All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

@PublicEvolving
public class GlobalWindows
extends WindowAssigner<Object,GlobalWindow>

A WindowAssigner that assigns all elements to the same GlobalWindow.

Use this if you want to use a Trigger and Evictor to do flexible, policy based windows.

Method Details

assignWindows

public Collection<GlobalWindow> assignWindows(Object element,
 long timestamp,
 WindowAssigner.WindowAssignerContext context)

Description copied from class: WindowAssigner

Returns a Collection of windows that should be assigned to the element.

Specified by:

assignWindows in class WindowAssigner<Object,GlobalWindow>

Parameters:

element - The element to which windows should be assigned.

timestamp - The timestamp of the element.

context - The WindowAssigner.WindowAssignerContext in which the assigner operates.

getDefaultTrigger

public Trigger<Object,GlobalWindow> getDefaultTrigger()

Description copied from class: WindowAssigner

Returns the default trigger associated with this WindowAssigner.

1. If you override getDefaultTrigger(), the getDefaultTrigger() will be invoked and the getDefaultTrigger(StreamExecutionEnvironment env) won't be invoked. 2. If you don't override getDefaultTrigger(), the getDefaultTrigger(StreamExecutionEnvironment env) will be invoked in the default implementation of the getDefaultTrigger().

Specified by:

getDefaultTrigger in class WindowAssigner<Object,GlobalWindow>

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

create

public static GlobalWindows create()

Creates a WindowAssigner that assigns all elements to the same GlobalWindow. The window is only useful if you also specify a custom trigger. Otherwise, the window will never be triggered and no computation will be performed.

createWithEndOfStreamTrigger

public static GlobalWindows createWithEndOfStreamTrigger()

Creates a WindowAssigner that assigns all elements to the same GlobalWindow and the window is triggered if and only if the input stream is ended.

getWindowSerializer

public org.apache.flink.api.common.typeutils.TypeSerializer<GlobalWindow> getWindowSerializer(org.apache.flink.api.common.ExecutionConfig executionConfig)

Description copied from class: WindowAssigner

Returns a TypeSerializer for serializing windows that are assigned by this WindowAssigner.

Specified by:

getWindowSerializer in class WindowAssigner<Object,GlobalWindow>

isEventTime

public boolean isEventTime()

Description copied from class: WindowAssigner

Returns true if elements are assigned to windows based on event time, false otherwise.

Specified by:

isEventTime in class WindowAssigner<Object,GlobalWindow>
