Sorry for multiple message with same subject as I had to register with different email address. To follow up on the thread, can someone explain to me why the tuples with same timestamp are sometimes sent in two different time windows? And also why sending an extra 5th tuple is required before storm invokes execute method? Do I need to set a different value for tumbling window duration or lag? Thank you for your help in advance Sandeep
