Hi,

if I understand it correctly, the issue there was, that the OnTimerContext.timestamp() is currently used for two things:

 a) it tell the caller what timestamp it actually is

 b) it is used as event element timestamp when element is output from OnTimer method

That implies, that it cannot be easily changed to processing time, because the timestamp of elements output from such method would have wrong timestamp. Mayabe it would be better to add OnTimerContext.processingTimestamp() instead?

Hi,
  I bumped into the same issue as in BEAM-5265 [1], where I can't test Timer with TimeDomain.PROCESSING_TIME. Jozef tried to fix it, but the PR [2] got forgotten. Are there any concerns how it would behave on different runners or it just only waited for reviewer feedback?

Just in case here is my minimal example to reproduce [3]:
- set element timestamp 1970-01-01T00:00:01.000Z
- set timer.offset(TEN_SECONDS).setRelative();
- advanceProcessingTime for 20 seconds
- onTimer method is called where: |OnTimerContext||context.timestamp()=|-290308-12-21T19:59:05.225Z I would expect |context.timestamp() |to be around 1970-01-01T00:00:11.000Z
