Thanks Fabian for the standard Row Pattern Recognition in SQL!

I just created a FLIP for this feature.

FILP-20:

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Fabian Hueske]

Hi everybody,

I just stumbled over this blog post [1] which discusses new features in SQL
2016.
Apparently the match_recognize clause is part of that. The blogpost also
contains a slide set that presents the pattern matching feature and a link
to a 90 page technical report.

I thought this might be helpful as a references.

Cheers, Fabian

@Jark: You should now have the permissions to create pages in the Flink

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Till Rohrmann]

I think that the integration of SQL and CEP would make a good FLIP.

Hi Fabian,

Thanks a lot. Agree that we can start working by adding the missing
features of the CEP library.

Best regards,
Dian

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Fabian Hueske]

Hi,

@Dian Fu: I gave you contributor permissions. :-)

I don't think we have to wait for Calcite 1.13 to start working on the
missing features of the CEP library and extending the prototype.
We might want to wait with the integration into flink-table until Calcite
1.13 is out and we updated the dependency though.

Best, Fabian

Hi Jark, Dian,

Thanks for bring up this discuss and share the prototype.

+1 to push this great feature forward!

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Jark Wu]

Thank you Yueting for pointing out the mistake in the prototype. I
accidentally introduced it when merge code.

I'm so glad to see so many people are interested in the feature. Let's work
out together to push it forward!

Cheers,
Jark Wu

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Dawid Wysakowicz]

Hi all,

Integrating SQL with CEP seems like a really nice idea. Unfortunately I had
time just for a brief look at the design doc, but it looks really cool and
thorough. Also will have a second run tomorrow and will try to provide more
comments. Anyway will be glad to help pushing the initiative forward.

Z pozdrowieniami! / Cheers!

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[yueting chen]

Hi Dian & Jark,

I checked out your prototype code, but it didn't pass the CEPITCase test in
the flink-table component.
It turns out that in the `MatchCodeGenerator.scala` file, line 74 should
use `${classOf[IterativeCondition.Context[_]].getCanonicalName}` instead of
`${classOf[IterativeCondition.Context[_]]}`.

I've also read your desgin document and it looks fine to me. Actually, I am
working on the same thing recently, I think maybe we can work together to
push this forward.

Thanks,
Yueting Chen

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Dian Fu]

Hi Fabian,

We have evaluated the missing features of Flink CEP roughly, it should not
be quite difficult to support them. Kostas, Dawid, what's your thought?

For supporting MATCH_RECOGNIZE, do you think we could create the JIRAs and
start to work right now or we should wait until the release of calcite 1.13?

Btw, could you help to add me(dian.fu) to the contributor list, then I can
assign the JIRAs to myself? Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Dian

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Fabian Hueske]

Hi Jark,

Thanks for updating the design doc and sharing your prototype!
I didn't look at the code in detail, but the fact that it is less than 1k
LOC is very promising. It seems that most of the complex CEP logic can be
reused :-)
Adding a dependency on flink-cep should be fine, IMO. It is a very slim
library with almost none external dependencies.

Regarding the missing features of Flink CEP that you listed in the design
doc, it would be good to get some in put from Kostas and Dawid which are
the main contributors to CEP.
Do you have already plans regarding some of the missing features or can you
assess how hard it would be to integrate them?

Cheers, Fabian

Btw. The Calcite community started a discussion about releasing Calcite
1.13. So, the missing features might soon be available.

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Jark Wu]

Hi guys,

Good news! We have made a prototype for integrating CEP and SQL. See this
link
https://github.com/apache/flink/compare/master...wuchong:cep-on-sql?expand=1


You can check CepITCase to try the simple CQL example.

Meanwhile, we updated our design doc with additional implementation detail,
including how
to translate MATCH_RECOGNIZE into CEP API, and the features needed to add
to Flink CEP,
and the implementation plan. See the document
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HaaO5eYI1VZjyhtVPZOi3jVzikU7iK15H0YbniTnN30/edit#heading=h.4oas4koy8qu3

In the prototype, we make flink-table dependency on flink-cep. Do you think
that is fine?

What do you think about the prototype and the design doc ?

Any feedbacks are welcome!

Cheers,
Jark Wu

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Till Rohrmann]

Thanks for sharing your ideas with the community. I really like the design
document and think that it's a good approach to follow Oracle's SQL
extension for pattern matching. Looking forward to having support for SQL
with CEP capabilities :-)

 Hi devs,

 Dian and me and our teammates have investigated this for a long time.
 We think consolidating Flink SQL and CEP is an exciting thing for Flink.
 It'll make SQL more powerful and give users the ability to easily and
 quickly build CEP applications.  And I find Flink community has also talked
 about this idea before, such as the mailing list [1] and [2] and Fabian &
 Till's talk in Flink Forward 2016 [3].

 I think THIS IS THE POINT to bring up this topic again. Because we
 already have pattern matching foundation in Flink CEP library, and Stream
 SQL is ready now and Calcite has partially supported pattern matching
 syntax!  We also drafted a design doc about how to integrate SQL and CEP,
 and how to support CEP on Table API. https://docs.google.com/docume
 nt/d/1HaaO5eYI1VZjyhtVPZOi3jVzikU7iK15H0YbniTnN30/edit?usp=sharing


 @Fabian, @Timo, @Till, @Kostas I include you into this discussion, it
 would be great to hear your response.

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Jark Wu]

Hi  @Kostas, @Fabian, thank you for your support.

@Fabian, I totally agree with you that we should focus on SQL first. Let's
keep Table API in mind and discuss that later.

Regarding to the orderBy() clause, I'm not sure about that. I think it
makes sense to make it required in streaming mode(either order by rowtime
or order by proctime). But CEP also works in batch mode, and not necessary
to order by some column. Nevertheless, we can support CEP on batch SQL
later.

We are estimating how to implement MATCH_RECOGNIZE with CEP library (with
NFA, CEP operator). And we will output a detailed doc and a prototype in
the next days.

Jark Wu

 Hi everyone,

 Flink's CEP library is a great library for complex event processing,
 more
 and more customers are expressing their interests in it. But it also has
 some limitations that users usually have to write a lot of code even
 for a
 very simple pattern match use case as it currently only supports the
 Java
 API.
 We have investigated some popular CEP products such as esper [1] and
 siddhi
 [2] and found that most of these CEP products support SQL-like
 expressions
 such as EPL to describe the match pattern. But these solutions also have
 the drawbacks that the pattern match languages are not standard SQL, the
 learn curve is steep for users and it's impossible to integrate them

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Fabian Hueske]

Thanks Dian and Jark for this proposal!

As you wrote, Till and I (and Kostas) have been thinking about this for
some time but haven't had time to work on this feature.
I think it would be a great addition and value add for Flink's SQL support
and Table API.

I read the proposal and think it is very good. We might need to add a bit
more details, esp. when planning the concrete steps of the implementation.

A few comments to the proposal:
- IMO, the development should start focusing on SQL and its semantics.
Pattern support for the Table API should be added later. We followed that
approach for the OVER windows and I think it worked quiet well.
- We probably want to reuse as much as possible from the CEP library. That
means we need to check if the semantics of the CEP library and Oracle's
PATTERN syntax are aligned (or how we can express the PATTERN semantics
with the CEP library). This should be one of the first steps, IMO.
- I would make the orderBy() clause required. In regular SQL rows have no
order, so we need to make that explicit (this would also be consistent with
the OVER windows).

Let me know what you think.

Best, Fabian

[Kostas Kloudas]

Thanks a lot for opening the discussion! 

This is a really interesting idea that has been in our heads 
since the first implementation of the CEP library.

A big +1 for moving forward with this.

And as for the design document, I will definitely have a look
and comment there.

Re: [DISCUSS]: Integrating Flink Table API & SQL with CEP

[Jark Wu]

Hi devs,

Dian and me and our teammates have investigated this for a long time. We
think consolidating Flink SQL and CEP is an exciting thing for Flink. It'll
make SQL more powerful and give users the ability to easily and quickly
build CEP applications.  And I find Flink community has also talked about
this idea before, such as the mailing list [1] and [2] and Fabian & Till's
talk in Flink Forward 2016 [3].

I think THIS IS THE POINT to bring up this topic again. Because we already
have pattern matching foundation in Flink CEP library, and Stream SQL is
ready now and Calcite has partially supported pattern matching syntax!  We
also drafted a design doc about how to integrate SQL and CEP, and how to
support CEP on Table API.

@Fabian, @Timo, @Till, @Kostas I include you into this discussion, it would
be great to hear your response.
