Nico Kruber updated FLINK-24008: -------------------------------- Description: In a join of two tables where we join on unique columns, e.g. from primary keys, we could clean up join state more pro-actively since we now whether future joins with this row are still possible (assuming uniqueness of that key). While this may not solve all issues of growing state in non-time-based joins it may still considerably reduce state size, depending on the involved columns. This would add one more way of expiring state that the operator stores; currently there are only these * time-based joins, e.g. interval join * idle state retention via {{TableConfig#setIdleStateRetention()}} was: In a join of two tables where we join on unique columns, e.g. from primary keys, we could clean up join state more pro-actively since we now whether future joins with this row are still possible (assuming uniqueness of that key).
