> Hi,
> when using {{TimeCharacteristics.ProcessingTime}} a ClassCastException is thrown in {{StreamRecordSerializer}} when {{WindowOperator.processWatermark()}} is called from {{WindowOperator.trigger()}}, i.e. whenever a ProcessingTimeTimer is triggered. 
> The problem seems to be that {{processWatermark()}} is also called in {{trigger()}}, when time characteristic is ProcessingTime, but in {{RecordWriterOutput}} {{enableWatermarkMultiplexing}} is {{false}} and the {{TypeSerializer}} is a {{StreamRecordSerializer}}, which ultimately leads to the ClassCastException. Do you agree?
> If this is indeed a bug, there several possible solutions.
> # Only calling {{processWatermark()}} in {{trigger()}}, when TimeCharacteristic is EventTime
> # Not calling {{processWatermark()}} in {{trigger()}} at all, instead wait for the next watermark to trigger the EventTimeTimers with a timestamp behind the current watermark. This is, of course, a trade off. 
> # Using {{MultiplexingStreamRecordSerializer}} all the time, but I have no idea what the side effect of this change would be. I assume there is a reason for existence of the StreamRecordSerializer ;)
