   Geez, that is super confusing ( ;-) ). All I could tell from the docs (and my understanding of Kafka) is that the messages are always bytes which need to be properly converted to text (assuming it is text of course). I think that looks like a destructive test though since it assigns `value` to the result.
   
   There is some discussion in the #whisk-users channel about some data corruption. It was confirmed that the data is fine through Kafka (consumer shows right data) and obviously the action can be passed proper data and it looks fine. So this looked suspicious since it is the "middleman" here.
   
   The discussion is here: https://ibm-ics.slack.com/archives/C0BUS3JE8/p1534022249000007
