> Bug PR: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/15381
> ElasticsearchIO is collecting results from elements in window X and then trying to output them in window Y when flushing the batch. This exposed a bug where elements that were being buffered were being output as part of a different window than what the window that produced them was.
> This became visible because validation was added recently to ensure that when the pipeline is processing elements in window X that output with a timestamp is valid for window X. Note that this validation only occurs in *@ProcessElement* since output is associated with the current window with the input element that is being processed.
> It is ok to do this in *@FinishBundle* since there is no existing windowing context and when you output that element is assigned to an appropriate window.
> *Further Context*
> We’ve bisected it to being introduced in 2.35.0, and I’m reasonably certain it’s this PR https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/15381
> Our scenario is pretty trivial, we read off Pubsub and write to Elastic in a streaming job, the config for the source and sink is respectively

> I’ve bisected it and 2.34 works fine, 2.35 is the first version this breaks, and it seems like the code in the trace is largely added by the PR linked above. The error usually claims a skew of a few seconds, but obviously I can’t override getAllowedTimestampSkew() on the internal Elastic DoFn, and it’s marked deprecated anyway.
> I’m happy to raise a JIRA but I’m not 100% sure what the code was intending to fix, and additionally, I’d also be happy if someone else can reproduce this or knows of similar reports. I feel like what we’re doing is not that uncommon a scenario, so I would have thought someone else would have hit this by now.
