org.apache.flink.streaming.api.operators.co.IntervalJoinOperator<K,T1,T2,OUT>

Type Parameters:

K - The type of the key based on which we join elements.

T1 - The type of the elements in the left stream.

T2 - The type of the elements in the right stream.

OUT - The output type created by the user-defined function.

@Internal
public class IntervalJoinOperator<K,T1,T2,OUT>
extends AbstractUdfStreamOperator<OUT,ProcessJoinFunction<T1,T2,OUT>>
implements TwoInputStreamOperator<T1,T2,OUT>, Triggerable<K,String>

An operator to execute time-bounded stream inner joins.

By using a configurable lower and upper bound this operator will emit exactly those pairs (T1, T2) where t2.ts ∈ [T1.ts + lowerBound, T1.ts + upperBound]. Both the lower and the upper bound can be configured to be either inclusive or exclusive.

As soon as elements are joined they are passed to a user-defined ProcessJoinFunction.

The basic idea of this implementation is as follows: Whenever we receive an element at processElement1(StreamRecord) (a.k.a. the left side), we add it to the left buffer. We then check the right buffer to see whether there are any elements that can be joined. If there are, they are joined and passed to the aforementioned function. The same happens the other way around when receiving an element on the right side.

Whenever a pair of elements is emitted it will be assigned the max timestamp of either of the elements.

In order to avoid the element buffers to grow indefinitely a cleanup timer is registered per element. This timer indicates when an element is not considered for joining anymore and can be removed from the state.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	initializeState(org.apache.flink.runtime.state.StateInitializationContext context) Stream operators with state which can be restored need to override this hook method.

Constructor Detail

IntervalJoinOperator

public IntervalJoinOperator(long lowerBound,
                            long upperBound,
                            boolean lowerBoundInclusive,
                            boolean upperBoundInclusive,

                            ProcessJoinFunction<T1,T2,OUT> udf)

Creates a new IntervalJoinOperator.

Parameters:

lowerBound - The lower bound for evaluating if elements should be joined

upperBound - The upper bound for evaluating if elements should be joined

lowerBoundInclusive - Whether or not to include elements where the timestamp matches the lower bound

upperBoundInclusive - Whether or not to include elements where the timestamp matches the upper bound

udf - A user-defined ProcessJoinFunction that gets called whenever two elements of T1 and T2 are joined

Method Detail

open

public void open()
          throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractStreamOperator

This method is called immediately before any elements are processed, it should contain the operator's initialization logic, e.g. state initialization.

The default implementation does nothing.

Specified by:

open in interface StreamOperator<OUT>

Overrides:

open in class AbstractUdfStreamOperator<OUT,ProcessJoinFunction<T1,T2,OUT>>

Throws:

Exception - An exception in this method causes the operator to fail.

initializeState

public void initializeState(org.apache.flink.runtime.state.StateInitializationContext context)
                     throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractStreamOperator

Stream operators with state which can be restored need to override this hook method.

Specified by:

initializeState in interface StreamOperatorStateHandler.CheckpointedStreamOperator

Overrides:

initializeState in class AbstractUdfStreamOperator<OUT,ProcessJoinFunction<T1,T2,OUT>>

Parameters:

context - context that allows to register different states.

Throws:

Exception

processElement1

public void processElement1(StreamRecord<T1> record)
                     throws Exception

Process a StreamRecord from the left stream. Whenever an StreamRecord arrives at the left stream, it will get added to the left buffer. Possible join candidates for that element will be looked up from the right buffer and if the pair lies within the user defined boundaries, it gets passed to the ProcessJoinFunction.

Specified by:

processElement1 in interface TwoInputStreamOperator<T1,T2,OUT>

Parameters:

record - An incoming record to be joined

Throws:

Exception - Can throw an Exception during state access

processElement2

public void processElement2(StreamRecord<T2> record)
                     throws Exception

Process a StreamRecord from the right stream. Whenever a StreamRecord arrives at the right stream, it will get added to the right buffer. Possible join candidates for that element will be looked up from the left buffer and if the pair lies within the user defined boundaries, it gets passed to the ProcessJoinFunction.

Specified by:

processElement2 in interface TwoInputStreamOperator<T1,T2,OUT>

Parameters:

record - An incoming record to be joined

Throws:

Exception - Can throw an exception during state access
