----------------------------------
Summary: MessageFormatter and MessageReader interfaces should be
resilient to changes
Key: KAFKA-3273
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3273
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: tools
Reporter: Ismael Juma
Assignee: Ismael Juma
Fix For: 0.9.1.0
They should use `ConsumerRecord` and `ProducerRecord` as parameters and return
types respectively in order to avoid breaking clients each time a new parameter
is added.
An additional question is whether we need to maintain compatibility with
previous releases. [~junrao] suggested that we do not, but [~ewencp] thought we
should.
Note that the KIP-31/32 change has broken compatibility for `MessageFormatter`
so we need to do _something_ for the next release.
