--------------------------------
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
