What is odd about this problem is that:

  • We would expect the timer set to 100 to fire when the watermark advances to 100 - but instead, it fires together with the timer set to 1000 when the watermark advances to infinity.

On the other hand, if we set advance_watermark_to(101), the test behaves properly without any need for modifications.

BUT, what's even more odd is that when doing the actual check in trigger.py as to whether the timer should be fired, we do check for <=. Strange.:
https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/python/apache_beam/transforms/trigger.py#L1273

Nonetheless, this change does fix the new test (which was previously failing) - and I believe it does correct the behavior. So. Yes.

I'll keep hunting for bugs.

Is it possible to check whether emit_values fired or not at all?
