the test should extend `StreamingWithStateTestBase` instead of
`StreamingMultipleProgramsTestBase` to have easy access to a RocksDBStateBackend
> DataStream unbounded groupby aggregate with early firing
> --------------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-6216
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6216
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: Shaoxuan Wang

>
> Groupby aggregate results in a replace table. For infinite groupby aggregate,
> we need a mechanism to define when the data should be emitted (early-fired).
> This task is aimed to implement the initial version of unbounded groupby
> aggregate, where we update and emit aggregate value per each arrived record.
> In the future, we will implement the mechanism and interface to let user
> define the frequency/period of early-firing the unbounded groupby aggregation
> results.
> The limit space of backend state is one of major obstacles for supporting
> unbounded groupby aggregate in practical. Due to this reason, we suggest two
> common (and very useful) use-cases of this unbounded groupby aggregate:
> 1. The range of grouping key is limit. In this case, a new arrival record
> will either insert to state as new record or replace the existing record in
> the backend state. The data in the backend state will not be evicted if the
> resource is properly provisioned by the user, such that we can provision the
> correctness on aggregation results.
> 2. When the grouping key is unlimited, we will not be able ensure the 100%
> correctness of "unbounded groupby aggregate". In this case, we will reply on
> the TTL mechanism of the RocksDB backend state to evicted old data such that
> we can provision the correct results in a certain time range.
