JIRA: KAFKA-15347 

...

  • we propose a public class MultiVersionedKeyQuery., MultiVersionedKeyQuery
  • and a public enum ResultOrder
  • Moreover, the public interface ValueIteratorVersionedRecordIterator is added to iterate over different values that are returned from a single-key query (each value corresponds to a timestamp). 
  • In addition, a new method is added to the VersionedKeyValueStore interface to support single-key_multi-timestamp queries.
  • Finally, a field called validTo is added to the VersionedRecord class to enable us representing tombstones as well. 

...

To be able to list the tombstones, the validTo filed Optional field is added to the VersionedRecord class. The default value of validTo is positive infinity is Optional.empty() which means the record is still valid.

MultiVersionedKeyQuery class

  • The methods are composable. The fromTime(Instant fromTime) and toTime(Instant toTime) methods specify the time range.
    • If a user applies the same time limit multiple times such as MultiVersionedKeyQuery.withKey(k).fromTime(t1).fromTime(t2), then the last one wins (it will be translated to MultiVersionedKeyQuery.withKey(k).fromTime(t2)).

    • Defining a query with time range (empty, t1] will be translated into [0, t1] (calling only the toTime(t1) method).
    • Defining a query with time range [t1, empty) will be translated into [t1, MAX) (calling only the fromTime(t1) method).
    • A query with no specified time range will be translated into [0, MAX). It means that the query will return all the versions of the records with specified key.
  • As explained in the javadocs, the query returns all valid records within the specified time range.
    • The fromTime specifies the starting point. There can be records which have been inserted before the fromTime and are valid in the time range. For example, if the record (k,v) has been inserted at time=0, it will be returned by the multi versioned key queries with key=k and fromTime>=0. Obviously, if the record (k,v) becomes tombstone at time=2, then the multi versioned key queries with key=k and fromTime>=2 will not return it any more. In this case, the multi versioned key queries with key=k and fromTime<2 will return the record (k,v) validTo=2.
    • The toTime specifies the ending point. Records that have been inserted at toTime are returned by the query as well.
  • The order of the returned records is by default ascending by timestamp. The method withDescendingTimestamps() can reverse the order. Btw, withAscendingTimestamps() method can be used for code readability purposeNo ordering is guaranteed for the results, but the results can be sorted by timestamp (in ascending or descending order) by calling the corresponding defined methods (withAscendingTimestamps() and withDescendingTimestamps() respectively)
