## What is the purpose of the change In theory, `StreamPhysicalWindowTableFunction` should works as a window assigner and emits at ends of window. However, `StreamPhysicalWindowTableFunction` could be simplified to a simple window assigner, and emits per record if it's successor node is one of `WindowRank`/`WindowJoin`/`WindowAggregate` with `WindowAttachedWindowingStrategy`, because those nodes would assign input records to windows have been assigned in input nodes, and trigger emit at ends of window. Besides, we should add a limit that window is based on rowtime, because it has syntax problem if window is assigned based on the proc-time of previous operator. The pr introduce a rule to simplify window-tvf. ## Brief change log - Introduce `SimplifyWindowTableFunctionRule` - Add a flag in `StreamPhysicalWindowTableFunction` to specify whether it is a simplify window tvf. ## Verifying this change - existed UT in `WindowRankTest` and `WindowJoinTest` ## 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, Kubernetes/Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (no) - The S3 file system connector: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
