As the [example](https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/24748#discussion_r1596141360 ) you mentioned, "out of order" can't describe the scenario that watermark1 executes after record 0-3. If there is a better way to describe "out of order", I am happy to change it. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
