Hi Thomas,

I agree that the case of processing bounded data is a special case of
unbounded data.
Th difference I was pointing out was in terms of expiry. This is not
applicable in case of bounded data sets, while unbounded data sets will
inherently use expiry for limiting the amount of data to be stored.

For idempotency when applying expiry on the streaming data, I need to
explore more on the using the window timestamp that you proposed as opposed
to the system time which I was planning to use.

Thanks.
