Watermarks
1. Watermarks
person: With windows, you decide where you put the message, but you now need to make another additional decision. When is the window going to meet the results? At the first glance, you may decide just to meet the results when the window closes. This is a very intuitive is you have a fixed window, but in other situations, like a session windows, it might not be so obvious. In addition to this, you will also receive late data. So you need to decide how to trigger output in the case of laded. But how would they define if they are windowing by Aventine, your messages will be within the boundaries of the window. How do you decide if a message is laid or that you have waited long enough for LAYTH data? This is where the concept of a watermark becomes useful. Let's focus on how windows work when there is no latency and no later data, in an ideal world, if there were no latency and everything was instantaneous, then these fixed windows would just flash at the close of the window at the very microsecond that the time it to begins, a one minute window terminates and flashes all the data. But this is only if there is no latency. But in the real world, in assuming pipelines, the order of our data will be altor. Even if you receive data in perfect order when it is processed in the pipeline, in a distributed system, different messages will take different processing times and that order will be lost. How can you decide that the window can be closed if the data is out of order? How can you be sure that no further and order messages will be received in estimated pipelines that are two dimensions of time? The relationship between the two defines what it is called the watermark. The watermark is the relationship between the processing timestamp and the event. DINNERSTEIN The processing timestamp is the moment the message arrives at the pipeline. Ideally, the both should be the same with no delays. However, this rarely happens. There are always delays, latencies and so on. Any message that arrives before the watermark is set to be Everleigh. This happens too, if it arrives right after the watermark is said to be on time and if it arrives later, then it is late to date. So the watermark is what defines whether a message to circulate the watermark can be calculated because it depends on messages we have not yet seen. So data flow estimates the watermark as the oldest is timestamp waiting to be processed. This estimation is continuously updated with every new message that is received. Now, why do you need to keep two dimensions of paint and a watermark definition? Let's see how watermarks help decide when a window is complete and you can proceed with your calculations. In a real war setting, data will always arrive with Stalactite, this lag time is the difference between when the data was suspected and when the data is actually arriving these days. On Friday, the expectation is what we call the watermark. They will keep track of the lack of every message and will try to predict the value of the watermark that they lack in the future. When the Dennis stamp of the last message is after or add the value of the watermark, then it means that the window can be considered complete. Any message received after this moment will be considered late. In this example, data one is late because it is arriving much later than when it was expected that it's arriving much later than the watermark. So data is only late when it compared to the watermark. It doesn't make sense to talk about later data unless we have a watermark. Data flow will wait until the watermark is trespass to close the window while it actually waits for some additional time as a form of buffer. But after that, the windows flash and the result is omitted. Any message coming after this moment will be considered late. You will need to make a decision about what to do with the data. The default behavior is to drop late date, but as you will see in the trigger section, you can choose to wait for data and limit results again if there are any later messages. When you run a stream pipeline in the floor, the jump into the flow contains some details about the watermark values. The data freshness metric is actually related to the watermark of your input data. When you are processing fresh data, the data value decreases when the wind is close and those messages will are considered now fully. Process data has not waited until it has been processed by the law. In these situations, the watermark will be close to real time. They the freshness is the difference between real time and the stamp of the oldest message waiting to be processed, the watermark is actually a tiny stamp of the message that has not been processed yet. So they the freshness is a measurement of how far the oldest messages is far from the current moment when you see a monotonically increase in value. It means that data has the weight of the input for more time waiting to start to be processed. There could be two reasons for the additional weight. It could be because the pipeline is busy processing messages, or it could be because the input has increased very quickly and data is accumulating at the input. Or it could be because of how can we distinguish between both situation for that system? Latency is a useful metric system. Latency measures the time it takes to fully process a message. This includes any weighting down in the input source. If for some reason the pipeline needs more time to process a message, then system latency will increase. For instance, because the pipeline is missing, processing a complex message. When seasonless latency keeps increasing and data freshness keeps increasing to it means that the pipeline cannot process more messages until it does not finish processing the current messages. You are not necessarily receiving a lot of more messages. The pipeline is just taking longer to process the current messages. But if Sistan latency remains constant or reduces and does not monotonically increase and data freshness value is monotonically increasing, that could be because there are many more messages at the input. For instance, we have received like a peek at the input the pipeline gives processing data at the same pace. So latency doesn't increase system latency. But unless data flow adds more workers to the pipeline, it will not be able to catch up with the input peak and the freshness increases. If you are running without the scaling in this situation, data flow will spin up more workers to process this additional data for the. So although we don't get actual watermark values from the floor with the freshness and Lattanzi metrics, we can written about the situation of our pipeline and diagnose if we are getting more input or if the pipeline is busy doing more calculations, dataflow itself uses these metrics to decide when to upscale or downscale to our data the amount of resource use to the actual demand of data processing. The ideal situation for a streaming pipeline is to have both a stable data freshness and then latency values if they have monotonically increases and latency doesn't increase that evidence that you're receiving more input data data flow will spin up new workers because of the size of the backlog. To be processed is increasing. If latency increases and data freshness is stable, then messages are taking more time in the pipeline to be processed. CPU usage will probably increase, so data flow will spin up new workers. But you may also see other situations that increase latency, but no super cheap usage. For instance, if you are accessing an external service or API and the service may be overloaded and taking a long time to respond to ship usage will not be high. But the latency will increase in that situation. Outas killing would not create more workers. They would be useless anyways to accelerate the pipeline in that situation. And if both metrics monotonically increase, then your backlog is increasing and your pipeline is also taking more time to process A16 messages. All those should create more workers to adapt to the increasing demand.2. Let's practice!
