Thanks for the KIP. Great follow up to KIP-1271.


Nit: The `DSL_STORE_TYPE_DOC` should be `private` and I also think we can improve the wording -- but that's more of am impl detail, not really critical for the KIP itself.

How about:

"Controls the state store type used by the DSL store supplier (see config 'dsl.store.suppliers.class'). 'default' uses timestamped stores. 'headers' uses the headers-aware stores."



MJS1: Should we deprecate the existing `DslKeyValueParams(final String name, final boolean isTimestamped)` constructor, and make the newly introduced "type" a mandatory parameter? (Cf MJS2 below)



MJS2: Should we add new enum `DslStoreType` with DEFAULT and HEADERS value, and change the constructor

from
- DslKeyValueParams(final String name, final boolean isTimestamped, final boolean isHeadersEnabled)

to
  - DslKeyValueParams(final String name, final DslStoreType storeType)

This would more align to the newly added String config (and the KIP calls out that we did not want to add a boolean config, what makes sense to me), and would subsume the existing `isTimestamped` parameter on the existing constructor which we could remove (Cf MJS1)

[We have a similar thing for `group.protocol` config.]


If yes, wondering if we should also deprecate `isTimestamped()` and not add `headersEnabled()` but instead add `storeType()` getter?

Similar for window/session Dsl*Parameter classes.

Hi all,

I’d like to start a discussion on a new KIP, KIP-1285: DSL Opt-in Support
for Header-Aware State Stores.

KIP-1271 introduced headers-aware state stores in Kafka Streams. KIP-1285
proposes adding corresponding DSL-level opt-in support, so that DSL
applications can take advantage of these headers-aware stores while keeping
existing applications and topologies unchanged by default.

You can find the KIP here:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1285%3A+DSL+Opt-in+Support+for+Header-Aware+State+Stores

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Alieh
