My flink application generates output (complex) events based on the processing of (simple) input events. The generated output events are to be consumed by other external services. My application works using event-time semantics, so I am bit in doubt regarding what should I use as the output events' timestamp.
Should I use: - the processing time at the moment of generating them? - the event time (given by the watermark value)? - both? For my use case, I am using both for now. But maybe you can come up with examples/justifications for each of the given options. -- Sent from: http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/
