Description

The current TaxiRide events have two timestamps – the startTime and endTime. Which timestamp applies to a given event depends on the value of the isStart field. This is awkward, and unnecessary. It would be better to have a single eventTime field. This will make the exercises better examples, and allow for more straightforward conversion from DataStream to Table.
