Welcome Manuela! The documentation on the Beam website [1] can help you too, in particular to get some familiarity with the runtime part of Nexmark (and the Java version of the queries). Maybe worth to try to run some queries to see if your work environment is ok, and see how things work and if you see something that can be 'easily' improved.
Since you are more familiar with Python a good exercise is to look at the existing implementation of some of the queries [2] and try to run them first with python's direct runner (currently some things are broken and the expected input format is not the same as in the java version), so feel free to remove/hack it until it works locally :). A simple json per line version of the Nexmark objects generated from java (compatible) is available here [3], so reading it into the existing python objects in nexmark_model.py could be a first step. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or we can discuss further in private if you prefer.
