Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-608: ------------------------------- I guess that you are talking about ClientUtils. Currently, for java users, they only need to use the getMetadata api directly if they use SimpleConsumer (which is a public api). For that purpose, we added an api in SimpleConsumer to send TopicMetadataRequest. So, I am not sure if ClientUtils is really intended as a public api. We could make it a public api and get rid of the support of TopicMetadataRequest from SimpleConsumer, if people feel that's better. > getTopicMetadata does not respect producer config settings > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-608 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-608 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.8 > Reporter: Jay Kreps > Assignee: Neha Narkhede > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.8 > > Attachments: kafka-608-v1.patch, kafka-608-v2.patch > > > ProducerPool.scala contains the following code: > object ProducerPool{ > def createSyncProducer(configOpt: Option[ProducerConfig], broker: Broker): > SyncProducer = { > val props = new Properties() > props.put("host", broker.host) > props.put("port", broker.port.toString) > if(configOpt.isDefined) > props.putAll(configOpt.get.props.props) > new SyncProducer(new SyncProducerConfig(props)) > } > } > Note also, that ClientUtils.getTopicMetadata() does the following: > ProducerPool.createSyncProducer(None, brokers(i)) > As a result there is no way to control the socket settings for the get > metadata request. > My recommendation is that we require the config to be specified in the > Note that this creates a new sync producer without using ANY of the settings > the user had given for the producer.
