Description

With FLINK-9877 there will be a dedicated documentation page explaining joins that can be made in the DataStream API. Something similar could be done for other operations that combine two or more streams together or operate on ConnectedStream to give the user a more clear overview of how these operations work and what the differences between them are.

Examples that moght fit in here are

• Window CoGroup
• Connect / CoMap / CoFlatMap
• Union
