-------------------------------
Summary: Caching table descriptor should not take run-time objects
Key: SAMZA-1854
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-1854
Project: Samza
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Jagadish
Currently, users can use composition to construct composite tables using the
CachingTableDescriptor. An example use-case is to have a RocksDb table as a
cache in front of a remote database table. Currently users have to provide a
concrete "table" instance to compose/instantiate a "CachingTableDescriptor".
This is undesirable, since the table is an object that contains runtime state
while a descriptor is merely a logical specification. To ensure a cleaner
separation, we should ensure that creating a "CachingTableDescriptor" only
takes a "tableDescriptor" instance instead of an actual table instance.
