------------------------------------------
Assignee: Sophie Blee-Goldman
> Promote Standby tasks to active tasks without closing them
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-9501
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9501
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
> Assignee: Sophie Blee-Goldman
> Priority: Critical
>
> The purpose of StandbyTasks in Kafka Streams is fast failover. However, atm
> we close StandbyTasks (and create a new active task) if they are promoted to
> active.
> While this works ok for persistent state stores, it renders hot standbys for
> in-memory state stores useless, because we drop the in-memory state when we
> close the StandbyTask and thus the new active tasks needs to reread the
> changelog topic to recreate the in-memory state.
> Hence, we should promote StandbyTasks to active tasks without closing them.
> This will not only fix the issue for in-memory stores, but will make
> rebalancing faster for persistent state stores, too, because closing and
> reopening RocksDB has significant overhead.
