Dian Fu created FLINK-8144: ------------------------------ Summary: Optimize the timer logic in RowTimeUnboundedOver Key: FLINK-8144 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8144 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Components: Table API & SQL Reporter: Dian Fu Assignee: Dian Fu Fix For: 1.5.0
Currently the logic of {{RowTimeUnboundedOver}} is as follows: 1) When element comes, buffer it in MapState and and register a timer at {{current watermark + 1}} 2) When event timer triggered, scan the MapState and find the elements below the current watermark and process it. If there are remaining elements to process, register a new timer at {{current watermark + 1}}. Let's assume that watermark comes about 5 seconds later than the event on average, then we will scan about 5000 times the MapState before actually processing the events. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
