Hi,
So you are trying to use the same window definition, but you want to aggregate
the data in two different ways:
1. keyBy(userId)
2. Global aggregation
Do you want to use exactly the same aggregation functions? If not, you can just
process the events twice:
DataStream<…> events = …;
DataStream<….> keyedEvents = events
.keyBy(…)
.window(…)
.process(f) // instead of process this can be whatever you want,
aggregate/apply/reduce/...
DataStream<….> nonKeyedEvents = events
.windowAll(…)
.process(g)
From here you can process keyedEvents and nonKeyedEvents as you prefer.
If yes, if both global and non global aggregation are using similar/the same
aggregation function, you could try to use `keyedEvents` as pre-aggregated
input for `.windowAll(…)`.
DataStream<….> keyedEvents = events.keyBy(…).window(…).process(f)
keyedEvents.print() // or further process keyedEvents
DataStream<….> nonKeyedEvents = keyedEvents.windowAll(…).process(f')
But this assumes that the output of your `process(f)` can be re-processed. This
second approach can minimise amount of work to be done by the global
aggregation. In the first approach, all of the records will have to be
processed by a single operator (global aggregation), which can be a performance
bottleneck.
