Just wanted to point out, as this JIRA contains a public API change, you will need to write a KIP: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Improvement+Proposals It should not be a big deal to write the KIP -- if you need any help, just let me know (matth...@confluent.io) and I can guide you through the process. was (Author: mjsax): [~sree2k] thanks for picking this up.

In such > cases, the actual key of the join is not available in the ValueJoiner > implementation to be used to construct the final joined value. This can be > worked around by explicitly threading the join key into the value if needed, > but it seems like extending the interface to pass the join key along as well > would be helpful. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
