I’m currently exploring different options for stream processing and am particularly interested in Apache Flink. I’ve noticed that Flink supports both PyFlink (Python API) and the Java API, and I’m trying to decide which to use for my upcoming projects.

Could anyone who has used these APIs share their experiences? I’m particularly interested in:

Performance: How do PyFlink and Java API compare in terms of speed and resource management?

API Availability: Is there a significant difference in what both APIs provide?

Ecosystem Integration: How well does each API integrate with other data tools and systems? Are there any limitations?

Use Case Suitability: Are there specific use cases where one API clearly outshines the other?

Community and Support: Which API has better community support and resources for troubleshooting?

Any detailed comparisons, pros, cons, or even specific anecdotes from your projects would be greatly appreciated. Your insights will help me make a more informed decision.

Thank you in advance for your help!
