Window Accumulation Mode

When you specify a trigger, you must also set the the window’s accumulation mode. When a trigger fires, it emits the current contents of the window as a pane. Since a trigger can fire multiple times, the accumulation mode determines whether the system accumulates the window panes as the trigger fires, or discards them.

Kata: Given that events are being generated every second and a fixed window of 1-day duration, please implement an early trigger that emits the number of events count immediately after new element is processed in accumulating mode.


Use accumulatingFiredPanes() to set a window to accumulate the panes that are produced when the trigger fires.
Use withEarlyFirings to set early firing triggers.
Use FixedWindows with 1-day duration using AfterWatermark.pastEndOfWindow() trigger.
Set the allowed lateness to 0.
Use Combine.globally and Count.combineFn to calculate the count of events.
