Hi Shekar, You can use Samza's local storage ( http://samza.apache.org/learn/documentation/0.9/container/state-management.html) to keep the window state and windowing ( http://samza.apache.org/learn/documentation/0.9/container/windowing.html) capabilities to handle the window advancement. During advancement you can update the local cache (Redis in your case). AFAIK, Samza doesn't provide any helpers or utilities to handle window state maintenance. You have to implement it on top of local storage or if you don't won't fault tolerance you can keep the state in-memory too (as long as the state fit in memory).
