Manikumar resolved KAFKA-4638.
------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
Resolving as duplicate of KAFKA-5686. PR Raised for KAFKA-5686
> Outdated and misleading link in section "End-to-end Batch Compression"
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-4638
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4638
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: compression
> Affects Versions: 0.10.1.1
> Environment: Documentation
> Reporter: Vincent Tieleman
> Priority: Minor
>
> The section "End-to-end Batch Compression" mentions the following:
> "Kafka supports GZIP, Snappy and LZ4 compression protocols. More details on
> compression can be found here."
> When looking up the "here" link,
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Compression, it describes
> not only the mechanism, but also gives the configuration properties to use.
> The properties provided are "compression.codec" and "compression.topics", but
> these are no longer used. Instead, one should use "compression.type", where
> one can directly specify which compression to use (i.e. currently gzip,
> snappy or lz4). The link also fails to mention lz4 compression, which is
> supported by now.
> Not aware that this information is outdated, I spent quite some time before
> finding out that I was using the wrong properties. I imagine this must happen
> to more people.
> I suggest adding a small remark to the link, so that people know it is
> outdated. Furthermore, I would add that the latest configuration properties
> can be found in the "Producer config" section.
> The alternative would be to simply remove the link all together, as there is
> too much outdated information in it.
