I have been updating the KIP-4 wiki page based on the last KIP call and wanted to get some review and discussion around the server side implementation for admin requests. Both the "ideal" functionality and the "intermediated" functionality. The updates are still in progress, but this section is the most critical and will likely have the most discussion. This topic has had a few shifts in perspective and various discussions on synchronous vs asynchronous server support. The wiki contains my current perspective on the challenges and approach.
If you have any thoughts or feedback on the "Server-side Admin Request handlers" section here <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-4+-+Command+line+and+centralized+administrative+operations#KIP-4-Commandlineandcentralizedadministrativeoperations-2.Server-sideAdminRequesthandlers>. Lets discuss them in this thread. For reference the last KIP discussion can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/rFW0-zJqg5I?t=12m30s Thank you, Grant -- Grant Henke Software Engineer | Cloudera gr...@cloudera.com | twitter.com/gchenke | linkedin.com/in/granthenke
