kafka consumer .net 'Protocol message end-group tag did not match expected tag.' - asp.net-core

Question

I am trying to read data from kafka as you can see :
var config = new ConsumerConfig
{
BootstrapServers = ""*******,
GroupId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
AutoOffsetReset = AutoOffsetReset.Earliest
};
MessageParser<AdminIpoChange> parser = new(() => new AdminIpoChange());
using (var consumer = new ConsumerBuilder<Ignore, byte[]>(config).Build())
{
consumer.Subscribe("AdminIpoChange");
while (true)
{
AdminIpoChange item = new AdminIpoChange();
var cr = consumer.Consume();
item = parser.ParseFrom(new ReadOnlySpan<byte>(cr.Message.Value).ToArray());
}
consumer.Close();
}
I am using google protobuf for send and receive data .This code returns this error in parser line:
KafkaConsumer.ConsumeAsync: Protocol message end-group tag did not match expected tag.
Google.Protobuf.InvalidProtocolBufferException: Protocol message end-group tag did not match expected tag.

Answer 1

The data is definitely not protobuf binary; byte 0 starts a group with field number 15; inside this group is:
field 4, string
field 13, fixed32
field 6, varint
field 12, fixed32
field 6, varint
after this (at byte 151), an end-group token is encountered with field number 6
There are many striking things about this:
your schema doesn't use groups (in fact, the mere existence of groups is now hard to find in the docs), so ... none of this looks right
end-group tokens are always required to match the last start-group field number, which it doesn't
fields inside a single level are usually (although as a "should", not a "must") written in numerical order
you have no field 12 or 13 declared
your field 6 is of the wrong type - we expect fixed64 here, but got varint
So: there's no doubt about it: that data is ... not what you expect. It certainly isn't valid protobuf binary. Without knowing how that data is stored, all we can do is guess, but on a hunch: let's try decoding it as UTF8 and see what it looks like:
{"SymbolName":"\u0641\u062F\u0631","SymbolIsin":"IRo3pzAZ0002","Date":"1400/12/15","Time":"08:00-12:00","MinPrice":17726,"MaxPrice":21666,"Share":1000,"Show":false,"Operation":0,"Id":"100d8e0b54154e9d902054bff193e875","CreateDateTime":"2022-02-26T09:47:20.0134757+03:30"}
or (formatted)
{
"SymbolName":"\u0641\u062F\u0631",
"SymbolIsin":"IRo3pzAZ0002",
"Date":"1400/12/15",
"Time":"08:00-12:00",
"MinPrice":17726,
"MaxPrice":21666,
"Share":1000,
"Show":false,
"Operation":0,
"Id":"100d8e0b54154e9d902054bff193e875",
"CreateDateTime":"2022-02-26T09:47:20.0134757+03:30"
}
Oops! You've written the data as JSON, and you're trying to decode it as binary protobuf. Decode it as JSON instead, and you should be fine. If this was written with the protobuf JSON API: decode it with the protobuf JSON API.
