Description
I am using the kafka-producer-shell.sh script without the --compress option
however my messages seem to be gzipped
the docs say compression is off by default:
http://incubator.apache.org/kafka/configuration.html
The only producer.properties file I can find is at:
/home/ubuntu/kafka-0.7.2-incubating-src/config/producer.properties
In there is:
compression.codec=0
My process looks like:
root 1748 1746 0 Nov19 ? 00:02:37 java -Xmx512M -server -Dlog4j.configuration=file:/usr/local/bin/kafka/../config/log4j.properties -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -cp :/usr/local/bin/kafka/../project/boot/scala-2.8.0/lib/scala-compiler.jar:/usr/local/bin/kafka/../project/boot/scala-2.8.0/lib/scala-library.jar:/usr/local/bin/kafka/../core/target/scala_2.8.0/kafka-0.7.2.jar:/usr/local/bin/kafka/../core/lib/*.jar:/usr/local/bin/kafka/../perf/target/scala_2.8.0/kafka-perf-0.7.2.jar:/usr/local/bin/kafka/../core/lib_managed/scala_2.8.0/compile/jopt-simple-3.2.jar:/usr/local/bin/kafka/../core/lib_managed/scala_2.8.0/compile/log4j-1.2.15.jar:/usr/local/bin/kafka/../core/lib_managed/scala_2.8.0/compile/snappy-java-1.0.4.1.jar:/usr/local/bin/kafka/../core/lib_managed/scala_2.8.0/compile/zkclient-0.1.jar:/usr/local/bin/kafka/../core/lib_managed/scala_2.8.0/compile/zookeeper-3.3.4.jar kafka.producer.ConsoleProducer --topic logtail --zookeeper x.x.x.x:2181
But the messages come out gobbledegook unless I use a client that understands compressed messages, and in that client it identifies the bit as set to 1, gzip compression.

This seems to be a bug in ConsoleProducer. It also compresses messages and
ignores the --compress flag. Could you file a jira?
Thanks,
Jun
