             Summary: NullPointerException on KStream-GlobalKTable leftJoin when KeyValueMapper returns null
                 Key: KAFKA-6378
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6378
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: streams
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Andy Bryant


On a Stream->GlobalKTable leftJoin if the KeyValueMapper returns null, the stream fails with a NullPointerException (see stacktrace below). On Kafka 0.11.0.0 the stream processes this successfully, calling the ValueJoiner with the table value set to null.

The use-case for this is joining a stream to a table containing reference data where the stream foreign key may be null. There is no straight-forward workaround in this case with Kafka 1.0.0 without having to resort to either generating a key that will never match or branching the stream for records that don't have the foreign key.
