----------------------------------------

Yogi,

This is a good suggestion. We should change it in the next major release.

Perhaps we can open a JIRA that we can use to list this and similar items
so they are not forgotten.

With respect to windowing in general we should look into expanding from the
current processing time based approach. We support event time in several
operators. We can look at Beam and Flink to broaden this.

> Attribute APPLICATION_WINDOW_COUNT from OperatorContext should have better name.
> Because:
> 1. From the name it looks like a attribute of the APPLICATION; but actually it is an Operator attribute.
> 2. It is very confusing to say that APPLICATION_WINDOW_COUNT can be different for different Operators within an Application.  
> Can we have some better name for this attribute? 
> Any suggestions for the new name? 
> I propose following names:
> 1. OPERATOR_WINDOW_COUNT
> 2. OPERATOR_WINDOW_SPAN
