tombentley opened a new pull request #9252: URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/9252
This test compares the current working tree version of protocol/message json files with the same versions of those files as released in previous versions of Kafka (and in git HEAD). As such it can detect when a message format is changed in an incompabile way, for example by adding a field to an existing API version. The verification implements all the rules mentioned in the protocol README.md plus a few others. The test is factored into an abstract test class, which means it can be used in other places where message JSON is used. I added a test for Kafka Streams, for example. Because the test works by looking at git tags it wouldn't be robust to certain refactorings (e.g. changing the directory in which the message JSON files reside). It also currently doesn't cope with refactoring field names. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
