kennknowles opened a new issue, #19505: URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/19505
The following was raised on [Stackoverflow]([https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55875832/how-to-cancel-unset-a-dofn-defined-timer)]: Having read [Timely (and Stateful) Processing with Apache Beam](https://beam.apache.org/blog/2017/08/28/timely-processing.html) and looked at the JavaDoc for a [Timer](https://beam.apache.org/releases/javadoc/2.12.0/org/apache/beam/sdk/state/Timer.html), I have successfully setup a timer to be fired. However, I am missing how to request that a timer be cancelled before it has fired. Is this a semantic that is possible / allowable in Beam architecture? My back-story is that I wish to register a timer to fire a callback if something has not occurred ... but if it HAS occurred prior to the timer firing, then I wish to cancel the timer from being fired.
