Hi Florian,
Re 1: I think changing the KStreamImpl / KTableImpl to allow modifying the
processor name after the operator is fine as long as we do the check again
when modifying that. In fact, we are having some topology optimization
going on which may modify processor names in the final topology anyways (
https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/4983). Semantically I think it is
easier to understand to developers than "deciding the processor name for
the next operator".
Re 2: Yeah I'm thinking that for operators that translates to multiple
processor names, we can still use the provided "hint" to name the processor
names, e.g. for Joins we can name them as `join-foo-this` and
`join-foo-that` etc if user calls `as("foo")`.
Re 3: The motivation I had about removing the suffix is that it has huge
restrictions on topology compatibilities: consider if user code added a new
operator, or library does some optimization to remove some operators, the
suffix indexing may be changed for a large amount of the processor names:
this will in turn change the internal state store names, as well as
internal topic names as well, making the new application topology to be
incompatible with the ones. One rationale I had about this KIP is that
aligned this effort, moving forward we can allow users to customize
internal names so that they can still be reused even with topology changes
(e.g. KIP-230), so I think removing the suffix index would be more
applicable in the long run.
