Summary: TopologyTestDriver spends most of its time forcing changes to disk Key: KAFKA-19689 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-19689 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: streams-test-utils Affects Versions: 4.1.0 Reporter: Steven Schlansker Attachments: image-2025-09-08-14-07-05-768.png We recently upgraded a Streams app to 4.1.0 and found that our unit and integration tests feel like they take much longer and consume more system resources. Indeed, when comparing to 4.0.0, it seems there is a significant regression in the TopologyTestDriver - with 4.1.0, we spend a ton of time in {{Utils.flushDir}} that did not seem to happen in 4.0.0 It looks like the test driver is syncing the entire state directory to disk for every record processed: !image-2025-09-08-14-07-05-768.png! -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
