Hi Radu, If I’m not mistaken, then it’s not possible with the current GlobalWindow implementation. However, you could extend the GlobalWindow which adds a new field into which the timestamp of the triggering element is stored. This field can then be read from within the WindowFunction to retrieve the latest timestamp.
