When you have compacted topics you can delete messages from the topic by sending a message with a matching key but no payload. The generated clients should be able to handle these messages.
This change makes the consumer effectively ignore these messages.
NB: We can't really do anything useful as the type is just a Seq[T] rather than a collection of key+payload pairs.
