Cao Zihong commented on FLINK-1284:
------------------------------------
I want to have a try. Should the sample(..) method under the WindowedDataStream
class? I also get confused about the window(..) function parameter.
> Uniform random sampling operator over windows

> Key: FLINK-1284
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1284
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Streaming
> Reporter: Paris Carbone
> Priority: Minor
>
> It would be useful for several use cases to have a built-in uniform random
> sampling operator in the streaming API that can operate on windows. This can
> be used for example for online machine learning operations, evaluating
> heuristics or continuous visualisation of representative values.
> The operator could be given a field and a number of random samples needed,
> following a window statement as such:
> mystream.window(..).sample(fieldID,#samples)
> Given that pre-aggregation is enabled, this could perhaps be implemented as a
> binary reduce operator or a combinable groupreduce that pre-aggregates the
> empiricals of that field.
