Uladzislau Blok commented on KAFKA-19943:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the response. AFAIA
StreamsConfig#windowstore.changelog.additional.retention.ms is related to
window store only. in this case we're using just key value store. How can we
address this issue then? Use window store every time as a work around?
off-topic: I have proposed new solution for
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-19430 (last comment). Could you
please take a look? :)
> Stale values in State Store after tombstone was compacted
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-19943
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-19943
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: streams
> Affects Versions: 3.9.1, 4.1.1
> Reporter: Uladzislau Blok
> Priority: Major
>
> h3. *Summary*
> When a Kafka Streams application with a local *state store* (backed by
> RocksDB) restarts after a period exceeding the changelog topic's
> {*}{{delete.retention.ms}}{*}, it can lead to previously deleted entities
> "magically" reappearing. This happens because the *tombstones* required to
> mark these deletions are no longer present in the compacted changelog topic.
> ----
> h3. *Details and Observed Behavior*
> The issue typically occurs in environments without *shared storage* for state
> stores (like Kubernetes with local volumes) after a *failover* or prolonged
> shutdown.
> # *Original Instance:* An entity is processed and subsequently
> {*}deleted{*}. A *tombstone* (a record with a null value) is written to the
> state store's compacted changelog topic.
> # *Downtime/Failover:* The original instance is shut down, and a new
> instance (or pod) starts after a period longer than the changelog topic's
> {{{}delete.retention.ms{}}}.
> # *Tombstone Removal:* Since the tombstone has aged past
> {{{}delete.retention.ms{}}}, the Kafka broker removes it during log
> compaction.
> # *Restart and Rehydration:* The new instance starts with its own, empty
> local RocksDB. It begins to *rebuild* its state store by consuming the
> compacted changelog topic.
> # *The Bug:* The deleted entity's key, while removed from the changelog, may
> still exist in the local RocksDB of the _old_ (now failed-over) instance.
> Critically, if the old instance was running a long time ago, the key/value
> pair might have existed _before_ the deletion. Since the *tombstone* is gone,
> there is nothing in the changelog to tell the new instance to *delete* that
> key.
> # *Symptom:* The previously deleted entity is unexpectedly revived in the
> new state store. We observed this because a {*}punctuator{*}, which scans the
> {*}entire state store{*}, began processing these revived, outdated entities.
>
> ----
> h3. *Reproduce issue*
> I was able to reproduce an issue, while doing local testing with state store
> and aggressive compaction config
