Hi, I'd like to start discussion on KIP-625: Richer encodings for integral-typed protocol fields.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-625%3A+Richer+encodings+for+integral-typed+protocol+fields It's about allowing regular/required fields of protocol messages to use variable length encoding. If you have a moment please take a look. Kind regards, Tom
