Jan Filipiak edited comment on KAFKA-3705 at 7/27/16 11:24 AM: --------------------------------------------------------------- Something that starts happening to us is that for low cardinality columns on the join, the prefix scan on the rocks can return a big amount of values. That leads to to much time spent between poll() and us loosing group membership. One could check the need for a poll() on the consumer while context.forward() maybe, as we do context.forward() for every row that comes from the prefix scan. The fix with setting session time-out very high, that we are currently using is not that good IMO was (Author: jfilipiak): Something that starts happening to us is that for low cardinality columns on the join, the prefix scan on the rocks can return a big amount of values.

If users > want to join a KTable A by key {{a}} with another KTable B by key {{b}} but > with a "foreign key" {{a}}, and assuming they are read from two topics which > are partitioned on {{a}} and {{b}} respectively, they need to do the > following pattern: > {code} > tableB' = tableB.groupBy(/* select on field "a" */).agg(...); // now tableB' > is partitioned on "a" > tableA.join(tableB', joiner); > {code} > Even if these two tables are read from two topics which are already > partitioned on {{a}}, users still need to do the pre-aggregation in order to > make the two joining streams to be on the same key. This is a draw-back from > programability and we should fix it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
