public interface RecordMetadata
  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    long
    Return the offset of the current input record; could be -1 if it is not available.
    int
    Return the partition id of the current input record; could be -1 if it is not available.
    Return the topic name of the current input record; could be null if it is not available.
  • Method Details

    • topic

      String topic()
      Return the topic name of the current input record; could be null if it is not available.

      For example, if this method is invoked within a punctuation callback, or while processing a record that was forwarded by a punctuation callback, the record won't have an associated topic. Another example is KTable.transformValues(ValueTransformerWithKeySupplier, String...) (and siblings), that do not always guarantee to provide a valid topic name, as they might be executed "out-of-band" due to some internal optimizations applied by the Kafka Streams DSL.

      Returns:
      the topic name
    • partition

      int partition()
      Return the partition id of the current input record; could be -1 if it is not available.

      For example, if this method is invoked within a punctuation callback, or while processing a record that was forwarded by a punctuation callback, the record won't have an associated partition id. Another example is KTable.transformValues(ValueTransformerWithKeySupplier, String...) (and siblings), that do not always guarantee to provide a valid partition id, as they might be executed "out-of-band" due to some internal optimizations applied by the Kafka Streams DSL.

      Returns:
      the partition id
    • offset

      long offset()
      Return the offset of the current input record; could be -1 if it is not available.

      For example, if this method is invoked within a punctuation callback, or while processing a record that was forwarded by a punctuation callback, the record won't have an associated offset. Another example is KTable.transformValues(ValueTransformerWithKeySupplier, String...) (and siblings), that do not always guarantee to provide a valid offset, as they might be executed "out-of-band" due to some internal optimizations applied by the Kafka Streams DSL.

      Returns:
      the offset
