James Oliver commented on KAFKA-1493: ------------------------------------- Jun, My pleasure. The TODOs are parts of the specification that are unimplemented, but are not required. I left them in there as hints if/when the spec is contributed back to lz4-java. The validation routines will disallow the use of any portion of the spec that is unimplemented, but it's totally usable. What the spec can do - compress & decompress messages using 64kb/256kb/1mb/4mb blockSize (64kb by default) with optional block checksums (disabled by default) What the spec cannot do - decompress messages compressed by an implementation supporting some of the missing features. If this were to occur, a RuntimeException with detailed information will be thrown. > Use a well-documented LZ4 compression format and remove redundant LZ4HC option > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-1493 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1493 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.8.2 > Reporter: James Oliver > Assignee: James Oliver > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.8.2 > > Attachments: KAFKA-1493.patch, KAFKA-1493.patch, > KAFKA-1493_2014-10-16_13:49:34.patch > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
