+ <p><b>CAUTION:</b> If you are using "merge repartition topics"
optimization, it is not recommended to use <code>KStream#processValues</code>
to avoid compatibility issues for future upgrades to newer versions of Kafka
Streams.
+ For more details, see the <a
href="/40/documentation/streams/developer-guide/dsl-api.htm#transformers-removal-and-migration-to-processors">migration
guide</a> in the Kafka Streams 4.0 docs.</p>
<p>The following example shows how to leverage, via the <code
class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">KStream#process()</span></code>
method, a custom <code class="docutils literal"><span
class="pre">Processor</span></code> that sends an
email notification whenever a page view count reaches a
predefined threshold.</p>
<p>First, we need to implement a custom stream processor,
<code class="docutils literal"><span
class="pre">PopularPageEmailAlert</span></code>, that implements the <code
class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Processor</span></code>
