Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-6233:
--------------------------------------
Yes, that would be the idea. We keep all timestamps in the regular Row (instead
of the timestamp field of the StreamRecord) and only set the StreamRecord
timestamp field when the subsequent operator needs it (e.g., a DataStream
window operator).
This would require to quite a few changes in way how timestamps are handles in
the operator implementations, code generation, timestamp materialization, etc.
I would propose to move this discussion to the dev mailing list to reach
consensus first. If we agree on the changes, we would first change the
timestamp handling of the existing code before working on adding the join. What
do you think [~xccui]?
> Support rowtime inner equi-join between two streams in the SQL API

> Key: FLINK-6233
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6233
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: hongyuhong
> Assignee: Xingcan Cui
>
> The goal of this issue is to add support for inner equi-join on proc time
> streams to the SQL interface.
> Queries similar to the following should be supported:
> {code}
> SELECT o.rowtime , o.productId, o.orderId, s.rowtime AS shipTime
> FROM Orders AS o
> JOIN Shipments AS s
> ON o.orderId = s.orderId
> AND o.rowtime BETWEEN s.rowtime AND s.rowtime + INTERVAL '1' HOUR;
> {code}
> The following restrictions should initially apply:
> * The join hint only support inner join
> * The ON clause should include equi-join condition
> * The time-condition {{o.rowtime BETWEEN s.rowtime AND s.rowtime + INTERVAL
> '1' HOUR}} only can use rowtime that is a system attribute, the time
> condition only support bounded time range like {{o.rowtime BETWEEN s.rowtime
> - INTERVAL '1' HOUR AND s.rowtime + INTERVAL '1' HOUR}}, not support
> unbounded like {{o.rowtime < s.rowtime}} , and should include both two
> stream's rowtime attribute, {{o.rowtime between rowtime () and rowtime () +
> 1}} should also not be supported.
> An row-time streams join will not be able to handle late data, because this
> would mean in insert a row into a sorted order shift all other computations.
> This would be too expensive to maintain. Therefore, we will throw an error if
> a user tries to use an row-time stream join with late data handling.
> This issue includes:
> * Design of the DataStream operator to deal with stream join
> * Translation from Calcite's RelNode representation (LogicalJoin).
