Hi @yestinchen
Thanks for your feedback.
Right now, I just want to address the empty match issue. It is not easy to
apply that definition to unbounded data. In the SQL specification at the end of
partition we can deterministically decide if a partial match is empty or not.
It is not the case in unbounded data, as future arriving events may make the
partial matches empty.
Those are the nuances I think should be addressed first, but I agree there
are many similarities.
I will try to address rest later during the day, but I think we should
continue in the JIRA.
> Support AFTER MATCH SKIP function in CEP library API
> ----------------------------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-7169
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7169
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: CEP
> Reporter: Yueting Chen
> Assignee: Yueting Chen
>
> In order to support Oracle's MATCH_RECOGNIZE on top of the CEP library, we
> need to support AFTER MATCH SKIP function in CEP API.
> There're four options in AFTER MATCH SKIP, listed as follows:
> 1. AFTER MATCH SKIP TO NEXT ROW: resume pattern matching at the row after the
> first row of the current match.
> 2. AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW: resume pattern matching at the next row
> after the last row of the current match.
> 3. AFTER MATCH SKIP TO FIST *RPV*: resume pattern matching at the first row
> that is mapped to the row pattern variable RPV.
> 4. AFTER MATCH SKIP TO LAST *RPV*: resume pattern matching at the last row
> that is mapped to the row pattern variable RPV.
> I think we can introduce a new function to `CEP` class, which takes a new
> parameter as AfterMatchSKipStrategy.
> The new API may looks like this
> {code}
> public static <T> PatternStream<T> pattern(DataStream<T> input, Pattern<T, ?>
> pattern, AfterMatchSkipStrategy afterMatchSkipStrategy)
> {code}
> We can also make `SKIP TO NEXT ROW` as the default option, because that's
> what CEP library behaves currently.
