Matthias J. Sax updated KAFKA-4217:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
{{KStream.transform}} gives you access to state stores while allowing you to 
return zero or one transformed {{KeyValue}}.  Alas, it is unclear what method 
you should use if you want to access state stores and return zero or multiple 
{{KeyValue}}.  Presumably you can use {{transform}}, always return {{null}}, 
and use {{ProcessorContext.forward}} to emit {{KeyValues}}.

It may be good to introduce a {{transform}}-like {{flatMap}} equivalent, or 
allow store access from other {{KStream}} methods, such as {{flatMap}} itself.
