Hi, I am trying to have a trigger fires every 5 mins, even when sometimes no event comes (just output default for empty window). The closest solution I got to work is this:
datastream.windowAll(GlobalWindows.create()) .trigger(ContinuousProcessingTimeTrigger.of(Time.minutes(5))) .apply { MY_APPLY_FUNCTION} For master branch, this works after the first event appears, then it continuously fires every 5 mins even when there is no events (not work for release 1.0.3 though due to the change in ContinuousProcessingTimeTrigger). However, sometimes my first event may not appear in the first 5 mins. I still need to fire a default value first, but it seems the GlobalWindow is only created after seen an event, so it only works after the first event. Is there any way I can create the window before the first event comes in windowAssigner?
