Hello Till, Yes elements do have a timestamp associated which is parsed in the first map function.
Yes, indeed if all timestamps lie within 1 hour the triggering will happen after the complete file has been read. I had wrong window size and sliding step for a dataset I was testing (I tested it in different datasets). Now, since I solved the non-triggering from the beginning, one problem remains in all my tests. Assume that I have a dataset of 50 hours of events/elements. The triggering happens as expected but now when it reaches the 6th hour it stops and do not continue (all parallel operators remain idle).
