> We want to provide some REPL-like pattern for users for better debuggability. 
> More concretely, we want to allow users to easily inspect their intermediate 
> data streams in the topology while running the application. Theoretically 
> this can be done by using a break point, or by calling System.out.println() 
> inside the operator, or through a finer grained trace-level logging. But more 
> user-friendly API would be to add a print() function to the KStream / KTable 
> object like:
> {code}
> // Prints the elements in this stream to the stdout, i.e. "System.out" of the 
> JVM
> KStream#print(/* optional serde */);  
> KTable#print(/* optional serde */);  
> // Writes the stream as text file(s) to the specified location.
> KStream#writeAsText(String filePath, /* optional serde */);
> KTable#writeAsText(String filePath, /* optional serde */);
> {code}
