Name: pipeline.force-timestamp-support
Type: Boolean
Default value: true
Description: Whether to force the support for record timestamps. If false, record timestamps would be discarded during serialization for improved performance when watermarks and latency tracking are disabledthis is false, automatic watermark(pipeline.auto-watermark-interval) and latency tracking(metrics.latency.interval) is disabled, and the job only uses Flink's built-in watermark generators that is guaranteed to never emit watermark, then Flink will optimize the runtime per-record overhead (e.g. serialization) that is otherwise needed to handle timestamp and watermark.
Note that this configuration would be introduced with a @Deprecated
annotation. See migration plan section below for reason and details.
