Hi Si-li, couldn't you also add the timestamp as a state to the source? So the time would store the timestamp of the last emitted record. It's nearly identical to your solution but would fit the recovery model of Flink much better. If you want to go further back to account for the records that have been actually processed in the join, you could also replay the data from <last timestamp> - <some offset>.
