Jason Gustafson commented on KAFKA-2695: ---------------------------------------- [~junrao] That actually works currently because records are not parsed using o.a.k.common.protocol.types.Type. But most other cases will fail because the parsing code looks like this: {code} int length = buffer.getShort(); byte[] bytes = new byte[length]; {code} It's not difficult to fix, but we'll probably need to make sure that current usage can handle null values without breaking in other ways. > Handle null string/bytes protocol primitives > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2695 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2695 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Jason Gustafson > Assignee: Jason Gustafson > > The kafka protocol supports null bytes and string primitives by passing -1 as > the size, but the current deserializers implemented in > o.a.k.common.protocol.types.Type do not handle them. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
