Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-1241:
----------------------------------
I improved the error for that case. I think the rationale was that we CAN have
good error messages because all parsing logic is in a single place not that we
DO have good errors. Once we fix all the issues like this then we will have
good errors :-)
We can't give the request name as the serialization doesn't know about requests
but we can give the field being read and how much it was off by which I think
is an improvement.
All that said this sounds like there is a bug, no? I mean the fact that we get
an error is itself an issue irrespective of how good the error message is,
right?

> One of the motivations for the new serde format is better error reporting. I

> at java.nio.HeapByteBuffer.getInt(HeapByteBuffer.java:336)

> I was expecting to see a precise error message about the Request type that
> serde failed for. Instead it says Type$3 and no information on which field.
