      Refresh works only if it is scheduled in the refresh window set for the cluster, with default: 8:00 PM - 4:00 AM. Only the start time of the refresh window is configurable using the flag orion.materializationConfig.refreshWindowStartTime. This flag can have values like 12:00PM, 01:00AM, and so on. For example, to set the cluster window from 2:00 AM to 10:00 AM, set the flag to orion.materializationConfig.refreshWindowStartTime \"02:00AM\".
