Hi Björn,
the behavior of borderlines is defined clearly by the API: "start
timestamp (inclusive) and an end timestamp (exclusive)". So it is always
[0-4] [5-9]. You could increase the interval by one millisecond to
include 5.

Hi Timo,
One more question regarding that to clarify.
Where do i specify in which window a event that arrives on the exact
window-borderline, window sizes [0-5] [5-10] and the event arrives at
exactly 5
Where should the event go and can i control this?
Regards
Björn

Hi Björn,
I don't know if I get your example correctly, but I think your
explanation "All events up to and equal to watermark should be
handled in the prevoius window" is not 100% correct. Watermarks just
indicate the progress ("until here we have seen all events with
lower timestamp than X") and trigger the evaluation of a window. The
assignment of events to windows is based on the timestamp not the
watermark. The documentation will be improved for the upcoming release:
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.4/dev/stream/operators/windows.html#window-assigners
<https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.4/dev/stream/operators/windows.html#window-assigners>
"Time-based windows have a start timestamp (inclusive) and an end
timestamp (exclusive) that together describe the size of the window. "
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Timo

Hi,
I have a question regarding timing of events.
According to;
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.3/dev/event_time.html#event-time-and-watermarks
<https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.3/dev/event_time.html#event-time-and-watermarks>
All events up to and equal to watermark should be handled in "the
prevoius window".
In my case I use event-timestamp.
I'm testing the timing out.
The case is events from 2000-01-01 02:00:00 and up to 2000-01-01
02:20:00 where eavh event is 2 minutes apart. I try to group the
events in 5 minute windows
2000-01-01 02:00:00 => 2000-01-01 02:05:00
2000-01-01 02:05:00 => 2000-01-01 02:10:00
2000-01-01 02:10:00 => 2000-01-01 02:15:00
2000-01-01 02:15:00 => 2000-01-01 02:20:00
How ever, events at the exakt time 02:10:00 (946692600000) is put
in the Window "2000-01-01 02:10:00 => 2000-01-01 02:15:00" which
is not according to what i can read on the wiki.
This is the exakt result;
2000-01-01 02:00:00, 946692000000
2000-01-01 02:02:00, 946692120000
2000-01-01 02:04:00, 946692240000
2000-01-01 02:06:00, 946692360000
2000-01-01 02:08:00, 946692480000
2000-01-01 02:10:00, 946692600000
2000-01-01 02:12:00, 946692720000
2000-01-01 02:14:00, 946692840000
2000-01-01 02:16:00, 946692960000
2000-01-01 02:18:00, 946693080000
2000-01-01 02:20:00, 946693200000
Is this due to that I'm using event time extractor or what might
be the case?

Björn
