Matthias J. Sax updated KAFKA-4217:
-----------------------------------
Description:
{{KStream.transform}} gives you access to state stores while allowing you to
return zero or one transformed {{KeyValue}}. Alas, it is unclear what method
you should use if you want to access state stores and return zero or multiple
{{KeyValue}}. Presumably you can use {{transform}}, always return {{null}},
and use {{ProcessorContext.forward}} to emit {{KeyValues}}.
It may be good to introduce a {{transform}}-like {{flatMap}} equivalent, or
allow store access from other {{KStream}} methods, such as {{flatMap}} itself.
