Hi guys, I want to perform a join between two KStreams. An event may appear only on one of the streams (either one of them), so I can't use inner join (which emits only on a match) or left join (which emits only when the left input arrives). This leaves me with outer join. The problem with outer join is that it emits on every record arrival, which creates duplicates at the output node.
My downstream application is BigQuery, which doesn't support updates, thus can't do the dedup by itself. What is the best practice implementing deduplication in KafkaStreams, keeping only the latest, most updated record? Is it possible to emit a record only after some time has passed, or upon a certain trigger? Thanks. *Ofir Sharony* BackEnd Tech Lead Mobile: +972-54-7560277 <+972%2054-756-0277> | ofir.shar...@myheritage.com | www.myheritage.com MyHeritage Ltd., 3 Ariel Sharon St., Or Yehuda 60250, Israel <http://www.myheritage.com/> <https://www.facebook.com/myheritage> <https://twitter.com/myheritage> <http://blog.myheritage.com/> <https://www.youtube.com/user/MyHeritageLtd>
