-----------------------------------

             Summary: Table API Clarification
                 Key: FLINK-12305
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-12305
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Project Website
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Alex Barnes


It is not clear from the documentation if late arriving data is correctly handled in the Flink Table/SQL APIs. The documentation makes passing reference to recognizing late arriving data, but does not go into depth as to what kind of triggering/processing can be performed on it 

[https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.8/dev/table/streaming/time_attributes.html#event-time]

This old email thread on the apache-flink-users mailing list tells a different story - specifically that late arriving data is not supported and DataStream APIs need to be used instead:

[http://osdir.com/apache-flink-users/msg08110.html]

Has support been added since that email correspondence? Please consider reducing ambiguity in the documentation and update it to better reflect the current/planned state of support for late arriving data in the Table API.

Thanks,
Alex
