-------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
> MirrorMaker topic renaming
> --------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-3841
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3841
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: tools
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0.0
> Reporter: Ning Zhang
>
> Our organization (walmart.com) has been a Kafka user since some years back
> and MirrorMaker has been a convenient tool to bring our Kafka data from one
> Kafka cluster to another cluster.
> In many our use cases, the mirrored topic from the source cluster may not
> want to have the same name in the target cluster. This could be a valid
> scenario when the same topic name already exists on the target cluster, or we
> want to append the name of the data center to the topic name in the target
> cluster, such as "grocery_items_mirror_sunnyvale", to explicitly identify the
> source (e.g. sunnyvale) and nature (e.g. mirroring) of the topic.
> We have implemented the MirrorMaker topic renaming feature internally which
> has been used for production over a couple of years. While keeping our
> internal Kafka fork with the above "renaming" branch across version upgrade
> does not cost us too much labor, we think it may be meaningful to contribute
> back to the community so that potentially many people may have the similar
> expectation and could benefit from this feature.
