Hi kant, It seems that you mean the Time-windowed Join. The Time-windowed Joins are supported now. You can check more details with the docs given by Xingcan. As for the non-window join, it is used to join two unbounded stream and the semantic is very like batch join.
Time-windowed Join: > SELECT * > FROM Orders o, Shipments s > WHERE o.id = s.orderId AND > o.ordertime BETWEEN s.shiptime - INTERVAL '4' HOUR AND s.shiptime Non-windowed Join: > SELECT * > FROM Orders o, Shipments s > WHERE o.id = s.orderId On Wed, Mar 7, 2018 at 7:02 PM, kant kodali <kanth...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi! > > Thanks for all this. and yes I was indeed talking about SQL/Table API so I > will keep track of these tickets!
