Good questions - and thanks for pointing out the incomplete javadoc for the V parameter!
Have you tried customizing the "close()" method in your Slot implementation? This is called when a new slot replaces the old one. That would be a convenient place to dump the slot data to a file. updateOpenSlot() is just to put data in the current slot. Note that most things can be overriden, including the AbstractSlidingWindowPE class itself, in order to better suit your specific needs. Hope this helps, Matthieu On Feb 22, 2013, at 18:54 , medikare mds wrote: > I'm trying to implement a time-based sliding window in my PE. I want a set of > records to be maintained in each slot.
