Hi Enric, It basically means the prioritized buffers can bypass all non-prioritized buffers at the input gate and get processed first. You may refer to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-19026 for more details where it is firstly introduced.

Thanks. /** Same as EVENT_BUFFER, but the event has been prioritized (e.g. it skipped buffers). */ PRIORITIZED_EVENT_BUFFER(false, true, false, true, false, false),
