@dianfu sorry I have not reviewed it yet, but I do think this feature would
benefit from reworking of the Pattern API I propose in
[FLINK-3414](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3414).
Instead of checking for head/tail of group pattern and caching them, we
could more or less use current code for plain sequence creation that could
return begin/end states. Then the code for joining groups would be much easier,
cause it would operate on already translated sequences.
Also the new API would make
[FLINK-4641]](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4641)
much easier I think.
As it would require API rework I would really like to hear @kl0u opinion.
If we agree though not to change the API I will go straight to reviewing this
PR.

> We should add support for pattern group. This would enrich the set of
> supported patterns. For example, users can write patterns like this with this
> feature available:
> {code}
> A --> (B --> C.times(3)).optional() --> D
> {code}
> or
> {code}
> A --> (B --> C).times(3) --> D
> {code}
