@mushketyk It seems needed to rebase this PR.
> Add support for quantifiers to CEP's pattern API
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-3318
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3318
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CEP
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Assignee: Ivan Mushketyk
> Priority: Minor
>
> It would be a good addition to extend the pattern API to support quantifiers
> known from regular expressions (e.g. Kleene star, ?, +, or count bounds).
> This would considerably enrich the set of supported patterns.
> Implementing the count bounds could be done by unrolling the pattern state.
> In order to support the Kleene star operator, the {{NFACompiler}} has to be
> extended to insert epsilon-transition between a Kleene start state and the
> succeeding pattern state. In order to support {{?}}, one could insert two
> paths from the preceding state, one which accepts the event and another which
> directly goes into the next pattern state.
