I managed to track down one case where we were seeing issues with missing data when transitioning to a new node to being a retention policy on the topic. There is an additional case but have not been able to repro at this time. We recently fixed a problem where we were failing to properly gracefully shut down our jobs in certain cases so there's a chance that might be related. Anyhow, now that I have a better understanding of things I will be able to investigate if we experience missing keys in the future, thanks!

Only after this topic got read completely and the KTable is ready, the application should start processing. This would indicate, that on startup, the current partition sizes must be fetched and stored, and after KTable got populated up to those offsets, stream processing can start. > Other discussed ideas are: > 1) an initial fixed time period for populating > (it might be hard for a user to estimate the correct value) > 2) an "idle" period, ie, if no update to a KTable for a certain time is > done, we consider it as populated > 3) a timestamp cut off point, ie, all records with an older timestamp > belong to the initial populating phase > The API change is not decided yet, and the API desing is part of this JIRA. > One suggestion (for option (4)) was: > {noformat} > KTable table = builder.table("topic", 1000); // populate the table without reading any other topics until see one record with timestamp 1000. > {noformat} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
