Class EventTimeExtension

  • @Experimental
public class EventTimeExtension
extends Object
    The entry point for the event-time extension, which provides the following functionality:
    • defines the event-time watermark and idle status watermark. If you use the EventTimeWatermarkGeneratorBuilder below, then you don't need to declare these watermarks manually in your application; otherwise you need to declare them in your own ProcessFunction.
    • provides the EventTimeWatermarkGeneratorBuilder to facilitate the generation of event time watermarks. An example of using EventTimeWatermarkGeneratorBuilder is as follows: 
      
 OneInputStreamProcessFunction<POJO, POJO> watermarkGeneratorProcessFunction
       = EventTimeExtension
       .newWatermarkGeneratorBuilder(POJO::getEventTime)
       .periodicWatermark()
       .buildAsProcessFunction();
 source.process(watermarkGeneratorProcessFunction)
       .process(...)
    • provides a tool to encapsulate a user-defined EventTimeProcessFunction to provide the relevant components of the event-time extension. 
      
 stream.process(
          EventTimeExtension.wrapProcessFunction(
              new CustomEventTimeProcessFunction()
          )
       )
       .process(...)
