Will Kafka v0.9 publish official javadocs for the entire API? In 0.8, javadocs appear rather sparse. It's hard to find a javadoc that documents both Consumers and Producers.
Also, will future versions of Kafka have more intuitive serializer/deserializer interfaces? E.g., if a Producer can configure an automatic POJO -> byte[] serializer, why does the Consumer API not have the option to configure an automatic byte[] -> POJO deserializer? Could a basic JSON serializer/deserializer be included? JSON's a common enough wire format that I think it's reasonable to include a decent one by default, so Kafka users aren't reinventing that wheel. -- Cheers, Andrew
