Steve Morin commented on KAFKA-156: ----------------------------------- Scott Carey - completely agree with your use-case here. The ability todo rolling restarts and have processes spill to disk when there is outages so that we can in some-case withstand hours in stead of minutes in the case of a failure of the cluster or a strange network outage. > Messages should not be dropped when brokers are unavailable > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-156 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-156 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Sharad Agarwal > Fix For: 0.8.1 > > > When none of the broker is available, producer should spool the messages to > disk and keep retrying for brokers to come back. > This will also enable brokers upgrade/maintenance without message loss. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
