Hi Yun!
Thanks for the quick reply.
One of the lowerBounds is large but the table being joined with is ~500
rows. I also have my own operator that only outputs the first value.
public class OnlyFirstUser<T extends GeneratedMessageV3> extends
RichFlatMapFunction<T, T> {
private transient ValueState<Boolean> alreadyOutputted;
@Override
public void flatMap(T value, Collector<T> out) throws Exception {
if (!alreadyOutputted.value()) {
alreadyOutputted.update(true);
out.collect(value);
}
}
@Override
public void open(Configuration config) {
ValueStateDescriptor<Boolean> descriptor =
new ValueStateDescriptor<>(
"alreadyOutputted", // the state name
TypeInformation.of(new TypeHint<Boolean>() {}), //
type information
false); // default value of the state, if nothing
was set
alreadyOutputted = getRuntimeContext().getState(descriptor);
}
}
All of my inputs have this watermark strategy. In the Flink UI, early in
the job run, I see "Low Watermarks" on each node and they increase. After
some checkpoint failures, low watermarks stop appearing in the UI

.
.assignTimestampsAndWatermarks(
WatermarkStrategy.<GeneratedMessageV3>forBoundedOutOfOrderness(Duration.ofSeconds(1)).withIdleness(Duration.ofMinutes(1)));
Thanks Yun!
