Time at which the record was ingested into the stream. > Time at which the record was generated upstream This would be event time and it is possible that the event time is used as the record timestamps (this is possible in Kafka by allowing record to use producer's timestamp). However, from Pinot's point of view, we only care about how soon a record became available for consumption. > In other words, in Pinot, if I write an expression (System.currentTimeMillis() - getRecordTimeStampMs()) what do you expect this value to signify (independent of any underlying stream, of course)? I want this expression `System.currentTimeMillis() - getRecordTimestampMs()` to indicate the message availability for consumption since the time it became available in source. It should _tend towards 0_ when the consumer is fully caught up the upstream data -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
