Tom Bentley commented on KAFKA-9927:
------------------------------------
[~hachikuji] I've implemented this
(https://github.com/tombentley/kafka/pull/new/KAFKA-9927-varint-in-messages).
Does this need change need a KIP since use of this variable length encoding for
fields would be new to the protocol? If not I'll open a PR, otherwise I'll put
a KIP together.
