Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-4857: ------------------------------------ There are 2 changes here. One is to use AdminClient, which doesn't require a KIP. The second is to update KafkaClientSupplier to include a method for the AdminClient. That does require a tiny KIP. We may do both at the same time, but it's not strictly required. > Improve Client handling > ----------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-4857 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4857 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: streams > Reporter: Matthias J. Sax > Assignee: Sharad > Labels: needs-kip > > Streams uses {{KafkaClientSupplier}} to get > consumer/restore-consumer/producer clients. Streams also uses one more client > for admin purpose namely {{StreamsKafkaClient}} that is instantiated > "manually". > With the newly upcoming {{AdminClient}} from KIP-117, we can simplify (or > even replace {{StreamsKafkaClient}} with the new {{AdminClient}}. We > furthermore want to unify how the client in generated and extend > {{KafkaClientSupplier}} with method that return this client. > As this is a public API change, a KIP is required. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
