-------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> Renaming the time interval window for better understanding

> I have another thought, which is to rename the time interval related windows.
> Currently, we have 3 types of time interval window:
> {{TimeWindow}} -> to have {{[start,end)}} time interval
> {{SessionWindow}} -> to have {{[start,end]}} time interval
> {{UnlimitedWindow}} -> to have {{[start, MAX_VALUE)}} time interval
> I think the name {{SessionWindow}} is definitely not good here, especially we
> want to use it in {{SlidingWindows}} now, although it is only used for
> {{SessionWindows}} before. We should name them with time interval meaning,
> not the streaming window functions meaning. {{}}Because these 3 window types
> are internal use only, it is safe to rename them.
>
> {{TimeWindow}} --> {{InclusiveExclusiveWindow}}
> {{SessionWindow}} / {{SlidingWindow}} --> {{InclusiveInclusiveWindow}}
> {{UnlimitedWindow}} --> {{InclusiveUnboundedWindow}}
> {{}}
