Questions with State Processor Api

[Maminspapin <un...@mail.ru>]

Hi, folk

Using State Processor Api can I:

1. get full state of flink-application with rocksdb backend in cluster mode
(as I realised it's checkpoins or savepoints)?
2. update it?
3. get this state from other flink-application (other jar)?
4. query it with sql (Table API & SQL) to get data I need?

Thanks

Hi Yuri,

I think you can achieve this by using "normal" flink operators and
sinks. One thing that immediately comes to my mind are timers [1].
It should be simpler to implement and setup rather than with the State
Processor API (though it seems doable via this API too).

Please, someone help me to understand is State Processor Api a solve or not
for a task.

I want to add to state 'Events' some target actions of user and remove them
if cancel action is received.

Every X period I need to check this state if it's time to make some
communication with user. If yes, so make it and update the state 'Events',
and also update the state 'Users'.

I assume the State Processor Api could help me to manage with stores.
So when X period is happen, I get savepoint which is full state of
application, load 'Events' and 'Users' states. Now I can query 'Events' with
sql and check time for communication with user. And make updates of states
if it needed.

Or this idea is not good and Flink is not suitable for the task?

Thanks,
Yuri L.
