Joel Koshy commented on KAFKA-2017: ----------------------------------- In offline threads we were going to discuss the options of Kafka-based storage vs zookeeper for persisting state. I think it would be beneficial to finish that discussion either here or in the wiki or mailing list before doing this exclusively in ZK for 0.9 right? > Persist Coordinator State for Coordinator Failover > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-2017 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2017 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: consumer > Affects Versions: 0.9.0.0 > Reporter: Onur Karaman > Assignee: Guozhang Wang > Fix For: 0.9.0.0 > > Attachments: KAFKA-2017.patch, KAFKA-2017_2015-05-20_09:13:39.patch, > KAFKA-2017_2015-05-21_19:02:47.patch > > > When a coordinator fails, the group membership protocol tries to failover to > a new coordinator without forcing all the consumers rejoin their groups. This > is possible if the coordinator persists its state so that the state can be > transferred during coordinator failover. This state consists of most of the > information in GroupRegistry and ConsumerRegistry. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
