Joe Stein updated KAFKA-1822:
-----------------------------
      Description: 
Currently there is no simple way to generate a request and validate we receive 
a response without adding a lot of dependencies for the test.
Kafka request classes have quite a few dependencies, so they are not really 
usable when testing infrastructure components or clients.
Generating a byte-array with meaningless request key id as it is done in 
SocketServerTest results in unknown request exception that must be handled. 

I suggest adding an EchoRequest, EchoResponse and EchoHandler. The Request will 
be the usual header and a bytearray. The Response will be a response header and 
the same bytearray echoed back.

Should be useful for client developers and when testing infrastructure changes.
