Apache Kafka - Real-time Stream Processing (Master Class) - Section Summary and References "States and Stores"

The video tutorial discusses the importance of processor states in real-time stream processing applications, highlighting Kafka's implementation of a fault-tolerant local state store using Rocksdb. It explains how even in-memory state stores are backed up in Kafka topics, ensuring data safety. The tutorial also covers the need for stream redistribution and introduces various APIs, including processor APIs and streams DSL. Future sections will delve deeper into these topics, offering a comprehensive understanding of stream processing techniques.
