Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus are provided for a configurable streaming operator to join or aggregate input data streams in a streaming application topology. The configurable operator may include a configuration data stream that allows for the selection of a varying number of input streams to join or aggregate. Introducing the configuration stream into a streaming operator allows the underlying operator to selectively use the remaining input streams based on the configuration stream as well as influencing the resulting output stream as defined by the configuration stream to provide flexibility in handling various configurations with a minimum and/or maximum of input streams.
