[jira] [Created] (BEAM-3117) Beam Programming Guide incorrectly correlates bundles with windows

Derek Hao Hu created BEAM-3117:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Beam Programming Guide incorrectly correlates bundles with windows 
                 Key: BEAM-3117
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3117
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: website
    Affects Versions: Not applicable
            Reporter: Derek Hao Hu
            Assignee: Reuven Lax


The current [Beam Programming Guide](https://beam.apache.org/documentation/programming-guide/) states that: "Beam processes each window as a bundle, and processing continues as the data set is generated. These logical windows are determined by some characteristic associated with a data element, such as a timestamp."

This confuses people as one may feel windows and bundles are terms that might be used interchangeably. During an online discussion, [~kenn] has pointed out that this is incorrect: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/beam-user/201710.mbox/%3CCAN_Ypr1FHEUAiV0k65u9JFXZ0F-FKM1rst-DKCRzx5zVF17XbQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E
