Xavier Léauté updated KAFKA-4672: --------------------------------- Description: Variance changes introduced in KIP-100 cause compilation failures with lambda expression in Java 8. To my knowledge this only affects the following method {{KStreams.transform(TransformerSupplier<...>, String...)}} prior to the changes it was possible to write {{streams.transform(MyTransformer::new)}} where {{MyTransformer}} extends {{Transformer}}. After the changes the Java compiler is unable to infer correct return types for the lambda expression. was: Variance changes introduced in KIP-100 cause compilation failures with lambda expression in Java 8.
