-------------------------------------
Hello, Kafka has it's own protocol design and, even though we drew lessens from
pb design, it's different from pb or thrift. you can refer the idea here:
https://kafka.apache.org/protocol.html#protocol_philosophy
> 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
> Priority: Trivial
>
> 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
> related information:
> the protobuf by google -
> https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers
> for example, pulsar added protobuf files to the project
> pulsar protocol buffer -
> [https://github.com/apache/pulsar/blob/master/pulsar-common/src/main/proto/PulsarApi.proto]
