Tong Li commented on KAFKA-1927:
--------------------------------
Gwen Shapira, indeed. I was doing OpenStack development for quite some time.
Recently IBM wants to be involved in Kafka, that is why I am here. I like to
give it a shot. Reading the link and the process probably will be slow. How
urgent is this patch being needed? If this is very urgent, probably better for
some more experienced Kafka developer. Thanks a lot for your quick response
though.

> Key: KAFKA-1927
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1927
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jay Kreps
>
> The common package introduced a better way of defining requests using a new
> protocol definition DSL and also includes wrapper objects for these.
> We should switch KafkaApis over to use these request definitions and consider
> the scala classes deprecated (we probably need to retain some of them for a
> while for the scala clients).
> This will be a big improvement because
> 1. We will have each request now defined in only one place (Protocol.java)
> 2. We will have built-in support for multi-version requests
> 3. We will have much better error messages (no more cryptic underflow errors)
