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 Outdated and misleading link in section "End-to-end Batch Compression" 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 Not aware that this information is outdated, I spent quite some time before 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 outdated.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 too much outdated information in it. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
