Hi sonex I think you can accomplish it by using a PassThroughFunction as the apply function and processing the elements in a rich flatMap function followed. You can keep the information in the flatmap function (via states) so that they can be shared among different windows. The program may look like stream.keyBy(...).timeWindow(...) .apply(new WindowFunction() { public void apply(K key, W window, Iterable<IN> elements, Collector<OUT> out) { out.collect(new Tuple3<>(key, window, elements); }) .keyBy(0) // use the same key as the windows .flatMap(...) // process the windows with shared information Regards,Xiaogang

How can I do that? -- View this message in context: http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Transfer-information-from-one-window-to-the-next-tp11737.html Sent from the Apache Flink User Mailing List archive. mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
