> In order to support Oracle's MATCH_RECOGNIZE on top of the CEP library, we need to support AFTER MATCH SKIP function in CEP API.
> There're four options in AFTER MATCH SKIP, listed as follows:
> 1. AFTER MATCH SKIP TO NEXT ROW: resume pattern matching at the row after the first row of the current match.
> 2. AFTER MATCH SKIP PAST LAST ROW: resume pattern matching at the next row after the last row of the current match.
> 3. AFTER MATCH SKIP TO FIST *RPV*: resume pattern matching at the first row that is mapped to the row pattern variable RPV.
> 4. AFTER MATCH SKIP TO LAST *RPV*: resume pattern matching at the last row that is mapped to the row pattern variable RPV.
> I think we can introduce a new function to `CEP` class, which takes a new parameter as AfterMatchSKipStrategy.
> The new API may looks like this
> {code}
> public static <T> PatternStream<T> pattern(DataStream<T> input, Pattern<T, ?> pattern, AfterMatchSkipStrategy afterMatchSkipStrategy) 
> {code}
> We can also make `SKIP TO NEXT ROW` as the default option, because that's what CEP library behaves currently.
