Hiro reopened KAFKA-15754:
--------------------------
hello
I can't migrate to kraft from zookeeper mode.
This is because the cluster_id in zookeeper mode starts with "-".
> The kafka-storage tool can generate UUID starting with "-"
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-15754
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15754
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.6.0
> Reporter: Paolo Patierno
> Assignee: Paolo Patierno
> Priority: Major
>
> Using the kafka-storage.sh tool, it seems that it can still generate a UUID
> starting with a dash "-", which then breaks how the argparse4j library works.
> With such an UUID (i.e. -rmdB0m4T4–Y4thlNXk4Q in my case) the tool exits with
> the following error:
> kafka-storage: error: argument --cluster-id/-t: expected one argument
> Said that, it seems that this problem was already addressed in the
> Uuid.randomUuid method which keeps generating a new UUID until it doesn't
> start with "-". This is the commit addressing it
> [https://github.com/apache/kafka/commit/5c1dd493d6f608b566fdad5ab3a896cb13622bce]
> The problem is that when the toString is called on the Uuid instance, it's
> going to do a Base64 encoding on the generated UUID this way:
> {code:java}
> Base64.getUrlEncoder().withoutPadding().encodeToString(getBytesFromUuid());
> {code}
> Not sure why, but the code is using an URL (safe) encoder which, taking a
> look at the Base64 class in Java, is using a RFC4648_URLSAFE encoder using
> the following alphabet:
>
> {code:java}
> private static final char[] toBase64URL = new char[]{'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E',
> 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T',
> 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i',
> 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x',
> 'y', 'z', '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', '-', '_'}; {code}
> which as you can see includes the "-" character.
> So despite the current Uuid.randomUuid is avoiding the generation of a UUID
> containing a dash, the Base64 encoding operation can return a final UUID
> starting with the dash instead.
>
> I was wondering if there is any good reason for using a Base64 URL encoder
> and not just the RFC4648 (not URL safe) which uses the common Base64 alphabet
> not containing the "-".
