> So, it seems that if I want to set a custom serializer class on the producer
> (in 0.8), I have to use a class that includes a special constructor like:
> public class MyKafkaEncoder<MyType> implements Encoder<MyType> {
> // This constructor is expected by the kafka producer, used by reflection
> public MyKafkaEncoder(VerifiableProperties props) {
> // what can I do with this?
> }
> @Override
> public byte[] toBytes(MyType message) {
> return message.toByteArray();
> }
> }
> It seems odd that this would be a requirement when implementing an interface.
> This seems not to have been the case in 0.7.
> What could my encoder class do with the VerifiableProperties?
