Bruno Cadonna created KAFKA-8613: ------------------------------------ Summary: Set default grace period to 0 Key: KAFKA-8613 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8613 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: streams Affects Versions: 3.0.0 Reporter: Bruno Cadonna
Currently, the grace period is set to retention time if the grace period is not specified explicitly. The reason for setting the default grace period to retention time was backward compatibility. Topologies that were implemented before the introduction of the grace period, added late arriving records to a window as long as the window existed, i.e., as long as its retention time was not elapsed. This unintuitive default grace period has already caused confusion among users. For the next major release, we should set the default grace period to {{Duration.ZERO}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
