Had a discussion on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15242 and it was pointed out, that we also need to do something about `FixedKeyRecord`. It does not have a public constructor (what is correct; it should not have one). However, this makes testing `FixedKeyProcessor` impossible w/o extending `FixedKeyRecord` manually what does not seem to be right (too clumsy).

It seems, we either need some helper builder method (but not clear to me where to add it in an elegant way) which would provide us with a `FixedKeyRecord`, or add some sub-class to the test-utils module which would extend `FixedKeyRecord`? -- Or maybe an even better solution? I could not think of something else so far.


Thoughts?

Hi Matthias,

Sorry this fell out of my radar for a bit.

Revisiting the topic, I think you’re right and we accept the duplicated
nesting as an appropriate solution to not affect the larger public API.

I can update my PR with the change.

It seems that `MockRecordMetadata` is a private class, and thus not part

discuss on the KIP.


For `CapturedPunctuator` and `CapturedForward` it's a little bit more
tricky. My gut feeling is, that the classes might not need to be
changed, but if we use them within `MockProcessorContext` and
`MockFixedKeyProcessorContext` it might be weird to keep the current
nesting... The problem I see is, that it's not straightforward how to
move the classes w/o breaking compatibility, nor if we duplicate them as
standalone classes w/o a larger "splash radius". (We would need to add
new overloads for MockProcessorContext#scheduledPunctuators() and
MockProcessorContext#forwarded()).

Might be good to hear from others if we think it's worth this larger
changes to get rid of the nesting, or just accept the somewhat not ideal
nesting as it technically is not a real issue?

Thanks for the feedback Matthias!

The reason I proposed the extension of MockProcessorContext was more
to do
with the internals of the class (MockRecordMetadata,
CapturedPunctuator and
CapturedForward).

However, I do see your point, I would then think to split
MockProcessorContext and MockFixedKeyProcessorContext, some of the
internal
classes should also be extracted i.e. MockRecordMetadata,
CapturedPunctuator and probably a new CapturedFixedKeyForward.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks for the KIP Shashwat. Closing this testing gap is great! It did
come up a few time already...

One question: why do you propose to `extend MockProcessorContext`?

Given how the actual runtime context classes are setup, it seems that
the regular context and fixed-key-context are distinct, and thus I
believe both mock-context classes should be distinct, too?

What I mean is that FixedKeyProcessorContext does not extend
ProcessorContext. Both classes have a common parent ProcessINGContext
(note the very similar but different names), but they are "siblings"
only, so why make the mock processor a parent-child relationship?

It seems better to do

public class MockFixedKeyProcessorContext<KForward, VForward>
     implements FixedKeyProcessorContext<KForward, VForward>,
                RecordCollector.Supplier


Of course, if there is code we can share between both mock-context we
should so this, but it should not leak into the public API?

Hi everyone,

I would like to start the discussion on


https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1027%3A+Add+MockFixedKeyProcessorContext

This adds MockFixedKeyProcessorContext to the Kafka Streams Test Utils
library.
