What will happen if you call readKeyValue() on an empty output topic in TopologyTestDriver?
AIt returns a default empty key-value pair
BIt throws a NoSuchElementException
CIt returns null
DIt blocks until a record is available
Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Step 1: Check behavior of readKeyValue() on empty topic

    When no records are available, readKeyValue() returns null instead of throwing or blocking.
  2. Step 2: Compare options

    Only It returns null matches this behavior; others describe exceptions, defaults, or blocking which do not occur.
  3. Final Answer:

    It returns null -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    Empty output readKeyValue() = null [OK]
Quick Trick: readKeyValue() returns null if no records present [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Expecting exceptions on empty reads
  • Assuming blocking behavior
  • Thinking it returns default empty pairs
