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). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
