   @aromanenko-dev I think I have the complete understanding. The condition in 
the assignment was wrong (don't have any clue how it was reasoned), the problem 
is that it was hidden, because until there was at least one call to `add` to 
the accumulator (which is nearly always the case), the timestamp was 
overwritten.
   
   The bug manifested itself under the following conditions:
    a) Combine.withHotKeyFanout, because that merges accumulators without any 
elements being added (in the postHotFanoutCombine phase)
    b) TimestampCombiner.EARLIEST, because that can create accumulator 
timestamps of `BoundedWindow.TIMESTAMP_MIN_VALUE`.
    
   Both conditions are satisfied in the case of query 3 in TPC-DS.
