Matthias J. Sax commented on KAFKA-10847:
-----------------------------------------
I actually plan to work on it myself in Q1 :)
We might even need a KIP, as there are some consideration with regard to
ordering what we might need to take into account.
> Avoid spurious left/outer join results in stream-stream join
> -------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: KAFKA-10847
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10847
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
> Priority: Major
>
> KafkaStreams follows an eager execution model, ie, it never buffers input
> records but processes them right away. For left/outer stream-stream join,
> this implies that left/outer join result might be emitted before the window
> end (or window close) time is reached. Thus, a record what will be an
> inner-join result, might produce a eager (and spurious) left/outer join
> result.
> We should change the implementation of the join, to not emit eager left/outer
> join result, but instead delay the emission of such result after the window
> grace period passed.
