Hi Robert, Can you share an example where flatmap is used to access elements? Thanks and Regards,Piyush Shrivastava http://webograffiti.com

I am able to access the elements of a WindowedStream using the apply function and using the Iterable and Collector interfaces: val ds = ws.apply((K, W, input: Iterable[T], output: Collector[R]) => { val it = input.toIterator while(it.hasNext){ ... }}) the output of this function is a DataStream. I want to perform a keyBy on this DataStream and then again iterate through it's individual elements. We cannot use the apply function on DataStreams like in WindowedStreams. Is there any other way?
