> Currently, changelog topics are not auto-created. This is a frustrating user
> experience, and there are a few useful defaults that should be set that are
> not obvious when creating Kafka topics with log compaction enabled.
> We should have Samza auto-create changelog streams for the kv stores that
> have changelogs enabled.
> In Kafka's case, the changelog topics should be created with compaction
> enabled. They should also be created with a smaller (100mb) default
> [segment.bytes|http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#configuration]
> setting. The smaller segment.bytes setting is useful for low-volume
> changelogs. The problem we've seen in the past is that the default
> log.segment.bytes is 1 gig. Kafka's compaction implementation NEVER touches
> the most recent log segment. This means that, if you have a very small state
> store, but execute a lot of deletes/updates (e.g. you've only got maybe 25
> megs of active state, but are deleting and updating it frequently), you will
> always end up with at LEAST 1 gig of state to restore (since the most recent
> segment will always contain non-compacted writes). This is silly since your
> active (compacted) state is really only ~25 megs. Shrinking the segment bytes
> means that you'll have a smaller maximum data size to restore. The trade off
> here is that we'll have more segment files for changelogs, which will
> increase file handles.
> The trick is doing this in a generic way, since we are supporting changelogs
> for more than just Kafka systems. I think the interface to do the stream
> creation belongs in the SystemAdmin interface. It would be nice to have a
> generic SystemAdmin.createStream() interface, but this would require giving
> it kafka-specific configuration. Another option is to have
> SystemAdmin.createChangelogStream, but this seems a bit hacky at first
> glance. We need to think this part through.
> [~martinkl], in hello-samza, how are we creating log compacted state stores
> with the appropriate number of partitions? Is this handled as part of
> bin/grid?
