Apache Flink - time between events
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am starting to experiment with Apache Flink and have achieved some very basic stuff. Now am I looking forward to finding out the time difference between consecutive elements.
My idea was to use countWindowAll(2) on a stream so that I could evaluate windows with 2 consecutive events. However, I don't understand how I can get access to the timestamps of the 2 events in the window to emit / map this into time difference.
Does someone have a good reference or even some example code for what I am trying to achieve ?

Do your events have event-time timestamps that you want to compare, or are you wanting to use the CPU clock to measure the interval between processing one event and the next?

I intend to use event-time timestamps. So far, I am experimenting with the Twitter stream to gather some experience - do the tweet events have event timestamps ?

Make a window with size 2 and apply the function to get the difference, something looks like this:text.flatMap(_.toLowerCase.split("\W+")).map((_, System.currentTimeMillis())).countWindowAll(2).apply[Long]((_, iter, c) => c.collect(iter.last._2 - iter.head._2)).print()

Keep in mind that most applications with event-time timestamps end up processing events that are out-of-order, in which case comparing the timestamps on consecutive events may not be very meaningful.

BTW, the WikipediaEditEvent objects used in ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.6/quickstart/… do have timestamps.
