Vivek Madani commented on KAFKA-1737: ------------------------------------- Makes sense - I can work on this and submit a patch if no one else is working on this - I would think it will be best to add createZkClient in ZkUtils rather than Utils - let me know if you think otherwise or if you have other ideas. > Document required ZkSerializer for ZkClient used with AdminUtils > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1737 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1737 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: tools > Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1 > Reporter: Stevo Slavic > Priority: Minor > > {{ZkClient}} instances passed to {{AdminUtils}} calls must have > {{kafka.utils.ZKStringSerializer}} set as {{ZkSerializer}}. Otherwise > commands executed via {{AdminUtils}} may not be seen/recognizable to broker, > producer or consumer. E.g. producer (with auto topic creation turned off) > will not be able to send messages to a topic created via {{AdminUtils}}, it > will throw {{UnknownTopicOrPartitionException}}. > Please consider at least documenting this requirement in {{AdminUtils}} > scaladoc. > For more info see [related discussion on Kafka user mailing > list|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-users/201410.mbox/%3CCAAUywg-oihNiXuQRYeS%3D8Z3ymsmEHo6ghLs%3Dru4nbm%2BdHVz6TA%40mail.gmail.com%3E]. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
