This is a set of good housekeeping things for 0.8 open source release: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-718 This is just a small set of trivial cleanups that are very visible: - Fix logging for tools so we don't spew log messages in with tool output - Fix GC settings so we don't default to "stop the world" - Modularlize the script variables so you can override just gc, logging, etc - Remove delete-topic.sh because it doesn't work. - Remove incorrect things from README - Remove unused properties and deprecated properties from config/server.properties that give warnings - Misc. cleanup of config comments that were incorrect
This is the fsync management patch for trunk: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-615 I can't really do any testing on trunk until this is in. Por favor. -Jay
