    Introduction to Timely Stream Processing and Notions of Time

    • Timely stream processing involves time in the computation, particularly in time series analysis, window-based aggregations, and event processing.
    • Different notions of time can be used in streaming programs, such as processing time and event time.
    • Processing time refers to the system time of the machine executing the operation and has no coordination between streams and machines.
    • Event time is the time an individual event occurred on its producing device, and it depends on the data, not on wall clocks.
    • Event time programs must generate Event Time Watermarks, which signal progress in event time.
    • Event time processing can yield consistent and deterministic results, but incurs latency while waiting for out-of-order events.
    • An hourly event time window will contain all records that carry an event timestamp that falls into that hour, regardless of the order in which they arrive or are processed.
    • Live event time processing may use processing time operations to ensure timely progress.
    • A stream processor supporting event time needs a way to measure the progress of event time, such as a window operator that builds hourly windows.
    • Event time can progress independently of processing time, and can either trail slightly behind or fast-forward through historic data buffered in a message queue.
    • Flink implements many techniques from the Dataflow Model for event time and watermarks.
    • Understanding the notions of time in timely stream processing is crucial for building efficient and accurate streaming applications.
