Suggested Answer: 
    

Box 1: DATEDIFF -
DATEDIFF function returns the count (as a signed integer value) of the specified datepart boundaries crossed between the specified startdate and enddate.
Syntax: DATEDIFF ( datepart , startdate, enddate )
Box 2: LAST -
The LAST function can be used to retrieve the last event within a specific condition. In this example, the condition is an event of type Start, partitioning the search by PARTITION BY user and feature. This way, every user and feature is treated independently when searching for the Start event. LIMIT DURATION limits the search back in time to 1 hour between the End and Start events.
Example:
SELECT -
[user],
feature,
DATEDIFF(
second,
LAST(Time) OVER (PARTITION BY [user], feature LIMIT DURATION(hour,
1) WHEN Event = 'start'),
Time) as duration -
FROM input TIMESTAMP BY Time -
WHERE -
Event = 'end'
