Joel Koshy commented on KAFKA-1580: ----------------------------------- [~guozhang] I believe this change got lost as part of KAFKA-1583 Would you mind taking a look? Also, I recently ran into a situation where I actually _needed_ to produce messages to the consumer offsets topic. I can send a separate email on that. So I would suggest allowing producer requests to internal topics if a special "admin" client id is specified (similar to how we allow fetches past the highwatermark with a special debugging client id). > Reject producer requests to internal topics > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1580 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1580 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Reporter: Joel Koshy > Assignee: Jonathan Natkins > Fix For: 0.8.2 > > Attachments: KAFKA-1580.patch, KAFKA-1580_2014-08-14_16:50:40.patch, > KAFKA-1580_2014-08-14_16:56:50.patch, KAFKA-1580_2014-08-14_18:21:38.patch, > KAFKA-1580_2014-08-15_15:05:29.patch > > > Producer requests to internal topics (currently only __consumer_offset) can > be disastrous. > E.g., if we allow a message to be appended to the offsets topic this could > lead to fatal exceptions when loading the offsets topic and when compacting > the log. > Producer requests to these topics should be rejected. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
