I did some more testing. Below is a pseudo version of by setup.
kafkaconsumer-> assignTimestampsAndWatermarks(BoundedOutOfOrdernessTimestampExtractor)-> process(print1 ctx.timerService().currentWatermark()) -> keyBy(_.someProp) -> process(print2 ctx.timerService().currentWatermark()) -> I am manually sending monotonically increasing (eventtime ) records to kafka topic. What I see is in print1 I see expected watermark But print2 is always Long.MIN It looks like keyBy wipes out the watermark. Now, if I run the exact same code on a flink cluster, print2 outputs expected watermark.

What kind of source are you using? Best, Fabian 2018-08-15 4:25 GMT+02:00 vino yang <yanghua1...@gmail.com<mailto:yanghua1...@gmail.com>>: Hi Johe, In local mode, it should also work. When you debug, you can set a breakpoint in the getCurrentWatermark method to see if you can enter the method and if the behavior is what you expect. What is your source? If you post your code, it might be easier to locate. In addition, for positioning watermark, you can also refer to this email[1].

It just stays at Long.MIN I am using EventTime processing and have tried both these time extractors. • assignAscendingTimestamps ... • assignTimestampsAndWatermarks(BoundedOutOfOrdernessTimestampExtractor) ... Also, configured the environment as so env.setStreamTimeCharacteristic(TimeCharacteristic.EventTime) If I run the job on a flink cluster, I do see the watermark progress. Is watermarking not supported in local mode? Thanks Jo
