SQL is undoubtedly the most widely used language for data analytics for many good reasons. It is declarative, many database systems and query processors feature advanced query optimizers and highly efficient execution engines, and last but not least it is the standard that everybody knows and uses. With stream processing technology becoming mainstream a question arises: “Why isn’t SQL widely supported by open source stream processors?”. One answer is that SQL’s semantics and syntax have not been designed with the characteristics of streaming data in mind. Consequently, systems that want to provide support for SQL on data streams have to overcome a conceptual gap. One approach is to support standard SQL which is known by users and tools but comes at the cost of cumbersome workarounds for many common streaming computations. Other approaches are to design custom SQL-inspired stream analytics languages or to extend SQL with streaming-specific keywords. While such solutions tend to result in more intuitive syntax, they suffer from not being established standards and thereby exclude many users and tools. Apache Flink is a distributed stream processing system with very good support for streaming analytics. Flink features two relational APIs, the Table API and SQL. The Table API is a language-integrated relational API with stream-specific features. Flink’s SQL interface implements the plain SQL standard. Both APIs are semantically compatible and share the same optimization and execution path based on Apache Calcite. In this talk we present the future of Apache Flink’s relational APIs for stream analytics, discuss their conceptual model, and showcase their usage. The central concept of these APIs are dynamic tables. We explain how streams are converted into dynamic tables and vice versa without losing information due to the stream-table duality. Relational queries on dynamic tables behave similar to materialized view definitions and produce new dynamic tables. We show how dynamic tables are converted back into changelog streams or are written as materialized views to external systems, such as Apache Kafka or Apache Cassandra, and are updated in place with low latency. We conclude our talk demonstrating the power and expressiveness of Flink’s relational APIs by presenting how common stream analytics use cases can be realized.
