Hi everyone I would like to start a vote for the following KIP https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-737%3A+Add+canTrackSource+to+ReplicationPolicy
In summary, the KIP proposes to add a default boolean canTrackSource method to the ReplicationPolicy interface which allows ReplicationPolicy to determine whether topics can be tracked back to the source. Since its a default method is being added, its both forwards and backwards compatible. This allows us to create a IdentityReplicationPolicy (aka LegacyReplicationPolicy) which behaves the same way the original MirrorMaker1 works. There is already a passing PR open with the implementation at https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/10648 Happy to receive votes and/or feedback on the proposal.
