> Variance changes introduced in KIP-100 cause compilation failures with lambda expression in Java 8.
> To my knowledge this only affects methods taking suppliers of functions
> KStreams.transform(TransformerSupplier<...>, String...)
> KStreams.transformValues(ValueTransformerSupplier<...>)
> prior to the changes it was possible to write
> streams.transform(MyTransformer::new)
> streams.transformValues(MyValueTransformer::new)
> where MyTransformer and MyValueTransformer extend Transformer and ValueTransformer respectively.
> After the changes the Java compiler is unable to infer correct return types for the lambda expression.
