Hey,

Naturally this would imply that you're script is available on all nodes, so you will have to distribute it manually.

Hello,

I would suggest implementing the RichWindowFunction instead, and instantiate Jep within open(), or maybe do some lazy instantiation within apply.

Hi all,

What is the proper way to call a Python function in WindowFunction.apply()?

I want to apply a Python function to values in a fixed-side sliding window.
I'm trying it because
- I'm currently working on time-series prediction using deep learning, which is why I need a sliding window to get the latest N items from the unbound data stream. - I already have a DNN written using Keras on top of Theano (Keras and Theano are Python libraries) in order to exploit Nvidia's CUDA library . - There is no Python DataStream API, so I tried to use Scala DataStream API. - PySpark's structured streaming does not allow me to define UDAF (see a question I posted on stackoverflow about it: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42747236/how-to-define-udaf-over-event-time-windows-in-pyspark-2-1-0) - Spark DStream API does not look promising to this case due to the lack of support in count window.

For these reasons, I thoughtlessly wrote a toy example to see the feasibility of applying Python methods to values in the sliding window.
--------
import jep.Jep
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.scala._
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.scala.StreamExecutionEnvironment
import org.apache.flink.util.Collector
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.scala.function.AllWindowFunction
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.windowing.windows.GlobalWindow

class WindowFunction extends AllWindowFunction[String, String, GlobalWindow] {
  val jep = new Jep()
  jep.runScript("prediction.py")

override def apply(window: GlobalWindow, iter: Iterable[String], out: Collector[String]): Unit = {
    // ...
  }
}

object main {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment
    env.socketTextStream("localhost", 9999)
      .countWindowAll(5, 1)
      .apply(new WindowFunction())
      .print()
    env.execute()
  }
}

Now I'm facing with serializable error with the following error messages:

Apparently, the source of problem is the third party library called Jep which helps call Python scripts.
Do I have to make the third party library serializable?
Or there's a way to figure out this sort of thing in a totally different way in Flink?

Any help (even other frameworks than Flink) will be appreciated :-)
Thanks you.
