<h2>Fixed Time Window</h2>
<p>
Windowing subdivides a PCollection according to the timestamps of its individual elements.
Transforms that aggregate multiple elements, such as GroupByKey and Combine, work implicitly on
a per-window basis — they process each PCollection as a succession of multiple, finite windows,
though the entire collection itself may be of unbounded size.
</p>
<p>
In the Beam model, any PCollection (including unbounded PCollections) can be subdivided into
logical windows. Each element in a PCollection is assigned to one or more windows according to
the PCollection’s windowing function, and each individual window contains a finite number of
elements. Grouping transforms then consider each PCollection’s elements on a per-window basis.
GroupByKey, for example, implicitly groups the elements of a PCollection by key and window.

<div>
Beam provides several windowing functions, including:
<ul>
<li>Fixed Time Windows</li>
<li>Sliding Time Windows</li>
<li>Per-Session Windows</li>
<li>Single Global Window</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>
The simplest form of windowing is using fixed time windows. A fixed time window represents a
consistent duration, non overlapping time interval in the data stream.

<p>
<b>Kata:</b> Please count the number of events that happened based on fixed window with
1-day duration.
