I think you are all right. I have I checked the source code of WatermarkAssignerOperator, and I have found  the WatermarkGenerator  passed in  WatermarkAssignerOperator  is  the  interface WatermarkGenerator. And BoundedOutOfOrderWatermarkGenerator  is the only implementation class of WatermarkGenerator. By the way , the interval  is based processing time .

WatermarkAssignerOperator is an inner mechanism for generating watermarks.

The "Bounded Out of Orderness" is just one kind of the watermark expressions, which 

is most commonly used.

The main logic of WatermarkAssignerOperator is:

- keep currentWatermark and lastWatermark

- when each element comes in

  - get watermark from this element, using the watermark expression 

  - if the watermark > currentWatermark, then currentWatermark is updated

  - if currentWatermark - lastWatermark > watermarkInterval

    - emit watermark to downstream, and update lastWatermark

Maybe you are all right. I was  more confused  .

As the cwiki said, flink could use BoundedOutOfOrderTimestamps , 

but I have heard about WatermarkAssignerOperator from Blink developers.

Hi lec ssmi,

It's a good question. In blink planner, we use code gen to handle watermark expression.

And in `WatermarkAssignerOperator` we calculate current watermark when each element comes in.

If the watermark - lastEmitedWatermark > watermark interval, we will emit the new watermark.

So it's neither `PeriodicWatermark` nor `PunctuatedWatermark`.

Hi:

   In sql API , the declaration of watermark is realized by ddl statement . But which way is it implemented?

   PeriodicWatermark   or   PunctuatedWatermark？

  There seems to be  no explanation on the official website.

   

  Thanks.
