Discussion thread[DISCUSS] KIP-120: Cleanup Kafka Streams builder API

JIRA: KAFKA-3856

Released: 1.0.11.0

Please keep the discussion on the mailing list rather than commenting on the wiki (wiki discussions get unwieldy fast).

...

  • org.apache.kafka.streams.Topology
  • org.apache.kafka.streams.StreamsTopologyBuilderStreamsBuilder

Furthermore, we add a new class interface to get a full description the a topology (to compensate for some internal methods that get removed)

  • org.apache.kafka.streams.TopologyDescription

    • TopologyDescription will have public subclassesinterfaces:

      • Subtopology
      • GlobalStores
      • Node
       (interface)
      • Source
      • Sink
      • Processor

The following methods will not be available in the newly added classes:

  • TopologyBuilder -> Topology: setApplicationId, connectSourceStoreAndTopicconnectProcessorsaddInternalTopiccopartitionSources, nodeGroups, build, buildGlobalStateTopology, globalStateStores, topicGroups, earliestResetTopicPattern, latestResetTopicPattern, stateStoreNamesToSourceTopics, copartitioneGroups, sourceTopicPattern, updateSubscriptions
  • KStreamBuilder -> StreamsTopologyBuilderStreamsBuilder: all methods from TopologyBuilder (as KStreamBuilder does not inherit from TopologyBuilder anymore) except addStateStore and addGlobalStore (which are both added explicitly to StreamsTopologyBuilder StreamsBuilder) plus newName
  • methods highlighted in TopologyBuilder list, are methods that actually belong to DSL abstraction

Proposed Changes

We will add two new internal classes

  • org.apache.kafka.streams.processor.internals.InternalTopologyBuilder
  • org.apache.kafka.streams.kstream.internals.InternalStreamsTopologyBuilder InternalStreamsBuilder 

that offer the methods remove from current API. Thus, both classes are the actual implementation. Old  TopologyBuilder and KStreamBuilder are only proxy classes to both classes respectively, for backward compatibility.

The newly added Topology uses InternalTopologyBuilder as member.

The newly added StreamsTopologyBuilder StreamsBuilder uses the new Topology as a member (no class hierarchy anymore – using it as member gives a clear separation between PAPI and DSL).

Because the new StreamsTopologyBuilder StreamsBuilder does not inherit from new Topology we need to add StreamsTopologyBuilder#buildStreamsBuilder#build() that returns the actual Topology to be passed into KafkaStreams client.

...

Tests need to be rewritten but no new tests are required. All tests for public API need to be updated to use new Topology and StreamsTopologyBuilderStreamsBuilder. All tests using internal API, need to be rewritten to use InternalTopologyBuilder and InternalStreamsTopologyBuilderInternalStreamsBuilder.

Rejected Alternatives

None.
