Stevo Slavic commented on KAFKA-873: ------------------------------------ Even with latest 0.10.0.0 Kafka clients, explicit topic management requires using AdminTools and working with ZkUtils/ZkClient. I guess better course of action (than switching dependency now) is to work on topic management broker API, to be able to remove ZK dependency from clients and tools completely, make only brokers talk with ZooKeeper. So work on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2945 and likes in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1694 After that, it will be also easier to abstract away in Broker metadata storage and coordination. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-30+-+Allow+for+brokers+to+have+plug-able+consensus+and+meta+data+storage+sub+systems > Consider replacing zkclient with curator (with zkclient-bridge) > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-873 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-873 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.8.0 > Reporter: Scott Clasen > Assignee: Grant Henke > > If zkclient was replaced with curator and curator-x-zkclient-bridge it would > be initially a drop-in replacement > https://github.com/Netflix/curator/wiki/ZKClient-Bridge > With the addition of a few more props to ZkConfig, and a bit of code this > would open up the possibility of using ACLs in zookeeper (which arent > supported directly by zkclient), as well as integrating with netflix > exhibitor for those of us using that. > Looks like KafkaZookeeperClient needs some love anyhow... -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
