Rick Kellogg updated STORM-263:
-------------------------------
Issue Type: Dependency upgrade (was: Improvement)
> Update Kryo version to 2.21+
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: STORM-263
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-263
> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: Dependency upgrade
> Affects Versions: 0.9.2-incubating
> Reporter: Michael Noll
> Assignee: P. Taylor Goetz
> Labels: carbonite, kryo, serialization
> Fix For: 0.9.2-incubating
>
>
> In a nutshell: As reported by Twitter (see below) there are apparently issues
> with Kryo versions prior to 2.21 which are causing data corruption [1].
> Also, albeit of lesser critical importance, is that Storm's current
> insistence on Kryo 2.17 prevents (or at least unnecessarily complicates) the
> use of Twitter Chill/Bijection, which are helpful utility libraries to
> simplify data serialization in Storm topologies (e.g. when using Avro).
> For this reason we may consider upgrading Storm's version of carbonite -- a
> Clojure library for Kryo -- which through a transitive dependency determines
> the actual Kryo version that Storm uses.
> ## Background
> I originally discovered this when I ran into a version conflict between the
> Kryo versions used by Storm and by Twitter Chill. Storm 0.9.1-incubating
> (latest version) uses Kryo 2.17 whereas Chill (latest version) uses Kryo
> 2.21. Without resorting to `exclude` tricks in my build file I couldn't
> integrate Chill with Storm, and I wanted to use Chill/Bijection to simplify
> Avro encoding/decoding in my Storm topologies.
> I filed an issue at the Chill project:
> * CHILL-173: Kryo version conflict between Chill and Storm 0.9.1-incubating
> causes Avro serialization to fail [2]
> Ian O'Connell (@ianoc) replied and pointed out that due to data corruption
> issues seen in production at Twitter when using Kryo < 2.21 the Chill project
> cannot downgrade from Kryo 2.21 to Storm's 2.17 version (Scalding, Spark, and
> Summingbird all use chill with Kryo at 2.21).
> Storm as of 0.9.2 (trunk/master) is currently configured to use carbonite
> 1.3.2. See the top-level pom.xml.
> <carbonite.version>1.3.2</carbonite.version>
> Carbonite 1.3.2 depends on Kryo 2.17, where as the recently 1.3.3 depends on
> Kryo 2.21:

> ## Carbonite*
> Storm uses {{com.twitter:carbonite}}, which is maintained by Sam Ritchie
> (@sritchie) at https://github.com/sritchie/carbonite. Sam would be ok with a
> patch for carbonite to address this Kryo versioning issue, if needed.
