Kafka stream with Http request

I want to realize the next flow of kafka stream

from(kafka topic) -> transform (here should be http request) -> to (kafka topic)

Is it correct to set http request during tranformaton in kafka stream or its more correct to use standart consumer ?

It is possible but not recommended to do external requests within a transform() because the request would need to be synchronous and thus negatively impacts performance (ie, throughput).

However, if this is no concern for you it's no problem to do external request.
