Something strange happened today. When we tried to shutdown a job with a savepoint, the watermarks became equal to 2^63 - 1.
This caused timers to fire indefinitely and crash downstream systems with overloaded untrue data. We are using event time processing with Kafka as our source. It seems impossible for a watermark to be that large. I know its possible stream with a batch execution mode. But this was stream processing. What can cause this? Is this normal behavior when creating a savepoint?
