Failing to understand why I need to insert two intervals in the digest back-off strategy.
It's supposed to restart the digest every time there is a new event in a period of time.
I read the documentation a few times and still can't understand.
What's the first interval for?
What's the second interval for?

the second interval tells us how long we should check if there was a previous event inside if there was we will start a digest that will collecting during the first time interval you have choosen 🙂
Ok let's say I put in the first interval of 30 minutes.
then I have 4 events, each firing in a 10 minutes delay.
How many events will be in the digest
it depends on how much time you set in the second one
30 minutes
3 events will be digested, because first will not find anything 30 minutes back, second one will and check 30 min into the future and find 2 more events inside of the digest interval
If I want to that digest will never stop in an interval of 30 minutes.
Should I put like a huge number on the second input?
what do you mean?
we always check if there is an active digest and do not create a new one if there is one
I have a 30 minutes window,
every time there is a new event, I want another 30 minutes window
we do not have support for that right now, if I understand your needs correctly
@nevodavid Can you please create a feature request for this?
For the digest I wanted?
yes
