------------------------------------
Summary: HTTP/HTTPS WebServer Extension
Key: FLINK-6234
URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6234 Project: Flink
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: DataStream API, Streaming
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Environment: All
Reporter: Abey Sam Alex
Fix For: 2.0.0
All of the existing NIO based Java webserver have their processing locked on to a single machine and Web Frameworks are locked down to single instances. Although by nature Every web request is like an endless stream of events which have multiple pipe within it. In nature the very method of its functioning is very similar to have Flink works.
Most of the Web Server scaling is limited to adding more servers but rarely utilizing all of the phsyical cores or pipelining the intermediate steps. There are other advantages which the flink can bring about by having an extensions for Web Servers.
The intent is to provide an extension with which once can write an Web Application using the Flink Framework and take advantage of the streaming architecture and have easy scalability by adding new nodes at run time.
