Jason Rosenberg commented on KAFKA-1901: ---------------------------------------- [~omkreddy] Yes, that sounds find. Preferably it should not be at the top-level directory, so as not to be confusing when bundled as part of a shaded jar! > Move Kafka version to be generated in code by build (instead of in manifest) > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1901 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1901 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8.2.0 > Reporter: Jason Rosenberg > > With 0.8.2 (rc2), I've started seeing this warning in the logs of apps > deployed to our staging (both server and client): > {code} > 2015-01-23 00:55:25,273 WARN [async-message-sender-0] common.AppInfo$ - > Can't read Kafka version from MANIFEST.MF. Possible cause: > java.lang.NullPointerException > {code} > The issues is that in our deployment, apps are deployed with single 'shaded' > jars (e.g. using the maven shade plugin). This means the MANIFEST.MF file > won't have a kafka version. Instead, suggest the kafka build generate the > proper version in code, as part of the build. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
