Module kafka_protocol::protocol::types

Raw types of the Kafka protocol, as defined by the protocol specification.

In general, most types map closely to a corresponding rust type, with the exception of a number types that use zigzag encoded to represent length as a “compact” representation.

It is unnecessary to interact directly with these types for most use cases.

Structs

Array

An array whose length is encoded with an i32.

Boolean

A boolean value.

Bytes

A sequence of bytes, up to i32::MAX long.

CompactArray

An array whose length is encoded with a varint.

CompactBytes

A sequence of bytes that is encoded with a u32 or a varint, depending on size.

CompactString

A string whose length is encoded with a u32 or varint.

Float64

A struct representing [$ty]

Int8

A struct representing [$ty]

Int16

String

A string of length up to i16::MAX.

Struct

A struct, which is encoded according to the type it represents.

UInt16

VarInt

A zizag encoded int.

VarLong

A zizag encoded long.
