Hi Aljoscha, Thanks for the response.
I did think about creating a new class similar to TimestampedValue as you suggested, but that class looked almost same as the current StreamRecord<T> class. (Both have a timestamp field and a value field). Do you think it is fine to have another class for holding (timestamp,value) tuple?
