Hi John, Thanks for the vote and feedback.
The thought occurred to me too. Do I understand it correctly: the current version of the kafka-console-producer cannot be used for anything other than UTF-8 keys and values? (There is no other implementation of MessageReader other than the ConsoleProducer$LineMessageReader) In other words, currently users seem to only apply it with utf-8 strings for keys and values? This is why I figured I would not deviate from this assumption solely for the headers. I will happily raise another KIP / Jira if there is a need to specify other formats / serializers for headers, keys and/or values.
