             Summary: queryMetadataForKey
                 Key: KAFKA-14070
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14070
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: streams
    Affects Versions: 3.2.0
            Reporter: Balaji Rao


When using key-value state stores with Processor API, one can add key-value 
state stores of arbitrary key types. This could lead to the method 
`queryMetadataForKey` in `KafkaStreams` to be used with incorrect expectations.

In my understanding, `queryMetadataForKey` uses the source topics of the 
processor connected to the store to return the `KeyQueryMetadata`. This means 
that it could provide "incorrect" answers when used with key-value stores of 
arbitrary key types. The description of the method should be improved to make 
users aware of this pitfall.
