Can I JOIN directly on a SOURCE in RisingWave or must I materialize the source first?

I am wondering if I can perform a JOIN directly on a SOURCE in RisingWave or if I need to materialize the source in order for the data to be available for future JOIN operations.

  • Yes, you can create a JOIN on a SOURCE in RisingWave without the need to materialize the source first.
  • When you create a JOIN in a materialized view, RisingWave will ingest historical data from the source and maintain the view with future data from the source.
  • The historical data will be ingested into the system only once.
  • New data streamed to the source will trigger updates on the materialized views that include the JOIN operation.
  • RisingWave has dependencies on materialized views, ensuring consistent refresh of dependent MVs.
  • Currently, RisingWave does not support predicates on creating sources directly, but you can create a source first and then apply a time filter in a materialized view.
