Hi All,
I am a little confused on the difference between the
KStreamBuilder merge() function and doing a KStream-to-KStream Join operation.
I understand the difference between Inner, Left and Outer joins, but I don't
understand exactly what the difference is between the two. It appears to me
that both ways would merge two streams into a single stream, but the joins do
have the ability to remove duplicate data. Is that the only difference? Also,
on a side note, I am really clueless as to what the difference between Windowed
and Windowless means when referring to the joins.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
