Dear Kafka creators, First of all I would like to thank you for your great product. I have a question relating to the Kafka stores and I will be really appreciate if you find a minute to answer.
According to javadoc of ReadOnlyKeyValueStore#range(K from, K to) method: > Get an iterator over a given range of keys. This iterator must be closed > after use. The returned iterator must be safe from > ConcurrentModificationExceptions and must not return null values. *No > ordering guarantees are provided* I'm using *KeyValueStore<Long, String>* obtained from *GlobalKTable* via *ProcessorContext* in my transformer and iterator retrieved using *range* method always provides entries ordered by key (Long) even if records were inserted randomly. In which cases this order may be violated? -- With best Regards, *Yurii Demchenko* *cell:* +380 63 873-83-83 *email:* yurii.demche...@gmail.com
