Matan Safriel edited comment on KAFKA-156 at 3/9/13 5:17 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------- I was led to believe this is most probably not planned for 0.8 now. Just to comment that currently in 0.8 a message set asynchronously sent may partially fail, in the sense that only some of its destinations (determined by topic & partition) will fail while others succeed. That seems to mean a 'one log spool' for all messages (if all messages are spooled before attempting to send them) requires non-sequential management of such a log, or overheads over-proportional to the proportion of failed messages. Perhaps a log per topic would simplify the algorithm but then there's partitions as well... was (Author: matan): I was led to believe this is most probably not planned for 0.8.
