Description

Describe the bug
When both export and stream is enabled, and DocumentDB database or collection is invalid or collection doesn't contain any records, the DocumentDB source fails start stream processing or fails to recover when database or collection is created. Since the collection has no records, all new updates should be synced through stream. Currently the export partition worker job is stuck waiting for partitions. The stream job is stuck waiting for export to be complete. This is a corner case we should handle

Expected behavior
The stream job should not wait if there are no records to export and stream job should process when new change events are available.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: [e.g. Ubuntu 20.04 LTS]
  • Version [e.g. 22]

Research direction

Start by tracing the DocumentDB source's export partition worker and stream job behavior when the database or collection is invalid or empty. Reproduce the case with no records, then verify that the stream job does not wait for export and processes newly available change events.
