I’d personally have a hard time calling real-time something that doesn’t react to changes, ie if you need to re-run the query in trino on a schedule to get updates then it’s necessarily near real time (as near as your schedule interval allows). But other people may use it to mean something else

The article talks about the reverse direction however. i.e. Data from Kafka being ingested via Flink for Trino to query as Iceberg tables - everything with a single consistent schema.

To be pedantic though Flink also operates on a flush interval so not "real time" by that definition.

Ah this makes sense. This is similar to what Elasticsearch shards do.
