Package org.apache.flink.cep.nfa.sharedbuffer

Class SharedBuffer<V>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.flink.cep.nfa.sharedbuffer.SharedBuffer<V>

Type Parameters:

V - Type of the values

public class SharedBuffer<V>
extends Object

A shared buffer implementation which stores values under according state. Additionally, the values can be versioned such that it is possible to retrieve their predecessor element in the buffer.

The idea of the implementation is to have a buffer for incoming events with unique ids assigned to them. This way we do not need to deserialize events during processing and we store only one copy of the event.

The entries in SharedBuffer are SharedBufferNode. The shared buffer node allows to store relations between different entries. A dewey versioning scheme allows to discriminate between different relations (e.g. preceding element).

The implementation is strongly based on the paper "Efficient Pattern Matching over Event Streams".
