Summary

Add Binance/Tardis parity fields to normalized v2beta1 schemas (trade and order book) while keeping wire compatibility. Documentation now tracks the change in a new schema changelog.

What changed

  • Trade (v2beta1): add optional maker, event_time, match_id, liquidity_flag for venue parity.
  • Order book (v2beta1): add optional event_time, last_update_id for venue parity.
  • Mapping docs updated; new docs/schemas/CHANGELOG.md entry for v3.2.0 (unpublished).
  • Regenerated buf artifacts (git-ignored) and refreshed descriptors.

Compatibility

  • Additive only; no field renames/removals. buf breaking --against buf.build/tommyk/crypto-market-data:main passes.
  • Decimal scale remains 1e-8. timestamp still represents match time; event_time is provided when venues expose it.

Testing

  • buf lint proto
  • buf breaking proto --against buf.build/tommyk/crypto-market-data:main
  • buf generate proto; buf export proto; buf build proto -o gen/protobuf/cryptofeed/normalized/v2beta1/descriptor.bin

Next steps

  • Publish schemas as v3.2.0 once approved (buf push proto --label main --label v3.2.0 --label latest).

P1 Badge Make Kafka callback callable via feedhandler

Feed callbacks are invoked with await cb(obj, receipt_timestamp) (see Feed.callback), which calls the inherited BackendCallback.__call__ and expects a write method. The new KafkaBackendBase/KafkaCallback hierarchy added in this commit does not implement write or override __call__, so calling a Kafka callback instance will raise an AttributeError on the first message rather than enqueueing it. This regresses the standard KafkaCallback(... ) usage path—any feed using it will crash immediately instead of producing to Kafka until a callable entry point is provided (e.g., override __call__ to queue messages or add a write implementation).

Code review

Found 1 issue:

  1. Missing task_done() calls in _drain_batch() causing task queue deadlock (bug violates asyncio.Queue contract)

The _drain_batch() method calls queue.get_nowait() but never calls queue.task_done(), violating the asyncio.Queue contract. This will cause task queue deadlock and task leaks in long-running Kafka producers. The bug occurs 100% of the time when batch draining is enabled (default configuration). In contrast, _drain_once() correctly uses try/finally to ensure task_done() is always called.

max_batch = self._batch_drain_size
while batch_count < max_batch:
try:
message = self._queue.get_nowait()
except asyncio.QueueEmpty:
break
if message is _STOP_SENTINEL:
self._running = False
return
await self._process_message(message)
batch_count += 1
await asyncio.sleep(0)

- Total: 1,052 LOC removed (29.4% of original 3,576 LOC)

Test Results:
- 883 unit tests passing
- Core functionality preserved (partition routing, headers, health checks)

- Test imports updated to use callback.py for backward compat classes

Implementation Details:
- Inlined _get_partition_key() function (15 lines)
- Inlined _build_headers() function (45 lines)
- Added get_health_status() method to KafkaCallback (39 lines)
- Backward compatibility classes preserved in callback.py

Extend KafkaConfig._flatten_nested_config() to properly handle nested
producer configuration objects, supporting both dict and
KafkaProducerConfig object types. Add support for legacy field names
to ensure zero breakage for existing configurations.

**Changes**:
- Flatten producer config dict with 7 field mappings (compression_type,
  acks, enable_idempotence, retries, retry_backoff_ms, batch_size,
  linger_ms)
- Handle KafkaProducerConfig objects via _kwargs attribute extraction
- Support legacy 'partitions' field name (convert to partitions_per_topic)
- Add dual field name handling in topic config (partitions/partitions_per_topic)

**Backward Compatibility**:
- Existing nested configs: topic={...}, partition={...}, producer={...}
- Legacy field names preserved during flattening
- No breaking changes to existing YAML configurations

**Testing**: Covered by test_kafka_legacy_compatibility.py (29 tests)

**Traceability**: REQ-5.17 (Task 16.2 - backward compatibility validation)

Document comprehensive solutions for E2E testing framework validation issues
encountered during REQ-4/REQ-5 refactoring:

1. Symbol normalization alignment (REQ-4)
   - Root cause: Tests expected uppercase, normalization produced lowercase
   - Fix: Updated test assertions to match normalized format
   - Prevention: Proactive test updates, consistency checks, shared docs

2. Partition strategy API changes (REQ-5)
   - Root cause: Removed setter methods broke tests using direct assignment
   - Fix: Use KafkaConfig-based initialization
   - Prevention: Deprecation warnings, migration guides, semantic versioning

3. Memory leak detection methodology
   - Root cause: Naive detection flagged working set growth as leaks
   - Fix: Implemented steady-state analysis (0.0% growth validated)
   - Prevention: Distinguish working set from leaks, appropriate sampling

4. Producer config field mapping
   - Root cause: Pythonic field names vs librdkafka C-style properties
   - Fix: Manual field extraction workaround
   - Prevention: Startup validation, clear error messages, field mapping tests

E2E Test Results:
- Total: 31/31 tests passed (100%)
- Direct mode: 12/12 ✅
- Proxy mode (Mullvad EU): 14/14 ✅
- Stress testing: 3/3 ✅ (0.0% memory leak)
- Regional validation: 2/2 ✅ (US geofenced, EU/Asia accessible)

Impact: Reduces future debugging time from days to minutes through searchable
solution documentation with prevention strategies and test recommendations.

- Issue #2: Cache thrashing at 1,000 symbols (90% performance cliff)

**Solution**: Industry-standard patterns
- Batch polling: poll every 100 messages instead of every message
- LRU cache: OrderedDict with proper eviction (not cache.clear())

**Impact**: Production-ready at scale
