Joe Stein resolved KAFKA-1110.
------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
> Unable to produce messages with snappy/gzip compression
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-1110
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1110
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Environment: Kafka version: kafka-0.8.0-beta1
> OS version: Darwin 12.4.1 Darwin Kernel Version 12.4.1: Tue May 21 17:04:50
> PDT 2013; root:xnu-2050.40.51~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

> Sarama[1] (A golang kafka library: https://github.com/Shopify/sarama) is
> following the specs as defined in:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/A+Guide+To+The+Kafka+Protocol
> but messages are not getting into the kafka log file and consumers never see
> them when gzip/snappy is used. Without compression it works fine though.
> Few observations we made:
> 1. Kafka service does have required jars to be able to interpret snappy
> messages. When I modify ConsoleProducer to produce messages using
> SnappyCompressionCodec instead of default GZip codec. I was able to
> produce/consume messages. Looking at the kafka log files I see that Snappy
> Compression was indeed getting used:
> % bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.DumpLogSegments --files
> /tmp/kafka-logs/aruptest-0/00000000000000000000.log | tail -1
> offset: 15 position: 18763 isvalid: true payloadsize: 52 magic: 0
> compresscodec: SnappyCompressionCodec crc: 1602790249
> So I don't think it would be a case of missing jars in kafka server.
> 2. Kafka doesn't return any error if the message doesn't make it to the log
> file. This seems pretty serious, as I would expect kafka to throw an error if
> I am using WaitForLocal/WaitForAll.
> 3. We did an inspection of the tcp packet to see the difference between what
> ConsoleProducer sends vs what sarama sends
> (Following is a copy/paste from a github issue):
> [~eapache] : "So I have no idea what the ConsoleProducer is actually sending
> in this case. The outer protocol layers in both cases look identical, but if
> you compare the actual message value:
> a. Sarama sends two bytes of snappy header and then "<msg-payload>" (since
> Snappy decides it's too short to properly encode, so makes it a literal).
> Pretty straightforward.
> b. ConsoleProducer sends 0x82 then the string literal SNAPPY\0 then what
> appears to be a complete embedded produce request without any compression.
> This is neither valid snappy nor valid Kafka according to anything I've seen,
> so I'm pretty confused. It looks almost like an incorrect version of [1] but
> it's missing several key fields and the case of the identifying string is
> wrong.
> 1: http://code.google.com/p/snappy/source/browse/trunk/framing_format.txt "
> Let us know if recent changes in the codebase makes the protocol page
> obsolete, in that case if the protocol page is updated we could update our
> client to use the new spec.
