It's not a class from the public API, but it's exposed via the command line and definitely used (search for AvroMessageReader for example). I also found the still open KIP-641 which deals with this interface. We should have a deprecation period, but at the same time we don't want to depend on core. Given that checkstyle can only handle a single root package, the only solution I see is to create a :tools:deprecated sub-module containing kafka.common.MessageReader. @mimaison @showuon WDYT? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
