It seems like we all agree at this point (please correct me if wrong!) that we should NOT change the existing repartitioning behavior, ie we should allow Streams to continue to determine when and where to repartition -- *unless* explicitly informed to by the use of a .through or the new .repartition operator.
Regarding groupBy, the existing behavior we should not disrupt is a) repartition *only* when required due to upstream key-changing operation (ie don't force repartitioning based on the presence of an optional config parameter), and b) allow optimization of required repartitions, if any Within the constraint of not breaking the existing behavior, this still leaves open the question of whether we want to improve the user experience by allowing to provide groupBy with a *suggestion* for numPartitions (or to put it more fairly, whether that *will* improve the experience). I agree with many of the arguments outlined above but let me just push back on this one issue one final time, and if we can't come to a consensus then I am happy to drop it for now so that the KIP can proceed. Specifically, my proposal would be to simply augment Grouped with an optional numPartitions, understood to indicate the user's desired number of partitions *if Streams decides to repartition due to that groupBy* > if a user cares about the number of partition, the user wants to enforce a repartitioning First, I think we should take a step back and examine this claim. I agree 100% that *if this is true,* *then we should not give groupBy an optional numPartitions.* As far as I see it, there's no argument to be had there if we *presuppose that claim.* But I'm not convinced in that as an axiom of the user experience and think we should be examining that claim itself, not the consequences of it. To give a simple example, let's say some new user is trying out Streams and wants to just play around with it to see if it might be worth looking into. They want to just write up a simple app and test it out on the data in some existing topics they have with a large number of partitions, and a lot of data. They're just messing around, trying new topologies and don't want to go through each new one step by step to determine if (or where) a repartition might be required. They also don't want to force a repartition if it turns out to not be required, so they'd like to avoid the nice new .repartition operator they saw. But given the huge number of input partitions, they'd like to rest assured that if a repartition does end up being required somewhere during dev, it will not be created with the same huge number of partitions that their input topic has -- so they just pass groupBy a small numPartitions suggestion. I know that's a bit of a contrived example but I think it does highlight how and when this might be a considerable quality of life improvement, in particular for new users to Streams and/or during the dev cycle. *You don't want to* *force a repartition if it wasn't necessary, but you don't want to create a topic with a huge partition count either.* Also, while the optimization discussion took us down an interesting but ultimately more distracting road, it's worth pointing out that it is clearly a major win to have as few repartition topics/steps as possible. Given that we don't want to change existing behavior, the optimization framework can only help out when the placement of repartition steps is flexible, which means only those from .groupBy (and not .repartition). *Users should not* *have to choose between allowing Streams to optimize the repartition placement, and allowing to specify a * *number of partitions.* Lastly, I have what may be a stupid question but for my own edification of how groupBy works: if you do a .groupBy and a repartition is NOT required, does it ever need to serialize/deserialize any of the data? In other words, if you pass a key/value serde to groupBy and it doesn't trigger a repartition, is the serde(s) just ignored and thus more like a suggestion than a requirement? So again, I don't want to hold up this KIP forever but I feel we've spent some time getting slightly off track (although certainly into very interesting discussions) yet never really addressed or questioned the basic premise: *could a user want to specify a number of partitions but not enforce a repartition (at that* *specific point in the topology)?* On Fri, Nov 15, 2019 at 12:18 AM Matthias J.
