--------------------------------------------

             Summary: ConsoleConsumer crashes with new consumer when using keys 
because of incorrect deserializer
                 Key: KAFKA-2793
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2793
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tools
            Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
            Assignee: Ewen Cheslack-Postava


The ConsoleConsumer class uses Array[Byte] everywhere, but the new consumer is 
configured with a string key deserializer, resulting in a class cast exception:

{quote}
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to [B
        at kafka.consumer.NewShinyConsumer.receive(BaseConsumer.scala:62)
        at kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$.process(ConsoleConsumer.scala:101)
        at kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$.run(ConsoleConsumer.scala:64)
        at kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$.main(ConsoleConsumer.scala:42)
        at kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer.main(ConsoleConsumer.scala)
{quote}

Note that this is an issue whether you are printing the keys or not, it will be 
triggered by any non-null key (and I'd imagine some should also trigger 
serialization exceptions if they are not UTF8-decodeable).
