Viktor Somogyi commented on KAFKA-6923:
---------------------------------------
[~ijuma] just wanted to give a heads up that probably I'll publish this KIP
after the 2.0.0 release as most of the community is probably busy with getting
code changes in. And also it helps me with participating in code reviews during
this period.
> Consolidate ExtendedSerializer/Serializer and
> ExtendedDeserializer/Deserializer

> Key: KAFKA-6923
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6923
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients
> Reporter: Ismael Juma
> Assignee: Viktor Somogyi
> Priority: Major
> Labels: needs-kip
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> The Javadoc of ExtendedDeserializer states:
> {code}
> * Prefer {@link Deserializer} if access to the headers is not required. Once
> Kafka drops support for Java 7, the
> * {@code deserialize()} method introduced by this interface will be added to
> Deserializer with a default implementation
> * so that backwards compatibility is maintained. This interface may be
> deprecated once that happens.
> {code}
> Since we have dropped Java 7 support, we should figure out how to do this.
> There are compatibility implications, so a KIP is needed.
