    Hi,
    
    The examples given (by greghogan) are specialized C++ programs. I don't say that this example shows Flink's capabilities relative to other solutions but that it's a very helpful for the novice to understand how to setup a new Flink program and use the DeltaIteration API call and is also in the spirit of some other Flink examples like 'Pi Estimation'.
    In fact it helped me a lot to learn about developing with Flink because the documentation was/is quite lacking in many areas.
    
    Most novices do benefit from examples first and from good documentation later when they grasp the subject.
    
    I'm closing this anyway as I'm not in the Flink community of users and don't have time and further interest to start a discussion for such a simple example.
