Jay Kreps resolved KAFKA-678. ----------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Instead we are removing serializers altogether. > We should default to NullEncoder for producer > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-678 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-678 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Jay Kreps > Assignee: Jay Kreps > > Currently we default to using whatever serializer you set for your value to > also work for your key. This works if the serializer is of a generic sort > (Avro, Java serialization, etc) and both key and value map into this. However > if you have a custom serializer this is not the right thing to do. > I think it would be better to default this to NullEncoder which defaults to > maintain the pre-0.8 behavior of not retaining the key. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
