---------------------------------------
Summary: Remove ContinuousEventTimeTrigger
Key: FLINK-5061
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5061
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Streaming
Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek
Fix For: 1.2.0
The Trigger does not do what people think it does. The problem is that a
watermark T signals that we won't see elements with timestamp < T in the
future. It does not signal that we have not yet seen elements with timestamp >
T. So it cannot really be used to trigger at different stages of processing an
event-time window.
