Fabian Hueske created FLINK-7337: ------------------------------------ Summary: Refactor handling of time indicator attributes Key: FLINK-7337 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-7337 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Table API & SQL Affects Versions: 1.4.0 Reporter: Fabian Hueske Assignee: Fabian Hueske
After a [discussion on the dev mailing list|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/735d55f9022df8ff73566a9f1553e14be94f8443986ad46559b35869@%3Cdev.flink.apache.org%3E] I propose the following changes to the current handling of time indicator attributes: * Remove the separation of logical and physical row type. ** Hold the event-time timestamp as regular Long field in Row ** Represent the processing-time indicator type as a null-valued field in Row (1 bit overhead) * Remove materialization of event-time timestamps because timestamp is already accessible in Row. * Add {{ProcessFunction}} to set timestamp into the timestamp field of a {{StreamRecord}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
