Dear Co-Beamers,

I am curious about the possibility of using Complex Event Processing (CEP) 
package in Flink from Apache Beam with the Flink Runner.

I have an architectural question.

I know that Apache Beam and its reference model 
(https://beam.apache.org/documentation/runners/capability-matrix/) does not 
have any kind of support for complex event processing (aka pattern matching on 
streams of events and their attributes). There is merely a JIRA ticket 
suggesting a future development in this direction 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3767).

Does anyone know if there is currently some kind of "pass-through" transform in 
Apache Beam that would make it possible to access the existing CEP 
functionality in Flink. Or -for that matter- enable accessing runner-specific 
features in general?

What do you think? Any ideas?

Best regards
