- Method Detail
  - emitWatermark
```
void emitWatermark(Watermark mark)
```
    Emits a Watermark from an operator. This watermark is broadcast to all downstream operators.
    A watermark specifies that no element with a timestamp lower or equal to the watermark timestamp will be emitted in the future.
  - emitWatermarkStatus
```
void emitWatermarkStatus(WatermarkStatus watermarkStatus)
```
  - collect
```
<X> void collect(org.apache.flink.util.OutputTag<X> outputTag,
                 StreamRecord<X> record)
```
    Emits a record to the side output identified by the given OutputTag.
    
    Parameters:
    
    record - The record to collect.
  - emitLatencyMarker
```
void emitLatencyMarker(LatencyMarker latencyMarker)
```
  - emitRecordAttributes
```
@Experimental
void emitRecordAttributes(RecordAttributes recordAttributes)
```
    Emits a RecordAttributes from an operator. This element is broadcast to all downstream operators.
  - emitWatermark
```
@Experimental
void emitWatermark(WatermarkEvent watermark)
```
    Emits a Watermark from an operator, wrapped in a WatermarkEvent.
