Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-7785:
---------------------------------------
Ah, nice. Since there is no consistency requirement between watermarks for
different PCollections, if the bundle processing always caches a watermark
whenever it reads, would that be enough? And then the cache would GC when the
bundle finishes.
> DirectRunner: watermarks are updated asynchronously from bundle processing

> Watermarks are updated in QuiescenceDriver (by calling fireTimers, which
> calls forceRefresh()) on WatermarkManager. This results in creating timer
> bundles, that are then processed asynchronously as DirectTransformExecutor.
> Because of that, watermarks (input watermarks mostly) might be updated while
> bundle is being processed. That violates assumption, that bundle processing
> should be atomical (with identical external conditions during processing of
> whole bundle).
