             Summary: User state GC depends on order of timer firing
                 Key: BEAM-1674
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-1674
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: runner-flink
    Affects Versions: 0.5.0
            Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
            Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 0.6.0


The newly added {{ParDoTest.testEventTimeTimerMultipleKeys()}} fails because 
the {{DoFn}} sets a timer for {{window.maxTimestamp()}} which also happens to 
be the GC timer for the user state. The Flink Runner uses timers to schedule 
GC, the user-set timer and the GC timer have a different timer id, so they 
don't clash. However, if the GC timer is being processed before the user timer 
then the user doesn't have a chance to access the state anymore because it will 
already be cleared out by the time the user timer is being processed.
