Bruno Cadonna commented on KAFKA-4217:
--------------------------------------
Is this issue still relevant? The docs ofÂ
[{{transform}}|https://kafka.apache.org/11/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/streams/kstream/KStream.html#transform-org.apache.kafka.streams.kstream.TransformerSupplier-java.lang.String...-]
say "Transform each record of the input stream into zero or more records in
the output stream", which sounds to me as if this issue has been already
resolved.
> KStream.transform equivalent of flatMap

> {{KStream.transform}} gives you access to state stores while allowing you to
> return zero or one transformed {{KeyValue}}. Alas, it is unclear what method
> you should use if you want to access state stores and return zero or multiple
> {{KeyValue}}. Presumably you can use {{transform}}, always return {{null}},
> and use {{ProcessorContext.forward}} to emit {{KeyValues}}.
> It may be good to introduce a {{transform}}-like {{flatMap}} equivalent, or
> allow store access from other {{KStream}} methods, such as {{flatMap}} itself.
