Regarding to early firing, I think we are not on the same page and need to
discuss about what is early firing, how to configure it, how to implement it.
IMO, the early firing is to config an update rate of window. Such as an
one-hour window, but we want to see the result every minutes. So it is very
similar to
[FLINK-6649](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6649)(update rate for
non-windowed group), but this is a
update-rate/early-interval configuration on window group. If you agree with
that, then it is not a time offset of first result, because it can't describe
the rate.
Maybe we should move this discussion to the early firing issue FLINK-6961 ?
