Document support for `lz4framed`

Open jeffwidman opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

https://github.com/dpkp/kafka-python/pull/1395 added support for lz4framed, but didn't document it.

I started to add it, and realized I really don't understand the differences between these two...

@everpcpc can you clarify what you found compelling about lz4framed over lz4? At a quick glance, both appear to be just bindings to C implementations, so it's not like one is easy to debug (pure python) and the other is fast (C based)...

Actually it's just an alternative. Because lz4 has no stable support for framed format before 1.0.0. Besides, they are both listed in http://lz4.github.io/lz4/.
