Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-3803:
----------------------------------
FWIW, past experience with giving users ByteBuffer has been pretty rough.
ByteBuffer is pretty confusing for us, but apparently very confusing to normal
Java people who have never seen it before.
> JsonConverter deserialized Struct containing bytes field does not return true

> Key: KAFKA-3803
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3803
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
> Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava
>
> The problem is that byte[] comparisons will return false for equality, so
> even if the two are effectively equal, Struct.equals will not return true.
> It's unclear if this should be fixed or not. Equality wouldn't work for map
> or array types containing bytes either. However, on possibility is making
> ByteBuffer the default instead to alleviate this, although then we may end up
> with asymmetry in equality.
