ContextualFixedKeyProcessor

public interface FixedKeyProcessor<KIn,VIn,VOut>

A processor of key-value pair records where keys are immutable.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default void	close()	Close this processor and clean up any resources.
default void	init(FixedKeyProcessorContext<KIn,VOut> context)	Initialize this processor with the given context.
void	process(FixedKeyRecord<KIn,VIn> record)	Process the record.

Method Details

init

default void init(FixedKeyProcessorContext<KIn,VOut> context)

Initialize this processor with the given context. The framework ensures this is called once per processor when the topology that contains it is initialized. When the framework is done with the processor, close() will be called on it; the framework may later re-use the processor by calling #init() again.

The provided context can be used to access topology and record metadata, to schedule a method to be called periodically and to access attached StateStores.

Parameters:

context - the context; may not be null

process

void process(FixedKeyRecord<KIn,VIn> record)

Process the record. Note that record metadata is undefined in cases such as a forward call from a punctuator.

Parameters:

record - the record to process

close

default void close()

Close this processor and clean up any resources. Be aware that #close() is called after an internal cleanup. Thus, it is not possible to write anything to Kafka as underlying clients are already closed. The framework may later re-use this processor by calling #init() on it again.

Note: Do not close any streams managed resources, like StateStores here, as they are managed by the library.
