Spreadsheets for Stream Partitions and Windows
This work addresses the challenge of adapting spreadsheet models for streaming systems, which is an incremental improvement for developers in data processing.
The authors tackled the problem of using spreadsheets for programming streaming systems by proposing two extensions to overcome their boundedness limitations, demonstrating their utility in this context.
We discuss the suitability of spreadsheet processors as tools for programming streaming systems. We argue that, while spreadsheets can function as powerful models for stream operators, their fundamental boundedness limits their scope of application. We propose two extensions to the spreadsheet model and argue their utility in the context of programming streaming systems.
