KIP-372 — Naming Repartition Topics for Joins and Grouping
Accepted Kafka 2.1 Streams
Adds a named repartition topic API to Kafka Streams joins and grouping operations, allowing users to assign stable, user-defined names to internal repartition topics. Auto-generated repartition topic names include positional counters that shift when topology structure changes, causing Streams to create new topics and lose state when the application is updated.
