The ``"key-value"`` will return the message key in the ``key`` property and the message value in the ``value`` property. The ``"value"`` strategy will return the message value as the source entity.

      - If the key or value cannot be deserialized then the pipe will fail if ``"strict"`` is ``true``. If ``false`` then pipe won't fail, but an invalid key will be stored in the ``"invalid_key"`` property and an invalid value will stored in the ``"invalid_value`` property. Note that if key serialization fails then the resulting entity won't have an ``"_id"`` property, so that must be dealt with in the pipe.
