delay one of the datastream when performing join operation on event-time and watermark

[Rakesh Kumar]

Hi,

I have two data sources one is  for order data and another one is for invoice data, these two data i am pushing into kafka topic in json form. I wanted to delay order data for 5 mins because invoice data comes only after order data is generated. So, for that i have written a flink program which will take these two data from kafka and apply watermarks and delay order data for 5 mins. After applying watermarks on these data, i wanted to join these data based on order_id which is present in both order and invoice data. After Joining i wanted to push it to kafka in different topic.

But, i am not able to join these data streams with 5 min delay and i am not able to figure it out.

I am attaching my flink program below and it's dependency.

Hi Pakesh Kuma,
I think you can using the interval-join, e.g.:

orderStream
    .keyBy(<KeySelector>)
    .intervalJoin(invoiceStream.keyBy(<KeySelector>))
    .between(Time.minutes(-5), Time.minutes(5))

The semantics of interval-join and detailed usage description can refer to
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.7/dev/stream/operators/joining.html#interval-join

Hope to help you, and any feedback is welcome!

Bests,
Jincheng
