It has the most interesting/conceptual/detailed discussion of the streaming system semantics (e.g. interplay of windows and stateful stream operations) I'm aware of to this day. At least as far as Manning/O'Reilly-level books go. So I'd put it on the same bookshelf as DDIA.
It's a little biased towards Beam and away from Spark/Flink though. Which makes it less practical and more conceptual. So as long as it's your cup of tea go for it.
