Bruno Cadonna commented on KAFKA-12775:
---------------------------------------
[~nhab] Thank you for filing this ticket and the minimal example.
For topology changes, we usually recommend to reset the Streams application.
There are for sure cases that do not lead to issues without a reset, but in
general Kafka Streams has never guaranteed backward compatibility when the
topology changes. There are some rough ideas how to approach this but nothing
is implemented.

> I believe this is a functional regression.
> Before, it was possible for Streams users to make backwards-compatible
> topology changes and roll those out, without having to do a complete restore
> or reload.
> For example:
> Existing sample topology:
>
> {code:java}
> stream1 = stream(topic)
> stream1
> .map(...)
> .to(output){code}
> And doing this backwards-compatible change:
> {code:java}
> stream1 = stream(topic)
> ++ table = stream(topic2).through(repartition-topic)/repartition().toTable()
> stream1
> .map(...)
> ++ .join(table)
> .to(output){code}
>
> This effectively creates a new subtopology with a new task for the table
> repartition.
> In older KStreams versions, it would have been possible to simply roll this
> change out.
> Since 2.6, rolling this out will crash the stream because the linked
> exception gets thrown when StreamsPartitionAssignor#getPreviousTasksByLag
> tries to look up the lag for the new table-repartition-task
>
> At this time, the only possible way to avoid this exception seems to be
> deleting all local state and doing a complete restore with the new topology
> change included.
