Matthias created FLINK-21931:
--------------------------------
Summary: Watermark documentation needs to be fixed
Key: FLINK-21931
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-21931
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation, Runtime / Checkpointing
Reporter: Matthias
There's a [ML
thread|http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/pipeline-auto-watermark-interval-vs-setAutoWatermarkInterval-td41891.html]
about inconsistencies in the Watermark documentation. The description provided
by the docs about setting {{pipeline.auto-watermark-interval}} to {{0}} does
not match the actual implementation and the description provided in the
JavaDocs of
[ExecutionConfig.setAutoWatermarkInterval|https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/api/java/org/apache/flink/api/common/ExecutionConfig.html#setAutoWatermarkInterval-long-].
I went through the code verifying that the functionality described by the
JavaDoc is correct. Setting the parameter to {{0}} disables the automatic
watermark generation. The docs need to be updated accordingly.
