--------------------------------------
Hi [~ivan.mushketyk],
I think this feature should be part of the pattern definition. Maybe we could
add it like:
{code}
Pattern<Event>.begin("a").followedBy("b").matchingBehaviour(MatchingBehaviour.AfterLast)
{code}
> Add sequence matching semantics to discard matched events

> Key: FLINK-3703
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3703
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CEP
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 1.1.0
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Priority: Minor
>
> There is no easy way to decide whether events can be part of multiple
> matching sequences or not. Currently, the default is that an event can
> participate in multiple matching sequences. E.g. if you have the pattern
> {{Pattern.<Event>begin("a").followedBy("b")}} and the input event stream
> {{Event("A"), Event("B"), Event("C")}}, then you will generate the following
> matching sequences: {{Event("A"), Event("B")}}, {{Event("A"), Event("C")}}
> and {{Event("B"), Event("C")}}.
> It would be useful to allow the user to define where the matching algorithm
> should continue after a matching sequence has been found. Possible option
> values could be
> * {{from first}} - continue keeping all events for future matches (that is
> the current behaviour)
> * {{after first}} - continue after the first element (remove first matching
> event and continue with the second event)
> * {{after last}} - continue after the last element (effectively discarding
> all elements of the matching sequence)
