[jira] [Created] (FLINK-3429) Add histogram-based
timestamp/watermark extractor
Robert Metzger created FLINK-3429:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Add histogram-based timestamp/watermark extractor
Key: FLINK-3429
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3429
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Streaming
Reporter: Robert Metzger
While FLINK-3428 provides a static low watermark generator, we should also provide a watermark extractor which periodically takes samples of the event-time distribution in a data stream into a histogram.
>From that histogram, users can specify that watermarks should cover a certain percentile of the data.
For example a user might want watermarks to rise when 90% of the events have been seen. With the periodic update of the histogram, the extractor can react to network latencies and other issues causing late, out-of-order arrivals.
