# window(windowLength, slideInterval)

### window(windowLength, slideInterval)

Return a new DStream which is computed based on windowed batches of the source DStream.

Example:

```
import org.apache.spark._
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext._
import org.apache.spark.streaming._
import org.apache.spark.streaming.StreamingContext._
import org.apache.log4j.{Level, Logger}
import org.apache.spark.sql.{Row, SaveMode, SparkSession}
import org.apache.spark.sql.SQLContext

Logger.getLogger("org").setLevel(Level.ERROR)  
val spark = SparkSession
          .builder()
          .config("spark.master", "local[2]")
          .appName("streaming for book")
          .getOrCreate()

spark.sparkContext.setCheckpointDir("/tmp/")

import spark.implicits._
val sc=spark.sparkContext
val ssc = new StreamingContext(sc, Seconds(1))


val messages1 = ssc.textFileStream("/tmp/filestream1/")
val messages2 = ssc.textFileStream("/tmp/filestream2/")
val messages3 = messages1.union(messages2)
val messages=messages3.filter(_.nonEmpty)

val windowMsg=messages.window(Seconds(10), Seconds(5))

windowMsg.print()

ssc.start()
ssc.awaitTermination()

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://george-jen.gitbook.io/data-science-and-apache-spark/window-windowlength-slideinterval.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
