Neelesh Srinivas Salian commented on KAFKA-2145: ------------------------------------------------ [~parth.brahmbhatt] I had a few additional questions: 1) Does the patch mean simply adding a field for ownername as String? 2) I feel the dependencies for such would extend to each topic and be associated with the Topic generation as well. 3) TopicCommand.scala has describeTopic, alterTopic and createTopic methods that could use a owner tag. Thanks. > An option to add topic owners. > ------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2145 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2145 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Parth Brahmbhatt > Assignee: Neelesh Srinivas Salian > > We need to expose a way so users can identify users/groups that share > ownership of topic. We discussed adding this as part of > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2035 and agreed that it will be > simpler to add owner as a logconfig. > The owner field can be used for auditing and also by authorization layer to > grant access without having to explicitly configure acls. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
