The Dataflow Model: A Practical Approach to Balancing Correctness, Latency, and Cost in Massive-Scale, Unbounded, Out-of-Order Data Processing

Summary: Proposes Dataflow Model, an abstraction for unbounded streams, enabling event-time processing with tunable correctness, latency, and cost. Advocates ongoing arrival and possible retractions, with formal semantics, core principles, and validation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
