Summary: 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 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
