Robert Metzger commented on FLINK-4035: --------------------------------------- Thank you for trying this out. I've opened a pull request yesterday that extends the kafka 0.9 connector, but uses the 0.10.0.0 Kafka dependency (I'll update to Kafka 0.10.0.1 before merging). The missing backwards compatibility in Kafka is indeed an issue for systems like ours. > Bump Kafka producer in Kafka sink to Kafka 0.10.0.0 > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLINK-4035 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4035 > Project: Flink > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Kafka Connector > Affects Versions: 1.0.3 > Reporter: Elias Levy > Assignee: Robert Metzger > Priority: Minor > > Kafka 0.10.0.0 introduced protocol changes related to the producer. > Published messages now include timestamps and compressed messages now include > relative offsets. As it is now, brokers must decompress publisher compressed > messages, assign offset to them, and recompress them, which is wasteful and > makes it less likely that compression will be used at all. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
