For example, if you wish to create an hourly output that will aggregate data for the last day, then the output interval should be 1 hour, but override window size should be 1 day. This option is useful when used in combination with upserts. For example, if you want the latest total count of events per user, set the Override Window to infinite; in this case, every time an event arises for a user, the updated total count for the user is upserted, and the old record is deleted.
