Sorry for my lack of response - I've been out of action with a bad back for a few days!
I originally had the `Materialized` overloads added to the API. I'll update the KIP / PR with these again. In terms of semantics, as Matthias suggests, these should be consistent with filter() and mapValues(), etc. On 8 May 2018 at 17:59, Guozhang Wang <wangg...@gmail.com> wrote: > To follow on Matthias and Damian's comments here: > > If we are going to add the overload functions as > > ``` > <VR> KTable<K, VR> transformValues(final ValueTransformerSupplier<? super > V, > ? extends VR> valueTransformerSupplier, > final String... stateStoreNames, > final Materialized<K, > VR, KeyValueStore<Bytes, byte[]> materialized); > > <VR> KTable<K, VR> transformValues(final ValueTransformerWithKeySupplier<? > super K, ? super V, ? extends VR> valueTransformerSupplier, > final String... stateStoreNames, > final Materialized<K, > VR, KeyValueStore<Bytes, byte[]> materialized); > ``` > > Then are we going to still only allow the valueTransofmer.init() / > process() to be able to access N stores, with N stores specified with the > stateStoreNames, but not the one specified in materialized.name()? > Personally I think it should be the case as the materialized store should > be managed by the Streams library itself, but we should probably help users > to understand if they have some stores used for the same purpose (storing > the value that are going to be sent to the downstream changelog stream of > KTable), they should save that store and not creating by themselves as it > will be auto created by the Streams library. > > > Guozhang > > > > > On Tue, May 8, 2018 at 7:45 AM, Damian Guy <damian....@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Initially i thought materializing a store would be overkill, but from a > > consistency point of view it makes sense to add an overload that takes a > > `Materialized` and only create the store if that is supplied. > > > > On Sun, 6 May 2018 at 17:52 Matthias J.
