outer joins
URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/6874#issuecomment-431232789
Hi @florianschmidt1994 , thanks for working on this!
Before looking into the code, I'd like to share two thoughts.
1. I think there's no need to register a clean-up timer for each record. In
[TimeBoundedJoin](https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-libraries/flink-table/src/main/scala/org/apache/flink/table/runtime/join/TimeBoundedStreamJoin.scala),
only the first timer is registered in the `processElement()` method and
following timers are registered in a "chained manner" after each cleaning-up.
2. Without holding back watermarks, the join results in the downstream
operators may be taken as outdated (according to the different mechanisms for
rowtime propagation), which makes the join operation less applicable. What do
you think?
Best, Xingcan
