----------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Bill Bejeck)
> Explain `null` handling for reduce and aggregate
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-7492
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7492
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation, streams
> Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: beginner, docs, newbie
>
> We currently don't explain how records with `null` value are handled in
> reduce and aggregate. In particular, what happens when the users'
> aggregation/reduce `apply()` implementation returns `null`.
> We should update the JavaDocs accordingly and maybe also update the docs on
> the web page.
