Thanks, I think this all makes sense. I was able to get my application up and running with the exception of the Output SystemStream not finding its Serde.
For a little more background, here's how we are set up: We are moving from YARN to standalone (running in Kubernetes). I think we have this part under control. Previously, we had a config rewriter that would iterate over all of the topics in the config "*task.inputs*" and "*task.outputs.**" config settings and create serializers for each stream. One issue we ran into was that the descriptor setup in code doesn't like our old StreamId(s) that have dots in the name, so we went through some work to use logical names for our stream IDs, and set the topic name using the "withPhysicalName" method. We figured that with the outputs all being wired up in code, neither of these should matter, and we expected the Serde we specified when registering the OutputDescriptor to be found and used when sending messages using that logical StreamId. However what we see while debugging is that when sending a message, the logical StreamId we registered with the OutputDescriptor cannot be found in SystemProducer.send() which calls serdeManager.toBytes(...) and in there, it cannot locate the serde using the logical StreamId. What is strange is that there ARE Serde(s) in the "systemStreamMessageSerdes" map set up for StreamId(s) that use the physical names of our topics (including the dots) but NOT the logical names. We seem to be stuck a little right now, and unsure why this new restriction on the use of dot in StreamIDs from the Descriptor side, but not seemingly aligning in the rest of the system. Any ideas or support would be great. We'll continue to dig as well.
