Gabor Gevay commented on FLINK-2147: ------------------------------------ I'm actually now closing the incremental median and similar stuff, as it was based on the assumption of the old (pre-0.10) windowing API that events come in ordered by time, so it doesn't fit into the new API.

It is described by Cormode > et al. in the following paper: > http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/~graham/pubs/papers/cmsoft.pdf > Note that this algorithm can be conveniently implemented in a distributed > way, as described in section 3.2 of the paper. > The paper > http://www.vldb.org/conf/2002/S10P03.pdf > also describes algorithms for approximately keeping track of frequencies, but > here the user can specify a threshold below which she is not interested in > the frequency of an element. The error-bounds are also different than the > Count-min sketch algorithm. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
