Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-3706: ------------------------------------ Thanks for the JIRA and PR. We want to do this eventually, but only once the beta label is removed from the new consumer. This is sort of a duplicate of: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3282 > kafka-console-consumer.sh picks up old consumer by default > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-3706 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3706 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.9.0.1 > Reporter: Arun Mahadevan > Assignee: Arun Mahadevan > Priority: Minor > > The default configuration picks up old consumer. To use new consumer we need > to pass --new-consumer option. Since the old consumer code is not going to be > maintained its better to make the new-consumer as default. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
