I'm keeping this open because I'm using this PR to for recovery testing in
Travis since those tests only fail within Travis. The PR that is supposed to be
merged is here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-apex-core/pull/211
> Iterative processing support
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: APEXCORE-60
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-60
> Project: Apache Apex Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: David Yan
> Assignee: David Yan
> Labels: roadmap
> Fix For: 3.3.0
>
>
> We would like to support iterative processing by introducing cycles in the
> graph (known as DAG now, but no longer if we support iterative processing).
> Initial idea is as follow:
> {noformat}
> |----|
> v |
> A -> B -> C -> D
> ^ |
> |---------|
> {noformat}
> C has two separate backward streams to A and B. The input ports of A and B
> that C connects to will have a special attribute on how many window IDs ahead
> the incoming windows should be treated as, and A and B will be responsible
> for the initial data for such input ports.
> Another idea is to have C advance the window ID on its output ports and have
> C generate the initial data on its output ports to A and B.
