-----------------------------------
Summary: proposal to introduce IQv2 Query Types: TimeStampKeyQuery
and TimeStampRangeQuery
Key: KAFKA-15629
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15629
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: streams
Reporter: Hanyu Zheng
In the current IQv2 code, there are noticeable differences when interfacing
with plain-kv-store and ts-kv-store. Notably, the return type V acts as a
simple value for plain-kv-store but evolves into ValueAndTimestamp<V> for
ts-kv-store, which presents type safety issues in the API.
Even if IQv2 hasn't gained widespread adoption, an immediate fix might bring
compatibility concerns.
This brings us to the essence of our proposal: the introduction of distinct
query types. One that returns a plain value, another for values accompanied by
timestamps.
While querying a ts-kv-store for a plain value and then extracting it is
feasible, it doesn't make sense to query a plain-kv-store for a
ValueAndTimestamp<V>.
Our vision is for plain-kv-store to always return V, while ts-kv-store should
return ValueAndTimestamp<V>.
