Question about EventTimeTrigger

[Jiawei Wu]

Hi,

I have a quick question about the "EventTimeTrigger". I notice it's based on TimeWindow instead of Window. Is there any reason why this cannot apply to GlobalWindow?

Thanks,

Jiawei

Hi,

Could you briefly describe what you are trying to achieve?

By definition, a GlobalWindow includes all data - the ending timestamp for
these windows are therefore Long.MAX_VALUE. An event time trigger wouldn't
make sense here, since that trigger would never fire (watermark can not pass
the end timestamp of a GlobalWindow).
