Hi,
you could do it with a combination of GlobalWindows and the
ContinuousProcessingTimeTrigger:
env.socketTextStream("192.168.1.101", 9999)
.map(new mapper())
.keyBy(0)
.window(GlobalWindows.create())
.trigger(PurgingTrigger.of(ContinuousProcessingTimeTrigger.of(Time.seconds(5))))
.apply(new MyRichWindowFunction())
This, however, will fire on 5 second intervals only for keys that have
already been seen once. So it might not be too useful. In general, it is
hard to do empty windows since windows are normally always tied to a key,
and if there is not element there is no key, and therefore normally no
window.
Cheers,
Aljoscha
