Hi Colin, I see that both the interface "Record" and the implementation "DefaultRecord" being used in LogValidator.java are public interfaces/classes.
https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/record/Records.java and https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/common/record/DefaultRecord.java So, it should be ok to use them. Let me know what you think.
