ASF GitHub Bot commented on STORM-1449: --------------------------------------- Github user priyank5485 commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/994#issuecomment-171576791 Just ran in to an issue where this fix does not work. Correct me if i am wrong. But a fat storm jar that is compiled with older version of storm-kafka will still use byte[] and the newer version of storm now uses ByteBuffer. Hence it throws an exception at runtime if storm is upgraded. I think upgrade of storm should still work with older topology jars. > Fix Kafka spout to maintain backward compatibility to pass byte[] instead of > ByteBuffer > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: STORM-1449 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-1449 > Project: Apache Storm > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Arun Mahadevan > Assignee: Arun Mahadevan > Fix For: 1.0.0 > > > STORM-1220 introduced some changes where in one place it passes ByteBuffer as > is instead of byte[].
