Work on KAFKA-2440 started by Ismael Juma.
------------------------------------------
> Use `NetworkClient` instead of `SimpleConsumer` to fetch data from replica
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-2440
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2440
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: security
> Reporter: Ismael Juma
> Assignee: Ismael Juma
> Fix For: 0.8.3
>
>
> This is necessary for SSL/TLS support for inter-broker communication as
> `SimpleConsumer` will not be updated to support SSL/TLS.
> As explained by [~junrao] in KAFKA-2411: we need to be a bit careful since
> the follower fetcher thread doesn't need to refresh metadata itself. Instead,
> the information about the leader is propagated from the controller.
> This work was originally described in KAFKA-2411, which was then updated to
> be more narrowly focused on replacing `BlockingChannel` with `Selector`.
