------------------------------------
Summary: Kafka serialize/deserialize properties are inconsistently
named
Key: CAMEL-15770
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-15770
Project: Camel
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: camel-kafka, documentation
Affects Versions: 3.6.0
Reporter: Franky Georg
There are 3 pairs of serializer/deserialiser properties on the Kafka component.
The inconsistent parts of the names are highlighted
||Consumer||Producer||Type||
|*kafka*HeaderDeserializer|*kafka*HeaderSerializer|Bean|
|keyDeserializer|keySerializer*Class*|String FQN|
|*value*Deserializer|serializer*Class*|String FQN|
I think it would be worth making these names consistent.
||Current||Proposed||
|kafkaHeaderDeserializer|headerDeserializer|
|kafkaHeaderSerializer|headerSerializer|
|keyDeserializer|keyDeserializer |
|keySerializerClass|keySerializer|
|valueDeserializer|valueDeserializer|
|serializerClass|valueSerializer|
It looks like there was an intent to denote the key- and value- properties as
expecting a class FQN string by appending 'Class' to the name. I don't see any
other properties that do this so I think the consistent approach is to leave it
off.
I've made an assumption that valueDeserializer & serializerClass are a pair, as
the descriptions don't match. It would be good to take the opportunity to make
all six descriptions consistent.
