    Hi @fhueske, it takes me a little time to rethink these conditions. As you 
said, it's really quite easy to get confused 😄 
    
    In general, I'm in favour of your suggestions. Besides, I've got some extra 
ideas. 
    1. About storing a record in state. Only if `oppositeOperatorTime < 
oppositeQualifedUpperBound`, can a record be stored. For example, suppose 
there's a record from the left stream with `time = 10` and qualified time range 
of the right stream is calculated to be `[8, 15]`. Then only if the 
`rightOperatorTime < 15`, need we cache the left record. Otherwise, it means 
all the qualified records from the right stream should have been seen.
    2. We need two conditions here, but the "lateness condition" should be 
applied out of the "storing condition", i.e., we first check the lateness of a 
record and only if it passes can we continue processing it (checking if it 
should be stored, etc.). That's because even if there exist records from the 
opposite stream that can be joined with a late record, we can not guarantee the 
**completeness** of the results. In the above example, if `rightOperatorTime = 
16`, the left record with `time = 10` will not be stored. After that, here 
comes a right record with `time = 15`, but we can never join it with the left 
record just seen before since it is not stored.
    
    "Incomplete" or "empty", which one to choose?
