<div class="block">This class counts objects in a sliding window fashion.
<p/>
It is designed 1) to give multiple "producer" threads write access to the counter, i.e. being able to increment
counts of objects, and 2) to give a single "consumer" thread (e.g. <a href="../bolt/RollingCountBolt.html" title="class in org.apache.storm.starter.bolt"><code>RollingCountBolt</code></a>)
read access to the counter. Whenever the consumer thread performs a read operation, this class will advance the head slot
of the sliding window counter. This means that the consumer thread indirectly controls where writes of the producer threads
will go to. Also, by itself this class will not advance the head slot.
<p/>
A note for analyzing data based on a sliding window count: During the initial <code>windowLengthInSlots</code>
iterations, this sliding window counter will always return object counts that are equal or greater than in the
previous iteration. This is the effect of the counter "loading up" at the very start of its existence. Conceptually,
this is the desired behavior.
<p/>
To give an example, using a counter with 5 slots which for the sake of this example represent 1 minute of time each:
<p/>
<pre>
<code>
Sliding window counts of an object X over time
Minute (timeline):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Observed counts per minute:
1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0
Counts returned by counter:
1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1
</code>
</pre>
<p/>
As you can see in this example, for the first <code>windowLengthInSlots</code> (here: the first five minutes) the
counter will always return counts equal or greater than in the previous iteration (1, 2, 3, 4, 4). This initial load
effect needs to be accounted for whenever you want to perform analyses such as trending topics; otherwise your
analysis algorithm might falsely identify the object to be trending as the counter seems to observe continuously
increasing counts. Also, note that during the initial load phase <em>every object</em> will exhibit increasing
counts.
<p/>
On a high-level, the counter exhibits the following behavior: If you asked the example counter after two minutes,
"how often did you count the object during the past five minutes?", then it should reply "I have counted it 2 times
in the past five minutes", implying that it can only account for the last two of those five minutes because the
counter was not running before that time.</div>
