or because a parent processor called forward(Record)
.
In the case of a punctuation, there is no source record, so this metadata would be
undefined. Note that when a punctuator invokes forward(Record)
,
downstream processors will receive the forwarded record as a regular
Processor.process(Record)
invocation. In other words, it wouldn't be apparent to
downstream processors whether or not the record being processed came from an input topic
or punctuation and therefore whether or not this metadata is defined. This is why
the return type of this method is Optional
.
If there is any possibility of punctuators upstream, any access
to this field should consider the case of
"recordMetadata().isPresent() == false
".
Of course, it would be safest to always guard this condition.

processing} to
schedule a periodic callback — called a punctuation — to Punctuator.punctuate(long)
.
The type parameter controls what notion of time is used for punctuation:
PunctuationType.STREAM_TIME
— uses "stream time", which is advanced by the processing of messages
in accordance with the timestamp as extracted by the TimestampExtractor
in use.
The first punctuation will be triggered by the first record that is processed.
NOTE: Only advanced if messages arrivePunctuationType.WALL_CLOCK_TIME
— uses system time (the wall-clock time),
which is advanced independent of whether new messages arrive.
The first punctuation will be triggered after interval has elapsed.

Note that the forwarded Record
is shared between the parent and child
processors. And of course, the parent may forward the same object to multiple children,
and the child may forward it to grandchildren, etc. Therefore, you should be mindful
of mutability.
The Record
class itself is immutable (all the setter-style methods return an
independent copy of the instance). However, the key, value, and headers referenced by
the Record may themselves be mutable.
Some programs may opt to make use of this mutability for high performance, in which case
the input record may be mutated and then forwarded by each Processor
. However,
most applications should instead favor safety.
Forwarding records safely simply means to make a copy of the record before you mutate it.
This is trivial when using the Record.withKey(Object)
, Record.withValue(Object)
,
and Record.withTimestamp(long)
methods, as each of these methods make a copy of the
record as a matter of course. But a little extra care must be taken with headers, since
the Header
class is mutable. The easiest way to
safely handle headers is to use the Record
constructors to make a copy before
modifying headers.
In other words, this would be considered unsafe:
process(Record inputRecord) {
inputRecord.headers().add(...);
context.forward(inputRecord);
}
This is unsafe because the parent, and potentially siblings, grandparents, etc.,
all will see this modification to their shared Headers reference. This is a violation
of causality and could lead to undefined behavior.
A safe usage would look like this:
process(Record inputRecord) {
// makes a copy of the headers
Record toForward = inputRecord.withHeaders(inputRecord.headers());
// Other options to create a safe copy are:
// * use any copy-on-write method, which makes a copy of all fields:
// toForward = inputRecord.withValue();
// * explicitly copy all fields:
// toForward = new Record(inputRecord.key(), inputRecord.value(), inputRecord.timestamp(), inputRecord.headers());
// * create a fresh, empty Headers:
// toForward = new Record(inputRecord.key(), inputRecord.value(), inputRecord.timestamp());
// * etc.
// now, we are modifying our own independent copy of the headers.
toForward.headers().add(...);
context.forward(toForward);
}

Map<String,Object> appConfigs()
The config properties are defined in the StreamsConfig
object and associated to the ProcessorContext.
The type of the values is dependent on the type
of the property
(e.g. the value of DEFAULT_KEY_SERDE_CLASS_CONFIG
will be of type Class
, even if it was specified as a String to
StreamsConfig(Map)
).
