Sophie Blee-Goldman resolved KAFKA-3596.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
> Kafka Streams: Window expiration needs to consider more than event time
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-3596
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3596
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: streams
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
> Reporter: Henry Cai
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: architecture
>
> Currently in Kafka Streams, the way the windows are expired in RocksDB is
> triggered by new event insertion. When a window is created at T0 with 10
> minutes retention, when we saw a new record coming with event timestamp T0 +
> 10 +1, we will expire that window (remove it) out of RocksDB.
> In the real world, it's very easy to see event coming with future timestamp
> (or out-of-order events coming with big time gaps between events), this way
> of retiring a window based on one event's event timestamp is dangerous. I
> think at least we need to consider both the event's event time and
> server/stream time elapse.
