Jason Rosenberg commented on KAFKA-2189:
----------------------------------------
quick question, I assume there should be no issues with upgrading brokers
and/or producers/consumers independently with this change? E.g. can snappy
1.1.1.6 and 1.1.1.7 interoperate without any compatibility issues?
> Snappy compression of message batches less efficient in 0.8.2.1

> We are using snappy compression and noticed a fairly substantial increase
> (about 2.25x) in log filesystem space consumption after upgrading a Kafka
> cluster from 0.8.1.1 to 0.8.2.1. We found that this is caused by messages
> being seemingly recompressed individually (or possibly with a much smaller
> buffer or dictionary?) instead of as a batch as sent by producers. We
> eventually tracked down the change in compression ratio/scope to this [1]
> commit that updated the snappy version from 1.0.5 to 1.1.1.3. The Kafka
> client version does not appear to be relevant as we can reproduce this with
> both the 0.8.1.1 and 0.8.2.1 Producer.
> Here are the log files from our troubleshooting that contain the same set of
> 1000 messages, for batch sizes of 1, 10, 100, and 1000. f9d9b was the last
> commit with 0.8.1.1-like behavior prior to f5ab8 introducing the issue.
