I'll see if I can introduce it to the code.

Thanks for noticing that. It's indeed true that we do this. The reason is
the nature of the computation, which cannot be done incrementally
unfortunately. It's not a classic avg(), max(), last() etc. computation
which can be reduced in each step.
I'm thinking of a way to cap the volume of the state per key using an
aggregate function that limits the number of elements and returns a list of
the collected events.

class CappingAggregator(limit: Int) extends AggregateFunction[Event,
Vector[Event], Vector[Event]] {
  override def createAccumulator(): Vector[Event] = Vector.empty

  override def add(value: Event, acc: Vector[Event]): Vector[Event] =
    if (acc.size < limit) acc :+ value
    else acc

  override def getResult(acc: Vector[Event]): Vector[Event] = Vector(acc:
_*)

  override def merge(a: Vector[Event], b: Vector[Event]): Vector[Event] =
(a ++ b).slice(0, limit)
}

My only problem is with merge(). I'm not sure if b is always later elements
than a's or if I must sort and only then slice.
