Hi, I fixed that sorted set issue but I am facing a weird problem which I am not able to replicate.
Here is the sample problem that I could isolate: My class is like this: public static class Message implements Comparable<Message> { public long ts; public String message; public String key; public Message() {}; public Message(long ts, String message, String key) { this.ts = ts; this.key = key; this.message = message; } public int compareTo(Message paramT) { long ts1 = paramT.ts; return ts > ts1 ? 1 : -1; } } pipeline is like this: builder.stream(Serdes.String(), messageSerde, "test-window-stream")\ .map(new KeyValueMapper<String, Message, KeyValue<String, Message>>() { public KeyValue<String, Message> apply(String key, Message value) { return new KeyValue<String, Message>(value.key, value); } }) .through(Serdes.String(), messageSerde, "test-window-key-stream") .aggregateByKey(new Initializer<SortedSet<Message>>() { public SortedSet<Message> apply() { return new TreeSet<Message>(); } }, new Aggregator<String, Message, SortedSet<Message>>() { public SortedSet<Message> apply(String aggKey, Message value, SortedSet<Message> aggregate) { aggregate.add(value); return aggregate; } }, TimeWindows.of("stream-table", 10 * 1000L).advanceBy(5 * 1000L), Serdes.String(), messagesSerde) .foreach(new ForeachAction<Windowed<String>, SortedSet<Message>>() { public void apply(Windowed<String> key, SortedSet<Message> messages) { ... } }); So basically I rekey the original message into another topic and then aggregate it based on that key. What I have observed is that when I used windowed aggregation the aggregator does not use previous aggregated value. public SortedSet<Message> apply(String aggKey, Message value, SortedSet<Message> aggregate) { aggregate.add(value); return aggregate; } So in the above function the aggregate is an empty set of every value entering into pipeline. When I remove the windowed aggregation, the aggregate set retains previously aggregated values in the set. I am just not able to wrap my head around it. When I ran this type of test locally on windows it is working fine. However a similar pipeline setup when run against production on linux is behaving strangely and always getting an empty aggregate set. Any idea what could be the reason, where should I look at the problem. Does length of key string matters here? I will later try to run the same simple setup on linux and see what happens. But this is a very strange behavior.
