Randall Hauch created KAFKA-2593: ------------------------------------ Summary: KeyValueStores should not require use of the context's default serializers and deserializers Key: KAFKA-2593 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2593 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Sub-task Components: kafka streams Reporter: Randall Hauch Assignee: Randall Hauch Fix For: 0.9.0.0
Currently the {{InMemoryKeyValueStore}} is only able to use the key and value serializers and deserializers (aka, "serdes") from the {{ProcessingContext}}. This means that a {{Processor}} implementation that wants to use the {{InMemoryKeyValueStore}} can only do this if the key and value types match those set up as the default serdes in the topology's configuration. Additionally, the {{RocksDBKeyValueStore}} is only capable of {{byte[]}} keys and values. Both of these key-value stores should allow the component using them to specify the serdes for both the keys and values. As a convenience, the current behavior should still be supported, as should a way to infer the serdes for the "built-in" serializers and deserializers (e.g., strings, integers, longs, and byte arrays). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
