Packaging and releasing Java applications (e.g. CLI) tend to be cumbersome, and the user-experience tended not to be the best as users have to download a valid version of JRE, etc.

While proposing changes to Kafka Streams DSL, I propose changing the return type of one method from void to KStream<KOut, VOut. I was under the (wrong) impression that this change wouldn’t affect users. I was also not considering that applications might just drop a new library without recompiling their application.

TIL there is a drop-in replacement for log4j 1.x: Reload4j.
