Name	Description	Type	Default	Valid Values	Importance
application.id	An identifier for the stream processing application. Must be unique within the Kafka cluster. It is used as 1) the default client-id prefix, 2) the group-id for membership management, 3) the changelog topic prefix.	string			high
bootstrap.servers	A list of host/port pairs to use for establishing the initial connection to the Kafka cluster. The client will make use of all servers irrespective of which servers are specified here for bootstrapping—this list only impacts the initial hosts used to discover the full set of servers. This list should be in the form host1:port1,host2:port2,.... Since these servers are just used for the initial connection to discover the full cluster membership (which may change dynamically), this list need not contain the full set of servers (you may want more than one, though, in case a server is down).	list			high
client.id	An id string to pass to the server when making requests. The purpose of this is to be able to track the source of requests beyond just ip/port by allowing a logical application name to be included in server-side request logging.	string	""		high
zookeeper.connect	Zookeeper connect string for Kafka topics management.	string	""		high
key.serde	Serializer / deserializer class for key that implements the Serde interface.	class	class org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serdes$ByteArraySerde		medium
partition.grouper	Partition grouper class that implements the PartitionGrouper interface.	class	class org.apache.kafka.streams.processor.DefaultPartitionGrouper		medium
replication.factor	The replication factor for change log topics and repartition topics created by the stream processing application.	int	1		medium
state.dir	Directory location for state store.	string	/tmp/kafka-streams		medium
timestamp.extractor	Timestamp extractor class that implements the TimestampExtractor interface.	class	class org.apache.kafka.streams.processor.ConsumerRecordTimestampExtractor		medium
value.serde	Serializer / deserializer class for value that implements the Serde interface.	class	class org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.Serdes$ByteArraySerde		medium
windowstore.changelog.additional.retention.ms	Added to a windows maintainMs to ensure data is not deleted from the log prematurely. Allows for clock drift. Default is 1 day	long	86400000		medium
application.server	A host:port pair pointing to an embedded user defined endpoint that can be used for discovering the locations of state stores within a single KafkaStreams application	string	""		low
buffered.records.per.partition	The maximum number of records to buffer per partition.	int	1000		low
cache.max.bytes.buffering	Maximum number of memory bytes to be used for buffering across all threads	long	10485760	[0,...]	low
commit.interval.ms	The frequency with which to save the position of the processor.	long	30000		low
metric.reporters	A list of classes to use as metrics reporters. Implementing the MetricReporter interface allows plugging in classes that will be notified of new metric creation. The JmxReporter is always included to register JMX statistics.	list	[]		low
metrics.num.samples	The number of samples maintained to compute metrics.	int	2	[1,...]	low
metrics.sample.window.ms	The window of time a metrics sample is computed over.	long	30000	[0,...]	low
num.standby.replicas	The number of standby replicas for each task.	int	0		low
num.stream.threads	The number of threads to execute stream processing.	int	1		low
poll.ms	The amount of time in milliseconds to block waiting for input.	long	100		low
rocksdb.config.setter	A Rocks DB config setter class that implements the RocksDBConfigSetter interface	class	null		low
state.cleanup.delay.ms	The amount of time in milliseconds to wait before deleting state when a partition has migrated.	long	60000		low
