method meaning of class Trigger

[Soheil Pourbafrani <so...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

In extending class Trigger we have methods like onElement, onProcessingTime
and onEventTime. I know the method onElement will be called when a element
is added to the window, but I have no idea about when two other methods
onProcessingTime and onEventTime will be called?

Hi Soheil,

Flink support many kinds of time window. The "onXXXTime" interface method
would be triggered based on the time characteristic you chose, you should
read the documentation that Chesnay provided and this documentation :
https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/dev/event_time.html#event-time--processing-time--ingestion-time

Thanks, Vino
