             Summary: Utilize Hierarchical Timing Wheels for performant timer
                 Key: FLINK-6359

Gyula Fóra mentioned that timer deletion becomes performance bottleneck due to the usage of priority queue.

Benjamin has an implementation for Hierarchical Timing Wheels (Apache License) :

https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine/blob/master/caffeine/src/main/java/com/github/benmanes/caffeine/cache/TimerWheel.java
{code}
 * A hierarchical timer wheel to add, remove, and fire expiration events in amortized O(1) time. The
 * expiration events are deferred until the timer is advanced, which is performed as part of the
 * cache's maintenance cycle.
{code}
We should consider porting the above over to facilitate performant timer.
