> Key: FLINK-5529
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5529
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Stephan Ewen
> Assignee: Kostas Kloudas
> Fix For: 1.2.0, 1.3.0
>
>
> Suggested Outline:
> {code}
> Windows
> (0) Outline: The anatomy of a window operation
> stream
> [.keyBy(...)] <- keyed versus non-keyed windows
> .window(...) <- required: "assigner"
> [.trigger(...)] <- optional: "trigger" (else default trigger)
> [.evictor(...)] <- optional: "evictor" (else no evictor)
> [.allowedLateness()] <- optional, else zero
> .reduce/fold/apply() <- required: "function"
> (1) Types of windows
> - tumble
> - slide
> - session
> - global
> (2) Pre-defined windows
> timeWindow() (tumble, slide)
> countWindow() (tumble, slide)
> - mention that count windows are inherently
> resource leaky unless limited key space
> (3) Window Functions
> - apply: most basic, iterates over elements in window
>
> - aggregating: reduce and fold, can be used with "apply()" which will get
> one element
>
> - forward reference to state size section
> (4) Advanced Windows
> - assigner
> - simple
> - merging
> - trigger
> - registering timers (processing time, event time)
> - state in triggers
> - life cycle of a window
> - create
> - state
> - cleanup
> - when is window contents purged
> - when is state dropped
> - when is metadata (like merging set) dropped
> (5) Late data
> - picture
> - fire vs fire_and_purge: late accumulates vs late resurrects (cf
> discarding mode)
>
> (6) Evictors
> - TDB
>
> (7) State size: How large will the state be?
> Basic rule: Each element has one copy per window it is assigned to
> --> num windows * num elements in window
> --> example: tumbline is one copy, sliding(n,m) is n/m copies
> --> per key
> Pre-aggregation:
> - if reduce or fold is set -> one element per window (rather than num
> elements in window)
> - evictor voids pre-aggregation from the perspective of state
> Special rules:
> - fold cannot pre-aggregate on session windows (and other merging windows)
> (8) Non-keyed windows
> - all elements through the same windows
> - currently not parallel
> - possible parallel in the future when having pre-aggregation functions
> - inherently (by definition) produce a result stream with parallelism one
> - state similar to one key of keyed windows
> {code}
