Will it contain {{a b1 c1 c2 d2 e}} or {{a d1 d2 e}}? > Support branching CEP patterns > ------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4641 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4641 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: CEP > Reporter: Till Rohrmann > Assignee: Dian Fu > > We should add support for branching CEP patterns to the Pattern API. > {code} > |--> B --| > | | > A -- --> D > | | > |--> C --| > {code} > This feature will require changes to the {{Pattern}} class and the > {{NFACompiler}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
