Hey,
I face the same problem and decided to go with your third solution. I use
Groovy as the scripting language, which has access to Java classes and
therefore also to Flink constructs like Time.seconds(10). See below for an
example of a pattern definition with Groovy:
private static Binding bind = new Binding();
private static GroovyShell gs = new GroovyShell(bind);
Pattern<BDS,?> dynPattern = Pattern
.<BDS>begin(two.getState()).where((FilterFunction<BoxDatensatz>)
bds -> {
bind.setVariable("bds", bds);
Object ergPat = gs.evaluate(two.getWhere());
return ( (ergPat instanceof Boolean)) ?(Boolean)ergPat : false;
})
.within((gs.evaluate(two.getWithin()) instanceof Time) ?
(Time)gs.evaluate(two.getWithin()) : null);
Sorry, but I'm not aware on how to format this nicely.
I don't know, if it's the best way, but it works :)
Best,
Claudia

Betreff: Re: What is the best way to load/add patterns dynamically (at runtime)
with Flink?
I've been thinking in several options to solve this problem:
1. I can use Flink savepoints in order to save the application state , change
the jar file and submit a new job (as the new jar file with the patterns
added/changed). The problem in this case is to be able to correctly handle the
savepoints and because I must stop and start the job, the events will be
delayed.
2. I can compile java code at runtime using using java compiler library I don't
know if this would be a viable solution.
3. I can use a scripting language like you did, but I would lose the ability to
use the native Flink library which is available in scala and java.
