Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-4282:
-----------------------------------------
The {{WindowAssigner}} should not try to shift the timestamp around or do
anything fancy. Specifying a timezone should just be another way of specifying
where hours start with respect to UTC. (I brought this up just because there
are some "exotic" time zones that are not shifted by exact hours compared to
UTC.)

> Currently, windows are always aligned to EPOCH, which basically means days
> are aligned with GMT. This is somewhat problematic for people living in
> different timezones.
> And offset parameter would allow to adapt the window assigner to the timezone.
