Hi Fabian, How do I order by the merge time. Let's say I merge the stream at T1. I wanted to drop T2 merge if T2 < T1. Now depending on the arrival of data from individual stream and the time at which the merge happens, they become out of order. Any thoughts will be really appreciated.

Does it mean that the operator will wait until get two watermarks from the input streams and emits then the “slower” watermark?

Afterwards they are treated the same. An operator with two input streams will always sync its own watermarks to the watermarks of both input streams, i.e., to the "slower" watermark of both inputs. So if the left input says it is 12:14 and the right says it is 11:53, the operator will have a internal time of 11:53 and emit watermarks according to that time.
