Interface SessionWindowedKStream<K,V>

Type Parameters:

K - Type of keys

V - Type of values

public interface SessionWindowedKStream<K,V>

SessionWindowedKStream is an abstraction of a windowed record stream of KeyValue pairs. It is an intermediate representation after a grouping and windowing of a KStream before an aggregation is applied to the new (partitioned) windows resulting in a windowed KTable (a windowed KTable is a KTable with key type Windowed.

SessionWindows are dynamic data driven windows. They have no fixed time boundaries, rather the size of the window is determined by the records. Please see SessionWindows for more details.

SessionWindows are retained until their retention time expires (c.f. SessionWindows.until(long)). Furthermore, updates are sent downstream into a windowed KTable changelog stream, where "windowed" implies that the KTable key is a combined key of the original record key and a window ID.

A SessionWindowedKStream must be obtained from a KGroupedStream via KGroupedStream.windowedBy(SessionWindows) .

Method Detail

count

KTable<Windowed<K>,java.lang.Long> count()

Count the number of records in this stream by the grouped key into SessionWindows. Records with null key or value are ignored.

Not all updates might get sent downstream, as an internal cache is used to deduplicate consecutive updates to the same window and key. The rate of propagated updates depends on your input data rate, the number of distinct keys, the number of parallel running Kafka Streams instances, and the configuration parameters for cache size, and commit intervall.

Returns:

a windowed KTable that contains "update" records with unmodified keys and Long values that represent the latest (rolling) count (i.e., number of records) for each key within a window

count

KTable<Windowed<K>,java.lang.Long> count(Materialized<K,java.lang.Long,SessionStore<org.apache.kafka.common.utils.Bytes,byte[]>> materialized)

Count the number of records in this stream by the grouped key into SessionWindows. Records with null key or value are ignored. The result is written into a local SessionStore (which is basically an ever-updating materialized view) that can be queried using the name provided with Materialized.

Not all updates might get sent downstream, as an internal cache will be used to deduplicate consecutive updates to the same window and key if caching is enabled on the Materialized instance. When caching is enabled the rate of propagated updates depends on your input data rate, the number of distinct keys, the number of parallel running Kafka Streams instances, and the configuration parameters for cache size, and commit intervall

To query the local windowed KeyValueStore it must be obtained via KafkaStreams#store(...).

 KafkaStreams streams = ... // compute sum
 Sting queryableStoreName = ... // the queryableStoreName should be the name of the store as defined by the Materialized instance
 ReadOnlySessionStore<String,Long> localWindowStore = streams.store(queryableStoreName, QueryableStoreTypes.<String, Long>ReadOnlySessionStore<String, Long>);
 String key = "some-key";
 KeyValueIterator<Windowed<String>, Long> sumForKeyForWindows = localWindowStore.fetch(key); // key must be local (application state is shared over all running Kafka Streams instances)
 

For non-local keys, a custom RPC mechanism must be implemented using KafkaStreams.allMetadata() to query the value of the key on a parallel running instance of your Kafka Streams application.

Parameters:

materialized - an instance of Materialized used to materialize a state store. Cannot be null. Note: the valueSerde will be automatically set to Serdes.Long() if there is no valueSerde provided

Returns:

a windowed KTable that contains "update" records with unmodified keys and Long values that represent the latest (rolling) count (i.e., number of records) for each key within a window

aggregate

<VR> KTable<Windowed<K>,VR> aggregate(Initializer<VR> initializer,
                                      Aggregator<? super K,? super V,VR> aggregator,
                                      Merger<? super K,VR> sessionMerger)

Aggregate the values of records in this stream by the grouped key and defined SessionWindows. Records with null key or value are ignored. Aggregating is a generalization of combining via reduce(...) as it, for example, allows the result to have a different type than the input values.

The specified Initializer is applied once per session directly before the first input record is processed to provide an initial intermediate aggregation result that is used to process the first record. The specified Aggregator is applied for each input record and computes a new aggregate using the current aggregate (or for the very first record using the intermediate aggregation result provided via the Initializer) and the record's value. The specified Merger is used to merge 2 existing sessions into one, i.e., when the windows overlap, they are merged into a single session and the old sessions are discarded. Thus, aggregate(Initializer, Aggregator, Merger) can be used to compute aggregate functions like count (c.f. count())

The default value serde from config will be used for serializing the result. If a different serde is required then you should use aggregate(Initializer, Aggregator, Merger, Materialized).

Not all updates might get sent downstream, as an internal cache is used to deduplicate consecutive updates to the same window and key. The rate of propagated updates depends on your input data rate, the number of distinct keys, the number of parallel running Kafka Streams instances, and the configuration parameters for cache size, and commit intervall.

Type Parameters:

VR - the value type of the resulting KTable

Parameters:

initializer - the instance of Initializer

aggregator - the instance of Aggregator

sessionMerger - the instance of Merger

Returns:

a windowed KTable that contains "update" records with unmodified keys, and values that represent the latest (rolling) aggregate for each key within a window

aggregate

<VR> KTable<Windowed<K>,VR> aggregate(Initializer<VR> initializer,
                                      Aggregator<? super K,? super V,VR> aggregator,
                                      Merger<? super K,VR> sessionMerger,
                                      Materialized<K,VR,SessionStore<org.apache.kafka.common.utils.Bytes,byte[]>> materialized)

Aggregate the values of records in this stream by the grouped key and defined SessionWindows. Records with null key or value are ignored. The result is written into a local SessionStore (which is basically an ever-updating materialized view) that can be queried using the name provided with Materialized. Aggregating is a generalization of combining via reduce(...) as it, for example, allows the result to have a different type than the input values.

The specified Initializer is applied once per session directly before the first input record is processed to provide an initial intermediate aggregation result that is used to process the first record. The specified Aggregator is applied for each input record and computes a new aggregate using the current aggregate (or for the very first record using the intermediate aggregation result provided via the Initializer) and the record's value. * The specified Merger is used to merge 2 existing sessions into one, i.e., when the windows overlap, they are merged into a single session and the old sessions are discarded. Thus, aggregate(Initializer, Aggregator, Merger) can be used to compute aggregate functions like count (c.f. count())

Not all updates might get sent downstream, as an internal cache will be used to deduplicate consecutive updates to the same window and key if caching is enabled on the Materialized instance. When caching is enabled the rate of propagated updates depends on your input data rate, the number of distinct keys, the number of parallel running Kafka Streams instances, and the configuration parameters for cache size, and commit intervall

KafkaStreams#store(...).

 KafkaStreams streams = ... // some windowed aggregation on value type double
 Sting queryableStoreName = ... // the queryableStoreName should be the name of the store as defined by the Materialized instance
 ReadOnlySessionStore<String, Long> sessionStore = streams.store(queryableStoreName, QueryableStoreTypes.<String, Long>sessionStore());
 String key = "some-key";
 KeyValueIterator<Windowed<String>, Long> aggForKeyForSession = localWindowStore.fetch(key); // key must be local (application state is shared over all running Kafka Streams instances)
 

Type Parameters:

VR - the value type of the resulting KTable

Parameters:

initializer - the instance of Initializer

aggregator - the instance of Aggregator

sessionMerger - the instance of Merger

materialized - an instance of Materialized used to materialize a state store. Cannot be null

Returns:

a windowed KTable that contains "update" records with unmodified keys, and values that represent the latest (rolling) aggregate for each key within a window

reduce

KTable<Windowed<K>,V> reduce(Reducer<V> reducer)

Combine values of this stream by the grouped key into SessionWindows. Records with null key or value are ignored. Combining implies that the type of the aggregate result is the same as the type of the input value (c.f. aggregate(Initializer, Aggregator, Merger)). The result is written into a local SessionStore (which is basically an ever-updating materialized view).

The specified Reducer is applied for each input record and computes a new aggregate using the current aggregate and the record's value. If there is no current aggregate the Reducer is not applied and the new aggregate will be the record's value as-is. Thus, reduce(Reducer) can be used to compute aggregate functions like sum, min, or max.

Not all updates might get sent downstream, as an internal cache is used to deduplicate consecutive updates to the same window and key. The rate of propagated updates depends on your input data rate, the number of distinct keys, the number of parallel running Kafka Streams instances, and the configuration parameters for cache size, and commit intervall.

Parameters:

reducer - a Reducer that computes a new aggregate result. Cannot be null.

Returns:

a windowed KTable that contains "update" records with unmodified keys, and values that represent the latest (rolling) aggregate for each key within a window

reduce

KTable<Windowed<K>,V> reduce(Reducer<V> reducer,
                             Materialized<K,V,SessionStore<org.apache.kafka.common.utils.Bytes,byte[]>> materializedAs)

Combine values of this stream by the grouped key into SessionWindows. Records with null key or value are ignored. Combining implies that the type of the aggregate result is the same as the type of the input value (c.f. aggregate(Initializer, Aggregator, Merger)). The result is written into a local SessionStore (which is basically an ever-updating materialized view) provided by the given Materialized instance.

The specified Reducer is applied for each input record and computes a new aggregate using the current aggregate (first argument) and the record's value (second argument):

 // At the example of a Reducer<Long>
 new Reducer<Long>() {
   public Long apply(Long aggValue, Long currValue) {
     return aggValue + currValue;
   }
 }
 

If there is no current aggregate the Reducer is not applied and the new aggregate will be the record's value as-is. Thus, reduce(Reducer, Materialized) can be used to compute aggregate functions like sum, min, or max.

Not all updates might get sent downstream, as an internal cache will be used to deduplicate consecutive updates to the same window and key if caching is enabled on the Materialized instance. When caching is enabled the rate of propagated updates depends on your input data rate, the number of distinct keys, the number of parallel running Kafka Streams instances, and the configuration parameters for cache size, and commit intervall

To query the local windowed KeyValueStore it must be obtained via KafkaStreams#store(...).

 KafkaStreams streams = ... // compute sum
 Sting queryableStoreName = ... // the queryableStoreName should be the name of the store as defined by the Materialized instance
 ReadOnlySessionStore<String,Long> localWindowStore = streams.store(queryableStoreName, QueryableStoreTypes.<String, Long>ReadOnlySessionStore<String, Long>);
 String key = "some-key";
 KeyValueIterator<Windowed<String>, Long> sumForKeyForWindows = localWindowStore.fetch(key); // key must be local (application state is shared over all running Kafka Streams instances)
 

For non-local keys, a custom RPC mechanism must be implemented using KafkaStreams.allMetadata() to query the value of the key on a parallel running instance of your Kafka Streams application.

For failure and recovery the store will be backed by an internal changelog topic that will be created in Kafka. Therefore, the store name must be a valid Kafka topic name and cannot contain characters other than ASCII alphanumerics, '.', '_' and '-'. The changelog topic will be named "${applicationId}-${queryableStoreName}-changelog", where "applicationId" is user-specified in StreamsConfig via parameter APPLICATION_ID_CONFIG, "queryableStoreName" is the provide queryableStoreName, and "-changelog" is a fixed suffix. You can retrieve all generated internal topic names via KafkaStreams.toString().

Parameters:

reducer - a Reducer that computes a new aggregate result. Cannot be null.

materializedAs - an instance of Materialized used to materialize a state store. Cannot be null

Returns:

a windowed KTable that contains "update" records with unmodified keys, and values that represent the latest (rolling) aggregate for each key within a window
