Description

As discussion in mailing list here the community reaches a consensus that we will use Java's Duration for representing "time interval" instead of use Flink's Time for it.

Specifically, Flink has two Time classes, which are

org.apache.flink.api.common.time.Time
org.apache.flink.streaming.api.windowing.time.Time

the latter has been already deprecated and superseded by the former. Now we want to also deprecated the former and drop it in 2.0.0(we don't drop it just now because it is part of @Public interfaces).
