Matthias J. Sax updated KAFKA-14748:
------------------------------------
Description:
Kafka Streams enforces a strict non-null-key policy in the DSL across all
key-dependent operations (like aggregations and joins).
This also applies to FK-joins, in particular to the ForeignKeyExtractor. If it
returns `null`, it's treated as invalid. For left-joins, it might make sense to
still accept a `null`, and add the left-hand record with an empty
right-hand-side to the result.
