Review comment:
       Ya I see your point here. From the existing payload implementations 
`precombine` either returned `this` or `other` so this seemed fine. But if 
there was other payloads being used with merging behavior, default `HoodieKey` 
would be set to `rec2.getKey()`. This could be solved by regenerating key here, 
but there would be performance cost
