[FLINK-6697] [table] Add support for window.rowtime to batch Table API. ## What is the purpose of the change This PR adds support for the `windowAlias.rowtime` property to the batch Table API. The `rowtime` expression is already supported by the streaming Table API. This PR improves the unification of batch and streaming Table API queries. ## Brief change log - adjust the validation and return type of the `RowtimeAttribute` expression - pass rowtime index to DataSet window operators - adjust `TimeWindowPropertyCollector` to set rowtime attribute in batch windows - extend existing tests to check the new window property ## Verifying this change - existing tests in `GroupWindowITCase` were extended to check the `rowtime` window property. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): **no** - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: **no** - The serializers: **no** - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): **no** - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: **no** ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? **yes** - If yes, how is the feature documented? **Documentation is extended** You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/fhueske/flink tableBatchRowtime Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/4796.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #4796 ---- commit 06fddde1ee6ad3aea17b7c11495090964cb0ef1c Author: Fabian Hueske <fhue...@apache.org> Date: 2017-08-06T21:55:56Z [FLINK-6697] [table] Add support for window.rowtime to batch Table API. ---- ---
