Prashanth Menon commented on KAFKA-49: -------------------------------------- Agreed, we need to change the wire protocol to include protocol version, it'll save future effort and solve backwards/forward compatibility issues. Though I really like Taylor's idea of reusing the first byte of the requestId for version, it does limit us to 256 versions and 256 possible request types; not a drastic limitation, but still. Add on to the fact that we're changing requestId's by collapsing the multi-fetch to just fetch and multi-produce to just produce and the other large changes happening with replication, maintaining backwards compatibility with < 0.7 seems like an unnecessarily significant effort. My two cents is just to introduce a new format going forward, and leave room for enhancements. Did a quick look through the wiki, looks good at a glance. I wasn't aware of all the other protocol changes! > Add acknowledgement to the produce request. > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-49 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-49 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Jun Rao > > Currently, the produce request doesn't get acknowledged.
