Set default compression type & reuse old messages
Is there any way I can leave the default Compress type as UNCOMPRESSED? I'm testing old programs and having to select UNCOMPRESSED every time is inconvenient
We could store the last selection in the frontend. That would be relatively easy to add, do you want to give it a shot?
@weeco Of course, I really need this feature. Also, if you can do a message recall feature, it would be even better.
Sometimes I want to reuse old messages, this will help save more time
What do you mean by a recall feature? Reproducing an existing message and possibly editing it along the way?
@weeco Sorry I don't know what to call this function, I just want to copy the old message and push it to the end of the topic with all the information from before.
Either remembering the previous selection or allowing a default value to be configured at a system level would be very helpful. Just discovered today that the default value of SNAPPY causes a consumer in a local cluster I'm working on to become completely stuck without error. I now known to explicitly select UNCOMPRESSED to avoid this but having to remember it every time I test something means I'm likely to forget in the future and block up a working system.
This issue is currently causing us to get spikes of >1 million messages over the course of hours on our development cluster when a test message is created and our software currently is not able to recover from trying to read a compressed message
