Claim 7:
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the operator graph includes the first stream operator, a second stream operator, and a third stream operator, each of the first, second, and third stream operators being inside the window, the first and second stream operators being configured to transmit tuples to the third stream operator,
wherein the third stream operator is configured to receive tuples from the first stream operator and from the second stream operator, aggregate the received tuples, and perform an operation on the aggregated tuples, and
wherein the modifying the stream computing application comprises:
severing an execution path between the first stream operator and the third stream operator; and
modifying the third stream operator to perform the operation in response to aggregating a third number of tuples from the second stream operator, wherein the modified third stream operator is configured to perform the operation without tuples from the first stream operator.
