Wow just read that def over tired. Hopefully it makes sense. Or you get the 
gist at least.

Hi Jay,

Agreed this stemmed as offshoot from KIP-82.

Which our main driver for was to be able to have some headers for a null value 
as such for our routing, audit, tracing and a few other bits which currently we 
are forced to do with a message wrapper, if we all agreed on KIP-82 that we 
need native headers and look to implement that the push for this would 
dissipate.

This KIP would allow for though one use case that comes to mind we could see 
which is to have business data with a delete. Though as said this isn't 
something we are pushing for think really we would have.

As such in summary yes, if you want to fully support KIP-82 and we can get that 
agreed in principle and a target release version, I think quite a few guys at 
LinkedIn are quite pro it too ;) I'm happy to drop this one.

Cheers
Mike

Hey Michael,

Here is the compatibility concern I have:

   1. You have a consumer app that relies on value == null to indicate a
   delete (current semantics).
   2. You upgrade Kafka and your clients.
   3. Some producer starts using the tombstone field in combination with
   non-null.

I share Ismael's dislike of setting tombstones on records with null values.
This makes sense as a transitional state, but as an end state its a bit
weird. You'd expect to be able to mix null values and tombstones, and have
the null values remain and the tombstones get compacted. However what will
happen is both will be compacted and upon debugging this you'll learn that
we sometimes use null in the value to indicate tombstone. Ismael's solution
is a bigger compatibility break, though, so not sure if that is better.

My other question is the relationship to KIP-82. My read is that this KIP
solves some but not all of the problems KIP-82 is intended for. KIP-82, on
the other hand, seems to address most of the motivating uses for this KIP.
The exception is maybe item (5) on the list where you want to simultaneous
delete and convey some information to subscribers, but I couldn't construct
a concrete examples for that one. Do we need to rationalize these two KIPs?
That is, do you still advocate this proposal if we do KIP-82 and vice
versa? As you may have noticed I'm somewhat emotionally invested in the
simplicity of the core data model, so my default position is let's try to
avoid stuffing more stuff in, but if we have to add stuff I like each of
these individually more than doing both. :-)

-Jay
