/**
 * Base interface for a pattern timeout function. A pattern timeout function is called with a map
 * containing the timed out partial events which can be accessed by their names and the timestamp
 * when the timeout occurred. The names depend on the definition of the {@link
 * org.apache.flink.cep.pattern.Pattern}. The timeout method returns exactly one result. If you want
 * to return more than one result, then you have to implement a {@link PatternFlatTimeoutFunction}.
 *
 * {@code
 * PatternStream pattern = ...;
 *
 * DataStream result = pattern.select(..., new MyPatternTimeoutFunction());
 * }
