Flink CEP pattern design question
Currently I'm designing a CEP pattern to satisfy our business needs.
Basically, there's two events let's call it a and b.
Both a and b can have zero or multiple entries in the log.
For input {a,b1,b2}, I want to get the output of {a,b1,b2}
For input {b1,b2}, I want to get the output of {b1,b2} after a timeout
period(10 seconds)
For input {a1,a2}, I want to get the output of {a1,a2} after a timeout
period(10 seconds)
Currently, my code looks like this.
val pattern = Pattern
.begin[Event]("start")
.where(_._.getName == "a")
.oneOrMore.optional
.followedBy("end")
.where(_._.getName == "b")
.oneOrMore.optional
.within(Time.seconds(10))
For input {a,b1,b2}, I got the output of {a1} {a1,b1} {a,b1,b2} {b1,b2} {b2}
For input {b1,b2}, I got the output of {b1,b2} {b1} {b2}
For input {a1,a2}, I got the output of {a1,a2} {a1} {a2}
Also tried SKIP_PAST_LAST_EVENT policy, and didn't work.
Please advice me how to design this pattern to match my needs.

I think what you ask for is something like timing out greedy[1]
quantifier, which is not supported.
As a rather dirty workaround you could try sth like:
Pattern
.begin[Event]("start")
.where(_._.getName == "a")
.oneOrMore.optional.greedy
.followedBy("end")
.where(_._.getName == "b")
.oneOrMore.optional.greedy
.followedBy("dummy")
.where(_ => false)
.within(Time.seconds(10))
and work only with the timed out matches. Another option is you can try
implementing that logic with ProcessFunction[2]
Best,
Dawid
