             Summary: Reduce Kafka Streams Footprint
                 Key: KAFKA-6761
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6761
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: streams
            Reporter: Bill Bejeck
            Assignee: Bill Bejeck
             Fix For: 1.2.0


The persistent storage footprint of a Kafka Streams application contains the following aspects:
 # The internal topics created on the Kafka cluster side.
 # The materialized state stores on the Kafka Streams application instances side.

There have been some questions about reducing these footprints, especially since many of them are not necessary. For example, there are redundant internal topics, as well as unnecessary state stores that takes up space but also affect performance. When people are pushing Streams to production with high traffic, this issue would be more common and severe. Reducing the footprint of Streams have clear benefits of Kafka Streams operations, and also for KSQL deployment resource utilization
