KAFKA-3025 Added timetamp to Message and use relative offset. See KIP-31 and KIP-32 for details. A few notes on the patch: 1. This patch only implements the server side message format change. It also implements the message format conversion. 2. All unit tests passed when set . Some of the tests require specific message format versions. I will fix them once the change on o.a.k.clients are done. 3. The unit tests were run with new and old message format. 4. When message format conversion occurs during consumption, the consumer will not be able to detect the message size too large situation. I did not try to fix this because the situation seems rare and only happen during migration phase. The remaining work for KIP-31 and KIP-32 is 1. Add timestamp and relative offset to o.a.k.clients. 2. Add more unit test and integration test You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/becketqin/kafka KAFKA-3025 Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/764.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #764 ---- commit 5604b4a57fff61188c562cc634daca4dee72aa4f Author: Jiangjie Qin <becket....@gmail.com> Date: 2016-01-07T14:30:39Z Added timetamp to Message and use relative offset.
