JIRA: KAFKA-7277 - Getting issue details... STATUS KAFKA-7477 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Motivation

  1. KAFKA-7277:

    Right now Streams API universally represents time as ms-since-unix-epoch.
    There's nothing wrong, per se, with this, but Duration is more ergonomic for an API.
    What we don't want is to present a heterogeneous API, so we need to make sure the whole Streams API is in terms of Duration.

  2. KAFKA-7477:
    Improve of semantics of KafkaStreams#close(Duration)

Public Interfaces

We need to add following method to public API.

Some of the old methods become deprecated. Other can be replaced, because they are not released, yet.

Method that proposed for replacement added in  KAFKA-7222 - Getting issue details... STATUS (KIP-328commit b3771ba):

Proposed Changes

New methods in public API are proposed. See "Public Interfaces" section.

For the methods that used both: internally and as a part of public API the proposal is:

  1. In this scope keep existing methods as is.
    Try to reduce the visibility of methods in next tickets.
  2. Introduce finer methods with Instant and Duration

Changes in KafkaStream#close semantics:

  1. reject negative numbers
  2. make 0 just signal and return immediately (after checking the state once)

Default implementation of fetch methods in WindowStore.

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan

No compatibility issues foreseen.

Rejected Alternatives

An alternative solution with long parameters is implemented right now.
