Hi Daniel, The NOT operation is not yet supported in the CEP library but there is an open issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3320 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3320> and we are working on integrating it in the next release of the CEP library.
Please monitor the issue to check the progress on the topic. Now what you could do until this is done, is that you can specify a pattern that also accepts the Stop, and then take the matched patterns stream and filter out the ones that include it. Could this help you achieve what you want?
