Made the changes in the Java version and added the comments. Had some
issues with the Scala version. See screenshots, the only change is really to
change to the type of `Iterable` in the `WindowFunction`, which IntelliJ was
saying has to have type `SensorReadng`, which is not ideal. I removed the
Scala version for now.
