It might be more complicated if you want to take into account events coming in out of order. For example you limit length of window to 5 and you get the following events:
1 2 3 4 6 7 8 5 Do you want to emit windows: [1 2 3 4 5] (length limit exceeded) + [6 7 8] ? Or are you fine with interleaving windows in case of out of order: [1 2 3 4 6] + [5 7 8] If the latter one, some custom Trigger should be enough for you. If not, you would need to implement hypothetical MergingAndSplitableWindowAssigner, that after encountering late event “5” could split previously created windows. Unfortunately such feature is not supported by a WindowOperator, so you would have to implement your own operator for this. Regardless of your option remember to write some integration tests: https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.4/dev/stream/testing.html#integration-testing <https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.4/dev/stream/testing.html#integration-testing> Piotrek > On 8 Nov 2017, at 21:43, Vishal Santoshi <vishal.santo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I am implementing a bounded session window but I require to short circuit the > session if the session length ( in count of events or time ) go beyond a > configured limit , a very reasonable scenario ( bot etc ) .
