Hi, I've just found that KafkaStreams.toString [1] is deprecated, but I think that it does not make sense.
The parameterless toString is simply part of the java.lang.Object contract and I don't think it could ever get deprecated (unless it is by Object). I think it'd be much better if the method used whatever it's recommended for a toString-like functionality (which seems that KafkaStreams.localThreadsMetadata [2] is or something based on that). Thoughts? p.s. I also think that since KafkaStreams is marked as @InterfaceStability.Evolving using @Deprecated markers does not add much if anything. I thought that Evolving was to say that literally everything could change without warning at any time, couldn't it?
