*More detailed description of your change, if necessary. The PR title and PR message become the squashed commit message, so use a separate comment to ping reviewers.* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61790984/kafka-stream-forward-method-throwing-nullpointerexception-because-processornode/61978396) User provided ProcessorSupplier may have change to always return the same instance. Multiple ProcessorContext tried to register in a same processor instance, but processor instance could only have one ProcessorContext to callback. So the time StreamThread who owns each ProcessorContext dispatch records to processor instance and callback somewhere else(not its thread local ProcessorContext). And it led to inconsistency. Wrong samples here: ``` .addProcessor("Process", () -> fileExtractProcessorObject , "sourceProcessor") ``` So this commit * check violation of our **Supplier** pattern during initialization. * improve java docs * add a section in official docucment to explicitly remind users *Summary of testing strategy (including rationale) for the feature or bug fix. Unit and/or integration tests are expected for any behaviour change and system tests should be considered for larger changes.* Unit tests should remains same behaviors as before except for wrong usages. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
