The JMS code is here:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-apex-malhar/blob/master/library/src/main/java/com/datatorrent/lib/io/jms/AbstractJMSInputOperator.java
It also shows how data is managed by window for replay (you already asked
about the window data manager). It's a write-ahead-log that on replay let's us
retain the relationship between individual events and windows. That's to
achieve idempotency. Downstream processing that is window based (vs. event by
event) will require this.
