--------------------------------------
Summary: Consider renaming inefficient RecordBatch operations
Key: KAFKA-6623
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6623
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Jason Gustafson
Certain batch-level operations are only efficient with the new message format
version. For example, {{RecordBatch.baseOffset}} requires decompression for the
old message format versions. It is a bit too easy at the moment to overlook the
performance implications when using these methods at the moment, which results
in issues like KAFKA-6622. We should consider either renaming them to make the
complexity more apparent or modify the API so that the old message format
simply expose the option conveniently. A similar case is the record count,
which is efficient in v2, but inefficient for older formats. We handled this
case by exposing a {{countOrNull}} method which only returns the count for v2.
