Two > problems with this: (1) This is a poor use of zookeeper, and we need to > replace it with a more scalable offset store, and (2) it makes it hard to > carry over to clients in other languages. A first step towards accomplishing > that is to add a proper Kafka API for committing offsets. The initial version > of this would just write to zookeeper as we do today, but in the future we > would then have the option of changing this. > This api likely needs to take a sequence of > consumer-group/topic/partition/offset entries and commit them all. > It would be good to do a wiki design on how this would work and consensus on > that first. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
