> This is not a real bug but it causes some weird behaviour, at least in my opinion.
> The TimeWindows has a method called windowsFor() that uses and returns an HashMap:
>     @Override
>     *public* Map<Long, TimeWindow> windowsFor(*final* *long* timestamp) {
>         *long* windowStart = (Math._max_(0, timestamp - sizeMs + advanceMs) / advanceMs) * advanceMs;
>         *final* Map<Long, TimeWindow> windows = *new* HashMap<>();
>         ....
> the HashMap does not preserve the order of insertion and this ends up later in calls to any streams windowed aggregation functions that are not ordered by window time as I would expect.
> A simple solution is to replace the HashMap with a LinkedHashMap and that's what I did.
> Anyway replacing it directly in your code can save hours of debugging to understand what's happening.
> Thank you
