Re: Watermark won't advance in ProcessFunction

It seems to be the case. But when I use timeWindow or CEP with fromCollection, it works well. For example,

```

sEnv.fromCollection(Seq[Long](1, 1002, 2002, 3002)).assignAscendingTimestamps(identity[Long])

    .keyBy(_ % 2).timeWindow(Time.seconds(1)).sum(0).print()

```

prints

```

1

1002

2002

3002

```

How can I implement my KeyedProcessFunction so that it would work as expected.

Hi,

It generates watermark periodically by default in the underlying implementation of `assignAscendingTimestamps`. So for your test program, the watermark is still not generated yet and I think that's the reason why it's Long.MinValue.

I'm going to sort elements in a PriorityQueue and set up timers at (currentWatermark + 1), following the instructions in https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.9/dev/stream/operators/process_function.html#timer-coalescing.

However, it seems that context.timerService().currentWatermark() always returns Long.MinValue and my onTimer will never be called. Here's minimal program to reproduce the problem. Am I missing something?

```

val sEnv = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment

sEnv.setStreamTimeCharacteristic(TimeCharacteristic.EventTime)

sEnv.setParallelism(argOps.parallelism())

sEnv.fromCollection(Seq[Long](1, 2, 3)).assignAscendingTimestamps(identity[Long])

    .process(new ProcessFunction[Long, Long] {

      override def processElement(i: Long, context: ProcessFunction[Long, Long]#Context, collector: Collector[Long]): Unit = {

        collector.collect(context.timerService().currentWatermark())

      }

    }).print()

sEnv.execute()

```
