------------------------------------

[~davies], thanks for the response. If I understand it correctly, this PR you 
pointed is to set a start time for window function. What about non-window 
function, do we also have a way to specify the start time ?



> Config the start time (jitter) for streaming jobs

> Currently, RecurringTimer will normalize the start time. For instance, if 
> batch duration is 1 min, all the job will start exactly at 1 min boundary. 
> This actually adds some burden to the streaming source. Assuming the source 
> is Kafka, and there is a list of streaming jobs with 1 min batch duration, 
> then at first few seconds of each min, high network traffic will be observed 
> in Kafka. This makes Kafka capacity planning tricky. 
> It will be great to have an option in the streaming context to set the job 
> start time. In this way, user can add a jitter for the start time for each, 
> and make Kafka fetch_request much smooth across the duration window.

>   def getStartTime(): Long = {
>     (math.floor(clock.currentTime.toDouble / period) + 1).toLong * period + 
> jitter
