Hi, Tha way to do this is to create your own evictor. In the evictor you can than decide when the events are removed. I would suggest creating a symmetric trigger as well because I would assume that you also need to fire the computation first after 1 hour and then at each 5 minutes. The logic would be that you have a field that marks whether a window was created or not (e.g., a Boolean field in the evictor class), which once a window is created you can set it to false and from there one you operate on 5 minutes windows

I have also posted a question on StackOverflow. PFB the link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36720192/custom-windows-charging-in-flink I am using Flink's TimeWindow functionality to perform some computations. I am creating a 5 minute Window. However I want to create a one hour Window for only the first time. The next Windows I need are of 5 minutes. Such that for the first hour, data is collected and my operation is performed on it. Once this is done, every five minutes the same operation is performed. Can you kindly help me with this? How can such a functionality be implemented?
