Hi Youjun, The rowtime value in udf:EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM rowtime) is different from the rowtime value of window. Sql will be parsed and translated into some nodes, Source -> Calc -> Window -> Sink. The Calc is the input node of Window and the udf is part of Calc instead of Window. So the max_ts and min_ts is actually the time before entering the window, i.e, not the time in window.
However, I still can't find anything valuable to solve the problem. It seems the window has been triggered many times for the same key. I will think more about it. Best, Hequn.
