GitHub user rnpridgeon opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/2334
subset of KAFKA-4353: Add uuid Alternatively I am open to using Avro's 'Fixed' type with a 16 byte size. However most requests I have seen received wish to see UUID represented as type String so I went with that to start. Also I just realized that Intellij's 'optimized imports' squashed the import list. Follow-up commit soon to follow with expanded import list You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/rnpridgeon/kafka add_uuid Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/2334.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 #2334 ---- commit 8413f7d558e6c9b1a4bfe580c6557e4fc337ed97 Author: rnpridgeon <ryan.n.pridg...@gmail.com> Date: 2017-01-09T11:28:24Z Add UUID logical type commit fdbce61dd1eefcaf08276a19d3e424e33d78cbba Author: rnpridgeon <ryan.n.pridg...@gmail.com> Date: 2017-01-09T11:49:19Z Add UUID logical type (fix tests) ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
