That is not fully correct. While in practice it may not matter, ignoring the timestamp of control messages may result in non-deterministic behavior, as during a restart the control message may be processed in a different order in relation to the other stream. So the output of multiple runs may

Sounds like a good idea. because in the control stream the time doesn't really matters. Thanks !!! On Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 11:13 AM David Anderson wrote: > Another solution to the watermarking issue is to write an > AssignerWithPeriodicWatermarks for the control stream that always returns >

Another solution to the watermarking issue is to write an AssignerWithPeriodicWatermarks for the control stream that always returns Watermark.MAX_WATERMARK as the current watermark. This produces watermarks for the control stream that will effectively be ignored. On Thu, Jan 3, 2019 at 9:18 PM

One thing you must be careful of, is that if you are using event time processing, assuming that the control stream will only receive messages sporadically, is that event time will stop moving forward in the operator joining the streams while the control stream is idle. You can get around this by

Hi Avi, you could use Flink's broadcast state pattern [1]. You would need to use the DataStream API but it allows you to have two streams (input and control stream) where the control stream is broadcasted to all sub tasks. So by ingesting messages into the control stream you can send model
