Bart Vercammen updated KAFKA-5387: ---------------------------------- Component/s: producer > [Kafka Producer] - expose cluster metadata > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-5387 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5387 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: producer > Affects Versions: 0.10.2.1 > Reporter: Bart Vercammen > > Kafka producer has a method to expose the number of partitions for a specific > topic. > {noformat} public List<PartitionInfo> partitionsFor(String topic) { > try { > return waitOnMetadata(topic, null, > maxBlockTimeMs).cluster.partitionsForTopic(topic); > } catch (InterruptedException e) { > throw new InterruptException(e); > } > } > {noformat} > Instead of only returning the number of available partitions for a topic, it > would be nice that the entire cluster metadata is exposed to the caller. > This way we can make use of the partitioners in a more dynamic way. > Something like this maybe : > {noformat}public Cluster clusterMetaData() {noformat} > Or, maybe even better, have the possibility to provide a partitioner when > producing data on kafka, instead of only a specific partition number or a > globally configured partitioner-class. > {noformat} > public Future<RecordMetadata> send(ProducerRecord<K, V> record, Partitioner > partitioner, Callback callback) > {noformat} > Any suggestions or comments? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
