A. Sophie Blee-Goldman commented on KAFKA-12453:
------------------------------------------------
You literally wrote a test called "shouldNotReuseRepartitionTopicAsChangelogs"
-- it's in StreamsBuilderTest. We had this exact conversation a few months ago
and you added that test so we wouldn't forget how the optimization was/ wasn't
applied to repartitions :)
> Guidance on whether a topology is eligible for optimisation
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-12453
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12453
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: streams
> Reporter: Patrick O'Keeffe
> Priority: Major
>
> Since the introduction of KStream.toTable() in Kafka 2.6.x, the decision
> about whether a topology is eligible for optimisation is no longer a simple
> one, and is related to whether toTable() operations are preceded by key
> changing operators.
> This decision requires expert level knowledge, and there are serious
> implications associated with getting it wrong in terms of fault tolerance
> Some ideas spring to mind around how to guide developers to make the correct
> decision:
> # Topology.describe() could indicate whether this topology is eligible for
> optimisation
> # Topologies could be automatically optimised - note this may have an impact
> at deployment time, in that an application reset may be required. The
> developer would need to made aware of this and adjust the deployment plan
> accordingly
