Hi dev list, As suggested on the website, this is a friendly nag. I submitted a patch for a config change. Can someone please take a look?
Here's the message I posted to the users list: OK. I've submitted a patch along with unit tests. This change is backward compatible with two new optional parameters called advertise.host.name and advertise.port. The reason I called them that instead of zkHost.name and zkHost.port is that the zkHost.* names sound like they represent the host and port of a ZooKeeper server rather than the host and port info of the broker that gets published to ZK. # Hostname the broker will advertise to producers and consumers. If not set, it uses the # value for "host.name" if configured. Otherwise, it will use the value returned from # java.net.InetAddress.getCanonicalHostName(). #advertise.host.name=<hostname routable by clients> # The port to publish to ZooKeeper for clients to use. If this is not set, # it will publish the same port that the broker binds to. #advertise.port=<port accessible by clients> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1092 Please take a look and let me know if anything else is needed. Cheers, Roger
