---------------------------------
Hi [~liyu], I'm wondering when this feature will be finished? It's really
useful and necessary in some cases.
> [State TTL] Event time support
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-12005
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12005
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: API / DataStream, Runtime / State Backends
> Reporter: Andrey Zagrebin
> Assignee: Yu Li
> Priority: Major
>
> The event time is opted for in StateTtlConfig by setting
> TtlTimeCharacteristic.EventTime.
> To enable event time support, the updated watermark needs to be passed to the
> state backend, shared with TTL state wrappers and additional cleanup
> strategies (snapshot transformers and compaction filter).
> h3. Event time provider
> Additional implementation of TtlTimeProvider, which holds current watermark,
> needs to be passed to the state backend at the moment of its creation in
> StreamTaskStateInitializerImpl. There several ways to update watermark in
> this implementation of TtlTimeProvider:
> * in InternalTimeServiceManager.advanceWatermark explicitly
> * InternalTimeServiceManager/InternalTimerServiceImpl could be refactored to
> use shared EventTimeService which holds current updatable watermark and
> wrapped by TtlTimeProvider
> The TTL state wrapping factory should create TTL state wrappers and snapshot
> transformers with TtlTimeProvider selected by TtlTimeCharacteristic.
> h3. RocksDB TTL compaction filter
> The RocksDB TTL compaction filter factory needs to get selected
> TtlTimeProvider when it gets configured. There are two ways:
> * make it volatile and settable in
> RocksDbTtlCompactFiltersManager.TimeProviderWrapper, track it in
> RocksDbTtlCompactFiltersManager along with FlinkCompactionFilterFactory to
> configure later before configuring FlinkCompactionFilterFactory.
> * Move FlinkCompactionFilter.TimeProvider from FlinkCompactionFilterFactory
> to ConfigHolder and set selected TtlTimeProvider with the Config.
> The second option does not use volatile variable and should be more
> performant but needs changing RocksDB java client and either releasing new
> version FRocksDB or Flink RocksDB extensions.
