Till Rohrmann updated FLINK-9576:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.6.0
> Wrong contiguity documentation
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-9576
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-9576
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CEP, Documentation
> Reporter: Dawid Wysakowicz
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
>
> Example for the contiguity is first of all wrong, and second of all
> misleading:
>
> {code:java}
> To illustrate the above with an example, a pattern sequence "a+ b" (one or
> more "a"’s followed by a "b") with input "a1", "c", "a2", "b" will have the
> following results:
> Strict Contiguity: {a2 b} – the "c" after "a1" causes "a1" to be discarded.
> Relaxed Contiguity: {a1 b} and {a1 a2 b} – "c" is ignored.
> Non-Deterministic Relaxed Contiguity: {a1 b}, {a2 b}, and {a1 a2 b}.
> For looping patterns (e.g. oneOrMore() and times()) the default is relaxed
> contiguity. If you want strict contiguity, you have to explicitly specify it
> by using the consecutive() call, and if you want non-deterministic relaxed
> contiguity you can use the allowCombinations() call.
> {code}
>
> Results for the relaxed contiguity are wrong plus they do not clearly
> explains the internal contiguity of kleene closure.
