Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-1477:
----------------------------------
Yeah Hey Joe, that is a great offer. I don't personally have a big preference
between patch and branch since either way I suppose you end up managing it via
git.
I don't think there is any concern about upgrading the old producer and
consumer. If folks are willing to do that, and we have sufficient test coverage
for the security related stuff, then that is great.
To second what Jun is saying I think for big user-facing stuff like this it is
good if we can avoid incremental development. Even though that is good for us
developers, I think it can be frustrating for infrastructure users if things
keep churning under them.
So I think what we need to do is what Jun described. We need to get a document
together that fully describes the cases we need to support, and how people will
use these features, as well as the relevant details of implementation and how
we will handle ongoing testing in this area. This will let us have something to
circulate to get broad consensus among users, who have very different
environments, so that what we build will work for all of them (or at least the
subset that makes sense). When we have this figured out I think it may well
prove possible to take pieces of functionality a bit at a time as we will know
where we are going and not have to worry about doing and then redoing things as
we evolve our approach.
I think the stakeholders here are at least the people who have expressed
interest so far which to my knowledge is BDOSS, Salesforce, LinkedIn, Cloudera,
and Hortonworks. But I expect there are a substantial number of others who
would have input.
I'd like to work with you to flesh out these requirements more. I am pretty
overbooked this week, but should be more free to start next week if that would
work.
