I would like to initiate the voting process for KIP-60 ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-60+-+Make+Java+client+classloading+more+flexible). This is a simple set of changes that are fully compatible with the existing class loading in Kafka and enables Java clients to be run in multi-classloader environments including OSGi.
Thank you... Regards, Rajini
