Hi Till, I used Flink version 1.0.0 and tried all three TimeCharacteristics. Not I tried the new Flink 1.0.1 that gives me the following error. After detecting an event it processes a few stream tuples but then crashes. I'm not sure how to solve that part of the error message: "This can indicate that the element belonging to the previous relation has been already pruned, even though you expect it to be still there"
