Hi all, I apologize if this has been discussed to death in the past, but, I'm finding myself very confused, and google is not proving helpful.
Based on the documentation, I understand that if there are idle partitions in a kafka stream, watermarks will not advance for the entire application. I was hoping that by setting parallelism = the number of partitions that I would be able to work around the issue, but, this didn't work. I'm totally willing to accept the fact that if I have idle partitions, my windowed partitions won't work, however, I would really like to understand why setting the parallelism didn't work. If someone can explain, or perhaps point me to documentation or code, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks. -- *Andrew Kowpak P.Eng* *Sr. Software Engineer* (519) 489 2688 | SSIMWAVE Inc. 402-140 Columbia Street West, Waterloo ON
