/**
* This is a special window assigner used to tell the system to use the
* <i>"Fast Aligned Processing Time Window Operator"</i> for windowing.
*
* <p>Prior Flink versions used that operator automatically for simple processing time
* windows (tumbling and sliding) when no custom trigger and no evictor was specified.
* In the current Flink version, that operator is only used when programs explicitly
* specify this window assigner. This is only intended for special cases where programs relied on
* the better performance of the fast aligned window operator, and are willing to accept the lack
* of support for various features as indicated below:
*
* <ul>
* <li>No custom state backend can be selected, the operator always stores data on the Java heap.</li>
* <li>The operator does not support key groups, meaning it cannot change the parallelism.</li>
* <li>Future versions of Flink may not be able to resume from checkpoints/savepoints taken by this
* operator.</li>
* </ul>
*
* <p>Future implementation plans: We plan to add some of the optimizations used by this operator to
* the general window operator, so that future versions of Flink will not have the performance/functionality
* trade-off any more.
*
* <p>Note on implementation: The concrete operator instantiated by this assigner is either the
* {@link org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.operators.windowing.AggregatingProcessingTimeWindowOperator}
* or {@link org.apache.flink.streaming.runtime.operators.windowing.AccumulatingProcessingTimeWindowOperator}.
