Re: protocol definition

Jay, This looks very cool, and will certainly make writing future APIs more sane and maintainable. Few questions/comments: * There's one part of the current API (I forget where) that does not use a length-prefixed repeating element, how would (or would you) represent this using Schema? IMO,

Re: protocol definition

Hey Jay, 3,4. What I meant is it is that you still need to set/get the field values by their field names: // in toStruct body.set("topics", topics.toArray()); // in toMetadataResponse int nodeId = (Integer) broker.get("node_id"); And I was propose just the opposite of your understanding: after

Re: protocol definition

If what you are saying is that we should define the java code and kind of "automatically" generate the protocol off of that then I would be against that as I really want the protocol definition to be the source of truth. It should be 100% obvious when you are changing the protocol. -Jay On Fri,

Hey Guozhang, 1,2. Yes, you need to define the new format and add it to the list of versions. 3. Not necessarily. It depends on the change. If the formats are totally different the code can take the version and just have some if statement to read one or the other. But most changes are just the sim

Ok. This is done. Now there is an 0.8.1 branch which has the same content as trunk as of now. Before creating the branch, I added the missing license header to a bunch of files using the gradle task to avoid having to double commit those later. Let me know if there is any issue. Thanks, Jun On
