If you are interested in performing ultra low latency (<1ms) CEP via SQL, take a close look at SQLstream Blaze (http://www.sqlstream.com) and it's full implementation of Allen's Interval Algebra (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen%27s_interval_algebra) via SQL temporal predicates: http://sqlstream.com/docs/sqlrf_planned_feature_temporal_pre.... This stuff runs at 1,000,000 events per second per core and can scale out in conjunction with Kafka across any number of servers.
