Bill Bejeck commented on KAFKA-12213: ------------------------------------- Hi, [~MonCalamari]. I have an implementation for the ValueJoinerWithKey access, and I'll push a PR soon. As [~mjsax] pointed out, KIP-149 started before we had the Scala API, and overloading the `join` method with a `ValueJoiner` and a `ValueJoinerWithKey` does cause issues with the Scala API. I'm working on proposed solutions, and I'll send out something on the dev mailing list soon. But I don't have any plans at the moment to work on key access in the `Initializer` or `Reducer` parts of KIP-149 so feel free to move ahead with that part of the KIP-149 Thanks, Bill Bejeck > Kafka Streams aggregation Initializer to accept record key > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-12213 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12213 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: streams > Reporter: Piotr Fras > Assignee: Piotr Fras > Priority: Minor > Labels: needs-kip > > Sometimes Kafka record key contains useful information for creating a zero > object in aggregation Initializer.
