Injected out-of-order events reach the correct windows without duplicate feature records under replay. This is evidence for a different corrective change: Build an event-time-aware streaming pipeline using Dataflow with watermarks, lateness handling, and idempotent writes. That other change addresses: A mobile events platform receives late, out-of-order user events but runs a daily file-only ETL that misses required real-time features. It does not validate the specific Mercury Travel Tech remediation for: A small exploratory tabular dataset is routed through a complex distributed cluster that takes longer to initialize than the analysis itself. The necessary check instead is: The notebook processes the complete sample within memory limits and reproduces the same cleaned output without cluster startup overhead.
