Hi Matthias,

Generally I think using Instant and Duration make the test more readable
and that's why I modified KIP based on your suggestion.
Now a lot of code use time with long or Long and that make the change more
complicated.

What I tried to say about the migration is the lines without timestamp or
if long timestamp is supported can be migrated mainly with search &
recplace:

testDriver.pipeInput(recordFactory.create(WordCountLambdaExample.inputTopic,
nullKey, "Hello", 1L));

->

*inputTopic*.pipeInput(nullKey, "Hello", 1L);

If long is not supported as timestamp, the same is not so easy:

testDriver.pipeInput(recordFactory.create(WordCountLambdaExample.inputTopic,
nullKey, "Hello", 1L));

->

*inputTopic1*.pipeInput(nullKey, "Hello", Instant.ofEpochMilli(1L));

Also if you need to convert arbitrary long timestamps to proper time
Instants, it require you need to understand the logic of the test. So
mechanical search & replace is not possible.


I see there are several alternatives for long vs Instant / Duration:

1. All times as long/Long like in this version:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=119550011

(startTimestampMs, autoAdvanceMs as parameter of  createInputTopic
instead of configureTiming)

2. Auto timestamping configured with Instant and Duration, pipeInput
and TestRecord with long:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=120722523


3. (CURRENT) Auto timestamping configured with Instant and Duration,
pipeInput and TestRecord with Instant, version with long deprecated:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-470%3A+TopologyTestDriver+test+input+and+output+usability+improvements


4. Auto timestamping configured with Instant and Duration, pipeInput
and TestRecord with Instant and long parallel (with long not
deprecated):

5. Auto timestamping configured with Instant and Duration, pipeInput
and TestRecord with Instant only

I hope to get feedback.

My own preference currently is alternative 3. or 4.


If somebody want to test, there is a implementation of this version
available in Github:

https://github.com/jukkakarvanen/kafka-streams-test-topics

which can be used directly from public Maven repository:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.github.jukkakarvanen</groupId>
        <artifactId>kafka-streams-test-topics</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.1-beta3</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

Also is this approach in KIP-470 preferred over KIP-456, so can we close it:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-456%3A+Helper+classes+to+make+it+simpler+to+write+test+logic+with+TopologyTestDriver
