             Summary: Allow names for windowing joins
                 Key: KAFKA-6273
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6273
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Matthias


Currently, the internal name of a windowing join is generated at runtime using 
a counter to ensure uniqueness within a running topology. 

If a topology is changed and redeployed, different names can be generated for 
the same window. This can result in lost windowing state without intervention 
modifying offsets to re-consume the input topics.

https://kafka.apache.org/10/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/streams/kstream/Joined.html

The proposed change would be to add an optional configuration parameter 
"joinName" to Joined. If provided, this would be used by KStreamImpl to 
generate internal names when building a join. If not provided the existing name 
generation would be used. (Since this is an opt-in, optional parameter there 
would be no impact on existing code.)
