I have one stream (not keyed stream), and 3 maps (each map is result comes from different rest api).
These 3 maps are static, won't change after.
I want to map elements to new type in stream by using these 3 maps, how can I broadcast 3 maps to stream?
As I know join or connect is not sufficient to do this.. please help.
If the maps (as in java map) are static, you can just load them inside a RichMapFunction in open and apply them in map. To increase performance, you should initialize them once in a static variable (sync on the class or a static mutex).
If the maps are small, you can also initialize them in your main and just pass them to a MapFunction as a parameter. As long as everything in the map is Serializable, it will just work.
