Description

The planned structure for the new Getting Started Guide is

• Flink Overview (~ two pages)
• Project Setup
  • Java
  • Scala
  • Python
• Quickstarts
  • Example Walkthrough - Table API / SQL
  • Example Walkthrough - DataStream API

In this ticket we should add a 1-2 page introduction & overview of Apache Flink including among other things an overview of the API Stack (DataStream API & SQL/Table API), an introduction to stateful stream processing and Flink's role in an overall stream processing architecture.
