Flink connector

Flink Connector implements the standard Flink interfaces that allow you to create source Tables for reading, and sink Tables for writing to stream layers.

As a result, you can use both relational APIs that Flink supports: Table API and SQL. In addition, you can convert a Table to a DataStream and use the Flink DataStream API.

For information on how to build your app and which dependencies to use, see Dependencies for Stream Pipelines.
