--------------------------------------
Summary: Trailing JSON tokens in DescribeProducersRequest.json can
cause parse errors in some JSON parsers
Key: KAFKA-12794
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12794
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Task
Components: clients
Environment: I am specifically trying to parse the files with the rust
serde_json library.
Reporter: Nathan Lincoln
The schema definition for the DescribeProducersRequest see
[here|https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/3b6599c600f6e7fbeb000a088591f1cf9aba107d/clients/src/main/resources/common/message/DescribeProducersRequest.json]
has trailing tokens - specifically, the last two lines in the commit in that
link.
This does not cause problems for the generator, because Jackson will ignore
trailing input by default.
However, some JSON parsers cannot be configured to ignore trailing characters,
and so they fail on that file. This can cause problems for users wishing to use
the official schema definitions to generate clients in other languages.
The fix here is pretty simple - just remove the trailing tokens, and optionally
configure jackson to fail on trailing tokens. I'll be submitting a patch for
the former on GitHub, and I can also submit a patch for the former if there is
interest.
