Hi Manohar,
On a side note regarding your use-case, I have a question.
After consuming the DML changes from the kafka topic, why do you have to
query back? Are you trying to decorate the event or perform some kind of
join?

The point I am trying to make is that if you perform a remote lookup with
every event you consume, it's going to be hard to keep to "realtime" (then
again, realtime really depends on your SLA).

Instead, I would suggest that you have an adapter that periodically takes a
snapshot of the entire table and pushes it to another topic in Kafka (not
sure how hard it is going to be to write an adapter). This way, when you
job starts, it can partition and cache the entire data set in the Samza
task (by using RocksDb with changelog, as Jagadish suggested). Samza
provides a "bootstrap" stream option that is read during job-startup until
no more messages are available. You can configure your snapshot stream to
be a bootstrap stream, essentially.
Once your job is "bootstrapped", you can process events by looking up in
the local partitioned store rather than the remote store. Please note that
the DML change topic and data set need to be partitioned with the same key.
Otherwise, it won't work correctly.


Another alternative is make a remote call to fetch the data set and cache
it locally with rocksdb. This is much simpler to implement, however, it
depends on how you configure your cache and the job will be eventually
close to "realtime".

Hope my suggestions makes sense. Apologies, if I have misunderstood your
use-case.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Cheers!
Navina
