Yes, I think the key distinction, from the point of view of that documentation section, is that it doesn't have downstream processors.

Hi Michal,

In this case Sink Processor is really referring to a SinkNode that can only produce to a kafka topic. Maybe the terminology is incorrect as strictly speaking a processor that writes data to anything could be considered a Sink Processor.

    Hi all,

    Streams docs say:

      * *Sink Processor*: A sink processor is a special type of
        stream processor that does not have down-stream processors.
        It sends any received records from its up-stream processors
        to a specified Kafka topic.

    Would a processor that doesn't produce to a kafka topic (directly)
    but only updates a state store also be considered a sink
    processor? I think yes.

    I'll submit a PR to that effect unless I hear otherwise.

    Cheers,

    MichaƂ
