------------------------------------
Hi [~fhueske] Thank you for the detailed explanation!!!
If I understand you correctly, you mean that we should rely on the type of
restrictions to guide users to do the right thing, in this case:
{code}
tab //('a,'b,'c)
.window( ... on 'a as 'w1) //WindowedTable
.groupBy('w1,'a,'b) //GroupedTable
.select('a,'b,c.count as 'mycount) //Table
.window(... on 'b as 'w2)
.groupBy('w2)
.select(...)
{code}
is this correct? If not, please let me know ... thanks a lot.
> Refactoring Window Clause
> -------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-5386
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5386
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: sunjincheng
> Assignee: sunjincheng
>
> Similar to the SQL, window clause is defined "as" a symbol which is
> explicitly used in groupby/over. We are proposing to refactor the way to
> write groupby+window tableAPI as follows:
> {code}
> val windowedTable = table
> .window(Slide over 10.milli every 5.milli as 'w1)
> .window(Tumble over 5.milli as 'w2)
> .groupBy('w1, 'key)
> .select('string, 'int.count as 'count, 'w1.start)
> .groupBy( 'w2, 'key)
> .select('string, 'count.sum as sum2)
> .window(Tumble over 5.milli as 'w3)
> .groupBy( 'w3) // windowAll
> .select('sum2, 'w3.start, 'w3.end)
> {code}
> In this way, we can remove both GroupWindowedTable and the window() method in
> GroupedTable which makes the API a bit clean. In addition, for row-window, we
> anyway need to define window clause as a symbol. This change will make the
> API of window and row-window consistent, example for row-window:
> {code}
> .window(RowXXXWindow as ‘x, RowYYYWindow as ‘y)
> .select(‘a, ‘b.count over ‘x as ‘xcnt, ‘c.count over ‘y as ‘ycnt, ‘x.start,
> ‘x.end)
> {code}
> What do you think? [~fhueske] [~twalthr]
