    Description

      We are upgrading from Kafka 0.8.1 to 0.10.0.0 and discovered an issue after getting the following exception from the log cleaner:

      [2016-06-28 10:02:18,759] ERROR [kafka-log-cleaner-thread-0], Error due to  (kafka.log.LogCleaner)

      At first this seems impossible because the input and output buffers are identically sized. But in the case where the source messages are of an older format, additional space may be required to write them out in the new one. Since the message header is 8 bytes larger in 0.10.0, this failure can happen.

      We're planning to work around this by adding the following config:

      log.message.format.version=0.8.1

      but this definitely needs a fix.

      We could simply preserve the existing message format (since in this case we can't retroactively add a timestamp anyway). Otherwise, the log cleaner would have to be smarter about ensuring there is sufficient "slack space" in the output buffer to account for the size difference * the number of messages in the input buffer.
