Hi Diwakar, I'm not sure I fully understand your question. If event handling in one window depends on some other windows than TriggerContext.getPartitionedState can not be used. Triggers don't have access to the global state (only to key-window scoped state). If that's what you want then please consider ProcessWindowFunction [1] where you can use context.globalState() in your process function.
