Matthias J. Sax resolved KAFKA-7035.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Abandoned
> Kafka Processor's init() method sometimes is not called
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-7035
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7035
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: streams
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Oleksandr Konopko
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: TransformProcessor.java
>
>
> Scenario:
> 1. We have processing of Kafka Topic which is implemented with Processor API
> 2. We want to collect metrics (lets say just count number of processed
> entities for simplicity)
> 3. How we tried to organize this
> * process data with process() method and send it down the stream with context
> * on each call of process() method update the counter
> * schedule puctuate function which will send metric to special topic. Metric
> is build with counter
> You can find the code (we removed all business sensitive code out of it, so
> it should be easy to read) in attachment
>
> Problematic Kafka Streams behaviour that i can see by logging every step:
> 1. We have 800000 messages in the input topic
> 2. Kafka Streams creates 4 Processor instances. Lets name them: ProcessorA,
> ProcessorB, ProcessorC and ProcessorD
> 3. ProcessorA and ProcessorB receive 1-5% of data. Data is processed
> correctly, results are sent down the stream. Counter is upated
> 4. init() method was not called for ProcessorA and ProcessorB
> 5. ProcessorC and ProcessorD are created and they start to receive all the
> rest of data. 95-99%
> 6. init() method is called for both ProcessorC and ProcessorD. It initiates
> punctuation, which causes Metrics message be created and sent down the metric
> stream periodically
> 7. ProcessorA and ProcessorB are closed. init() was never called for them. So
> Metric entity was not sent to metrics topic
> 8. Processing is finished.
>
> In the end:
> Expected:
> * 800000 entities were processed and sent to the Sink
> * Metrics entities contain counters which sum up to 800000
> Actual results:
> * 800000 entities were processed and sent to the Sink
> * Metrics entities contain counters which sum up to some number 3-6% less
> than 800000, for example 786543
>
> Problem:
> * init() method call is not guaranteed
> * there is no way to guarantee that all work was done by punctuate method
> before close()
>
