=== Functional Kafka Streams Applications
With 2.2.0.RELEASE, Kafka Streams binder supports the ability to write applications by creating java.util.function.Function or java.util.consumer.Consumer beans.
In this section, we will see the details of how the functional support work in the binder.
The above `StreamListener` based model can be converted as below.
[source]
----
@SpringBootApplication
@EnableBinding(KafkaStreamsProcessor.class)
public class WordCountProcessorApplication {
@Bean
public Function<KStream<?, String>, KStream<?, WordCount>> process() {
return input ->
input
.flatMapValues(value -> Arrays.asList(value.toLowerCase().split("\\W+")))
.groupBy((key, value) -> value)
.windowedBy(TimeWindows.of(5000))
.count(Materialized.as("WordCounts-multi"))
.toStream()
.map((key, value) -> new KeyValue<>(null, new WordCount(key.key(), value, new Date(key.window().start()), new Date(key.window().end()))));
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(WordCountProcessorApplication.class, args);
}
----
The input will be received from the input binding defined in the `KafkaStreamsProcessor` interface and the output will be sent to the output binding.
If the processor does not send any data on the outbound, then this becomes a plain Consumer bean as below.
[source]
----
@Bean
public Consumer<KStream<?, String>> process() {
return input ->
....
}
----
Applications are free to define custom bindings and use that instead of the out of the box `KafkaStreamsProcessor` interface.
==== Functions with multiple input bindings
With `StreamListener`, we define multiple `Input` bindings and then later on use them as inputs in the method.
With the functions approach, we still need to define those bindings in the binding interface. However, it cannot be used in the same way as in a `StreamListener` method.
We use curried functions to represent multiple input destinations in the same processor.
For instance, if a function has 2 inputs, the application define 2 partial functions in the function bean method. Lets see some examples.
[source]
----
@Bean
public Function<KStream<String, Long>,
Function<KTable<String, String>, KStream<String, Long>>> process() {
return userClicksStream ->
(userRegionsTable ->
(userClicksStream
.leftJoin(userRegionsTable, (clicks, region) -> new RegionWithClicks(region == null ?
"UNKNOWN" : region, clicks),
Joined.with(Serdes.String(), Serdes.Long(), null))
.map((user, regionWithClicks) -> new KeyValue<>(regionWithClicks.getRegion(),
regionWithClicks.getClicks()))
.groupByKey(Serialized.with(Serdes.String(), Serdes.Long()))
.reduce((firstClicks, secondClicks) -> firstClicks + secondClicks)
.toStream()));
}
----
In the above function bean, there are 2 inputs and one input. The function that returns from the method takes a `KStream` as input, but if you look at the output that is another function
which takes a `KTable` as its input. The output of this second function is a `KStream` which becomes the output of the procesor.
Both inputs are available as references in the method body and the applications can perform various operations on them.
In this example we use function currying on two partial functions.
One thing to keep in mind is that the input bindings must follow a natural order of sorting when you have multiple input bindings, otherwise the binder won't know which binding to bind for the various function inputs.
Here is the corresponding binding interface for the above processor.
[source]
----
interface KStreamKTableProcessor {
@Input("input-1")
KStream<?, ?> input1();
@Input("input-2")
KTable<?, ?> input2();
@Output("output")
KStream<?, ?> output();
}
----
If you look at the 2 inputs, there is a natural sorting order - i.e. input-1 goes to the first partial function input and input-2 goes to the second partial function.
Here is another example that shows multiple inputs with GlobalKTable.
[source]
----
@Bean
public Function<KStream<Long, Order>,
Function<GlobalKTable<Long, Customer>,
Function<GlobalKTable<Long, Product>, KStream<Long, EnrichedOrder>>>> process() {
return orderStream -> (
customers -> (
products -> (
orderStream.join(customers,
(orderId, order) -> order.getCustomerId(),
(order, customer) -> new CustomerOrder(customer, order))
.join(products,
(orderId, customerOrder) -> customerOrder
.productId(),
(customerOrder, product) -> {
EnrichedOrder enrichedOrder = new EnrichedOrder();
enrichedOrder.setProduct(product);
enrichedOrder.setCustomer(customerOrder.customer);
enrichedOrder.setOrder(customerOrder.order);
return enrichedOrder;
})
)
)
);
}
----
Here we have 3 inputs. The first function takes a `KStream` and its output is another `Function` that takes a `GlobalKTable` as its input and another function as its output.
This last function takes another `GlobalKTable` as its input and a `KStream` is provided as this function's output which will be used as the processor's output.
In this example, we have three curried functions. Behind the scenes, the binder will call the `apply` method on those functions in the order that they appear.
Here is the corresponding binding interface for this application.
[source]
----
interface CustomGlobalKTableProcessor {
@Input("input-1")
KStream<?, ?> input1();
@Input("input-2")
GlobalKTable<?, ?> input2();
@Input("input-3")
GlobalKTable<?, ?> input3();
@Output("output")
KStream<?, ?> output();
}
----
Here also, the input bindings follow a natural order.
==== Multiple functions in the same application
Multiple functions aan be defined in the same application.
When doing this, the binder will do a natural sorting on multiple function bean names first and then apply input and output bindings on them in the natural order.
Consider the following two function beans in the same application.
[source]
----
@Bean
public Function<KStream<?, String>, KStream<?, WordCount>> process1() {
}
@Bean
public Function<KStream<?, String>, KStream<?, WordCount>> process2() {
}
----
Consider also the following binding interface.
[source]
----
interface Bindings {
@Input("input-1")
KStream<?, ?> input1();
@Input("input-2")
KStream<?, ?> input2();
@Ouput("output-1")
KStream<?, ?> output1();
@Output("output-2")
KStream<?, ?> output1();
}
----
Binder will first take the method `process1` and use input binding `input-1` and output binding `output-1`.
Similarly, for the method `process2`, it will use input binding `input-2` and output binding `output-2`.
==== Using custom state stores in functional applications
You can define custom state stores as beans in your application and those will be detected and added to the Streams builder by the binder.
Note that, for regular StreamListener based processors, you still need to use the `KafkaStreamsStateStore` annotation for custom state stores.
Here is an example of using custom state stores with functional style.
[source]
----
@Bean
public StoreBuilder myStore() {
return Stores.keyValueStoreBuilder(
Stores.persistentKeyValueStore("my-store"), Serdes.Long(),
Serdes.Long());
}
@Bean
public StoreBuilder otherStore() {
return Stores.windowStoreBuilder(
Stores.persistentWindowStore("other-store",
1L, 3, 3L, false), Serdes.Long(),
Serdes.Long());
}
----
These state stores can be then accessed by the applications directly.
