Hi, spark https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/structured-streaming-programming-guide.html#triggers offers a variety of triggers.
In particular, it also has the "once" mode: *One-time micro-batch* The query will execute *only one* micro-batch to process all the available data and then stop on its own. This is useful in scenarios you want to periodically spin up a cluster, process everything that is available since the last period, and then shutdown the cluster. In some case, this may lead to significant cost savings. Does flink have a similar possibility? Best, Georg
