             Summary: Support setting CoLocation constraints on the DataStream Transformations
                 Key: FLINK-9809
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9809
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Streaming
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
            Assignee: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 1.6.0


Flink supports co location constraints for operator placement during scheduling. This is used internally for iterations, for example, but is not exposed to users.

I propose to add a way for expert users to set these constraints. As a first step, I would add them to the {{StreamTransformation}}, which is not part of the public user-facing classes, but a more internal class in the DataStream API. That way we make this initially a hidden feature and can gradually expose it more prominently when we agree that this would be a good idea.
