Fabian Hueske commented on FLINK-12305:
---------------------------------------
Thanks for reporting this issue [~WizardOfZot].
Proper support for late arriving data has not been added to the Table API / SQL
yet.
The comment was meant to highlight what is possible with event-time support in
general, but I certainly see that it is misleading in this context.
I agree that we should rephrase this part.
Thanks,
Fabian

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12305
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Project Website
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Alex Barnes
> Priority: Minor
>
> It is not clear from the documentation if late arriving data is correctly
> handled in the Flink Table/SQL APIs. The documentation makes passing
> reference to recognizing late arriving data, but does not go into depth as to
> what kind of triggering/processing can be performed on it
> [https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.8/dev/table/streaming/time_attributes.html#event-time]
> This old email thread on the apache-flink-users mailing list tells a
> different story - specifically that late arriving data is not supported and
> DataStream APIs need to be used instead:
> [http://osdir.com/apache-flink-users/msg08110.html]
> Has support been added since that email correspondence? Please consider
> reducing ambiguity in the documentation and update it to better reflect the
> current/planned state of support for late arriving data in the Table API.
> Thanks,
> Alex
