--------------------------------------
Summary: Convert Kafka RPCs to use automatically generated code
Key: KAFKA-7830
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7830
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: clients, core
Reporter: Colin P. McCabe
Assignee: Colin P. McCabe
KAFKA-7609 added a way of automatically generating code for reading and writing
Kafka RPC message types from JSON schemas.
Automatically generated code is preferrable to manually written serialization
code.
* * It is less tedious and error-prone to use than hand-written code.
* For developers writing Kafka clients in other languages, the JSON schemas are
useful in a way that the java serialization code is not.
* It will eventually be possible to automatically validate aspects of
cross-version compatibility, when using JSON message schemas.
* Once all of the RPCs are converted, we can drop using Structs in favor of
serializing directly to ByteBuffer, to reduce GC load.
This JIRA tracks converting the current hand-written message serialization code
to automatically generated serialization.
