Thanks! > Improve wall-clock time punctuations > ------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-7699 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7699 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: streams > Reporter: Matthias J. Sax > Priority: Major > Labels: needs-kip > > Currently, wall-clock time punctuation allow to schedule periodic call backs > based on wall-clock time progress. The punctuation time starts, when the > punctuation is scheduled, thus, it's non-deterministic what is desired for > many use cases (I want a call-back in 5 minutes from "now"). > It would be a nice improvement, to allow users to "anchor" wall-clock > punctation, too, similar to a cron job: Thus, a punctuation would be > triggered at "fixed" times like the beginning of the next hour, independent > when the punctuation was registered. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
