Flink Version: 1.13.2 In the section on Default Triggers of Window Assigners the documentation States
By specifying a trigger using trigger() you are overwriting the default trigger of a WindowAssigner. For example, if you specify a CountTrigger for TumblingEventTimeWindows you will no longer get window firings based on the progress of time but only by count. While I find the example given to be true because the CountTrigger doesn't FIRE in OnEventTime the timers of the default trigger are still being registered. Is that accurate? So when writing a custom trigger against the default trigger of a window one still needs to handle those timers and decide to fire them or not. It may be just me, but the documentation gives the impression that nothing would happen if one specifies a custom trigger with .trigger(...). I'm I understanding what's going on in the code around timers, default and custom triggers correctly? If so it seems one solution to this would be to inherit from said WindowAssign and override the getDefaultTrigger method. -- Thanks, Aeden
