Hey, They actually work :P Although I have to admit I need to do some refactoring of the method names and parameters.
I made some quick refactoring and added some comments for the key methods: https://github.com/mbalassi/flink/blob/dfa028ce5102b1f0d098eaec6c4b4d3744bee379/flink-staging/flink-streaming/flink-streaming-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/api/windowing/windowbuffer/SlidingPreReducer.java#L96 https://github.com/mbalassi/flink/blob/dfa028ce5102b1f0d098eaec6c4b4d3744bee379/flink-staging/flink-streaming/flink-streaming-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/api/windowing/windowbuffer/SlidingPreReducer.java#L105 https://github.com/mbalassi/flink/blob/dfa028ce5102b1f0d098eaec6c4b4d3744bee379/flink-staging/flink-streaming/flink-streaming-core/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/api/windowing/windowbuffer/SlidingPreReducer.java#L132 Those three parts contain the key logic, and now the method names should make more sense as well :) Cheers, Gyula On Wed, Apr 29, 2015 at 4:44 PM, Aljoscha Krettek <aljos...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi, > one of my notorious (by now) investigative questions: How do these > work?
