PatternTimeoutFunction (Flink : 2.0-SNAPSHOT API)

Type Parameters:

IN - Type of the input elements

OUT - Type of the output element

All Superinterfaces:

Function, Serializable
```
public interface PatternTimeoutFunction<IN,OUT>
extends Function, Serializable
```
Base interface for a pattern timeout function. A pattern timeout function is called with a map containing the timed out partial events which can be accessed by their names and the timestamp when the timeout occurred. The names depend on the definition of the Pattern. The timeout method returns exactly one result. If you want to return more than one result, then you have to implement a PatternFlatTimeoutFunction.
```
 PatternStream<IN> pattern = ...;

 DataStream<OUT> result = pattern.select(..., new MyPatternTimeoutFunction());
 
```
