Chesnay Schepler updated FLINK-8054: ------------------------------------ Description: We currently have 2 {{Time}} classes in Flink, {{org.apache.flink.api.common.time.Time}} in flink-core and {{org.apache.flink.streaming.api.windowing.time.Time}} in flink-streaming-java. These classes are effectively identical (the one in flink-core is serializable and has a toString implementation), I suggest to merge them. The streaming Time class is part of the Streaming API so this would be a breaking change. We could also investigate whether the java 8 {{Duration}} class fulfills our needs. was: We currently have 2 {{Time}} classes in Flink, {{org.apache.flink.api.common.time.Time}} in flink-core and {{org.apache.flink.streaming.api.windowing.time.Time}} in flink-streaming-java.
