Xavier Léauté commented on KAFKA-5765: -------------------------------------- I have a small request when it comes to merge(). The current varargs form generates a lot of compiler warnings that need to be suppressed using {{@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")}}. Given that the typical merge use-case only involves only a handful of streams, I think it would be useful to provide a couple of overloads that take a fixed number of arguments, similar to what Guave does in [ImmutableList.of(...)|https://google.github.io/guava/releases/21.0/api/docs/com/google/common/collect/ImmutableList.html#of-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-] > Move merge() from StreamsBuilder to KStream > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-5765 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5765 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: streams > Affects Versions: 0.11.0.0 > Reporter: Matthias J. Sax > Assignee: Matthias J. Sax > Labels: needs-kip > > Merging multiple {{KStream}} is done via {{StreamsBuilder#merge()}} (formally > {{KStreamBuilder#merge()}}). This is quite unnatural and should be done via > {{KStream#merge()}}. > As {{StreamsBuilder}} is not released yet, this is not a backward > incompatible change (and KStreamBuilder is already deprecated). We still need > a KIP as we add a new method to a public {{KStreams}} API. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
