Hi All, I added a remark about the repartition of null-key records. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-962%3A+Relax+non-null+key+requirement+in+Kafka+Streams#KIP962:RelaxnonnullkeyrequirementinKafkaStreams-Repartitionofnull-keyrecords
Can we relax this constraint for any kind of repartitioning or should it only be relaxed in the context of left stream-table and left/outer stream-stream joins?
