Review Comment:
   I would prefer to "flip" the check:
   ```
   this.isManualInternalTopicConfig = 
StreamsConfig.INTERNAL_TOPIC_SETUP_MANUAL.equals(
                                          
streamsConfig.getString(StreamsConfig.INTERNAL_TOPIC_SETUP_CONFIG)
                                      );
   ```
   
   The advantage is, that we know that `INTERNAL_TOPIC_SETUP_MANUAL` is never 
`null`, so there no risk of a NPE. On the other hand, if 
`streamsConfig.getString(StreamsConfig.INTERNAL_TOPIC_SETUP_CONFIG)` would 
return `null` (what we still guard against, but this guard is weaker) we cannot 
call `equals()` on the `null` reference and crash.
   
   As a rule of thumb: I alway prefer to use `<constant>.equals(<variable>)` 
instead of `<variable>.equals(<constant>)` to guard against NPE.
