Summary: ValueMapper should have (read) access to key Key: KAFKA-4726 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4726 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: streams Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1 Reporter: Steven Schlansker {{ValueMapper}} should have read-only access to the key for the value it is mapping. Sometimes the value transformation will depend on the key. It is possible to do this with a full blown {{KeyValueMapper}} but that loses the promise that you won't change the key -- so you might introduce a re-keying phase that is totally unnecessary. [ If mapValues() is guaranteed to be no less efficient than map() the issue may be moot, but I presume there are some optimizations that are valid with the former but not latter. ] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
