             Summary: JsonConverter deserialized Struct containing bytes field does not return true for equals()
                 Key: KAFKA-3803
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3803
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
            Reporter: Ewen Cheslack-Postava


The problem is that byte[] comparisons will return false for equality, so even if the two are effectively equal, Struct.equals will not return true.

It's unclear if this should be fixed or not. Equality wouldn't work for map or array types containing bytes either. However, on possibility is making ByteBuffer the default instead to alleviate this, although then we may end up with asymmetry in equality.
