Draft PR: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5257

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

Motivation

The WindowBytesStore interface provides a method to get the number of segments in the store so that the WindowStoreBuilder can use the information to wrap the store in a cache. The problem is that the cache needs to know the segment interval, not the segment count.

This KIP proposes to replace the current method with one providing the correct information.

Further, at this point, it seems that most applications will either want to accept the default segment interval (which is scaled to the retention period), or to select a specific size. In support of this, I propose to replace the "segments" nomenclature in Windows with "segmentInterval" as well.

Proposed Public Interface Change

In WindowBytesStoreSupplier, we will:

  • deprecate int segments()
  • add long segmentInterval()


/**
 * The number of segments the store has. If your store is segmented then this should be the number of segments
 * in the underlying store.
 * It is also used to reduce the amount of data that is scanned when caching is enabled.
 *
 * @return number of segments
 * @deprecated since 2.1. Use {@link WindowBytesStoreSupplier#segmentInterval()} instead.
 */
@Deprecated
int segments();

/**
 * The size of the segments (in milliseconds) the store has.
 * If your store is segmented then this should be the size of segments in the underlying store.
 * It is also used to reduce the amount of data that is scanned when caching is enabled.
 *
 * @return size of the segments (in milliseconds)
 */
long segmentInterval();


In Windows, we will:

  • deprecate segments field (it was unintentionally made public before)
  • add a public segmentInterval() method
  • deprecate segments(int)
+    @Deprecated public int segments = 3;

+    /**
+     * Return the segment interval in milliseconds.
+     *
+     * @return the segment interval
+     */
+    public long segmentInterval();

     /**
      * Set the number of segments to be used for rolling the window store.
      * This function is not exposed to users but can be called by developers that extend this class.
+     *
+     * Note: previously, this would bound the total number of segments in the store, but as of 2.1, it is used solely to determine the segment size. The actual number of segments is a function of how many future events are in flight.
      *
      * @param segments the number of segments to be used
      * @return itself
      * @throws IllegalArgumentException if specified segments is small than 2
+     * @deprecated since 2.1 Override segmentInterval() instead.
      */
+    @Deprecated
     protected Windows<W> segments(final int segments) throws IllegalArgumentException;




In Stores, we will:

  • deprecate persistentWindowStore() that takes numSegments
  • add persistentWindowStore() that takes segmentInterval
  • add persistentWindowStore() that doesn't parameterize segments

      * @param numSegments           number of db segments (cannot be zero or negative).

      * @param windowSize            size of the windows (cannot be negative)
      * @param retainDuplicates      whether or not to retain duplicates.
      * @return an instance of {@link WindowBytesStoreSupplier}

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

The change in this KIP is backward compatible as it only deprecates the existing method.
