Users seem to get confused about how event time and watermarks work. We need to add documentation with two sections: 1.

Ways that users can generate watermarks - EventTimeSourceFunctions - AscendingTimestampExtractor - TimestampExtractor general case -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
