Kafka Streams works based on topologies. It relies on the fact that the exact same topology is present on all instances of a KS app. This means that the order of topology nodes must be identical.
For the vulnerability-analyzer, users can enable or disable individual scanners. Only enabled scanners will be added to the topology on startup.
Scanners are CDI beans, and we inject all of them via
Instance
.Instance
can contain zero or more beans.Scanners are added to the topology by iterating over the
Instance
bean. The problem here is that the order of the beans inInstance
is not guaranteed. It could happen that instance A of the service added scanners in the order 123, whereas instance B added them in order 213.A symptom of this problem is the following exception, followed by a shutdown of Kafka Streams:
Sorting the beans before adding them to the topology resolved the issue.
