                 Key: FLINK-5061
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-5061
             Project: Flink

          Components: Streaming
            Reporter: Aljoscha Krettek
            Assignee: Aljoscha Krettek
             Fix For: 1.2.0


The Trigger does not do what people think it does. The problem is that a watermark T signals that we won't see elements with timestamp < T in the future. It does not signal that we have not yet seen elements with timestamp > T. So it cannot really be used to trigger at different stages of processing an event-time window.
