Hi,
an important concept of the Flink API is that transformations do not modify the 
original stream (or dataset) but return a new stream with the modifications in 
place. In your example the result of the extractTimestamps() call should be 
used for further processing. I attached your source code with the required 
modifications.

Other than that, I think you understood the watermarks quite well. :D

Let us know if you need more information.

Cheers,
Aljoscha
