Joe Stein commented on KAFKA-1841: ---------------------------------- In addition to the issue you bring up, the functionality as a whole has changed.. when you call OffsetFetchRequest the version = 0 needs to preserve the old functionality https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/0.8.1/core/src/main/scala/kafka/server/KafkaApis.scala#L678-L700 and version = 1 the new https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/0.8.2/core/src/main/scala/kafka/server/KafkaApis.scala#L153-L223. Also the OffsetFetchRequest functionality even though the wire protocol is the same after the 0.8.2 upgrade for OffsetFetchRequest if you were using 0.8.1.1 OffsetFetchRequest https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/0.8.1/core/src/main/scala/kafka/server/KafkaApis.scala#L705-L728 will stop going to zookeeper and start going to Kafka storage https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/0.8.2/core/src/main/scala/kafka/server/KafkaApis.scala#L504-L519 so more errors will happen and things break too. > OffsetCommitRequest API - timestamp field is not versioned > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1841 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1841 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Affects Versions: 0.8.2 > Environment: wire-protocol > Reporter: Dana Powers > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.8.2 > > > Timestamp field was added to the OffsetCommitRequest wire protocol api for > 0.8.2 by KAFKA-1012 . The 0.8.1.1 server does not support the timestamp > field, so I think the api version of OffsetCommitRequest should be > incremented and checked by the 0.8.2 kafka server before attempting to read a > timestamp from the network buffer in OffsetCommitRequest.readFrom > (core/src/main/scala/kafka/api/OffsetCommitRequest.scala) > It looks like a subsequent patch (KAFKA-1462) added another api change to > support a new constructor w/ params generationId and consumerId, calling that > version 1, and a pending patch (KAFKA-1634) adds retentionMs as another > field, while possibly removing timestamp altogether, calling this version 2. > So the fix here is not straightforward enough for me to submit a patch. > This could possibly be merged into KAFKA-1634, but opening as a separate > Issue because I believe the lack of versioning in the current trunk should > block 0.8.2 release. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
