Hi Ivan, Thanks for the KIP.
I have one question, the KafkaStreamsBrancher takes a Consumer as a second argument which returns nothing, and the example in the KIP shows each stream from the branch using a terminal node (KafkaStreams#to() in this case). Maybe I've missed something, but how would we handle the case where the user has created a branch but wants to continue processing and not necessarily use a terminal node on the branched stream immediately? For example, using today's logic as is if we had something like this: KStream<String, String>[] branches = originalStream.branch(predicate1, predicate2); branches[0].filter(....).mapValues(...).. branches[1].selectKey(...).groupByKey()..... Thanks!
