Hi, As Xingcan responded, you could use already built in operator for that.
If you really want to implement something on your own (need custom feature? For fun?), you would have to implement some variation of a InternalTimerService from Flink (you can browse the code for an inspiration). On each processed element you have to keep updating state of your in memory/in state windows with timestamps marking when they should be triggered. Then on each processed watermark in your operator you need to trigger/fire windows matching to the processed watermark.
