Hey Raul! What you describe should work with Flink. This is actually the way to go to replace your batch processor with a stream processor ;-). Rewind your stream and re-run the streaming job. To get accurate and repeatable results you have to work with event time. Otherwise, the results for windows will vary from run to run. The only problems I see concern how to control the different iterations of your program. Do the iterations have to proceed one after the other, e.g. first finish 1, then start 2, etc.? – Ufuk
