-----------------------------------
Component/s: API / DataStream
> Add Remove Other Timers to TimerService
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-14057
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-14057
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API / DataStream
> Reporter: Jesse Anderson
> Priority: Major
>
> The TimerService service has the ability to add timers with
> registerProcessingTimeTimer. This method can be called many times and have
> different timer times.
> If you want to add a new timer and delete other timers, you have to keep
> track of all previous timer times and call deleteProcessingTimeTimer for each
> time. This method forces you to keep track of all previous (unexpired) timers
> for a key.
> Instead, I suggest overloading registerProcessingTimeTimer with a second
> boolean argument that will remove all previous timers and set the new timer.
> Note: although I'm using registerProcessingTimeTimer, this applies to
> registerEventTimeTimer as well.
