ASF GitHub Bot commented on FLINK-3109: --------------------------------------- Github user StephanEwen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1527#issuecomment-177599020 Concerning the data management: @aljoscha and me are currently heavily reworking that. All window operations need to go onto the "state" interfaces. Before we merge this one, we should also do that, so please do not spend much time on optimizing how the buffers for the two inputs are implemented. The interfaces for that will go into the code in a few days (they are in this pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/1562) For now, I would focus on the API and we look into the buffers in a few days. BTW: how exactly the buffered data is held (managed memory, external databases, etc) depends on the "state backend" of the job. Memory behavior can be changed that way and the operators need not worry about that. > Join two streams with two different buffer time > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-3109 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3109 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Streaming > Affects Versions: 0.10.1 > Reporter: Wang Yangjun > Labels: easyfix, patch > Fix For: 0.10.2 > > Original Estimate: 48h > Remaining Estimate: 48h > > Current Flink streaming only supports join two streams on the same window. > How to solve this problem? > For example, there are two streams. One is advertisements showed to users. > The tuple in which could be described as (id, showed timestamp). The other > one is click stream -- (id, clicked timestamp). We want get a joined stream, > which includes all the advertisement that is clicked by user in 20 minutes > after showed. > It is possible that after an advertisement is shown, some user click it > immediately. It is possible that "click" message arrives server earlier than > "show" message because of Internet delay. We assume that the maximum delay is > one minute. > Then the need is that we should alway keep a buffer(20 mins) of "show" stream > and another buffer(1 min) of "click" stream. > It would be grate that there is such an API like. > showStream.join(clickStream) > .where(keySelector) > .buffer(Time.of(20, TimeUnit.MINUTES)) > .equalTo(keySelector) > .buffer(Time.of(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES)) > .apply(JoinFunction) > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33849462/how-to-avoid-repeated-tuples-in-flink-slide-window-join/34024149#34024149 -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
