Guozhang Wang commented on KAFKA-7497:
--------------------------------------
[~rmoff] Before we dive into the implementation details, could you list the
motivations for self-joins in Streams? Note that since stream-join only support
key-based join now, self-join should be well covered by just "enrich" the
stream record via `map` etc.

> There are valid reasons to want to join a stream to itself, but Kafka Streams
> does not currently support this ({{Invalid topology: Topic foo has already
> been registered by another source.}}). To perform the join requires creating
> a second stream as a clone of the first, and then doing a join between the
> two. This is a clunky workaround and results in unnecessary duplication of
> data.
