If we agree on this, then this PR is ready for review @dawidwys . > Support pattern group in CEP > ---------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-6927 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6927 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: CEP > Reporter: Dian Fu > Assignee: Dian Fu > > We should add support for pattern group. This would enrich the set of > supported patterns. For example, users can write patterns like this with this > feature available: > {code} > A --> (B --> C.times(3)).optional() --> D > {code} > or > {code} > A --> (B --> C).times(3) --> D > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
