Hi Georgi, I would already emit the new time stamp (with resolution 10 min) in the mapper. This allows you to (pre)aggregate the data already in the mapper and you have less traffic during the shuffle & sort stage. Changing the resolution means you have to aggregate the individual entities or do you still need all individual entities and just want to translate the timestamp to another resolution (5s => 10 min)?
