Hi William, I've reproduced your example locally for some toy data and everything was working as expected (with the early triggering). So I'm assuming either there is something wrong with your input data or the behavior doesn't always manifest.
Here's the example I run in case you want to try: https://gist.github.com/mxm/6cb1e6e9a572a26df76917176849f405 Gyula is right, the ContinuousEventTimeTrigger never purges the window but that you can circumvent that by extending this trigger and purging at the end of the window, similarly as done in the EventTimeTrigger. -Max On Mon, Nov 21, 2016 at 6:52 PM, William Saar <will...@saar.se> wrote: > Thanks! > > Yes, the SlidingEventTimeWindow works, but is there any way to pre-aggregate > things with tumbling windows that emit events more often than their window > size?
