> Consider the following code-snippet that invokes graph.getInputStream 
> multiple times with the same streamId (but with different Message Builders).
> {code}
>     BiFunction<String, String, String> msgBuilder1 = (k, v) -> v;
>     BiFunction<String, String, Integer> msgBuilder2 = (k, v) -> new 
> Integer(v);
>    graph.getInputStream("page-views", msgBuilder2);
>     MessageStream<String> pageViews1 = graph.getInputStream("page-views", 
> msgBuilder1);
>    pageViews1.map(..)
>                       .filter(..)
>                       .window(..)
>                       .sink(..)
> {code}
> TL;DR:
> The above snippet could result in messages not being propagated to the 
> operator chain depending on the iteration order of Java Hashmaps. 
> *Here is the exact sequence:*
> 1. User creates two `MessageStream`s by multiple calls to 
> `graph.getInputStream()` with the same streamId but different MessageBuilders.
> 2. This invokes StreamGraphImpl#getInputStream, which obtains a StreamSpec 
> instance for the streamId and adds it to its map.
> 3. During the wire-up of the physical DAG in `StreamOperatorTask`, 
> streamGraph.getInputStreams().forEach((streamSpec, inputStream)` is invoked.
> 4. Depending on the iteration order in which 
> `streamGraph.getInputStreams().forEach((streamSpec, inputStream)` returns its 
> results, we could end up with a different representation of the DAG (with the 
> latest streamSpec clobbering it's previous one).
> There are 2 approaches to solve this:
> *Approach 1:*
> Add additional validation to prevent this scenario from happening. We will 
> validate multiple calls made to `graph.getInputStream` with the same 
> streamId, and throw an IllegalArgumentException.
> *Approach 2:*
> Maintain a `MultiMap` instead of a `HashMap` so that the latest `StreamSpec` 
> does not clobber the earlier one.
