Jeyhun Karimov commented on KAFKA-3839: --------------------------------------- It seems that groupby operator is gone from KTable. Nevertheless, I checked its behaviour with null keys: KTable<Long, String> source = builder.table(longSerde, stringSerde, "topic1"); KTable<String,Long> counts = source. groupBy(new KeyValueMapper<Long, String, KeyValue<String, String>>() { @Override public KeyValue<String, String> apply(Long key, String value) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return KeyValue.pair(null, value); } },Serdes.String(), Serdes.String()).count("count"); counts.to(stringSerde,longSerde,"topic2"); If I run this code, no exception/error is got and nothing is outputted to topic (as expected). I check the class KTableRepartitionMap.KTableMapProcessor and I think the required null checks are there in process() method. > Handling null keys in KTable.groupBy > ------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-3839 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3839 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: streams > Reporter: Guozhang Wang > Assignee: Jeyhun Karimov > Labels: architecture, newbie > > This is first reported by [~jeff.klu...@gmail.com]. > Similarly as we handle null keys in KStream join and aggregations in > KAFKA-3561 (https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/1472), for KTable.groupBy > operators we should also gracefully handle null keys by filter them out since > they will not be participating in the aggregation. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
