Jark Wu updated FLINK-5047:
---------------------------
    Description: 
Add Slide group-windows for batch tables as described in 
[FLIP-11|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLINK/FLIP-11%3A+Table+API+Stream+Aggregations].

There are two ways to implement sliding windows for batch:
1. replicate the output in order to assign keys for overlapping windows. This 
is probably the more straight-forward implementation and supports any 
aggregation function but blows up the data volume.
2. if the aggregation functions are combinable / pre-aggregatable, we can also 
find the largest tumbling window size from which the sliding windows can be 
assembled. This is basically the technique used to express sliding windows with 
plain SQL (GROUP BY + OVER clauses). For a sliding window Slide(10 minutes, 2 
minutes) this would mean to first compute aggregates of non-overlapping 
(tumbling) 2 minute windows and assembling consecutively 5 of these into a 
sliding window (could be done in a MapPartition with sorted input). The 
implementation could be done as an optimizer rule to split the sliding 
aggregate into a tumbling aggregate and a SQL WINDOW operator. Maybe it makes 
sense to implement the WINDOW clause first and reuse this for sliding windows.
