Hi Team, I'm utilizing Kafka Streams to handle data from Kafka topics, running multiple instances with the same application ID. This enables distributed processing of Kafka data across these instances. Furthermore, I've implemented state stores with time windows and session windows. To retrieve windows efficiently, I've established a remote query mechanism between Kafka Streams instances. By leveraging the queryMetadataForKey method on streams, I can retrieve the hostname where a specific key was processed and where the corresponding window data resides in the state store. *streams.queryMetadataForKey(storeName, recordKey, new DataKeySerilizer()).activeHost();* This functionality has been running smoothly for quite some time, up until we upgraded our Kafka and Kafka Streams versions to 3.7.0. Since the upgrade, we've noticed some unexpected behavior that we didn't encounter with the previous versions.
- The queryMetadataForKey method is returning "unavailable" as the hostname, despite having two Kafka Streams instances in a running state. The issue seems to persist intermittently, and restarting the Kafka Streams instances temporarily resolves it. However, the problem resurfaces after some time. - Additionally, we've observed that the state store of Kafka Streams instances is not evenly distributed as it was before the upgrade. Previously, if a Kafka topic had 10 partitions and two Kafka Streams instances were running, these 10 partitions would be evenly shared between the two instances. However, this behavior seems to have changed after the upgrade. When can this issue happen? How can I fix the issue ? I would like to express my gratitude in advance for any assistance provided. -- Thank's&Regard's, Prasad, 91-9030546248.
