Aljoscha Krettek commented on FLINK-3674:
-----------------------------------------

The main reason was not wanting to expose to much because it's not yet clear to me what would be a good interface for users. You're right, though, that we could add a {{cancel()}} method. The side reason was that deleting timers can be very expensive and users might not be aware of it and therefore write slow programs.

> I suggest to add an interface that UDFs can implement, which will let them be notified upon watermark updates.
> Example usage:
> {code}
> public interface EventTimeFunction {
>     void onWatermark(Watermark watermark);
> }
> public class MyMapper implements MapFunction<String, String>, EventTimeFunction {
>     private long currentEventTime = Long.MIN_VALUE;
>     public String map(String value) {
>         return value + " @ " + currentEventTime;
>     }
>     public void onWatermark(Watermark watermark) {
>         currentEventTime = watermark.getTimestamp();
>     }
> }
> {code}
