> The Trigger does not do what people think it does. The problem is that a
> watermark T signals that we won't see elements with timestamp < T in the
> future. It does not signal that we have not yet seen elements with timestamp
> > T. So it cannot really be used to trigger at different stages of processing
> an event-time window.
