[jira] [Created] (FLINK-6947) Warn on

Petr Novotnik created FLINK-6947:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Warn on 
                 Key: FLINK-6947
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6947
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: DataStream API
    Affects Versions: 1.2.1, 1.3.0
            Reporter: Petr Novotnik
            Priority: Minor


Placing timestamp assignment (and watermark generation) directly or indirectly after a union is generally not desirable as it may lead to surprising results at the client side. Ideally, timestamp assignment (and watermark generation) is best placed as close as possible to the data sources.  It would be nice to generate a warning to the user (i.e. to the log) before job execution if the framework detects timestamp assignment (directly or indirectly placed) after a union.

Some more background information for this issue can be found in this email thread: http://apache-flink-user-mailing-list-archive.2336050.n4.nabble.com/union-followed-by-timestamp-assignment-watermark-generation-td13036.html
