Klink: Progress-Aware Scheduling for Streaming Data Systems
Summary: Leveraging watermarks to infer stream progress and window deadlines, Klink schedules pipelines to unblock windows, speed propagation. Runs on Apache Flink; shows gains over schedulers for scale-up/scale-out workloads with memory-aware execution.
