Jason Rosenberg created KAFKA-1049: -------------------------------------- Summary: Encoder implementations are required to provide an undocumented constructor. Key: KAFKA-1049 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1049 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Jason Rosenberg Priority: Minor
So, it seems that if I want to set a custom serializer class on the producer (in 0.8), I have to use a class that includes a special constructor like: public class MyKafkaEncoder<MyType> implements Encoder<MyType> { // This constructor is expected by the kafka producer, used by reflection public MyKafkaEncoder(VerifiableProperties props) { // what can I do with this? } @Override public byte[] toBytes(MyType message) { return message.toByteArray(); } } It seems odd that this would be a requirement when implementing an interface. This seems not to have been the case in 0.7. What could my encoder class do with the VerifiableProperties? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
