+<h3 id="using-hadoop-file-systems-with-apache-flink">Using Hadoop file systems with Apache Flink</h3>
+
+<p>Apache Flink allows users to use any file system implementing the <code>org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem</code>
+interface. Hadoop ships adapters for FTP, <a href="http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.2.1/hftp.html">Hftp</a>, and others.</p>
+
+<p>Flink has integrated testcases to validate the integration with <a href="http://tachyon-project.org/">Tachyon</a>.
+Other file systems we tested the integration is the
+<a href="https://cloud.google.com/hadoop/google-cloud-storage-connector">Google Cloud Storage Connector for Hadoop</a> and <a href="http://www.xtreemfs.org/">XtreemFS</a>.</p>
+
+<p>In order to use a Hadoop file system with Flink, make sure that the <code>flink-conf.yaml</code> has set the
+<code>fs.hdfs.hadoopconf</code> property set to the Hadoop configuration directory.
+In addition to that, the Hadoop configuration (in that directory) needs to have an entry for each supported file system.
+For example for tachyon support, there must be the following entry in the <code>core-site.xml</code> file:</p>
+
+<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-xml"><span class="nt">&lt;property&gt;</span>
+  <span class="nt">&lt;name&gt;</span>fs.tachyon.impl<span class="nt">&lt;/name&gt;</span>
+  <span class="nt">&lt;value&gt;</span>tachyon.hadoop.TFS<span class="nt">&lt;/value&gt;</span>
+<span class="nt">&lt;/property&gt;</span></code></pre></div>
+
+<p>Also, the required classes for using the file system need to be placed in the <code>lib/</code> folder of the Flink installation (on all machines running Flink). If putting the files into the directory is not possible, Flink is also respecting the <code>HADOOP_CLASSPATH</code> environment variable to add Hadoop jar files to the classpath.</p>
+
+<h2 id="connecting-to-other-systems-using-input--output-format-wrappers-for-hadoop">Connecting to other systems using Input / Output Format wrappers for Hadoop</h2>
+
+<p>Apache Flink allows users to access many different systems as data sources or sinks.
+The system is designed for very easy extensibility. Similar to Apache Hadoop, Flink has the concept
+of so called <code>InputFormat</code>s and <code>OutputFormat</code>s.</p>
+
+<p>One implementation of these <code>InputFormat</code>s is the <code>HadoopInputFormat</code>. This is a wrapper that allows
+users to use all existing Hadoop input formats with Flink.</p>
+
+<p>This section shows some examples for connecting Flink to other systems.
+<a href="hadoop_compatibility.html">Read more about Hadoop compatibility in Flink</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="avro-support-in-flink">Avro support in Flink</h2>
+
+<p>Flink has extensive build-in support for <a href="http://avro.apache.org/">Apache Avro</a>. This allows to easily read from Avro files with Flink.
+Also, the serialization framework of Flink is able to handle classes generated from Avro schemas.</p>
+
+<p>In order to read data from an Avro file, you have to specify an <code>AvroInputFormat</code>.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Example</strong>:</p>
+
+<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-java"><span class="n">AvroInputFormat</span><span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">User</span><span class="o">&gt;</span> <span class="n">users</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="n">AvroInputFormat</span><span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">User</span><span class="o">&gt;(</span><span class="n">in</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="n">User</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">class</span><span class="o">);</span>
+<span class="n">DataSet</span><span class="o">&lt;</span><span class="n">User</span><span class="o">&gt;</span> <span class="n">usersDS</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">env</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">createInput</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="n">users</span><span class="o">);</span></code></pre></div>
+
+<p>Note that <code>User</code> is a POJO generated by Avro. Flink also allows to perform string-based key selection of these POJOs. For example:</p>
+
+<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-java"><span class="n">usersDS</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="na">groupBy</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="s">&quot;name&quot;</span><span class="o">)</span></code></pre></div>
+
+<p>Note that using the <code>GenericData.Record</code> type is possible with Flink, but not recommended. Since the record contains the full schema, its very data intensive and thus probably slow to use.</p>
+
+<p>Flink’s POJO field selection also works with POJOs generated from Avro. However, the usage is only possible if the field types are written correctly to the generated class. If a field is of type <code>Object</code> you can not use the field as a join or grouping key.
+Specifying a field in Avro like this <code>{"name": "type_double_test", "type": "double"},</code> works fine, however specifying it as a UNION-type with only one field (<code>{"name": "type_double_test", "type": ["double"]},</code>) will generate a field of type <code>Object</code>. Note that specifying nullable types (<code>{"name": "type_double_test", "type": ["null", "double"]},</code>) is possible!</p>
+
+<h3 id="access-microsoft-azure-table-storage">Access Microsoft Azure Table Storage</h3>
+
+<p><em>Note: This example works starting from Flink 0.6-incubating</em></p>
+
+<p>This example is using the <code>HadoopInputFormat</code> wrapper to use an existing Hadoop input format implementation for accessing <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-introduction/">Azure’s Table Storage</a>.</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>
+    <p>Download and compile the <code>azure-tables-hadoop</code> project. The input format developed by the project is not yet available in Maven Central, therefore, we have to build the project ourselves.
+Execute the following commands:</p>
+
+    <div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-bash">git clone https://github.com/mooso/azure-tables-hadoop.git
+<span class="nb">cd </span>azure-tables-hadoop
+mvn clean install</code></pre></div>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Setup a new Flink project using the quickstarts:</p>
+
+    <div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-bash">curl http://flink.apache.org/q/quickstart.sh <span class="p">|</span> bash</code></pre></div>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Add the following dependencies (in the <code>&lt;dependencies&gt;</code> section) to your <code>pom.xml</code> file:</p>
+
+    <div class="highlight"><pre><code class="language-xml"><span class="nt">&lt;dependency&gt;</span>
+    <span class="nt">&lt;groupId&gt;</span>org.apache.flink<span class="nt">&lt;/groupId&gt;</span>
+    <span class="nt">&lt;artifactId&gt;</span>flink-hadoop-compatibility<span class="nt">&lt;/artifactId&gt;</span>
+    <span class="nt">&lt;version&gt;</span>0.10-SNAPSHOT<span class="nt">&lt;/version&gt;</span>
+<span class="nt">&lt;/dependency&gt;</span>
+<span class="nt">&lt;dependency&gt;</span>
+  <span class="nt">&lt;groupId&gt;</span>com.microsoft.hadoop<span class="nt">&lt;/groupId&gt;</span>
+  <span class="nt">&lt;artifactId&gt;</span>microsoft-hadoop-azure<span class="nt">&lt;/artifactId&gt;</span>
+  <span class="nt">&lt;version&gt;</span>0.0.4<span class="nt">&lt;/version&gt;</span>
+<span class="nt">&lt;/dependency&gt;</span></code></pre></div>
+
+    <p><code>flink-hadoop-compatibility</code> is a Flink package that provides the Hadoop input format wrappers.
+<code>microsoft-hadoop-azure</code> is adding the project we’ve build before to our project.</p>
+  </li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>The project is now prepared for starting to code. We recommend to import the project into an IDE, such as Eclipse or IntelliJ. (Import as a Maven project!).
+Browse to the code of the <code>Job.java</code> file. Its an empty skeleton for a Flink job.</p>
+
+<p>Paste the following code into it:</p>
