03/31/2023, 6:14 PMIs there any decent pattern on how to seed a job state if migrating from another technology (I want to move a stateful service that has limited state data but gets a lot of load to Flink and would like to initialize some relevant values). Could generating a with the State Processor API and then resuming the new flink job from that savepoint be a solid approach?

03/31/2023, 6:29 PMThe out-of-date-ness of that example comes from it using the DataSet API. The State Processor API was recently ported over to the DataStream API.
