Overhead Accesses and updates involve serialization and deserialization. Java heap-based state backend Keeps its working state in memory, on the Java heap. Risk Large amount state will cause OOM. Conclusion Both of these state backends are able to do asynchronous snapshotting, meaning that they can take a snapshot without impeding the ongoing stream processing. ...
