(was: hey [~ableegoldman], i have started working on the KIP
[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=177047930]
and one of the things noticed is that the 2 deprecated configs in StreamsConfig
are also used in SessionWindowedDeserialiser. The KIP doesn't talk about that
class though and we didn't discuss it here or in the discuss thread. I believe,
I will need to include SessionWindowedDeserialiser class as well for my
changes, is that correct? Should I modify the KIP accordingly in that case?
The other part which is missing in the KiP is that the 2 deprecated configs are
also being used in TimeWindowedSerialiser and SessionWindowedSerialiser. In
that case, should we add a window.inner.class.serialiser config as well?)

> During the discussion of KIP-659 we discussed whether it made sense to have a
> "default" class for the serdes of windowed inner classes across Streams.
> Using these configs instead of specifying an actual Serde object can lead to
> subtle bugs, since the WindowedDeserializer requires a windowSize in addition
> to the inner class. If the default constructor is invoked, as it will be when
> falling back on the config, this windowSize defaults to MAX_VALUE.
> If the downstream program doesn't care about the window end time in the
> output, then this can go unnoticed and technically there is no problem. But
> if anything does depend on the end time, or the user just wants to manually
> read the output for testing purposes, then the MAX_VALUE will result in a
> garbage timestamp.
> We should consider whether the convenience of specifying a config instead of
> instantiating a Serde in each operator is really worth the risk of a user
> accidentally failing to specify a windowSize
