The change logger is not used during restoration of the in-memory-store. Restoration is handled https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/0.11.0/streams/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/streams/state/internals/InMemoryKeyValueStore.java#L79
But, even then it is just putting `null` when it should be deleting it.
