Hi,

I have a question regarding timing of events.

According to;
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.3/dev/event_time.html#event-time-and-watermarks

All events up to and equal to watermark should be handled in "the prevoius
window".

In my case I use event-timestamp.


I'm testing the timing out.

The case is events from 2000-01-01 02:00:00 and up to 2000-01-01 02:20:00
where eavh event is 2 minutes apart. I try to group the events in 5 minute
windows

2000-01-01 02:00:00 => 2000-01-01 02:05:00
2000-01-01 02:05:00 => 2000-01-01 02:10:00
2000-01-01 02:10:00 => 2000-01-01 02:15:00
2000-01-01 02:15:00 => 2000-01-01 02:20:00

How ever, events at the exakt time 02:10:00 (946692600000) is put in the
Window "2000-01-01 02:10:00 => 2000-01-01 02:15:00" which is not according
to what i can read on the wiki.

This is the exakt result;
2000-01-01 02:00:00, 946692000000
2000-01-01 02:02:00, 946692120000
2000-01-01 02:04:00, 946692240000

2000-01-01 02:06:00, 946692360000
2000-01-01 02:08:00, 946692480000

2000-01-01 02:10:00, 946692600000
2000-01-01 02:12:00, 946692720000
2000-01-01 02:14:00, 946692840000

2000-01-01 02:16:00, 946692960000
2000-01-01 02:18:00, 946693080000

2000-01-01 02:20:00, 946693200000

Is this due to that I'm using event time extractor or what might be the
case?

Regards
Björn
