StreamWindow abstraction + modular window computations
This PR introduces a rework to the current windowing semantics, by major
API and Runtime improvements.
The core new abstraction is the StreamWindow which encapsulates the
contents of a window in the data stream. Now the WindowedDataStream symbolises
transformations on a DataStream of StreamWindows. This allows the users to
properly collect, and work with the results of the window transformations.
API changes:
Previously the call `ds.window(...).groupBy(...).reduce(...)` would have
returned a stream of reduced values by key in the given window. There was no
way of properly obtaining all the (key, value) pairs from the window reduce
calls just the flattened windows. This also made it impossible to apply more
than one transformations on the same window without having to re-descritize it.
The new api introduces several changes here:
`ds.window(...).groupBy(...).reduceWindow(...)` returns a
WindowedDataStream which than can be further transformed by applying
transformations on the resulting window. The user can also call `.flatten()` or
`.getDiscretizedStream()` to obtain the DataStream of the flattened values or
the DataStream of StreamWindows.
The reduce and reduceGroup functions have been renamed to reduceWindow and
mapWindow respectively to emphasise the functionality.
Runtime changes:
The windowing runtime has been completely reworked to make the components
modular for future improvements:
DataStream -> StreamDiscretizer -> (PreAggregator) -> WindowPartitioner ->
Transformation (reduce/map) -> WindowMerge
This allows easier special-casing for specific window types for maximal
performance, such as applying special preaggregators or parallel stream
discretisation for global windows (time) as well.
Further tasks after merge:
-Add pre-aggregators for time windows
-Add pre-aggregator for sliding count windows
-Improve test coverage for all pre-implemented policies
-Further optimise partitioning-reduce parallelism
I will add one last commit which will update the javadocs and the streaming
guide.
