Summary: Add "logical clients" concept
Key: KAFKA-20631
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20631
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: clients, connect, consumer, core, producer , streams
Reporter: Matthias J. Sax
KIP-1313 (KAFKA-20548) propose to add a unique `clientInstanceId` field to all
request headers. This is a good improvement to be able to uniquely identify
clients connecting to brokers.
However, it does not help to identify "logical clients" like Kafka Streams or
Kafka Connect tasks, which are wrappers around "physical"
consumer/producer/admin clients.
We should have a "logical client-instance-id" concept allowing us to identify
these higher-level clients more easily.
Besides Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect, also other external/third-party
"clients wrappers" could benefit from such a feature.
