Thank you Damian, it was very helpful. I have implemented my solution in version 0.11.0.2 but there is one thing I still wonder. So what I try to do is what is described in KIP 150. Since it didn't make to the release for 1.0 I do it the old fashioned way. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-150+-+Kafka-Streams+Cogroup First KTable<K, V1> table1 = builder.stream("topic1").groupByKey().aggregate(initializer1, aggregator1, aggValueSerde1, storeName1);
for all the four topics and then I join the results. And here is the thing, the topics are partitioned and I don't used global tables, nor keyed messages and it seems to work fine. >From Confluents documentation one could get impression that when reading from partitoned topics you need to use global tables. But is it really necessary in this case? And if not then why? Thanks again Artur Here is the link to my implementation https://github.com/afuyo/KStreamsDemo/blob/master/src/main/java/kstream.demo/CustomerStreamPipelineHDI.java On Wed, Nov 22, 2017 at 12:10 PM, Damian Guy <damian....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Artur, > > KafkaStreams 0.10.0.0 is quite old and a lot has changed and been fixed > since then.
