Hi!
In streaming, there is no "end" of the stream when you would emit the final
sum. That's why there are windows.
If you do not want the partial sums, but only the final sum, you need to
define what window in which the sum is computed. At the end of that window,
that value is emitted. The window can be based on time, counts, or other
measures.
Greetings,
Stephan
