/**
* A function that processes elements of a stream.
*
- * <p>The function will be called for every element in the input stream
and can produce
- * zero or more output. The function can also query the time and set
timers. When
- * reacting to the firing of set timers the function can emit yet more
elements.
+ * <p>For every element in the input stream {@link #processElement(Object,
Context, Collector)}
+ * is invoked. This can produce zero or more elements as output.
Implementations can also
+ * query the time and set timers through the provided {@link Context}. For
firing timers
+ * {@link #onTimer(long, OnTimerContext, Collector)} will be invoked. This
can again produce
+ * zero or more elements as output and register further timers.
*
- * <p>The function will be called for every element in the input stream
and can produce
- * zero or more output elements. Contrary to the
- * {@link org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.FlatMapFunction}, this
function can also query
- * the time (both event and processing) and set timers, through the
provided {@link Context}.
- * When reacting to the firing of set timers the function can directly
emit a result, and/or
- * register a timer that will trigger an action in the future.
+ * <p><b>NOTE:</b> Access to keyed state and timers (which are also scoped
to a key) is only
+ * available if the {@code ProcessFunction} is applied on a {@code
KeyedStream}.
