Grant Henke commented on KAFKA-1880: ------------------------------------ I have started hacking together a solution for this that is integrated into the build and can check compatibility across different git branches or commits. Locally I have a very rough implementation that works and identified KAFKA-3641. I will post a WIP pull request once its cleaned up a bit. > Add support for checking binary/source compatibility > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1880 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1880 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Ashish K Singh > Assignee: Grant Henke > > Recent discussions around compatibility shows how important compatibility is > to users. [Java API Compliance > Checker|http://ispras.linuxbase.org/index.php/Java_API_Compliance_Checker] is > a tool for checking backward binary and source-level compatibility of a Java > library API. Kafka can leverage the tool to find and fix existing > incompatibility issues and avoid new issues from getting into the product. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
