Hi! 👋 Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂 Today I used [patch-package](https://github.com/ds300/patch-package) to patch `kafka-streams@5.0.0` for the project I'm working on. Here is the diff that solved my problem: ```diff diff --git a/node_modules/kafka-streams/lib/dsl/StreamDSL.js b/node_modules/kafka-streams/lib/dsl/StreamDSL.js index 730c871..94a2dd0 100644 --- a/node_modules/kafka-streams/lib/dsl/StreamDSL.js +++ b/node_modules/kafka-streams/lib/dsl/StreamDSL.js @@ -475,7 +475,7 @@ class StreamDSL { return object; } - if (Buffer.isBuffer(object.key)) { + if (!Buffer.isBuffer(object.key)) { return object; } ``` <em>This issue body was [partially generated by patch-package](https://github.com/ds300/patch-package/issues/296).</em>
