Hello Mr Hueske,

Thank you for reaching out to my query.

The example stated in the documentation is the same use case for me where I
am trying to build a prototype regarding a traffic metric in Germany as a
part of my thesis.

The data is received from multiple detectors and there is a field which
measures the current cycle time(Umlaufsekunde) in the whole cycle.  So, as
far as my analysis I haven't seen any event as of now where the previous
Umlaufsekunde greater than the new one.

So if I understand you correctly,

 .keyBy(<key selector>)
    .window(<window assigner>)  --- Global Window
    .trigger(<trigger>)         --- Indicates when the collected data
is ready to be processed
    .<windowed transformation>(<window function>); --- Actual data processing

Could you point me to some repo(if you know of any) which has examples of
implementation of Triggers and Windows ?

Also, will the concept of generating timestamps/watermarks be applicable in
this scenario ?
