public interface WatermarkEstimator<WatermarkEstimatorStateT>

A WatermarkEstimator which is used for estimating output watermarks of a splittable DoFn. See WatermarkEstimators for commonly used watermark estimators.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Instant	currentWatermark()	Return estimated output watermark.
WatermarkEstimatorStateT	getState()	Get current state of the WatermarkEstimator instance, which can be used to recreate the WatermarkEstimator when processing the restriction.

Method Details

currentWatermark

Instant currentWatermark()

Return estimated output watermark. This method must return monotonically increasing watermarks across instances that are constructed from prior state.

getState

WatermarkEstimatorStateT getState()

Get current state of the WatermarkEstimator instance, which can be used to recreate the WatermarkEstimator when processing the restriction. See DoFn.NewWatermarkEstimator for additional details.

The internal state of the estimator must not be mutated by this method.

The state returned must not be mutated.
