streams * the API is still a little elaborate, a good starting point could be this test case: [1] If of any interest, feel free to ask for clarifications … Thias PS: see also my next email in a couple of minutes … [1] https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-streaming-java/src/test/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/api/graph/StreamGraphGeneratorBatchExecutionTest.java#L441 From: Shammon FY <zjur...@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2022 6:29 AM To: user@flink.apache.org Cc: Deepak kumar Gunjetti <deepakg...@gmail.com>; Yaroslav Tkachenko <yaros...@goldsky.com> Subject: Re: Is it possible to connect multiple streams ⚠EXTERNAL MESSAGE – CAUTION: Think Before You Click ⚠ Hi Thanks @yaroslav . And @deepakgd79 here is the document for datastream: https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-master/docs/dev/datastream/operators/overview/#datastream-transformations You can find examples for union, connect, join and other transformations On Wed, Sep 21, 2022 at 11:55 AM Yaroslav Tkachenko <yaros...@goldsky.com<mailto:yaros...@goldsky.com>> wrote: Hi Deepak, You can use a union operator. I actually gave a talk on creating an advanced join using the union operator and multiple streams: - https://www.slideshare.net/sap1ens/storing-state-forever-why-it-can-be-good-for-your-analytics - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiGxEGPyqCg I hope this helps.

It is one of the best open source i have used. I want to thank the community for developing such a wonderful product. I have one query. Is it possible to connect multiple streams, like stream1.connect(stream2).connect(stream3).flatmap(new RickCoFlatMapFunctionHandler()) Can someone please let me know how I can achieve this.
