Matthias J. Sax commented on KAFKA-6106: ---------------------------------------- IMHO, both scenarios (block all processing to speed up restoration as well as start partial processing asap) are valuable and we should give a user a config to choose between both behaviors. This would require a KIP. > Postpone normal processing of tasks within a thread until restoration of all > tasks have completed > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-6106 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6106 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: streams > Affects Versions: 0.11.0.1, 1.0.0 > Reporter: Guozhang Wang > Assignee: Guozhang Wang > > Let's say a stream thread hosts multiple tasks, A and B. At the very > beginning when A and B are assigned to the thread, the thread state is > {{TASKS_ASSIGNED}}, and the thread start restoring these two tasks during > this state using the restore consumer while using normal consumer for > heartbeating. > If task A's restoration has completed earlier than task B, then the thread > will start processing A immediately even when it is still in the > {{TASKS_ASSIGNED}} phase. But processing task A will slow down restoration of > task B since it is single-thread. So the thread's transition to {{RUNNING}} > when all of its assigned tasks have completed restoring and now can be > processed will be delayed. > Note that the streams instance's state will only transit to {{RUNNING}} when > all of its threads have transit to {{RUNNING}}, so the instance's transition > will also be delayed by this scenario. > We'd better to not start processing ready tasks immediately, but instead > focus on restoration during the {{TASKS_ASSIGNED}} state to shorten the > overall time of the instance's state transition. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
