--------------------------------------
Hi [~Yuhong_kyo],
a join does not give any guarantees about the order of its result.
If your algorithm returns sorted data, that's of course fine.
I also agree with dropping late data.
We'll extend this later to support late data (up to a certain time) as well,
but this requires support for retractions (FLINK-6047).
> Support rowtime inner equi-join between two streams in the SQL API

> Key: FLINK-6233
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6233
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Reporter: hongyuhong
> Assignee: hongyuhong
>
> The goal of this issue is to add support for inner equi-join on proc time
> streams to the SQL interface.
> Queries similar to the following should be supported:
> {code}
> SELECT o.rowtime , o.productId, o.orderId, s.rowtime AS shipTime
> FROM Orders AS o
> JOIN Shipments AS s
> ON o.orderId = s.orderId
> AND o.rowtime BETWEEN s.rowtime AND s.rowtime + INTERVAL '1' HOUR;
> {code}
> The following restrictions should initially apply:
> * The join hint only support inner join
> * The ON clause should include equi-join condition
> * The time-condition {{o.rowtime BETWEEN s.rowtime AND s.rowtime + INTERVAL
> '1' HOUR}} only can use rowtime that is a system attribute, the time
> condition only support bounded time range like {{o.rowtime BETWEEN s.rowtime
> - INTERVAL '1' HOUR AND s.rowtime + INTERVAL '1' HOUR}}, not support
> unbounded like {{o.rowtime < s.rowtime}} , and should include both two
> stream's rowtime attribute, {{o.rowtime between rowtime () and rowtime () +
> 1}} should also not be supported.
> An row-time streams join will not be able to handle late data, because this
> would mean in insert a row into a sorted order shift all other computations.
> This would be too expensive to maintain. Therefore, we will throw an error if
> a user tries to use an row-time stream join with late data handling.
> This issue includes:
> * Design of the DataStream operator to deal with stream join
> * Translation from Calcite's RelNode representation (LogicalJoin).
