As discussed [here|https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/6787#discussion_r249056249], we need a dedicated phase to materialize time indicators for nodes produce updates. Details: Currently, we materialize time indicators in `RelTimeInidicatorConverter`. We need to introduce another materialize phase that materializes all time attributes on nodes that produce updates. We can not do it inside `RelTimeInidicatorConverter`, because only later, after physical optimization phase, we know whether it is a non-window outer join which will produce updates There are a few other things we need to consider. - Whether we can unify the two converter phase. - Take window with early fire into consideration(not been implemented yet). In this case, we don't need to materialize time indicators even it produces updates. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
