I'm wondering which kind of transformations you want to apply to the window you cannot apply with the DataStream API?
Would it be sufficient for you to have the windows as files in HDFS and then run batch jobs against the windows on disk? If so, you could use our filesystem sink, which creates files bucketed by certain time-windows.
