Pradeep Gollakota commented on KAFKA-1175: ------------------------------------------ In the proposal, [~jkreps] talks about a couple of use cases at LinkedIn. # Group a set of topics that are related by the application area (ads, search, etc.) # Group a set of topics based on usage paradigm (tracking, metrics, etc.) At Lithium, we have an extension of those use cases. We have multiple products that are deployed for different customers. So we need to partition by customer_id and product_id. So, we may have hierarchical topics of the following nature: # /p1/google/tracking/search/click_events # /p1/google/tracking/community/message_create_events # /p1/linkedin/tracking/search/click_events # /p1/linkedin/tracking/community/message_create_events # /p2/apache/tracking/core/user_ident_event > Hierarchical Topics > ------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1175 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1175 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Pradeep Gollakota > > Allow for creation of hierarchical topics so that related topics can be > grouped together. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
