------------------------------------
Summary: add uniform serializer and deserializer to the kafka
protocol
Key: KAFKA-14306
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14306
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: clients, core, protocol
Reporter: maayan shani
recently I noticed every client (java, js, python ...) uses a different
serializer and deserializer,
by adding the protocol buffer (.proto) files to the Kafka project, and
describing the Kafka protocol, all clients and even the brokers can connect
with more ease.
there will be less duplication of code,
it will be easy to add client implementation fast the clients will be more
reliable and more up-to-date like the official Kafka protocol
* protocol buffer is a uniformed way developed by google to describe
serializer and deserializer protocols
