Class AscendingTimestampExtractor<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - The type of the elements that this function can extract timestamps from
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, org.apache.flink.api.common.eventtime.TimestampAssigner<T>, org.apache.flink.api.common.functions.Function, AssignerWithPeriodicWatermarks<T>, TimestampAssigner<T>
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    AscendingTimestampExtractor

    @Deprecated
    @PublicEvolving
    public abstract class AscendingTimestampExtractor<T>
    extends Object
    implements AssignerWithPeriodicWatermarks<T>
    Deprecated.
    A timestamp assigner and watermark generator for streams where timestamps are monotonously ascending. In this case, the local watermarks for the streams are easy to generate, because they strictly follow the timestamps.

      • extractAscendingTimestamp

        public abstract long extractAscendingTimestamp​(T element)
        Deprecated.
        Extracts the timestamp from the given element. The timestamp must be monotonically increasing.
        Parameters:
        element - The element that the timestamp is extracted from.
        Returns:
        The new timestamp.
      • extractTimestamp

        public final long extractTimestamp​(T element,
                                           long elementPrevTimestamp)
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: TimestampAssigner
        Assigns a timestamp to an element, in milliseconds since the Epoch.

        The method is passed the previously assigned timestamp of the element. That previous timestamp may have been assigned from a previous assigner, by ingestion time. If the element did not carry a timestamp before, this value is Long.MIN_VALUE.

        Specified by:
        extractTimestamp in interface org.apache.flink.api.common.eventtime.TimestampAssigner<T>
        Specified by:
        extractTimestamp in interface TimestampAssigner<T>
        Parameters:
        element - The element that the timestamp will be assigned to.
        elementPrevTimestamp - The previous internal timestamp of the element, or a negative value, if no timestamp has been assigned yet.
        Returns:
        The new timestamp.
      • getCurrentWatermark

        public final Watermark getCurrentWatermark()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: AssignerWithPeriodicWatermarks
        Returns the current watermark. This method is periodically called by the system to retrieve the current watermark. The method may return null to indicate that no new Watermark is available.

        The returned watermark will be emitted only if it is non-null and its timestamp is larger than that of the previously emitted watermark (to preserve the contract of ascending watermarks). If the current watermark is still identical to the previous one, no progress in event time has happened since the previous call to this method. If a null value is returned, or the timestamp of the returned watermark is smaller than that of the last emitted one, then no new watermark will be generated.

        The interval in which this method is called and Watermarks are generated depends on ExecutionConfig.getAutoWatermarkInterval().

        Specified by:
        getCurrentWatermark in interface AssignerWithPeriodicWatermarks<T>
        Returns:
        Null, if no watermark should be emitted, or the next watermark to emit.
