They > describe the potential impact and then say (at the end of a paragraph): "To > avoid such message conversion before consumers are upgraded to 0.10.0.0, one > can set". This should probably be written as a playbook for doing the upgrade > without affecting performance and should be a recommendation, not presented > as just an option. Nobody with an existing cluster wants the perf impact of > switching their brokers to the new format while consumers are still using the > old format unless they have a cluster with extremely light load. > Additionally, if we have some simple benchmark numbers on the performance > impact on brokers, we should include that information. Today it is very > unclear how bad that change will be -- 5%, 20%, 90% worse? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
