@Chris
Yes, I was referring to that mail. Actually I was wrong about the ‘Now’
window, it should be a ‘Unbounded’ window for most the default scenarios
(Section 6.4 of https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~david/cs848/stream-cql.pdf). Because
applying a ‘Now’ window with size of 1 will double the number of events
generated if we consider insert/delete streams. But ‘Unbounded’ will only
generate insert events.

@Yi
1. You are correct about Calcite.There is no stream-to-relation conversion
happening. But as I understand we don’t need Calcite to support this. We
can add it to our query planner as a rule or re-write. What I am not sure
is whether to use a rule or a re-write.
2. There is a rule in Calcite which extract the Window out from the
Project. But I am not sure why that didn’t happen in my test. This rule is
added to the planner by default. I’ll ask about this in Calcite mailing
list.

I think we can figure out a way to move the window to the input stream if
Calcite can move the window out from Project. I’ll see how we can do this.

Also I’ll go ahead and implement default windows. We can change it later if
Julian or someone from Calcite comes up with a better suggestion.

Thanks
Milinda
