That change "In the same partition" must explain what we are seeing. Unless you 
see one message per partition, all windows will not expire. That is an 
interesting twist. Thanks for the correction ( I will go back and confirm this.

    Sure, the record cache attempts to save downstream operators from
    unnecessary updates by also buffering for a short amount of time
    before forwarding. It forwards results whenever the cache fills up or
    whenever there is a commit. If you're happy to wait at least "commit
    interval" amount of time for updates, then you don't need to do
    anything, but if you're on the edge of your seat, waiting for these
    results, you can set cache.max.bytes.buffering to 0 to disable the
    record cache entirely. Note that this would hurt throughput in
    general, though.
    
    Just a slight modification:
    * a new record with new timestamp > (all the previous timestamps +
    grace period) will cause all the old windows *in the same partition*
    to close
    * yes, expiry of the window depends only on the event time
    
    Hope this helps!

windows are expiring rather randomly as new messages are being processed. . We 
tested with new key for every new message. We waited for the window time before 
replaying new messages. Sometimes a new message would come in and create state. 
It takes several messages to make some of the old windows to be closed (go past 
suppress to the next stage). We have also seen where one of them never closed 
even but several other older ones expired.  Then we explicitly sent a message 
with the same old key and then it showed up. Also, for every new message, only 
one of the previous window expires even though there are several pending.

version in DSL mode. Any clues on what we could be missing ? Why isn't there an 
order in the way windows are closed ? As event time progresses by the new 
messages arriving, the older ones should expire. Is that right understanding or 
not ?

see some state being created at some point in time. Now there is no new data 
for a day or two. We send new data but the old window of data (where we see the 
state being created) is not closing i.e not seeing it go through suppress and 
on to the next stage. It is as though the state created earlier was purged. Is 
this possible ?
