Description

Reason to ask:

Due to IoT(Internet of Things) scenario, lot of chance the data will arrive with unknown delay. We need put data to right timestamp which is data collected from device rather than the time data arrives.

Question:

Usually the InputSession.insert will use the same timestamp which been advanced by advacne_to function. As restriction of the timely dataflow, we not allow advance to previous timestamp. I'd like to know how to handle such case in differential dataflow.

Thanks lot.

Research direction

Start by reading the InputSession.insert and advance_to behavior in the differential-dataflow and timely-dataflow documentation or source. Determine how late-arriving device timestamps are expected to be represented under timely dataflow's timestamp restrictions, then document the supported approach and its limitations.
