[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-9927) Add support for varint types to message generator

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9927?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17106465#comment-17106465 ] 

Tom Bentley commented on KAFKA-9927:
------------------------------------

[~hachikuji] I've implemented this (https://github.com/tombentley/kafka/pull/new/KAFKA-9927-varint-in-messages). Does this need change need a KIP since use of this variable length encoding for fields would be new to the protocol? If not I'll open a PR, otherwise I'll put a KIP together.

> It would be nice to be able to use either a "varint32" or "varint64" type or to add a flag to indicate variable length encoding.
