Andreas,

I agree that it might be a bug, but it's unclear what is happening -- it
would be helpful to understand the scenario better to file a descriptive
JIRA that helps to fix the issue.

Btw: Kafka 0.10.2.1 got release yesterday -- maybe you can try the new
release and report if it works there on not (there are a couple of bug
fixes for Streams)

If you receive a random number of output records, are this records from
consecutive offsets in the input topic? Or record with random offsets?
Also, when your application does not write all record to the output
topic, what is the committed offsets for the input topic? I ask this as
I would like to understand if Stream get stuck at some point, of if the
input got get consumed but message get lost in the middle.

Did you check the logs? Maybe increasing the log level to DEBUG (or even
TRACE) might revile some insight. Did you register and
UncaughtExceptionHandler (cf.
http://docs.confluent.io/current/streams/developer-guide.html#using-kafka-streams-within-your-application-code).
This might help to see if a thread dies or not.

Do you run single thread on both Stream instances? Do you change any
other default StreamsConfig setting?
