Hi Kostas, I ended up setting my currentMaxTimestamp = Math.max(timestamp, currentMaxTimestamp); to currentMaxTimestamp = Math.min(timestamp, currentMaxTimestamp);
and changing this : if(firstEventFlag && (currentTime - systemTimeSinceLastModification > 10000)){ systemTimeSinceLastModification = currentTime; currentMaxTimestamp = currentMaxTimestamp + 1000; //log.info("Current Max Time - {}, Last Modification Time - {}", currentMaxTimestamp, systemTimeSinceLastModification ); } to if(firstEventFlag && (currentTime - systemTimeSinceLastModification > 20000)){ systemTimeSinceLastModification = currentTime; currentMaxTimestamp = currentMaxTimestamp + 10000; } it is working fine now such that I have all the events ... with timeout and with matches. Although I am afraid, this might not be the best way to do things(I am still investigating what I can do and change) because this change from max to min can lead to changes in the watermark which is not just ascending but descending as well (that's what I think can happen when an event with lower timestamp than the current watermark arrives) .... and from whatever I have read so far, watermarks should always move forward.... I haven't had any such behaviour so far but if it happens what should I expect? My job blowing up or some undefined behaviour? Any inputs would be helpful.
