Current state: Under Discussion

Discussion thread: here [Change the link from the KIP proposal email archive to your own email thread]

JIRA: KAFKA-5651 

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

Motivation

As the Kafka Streams DSL has evolved, some of the APIs have become very overload heavy. For example, we have 8 different overloads for KStream#print. As we add more overloads it becomes harder for a developer using a modern IDE to discover the interfaces hence interrupting the flow and becoming an API usability issue.

Further, we'd like to provide users with a way to override certain StateStore features on a per operator basis, for example, enable caching or logging, for some but not all StateStores. Without a change in approach to the DSL this would add yet more overloads for every operation. Additionally, it should be simple to use the KafkaStreams Caching and Logging wrappers with custom StateStores. 

Before we go and add many more overloaded methods it is worth while exploring other options to see if we can provide a more concise and intuitive API.

Public Interfaces

New methods added to existing interfaces:

KStream
void print(final Printed<K, V> printed);

KStream<K, V> through(final String topic, final Partitioned<K, V> partitioned);

void to(final String topic, final Partitioned<V, V> partitioned);

<KR> KGroupedStream<KR, V> groupBy(final KeyValueMapper<? super K, ? super V, KR> selector, Serialized<KR, V> serialized);

<VO, VR> KStream<K, VR> join(final KStream<K, VO> other, final ValueJoiner<? super V, ? super VO, ? extends VR> joiner, final JoinWindows windows, final Joined<K, V, VO> options);

                            final ValueJoiner<? super V, ? super VO, ? extends VR> joiner,
                            final Materialized<K, VR, KeyValueStore<K, VR>> materialized);

                                 final Materialized<K, VR, KeyValueStore<K, VR>> materialized);

 

We add some new helper methods to Stores so people can conveniently and quickly create basic StateStoreSuppliers for use in the DSL or PAPI. We will also deprecate the existing Stores.create(...)

Proposed Changes

Add the above methods, interfaces, classes to the DSL. Deprecate the existing overloads.

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

  • What impact (if any) will there be on existing users?
    • None - we will deprecate the existing methods so that existing users can continue until they decide to change

Rejected Alternatives

  • Using a more fluent api:  this approach always results in intermediate stages that require a final build or apply call to create the underlying KStream/KTable etc. We felt that this wasn't quite right.
  • Builder for all a params: Rather than specifying the required params and optional params separately we could make each method take a Builder that has all of the params. It was felt that this is a but onerous for users that just want to use the required params and don't care about the options
  • No labels
