How do I find the time difference between these events?

We have the events like below (fields like flowId, action..etc) and need a final output between the events (action = FLOW_END_SUCCESS and FLOW_START) time difference based on flowId,

2016-05-18 21:33:10,208 INFO [pool-3-thread-1] c.n.m.l.EventLogger [EventLogger.java:18] env=DEV, flowId=1463607190206, flow=INTAKE, type=player, action=FLOW_END_SUCCESS, mpxId=116310, accountId=46862

Final output:

flowId,    time_difference_in_ms
1463607185173,   1234
1463607190206,   5678

See if this gives you what you're looking for

| stats values(eval(if(action="FLOW_START", _time, null()))) AS start values(eval(if(action="FLOW_END_SUCCESS", _time, null()))) AS end by flowId | eval dur=tostring(end-start, "duration")
