Gerard Garcia commented on FLINK-7731: -------------------------------------- I tried that but it still doesn't work. I have been doing some debugging and it seems to me that the timer never gets triggered. It may be that what is happening is that the {{onProcessingTime}} callback is only triggered when there are contents in the window state (all code snippets are from version 1.3.2): org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.operators.windowing.WindowOperator#onProcessingTime() {code:java} ACC contents = null; if (windowState != null) { contents = windowState.get(); } if (contents != null) { TriggerResult triggerResult = triggerContext.onProcessingTime(timer.getTimestamp()); if (triggerResult.isFire()) { emitWindowContents(triggerContext.window, contents); } if (triggerResult.isPurge()) { windowState.clear(); } } {code} and that state is being cleared when the trigger result is type purge: org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.operators.windowing.WindowOperator#processElement() {code:java} TriggerResult triggerResult = triggerContext.onElement(element); if (triggerResult.isFire()) { ACC contents = windowState.get(); if (contents == null) { continue; } emitWindowContents(window, contents); } if (triggerResult.isPurge()) { windowState.clear(); } {code} > Trigger on GlobalWindow does not clean state completely > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-7731 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7731 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core, DataStream API > Affects Versions: 1.3.2 > Reporter: Gerard Garcia > Priority: Minor > > I have an operator that consists of: > CoGroup Datastream -> GlobalWindow -> CustomTrigger -> Apply function > The custom trigger fires and purges the elements after it has received the > expected number of elements (or when a timeout fires) from one of the streams > and the apply function merges the elements with the ones received from the > other stream. It appears that the state of the operator grows continuously so > it seems it never gets completely cleaned. > There is a discussion in > http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/Clean-GlobalWidnow-state-td15613.html > that suggests that it may be a bug. > This job reproduces the issue: > https://github.com/GerardGarcia/flink-global-window-growing-state -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
