/**
* The allowed lateness for elements. This is used for:
- * <li> Deciding if an element should be dropped from a window due to
lateness. </li>
- * <li> Clearing the state of a window if the system time passes
- * the {@code window.maxTimestamp + allowedLateness} landmark. </li>

Ah, I meant something like this:
```
<ul>
<li> item 1
<li> item2
</ul>
the javadoc syntax is almost similar to HTML, just the closing `</li>` tags
are missing.
> Add Support for "Allowed Lateness"
> ----------------------------------

> Key: FLINK-3714
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3714
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Streaming
> Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek

> As mentioned in
> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xp-YBf87vLTduYSivgqWVEMjYUmkA-hyb4muX3KRl08/edit#
> we should add support for an allowed lateness setting.
> This includes several things:
> - API for setting allowed lateness
> - Dropping of late elements
> - Garbage collection of windows state/timers
> Depending on whether the {{WindowAssigner}} assigns windows based on event
> time or processing time we have to adjust the GC behavior. For event-time
> windows "allowed lateness" makes sense and we should garbage collect after
> this expires. For processing-time windows "allowed lateness" does not make
> sense and we should always GC window state/timers at the end timestamp of a
> processing-time window. I think that we need a method for this on
> {{WindowAssigner}} that allows to differentiate between event-time windows
> and processing-time windows: {{boolean WindowAssigner.isEventTime()}}.
