-------------------------------
Summary: [Window]The first processWatermark() after Sliding Window
restore may have extra expired data.
Key: FLINK-36663

Project: Flink
Issue Type: Bug

The root cause is that the currentWatermark of TimerService is not restored
after restore.

This will cause problems when using the sliding window, such as hopping window.
Because when flushing WindowBuffer, it is necessary to determine whether the
current <key, slice_end> is expired. Here, the currentWatermark in the
TimerService is used, and the currentWatermark in the TimerService will only be
updated to the <currentWatermark saved in the window> when advance.
!image-2024-11-06-19-47-37-225.png!
This will cause that after restore and before the first advance, if
processElement(<key, slice_end> ), the slice_end has been triggered, but
because this slice is included in other untriggered windows, the data <key,
slice_end> will be written to the windowBuffer. (At this time, <the
currentWatermark in the window> is used to determine whether the data is
expired, and <the currentWatermark in the window> is restored):
!image-2024-11-06-19-50-35-362.png!
However, because <the currentWatermark in timeService> is used when
flushWindowBuffer, it is determined that the slice has not expired and the
timer is registered.
This will cause an expired slice_end to be registered, resulting in an expired
window being triggered and output extra data.
I have writen a UT to prove this problem:

Triggering restore will have different results. You can remove the restore part
in the red box and the test will pass.
use hopping window, window size = 3000, we have window range:[-1000,2000), [0,
3000]
processWatermark (currentWatermark = 2001)
processElement: the expired record <"key2", 1, fromEpochMillis(1500L)>
if no restore after processWatermark (currentWatermark = 2001):
the expired record will not output in window range [-1000,2000).
if restore after processWatermark (currentWatermark = 2001):
the expired record will not output in window range [-1000,2000).
Repair suggestions:
While restoring the window currentWatermark, restore the currentWatermark in
the timeService
