[Fast Data] avoid SV update when no actual changes happens

[Noste92]

What product are you having troubles with?

Fast Data

What Console version are you using?

Old RTU Library

Description

Hello,

I have a question related to the ingestion step of Fast Data. I have tested this behavior with an old version of the Real Time Updater libraries and I like to have some more information about it.

When a new message comes to Kafka related to a specific a Projection it triggers the Fast Data flow to update a the Projection on MongoDB and the related Single View.
but if the Projection doesn't really update (I mean all the fields are the same) I think the update is triggered as well.
Do you think is there a way to avoid these updates? Or another way to approach this problem?

Hi, could you please provide us the version of Real-Time Updater service your're referring to? Why do you consider it as a library?

Furthermore, could you please expand on the business case that requires to introduce this change in the product?

Note: currently both Real-Time Updater and Projection Storer services process all the CDC change events in the same manner, independently from the fact that a record has the same values of the one that were previously saved. In theory, Change Data Capture systems send change events only when a record is inserted, modified or deleted.
