----------------------------------------
{quote}would you want to epoch-align it like the window boundaries, or actually
pull in a cron-like scheduling library?

I guess this would be part of the KIP discussion. Not a clear idea atm. Just
created the ticket for tracking :)
> Improve wall-clock time punctuations

> Key: KAFKA-7699
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7699
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
> Priority: Major

> Currently, wall-clock time punctuation allow to schedule periodic call backs
> based on wall-clock time progress. The punctuation time starts, when the
> punctuation is scheduled, thus, it's non-deterministic what is desired for
> many use cases (I want a call-back in 5 minutes from "now").
> It would be a nice improvement, to allow users to "anchor" wall-clock
> punctation, too, similar to a cron job: Thus, a punctuation would be
> triggered at "fixed" times like the beginning of the next hour, independent
> when the punctuation was registered.
