Matthias J. Sax commented on KAFKA-3625:
----------------------------------------
Thanks a lot for this feedback! This is super helpful!
The artifact you are using atm, it not public API, and thus, there is no
guarantee that your tests don't break if you upgrade. (Additionally, you pull
in all Kafka Streams unit tests that you are actually not interested in.) Thus,
we want to have a public {{streams-test-utils}} package. About serialization --
I completely understand that this is annoying, but we cannot easily avoid it...
But we try to minimize the required boilerplate code. Hope you participate in
the KIP discussion that I want to start at the mailing list this week.
> Move kafka-streams test fixtures into a published package
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-3625
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3625
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Jeff Klukas
> Assignee: Matthias J. Sax
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: needs-kip, user-experience
>
> The KStreamTestDriver and related fixtures defined in
> streams/src/test/java/org/apache/kafka/test would be useful to developers
> building applications on top of Kafka Streams, but they are not currently
> exposed in a package.
> I propose moving this directory to live under streams/fixtures/src/main and
> creating a new 'streams:fixtures' project in the gradle configuration to
> publish these as a separate package.
