Hey @rajneeshks, could you upload your code to GitHub and share the link? It will be much easier to debug if I can run it directly.

Hi @andy1li - uploaded to github:

Specific code block that manages the response:

github.com/saingarhia/codecrafters-kafka-rust

src/kafka/fetch.rs

5527d665d


      
              high_watermark: u64,
              last_stable_offset: u64,
              log_start_offset: u64,
              aborted_transactions: Vec<FetchResponseAbortedTransaction>,
              preferred_read_replica: u32,
              //records: Vec<records::RecordsBatch>,
              records: Vec<u8>,
              tag_buffer: u8,
          }
          
          impl FetchResponsePartition {
              fn new(topic_meta: &metadata::TopicMetadata, partition: u32) -> Self {
                  let aborted_transactions: Vec<FetchResponseAbortedTransaction> = vec![];
                  let log_file_name = format!(
                      "/tmp/kraft-combined-logs/{}-{}/00000000000000000000.log",
                      topic_meta.topic_name, partition
                  );
          
                  println!("***************** LOG FILE: {log_file_name} ********************");
                  let records = std::fs::read(log_file_name).unwrap();
                  println!("Read {} bytes from this file!", records.len());

@rajneeshks The issue is caused by the hardcoded RecordBatches size:

github.com/saingarhia/codecrafters-kafka-rust

src/kafka/fetch.rs

5527d665d


      
          // hard code 2 records for now
          writer::write_bytes(resp, &2_u8)?;

Please note that RecordBatches are of type COMPACT_RECORDS:

Let me know if you’d like further clarification!
