Kamal Chandraprakash commented on KAFKA-15128:
----------------------------------------------

Snappy jar will be used to compress the records from producer. If you're not setting the {{compression.type}} as {{snappy}} in your producer configuration, then you can safely exclude this jar from your distribution.

> Hi Team,
> we found new vulnerability introduced in snappy-java-1.1.8.4 library, so we need to get rid of it.

> during analysis, we found snappy-java coming via kafka-clients.
> As our application is not directly using snappy-java jar.
> Can any one please explain what is use of snappy-java in kafka-client or can we exclude that?
> Latest kafka-client also having vulnerable snappy-jar, by when kafka-client will release next version which is having non-vulnerable snappy-java jar in it?
