Description

Streams disables the write-ahead log (WAL) provided by RocksDB since it replicates the data in changelog topics. Hence, it does not make much sense to set WAL-related configs for RocksDB instances within Streams.

Streams could:

• disable WAL-related options
• ignore WAL-related options
• throw an exception when a WAL-related option is set.
