Luke Chen created KAFKA-13145: --------------------------------- Summary: Renaming the time interval window for better understanding Key: KAFKA-13145 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-13145 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: streams Reporter: Luke Chen Assignee: Luke Chen
I have another thought, which is to rename the time interval related windows. Currently, we have 3 types of time interval window: {{TimeWindow}} -> to have {{[start,end)}} time interval {{SessionWindow}} -> to have {{[start,end]}} time interval {{UnlimitedWindow}} -> to have {{[start, MAX_VALUE)}} time interval I think the name {{SessionWindow}} is definitely not good here, especially we want to use it in {{SlidingWindows}} now, although it is only used for {{SessionWindows}} before. We should name them with time interval meaning, not the streaming window functions meaning. {{}}Because these 3 window types are internal use only, it is safe to rename them. {{TimeWindow}} --> {{InclusiveExclusiveWindow}} {{SessionWindow}} / {{SlidingWindow}} --> {{InclusiveInclusiveWindow}} {{UnlimitedWindow}} --> {{InclusiveUnboundedWindow}} {{}} See the discussion here{{: [https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/11124#issuecomment-887989639]}} {{}} -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
