----------------------------------

             Summary: Reintroduce documentation for the runtime/execution engine
                 Key: FLINK-1335
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1335
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation
            Reporter: Jonas Traub
            Priority: Minor


It has been some month now, since I started implementing a runtime-operator for Flink the fist time. Thereby, I discovered that there is no good introduction to the concepts/programming model of the flink runtime. Anyhow, it is necessary to have knowledge about this in order to implement a new operators.

There is a short documentation at [1], but this is not really sufficient.
I googled a bit and found [2] and [3]. Although, this documentation is not complete and possibly outdated at some points, it gave me good introduction.

It would be nice if the content could be updated and re-added to the documentation.
