Hi all, I’d like to start a discussion thread for KIP-1377: ByteBuffer serialize method for Serializer.
KIP-863 added a ByteBuffer to the deserializer. There isn’t one on the producer side: apps that manage their objects offheap like native Protobufs for gRPC, and other netty based applications will have to serialize to byte[] on the produce path. This KIP addresses bridging that gap. Looking forward to your feedback on this. KIP link: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/ApbwGg Best, Aditya Kousik
