Jiangjie Qin commented on KAFKA-2523:
-------------------------------------
[~jkreps], I have created KAFKA-2512 to add version check on both broker and
clients. I have a patch ready and it seems not a big change to have the version
check added cross board. Should we close this ticket as a duplicate? Or do you
want to take the new consumer part out separately in this ticket?
> New consumer doesn't check magic version

> Key: KAFKA-2523
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2523
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Jay Kreps
> Priority: Blocker
>
> The new consumer should be checking that messages it reads are in the format
> it expects (and give a sane error message otherwise) rather than just
> randomly reading other formats and running out of memory or getting cryptic
> errors. This should be a one-line fix.
> It is important if we're thinking of changing the message format since you
> need the proper check in the versions BEFORE the version where you make the
> change so sane errors occur when the change eventually does happen.
