Herman Kolstad Jakobsen commented on KAFKA-7699:
------------------------------------------------
Working with real-time data from the power grid, this feature is really sought
for! Our use case is that data should be delivered at given intervals and at a
given time within that interval. For instance, data should be delivered every
10 seconds and at second 7 within that interval, e.g. 09:00:07, 09:00:17, etc.

> Currently, wall-clock time punctuation allow to schedule periodic call backs
> based on wall-clock time progress. The punctuation time starts, when the
> punctuation is scheduled, thus, it's non-deterministic what is desired for
> many use cases (I want a call-back in 5 minutes from "now").
> It would be a nice improvement, to allow users to "anchor" wall-clock
> punctation, too, similar to a cron job: Thus, a punctuation would be
> triggered at "fixed" times like the beginning of the next hour, independent
> when the punctuation was registered.
