The > implementation is completely separate by now. For example, the Non-Keyed > window operator does not use the StateBackend for state, i.e. cannot use > RocksDB. Also, with upcoming changes (Merging/Session windows, aligned > windows) this will only increase the maintenance burden. > Also, the fast AlignedProcessingTimeWindows operators also only support the > Parallel/Keyed case. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
