Splitting Two Streams with ksqlDB

You can perform the inverse of merging streams with ksqlDB: you can split them. By specifying a predicate on a field in the data, you can route messages to different target streams.

Take the example of a stream of orders for all countries:

orders-for-all-countries

You may want to split these orders for country-specific processing:

orders-combined

To do this in ksqlDB, use SQL statements with appropriate predicates:

CREATE STREAM ORDERS_US AS
   SELECT * FROM ORDERS_COMBINED
   WHERE SOURCE = 'US';

CREATE STREAM ORDERS_UK AS
   SELECT * FROM ORDERS_COMBINED
   WHERE SOURCE = 'UK';

CREATE STREAM ORDERS_OTHER AS
   SELECT * FROM ORDERS_COMBINED
   WHERE SOURCE != 'US'
   AND SOURCE != 'UK';
