----------------------------
Labels: project (was: )
> Add an API to commit offsets
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-657
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-657
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Jay Kreps

> Currently the consumer directly writes their offsets to zookeeper. Two
> problems with this: (1) This is a poor use of zookeeper, and we need to
> replace it with a more scalable offset store, and (2) it makes it hard to
> carry over to clients in other languages. A first step towards accomplishing
> that is to add a proper Kafka API for committing offsets. The initial version
> of this would just write to zookeeper as we do today, but in the future we
> would then have the option of changing this.
> This api likely needs to take a sequence of
> consumer-group/topic/partition/offset entries and commit them all.
> It would be good to do a wiki design on how this would work and consensus on
> that first.
