/**
 * End-to-end integration test that demonstrates how to remove duplicate records from an input
 * stream.
 *
 * Here, a stateful {@link org.apache.kafka.streams.kstream.Transformer} (from the Processor API)
 * detects and discards duplicate input records based on an "event id" that is embedded in each
 * input record.  This transformer is then included in a topology defined via the DSL.
 *
 * In this simplified example, the values of input records represent the event ID by which
 * duplicates will be detected.  In practice, record values would typically be a more complex data
 * structure, with perhaps one of the fields being such an event ID.  De-duplication by an event ID
 * is but one example of how to perform de-duplication in general.  The code example below can be
 * adapted to other de-duplication approaches.
 *
 * IMPORTANT:  Kafka including its Streams API support exactly-once semantics since version 0.11.
 * With this feature available, most use cases will no longer need to worry about duplicate messages
 * or duplicate processing.  That said, there will still be some use cases where you have your own
 * business rules that define when two events are considered to be "the same" and need to be
 * de-duplicated (e.g. two events having the same payload but different timestamps).  The example
 * below demonstrates how to implement your own business rules for event de-duplication.
 *
 * Note: This example uses lambda expressions and thus works with Java 8+ only.
