---------------------------------
Summary: Allow consumers to read messages from LEO
Key: KAFKA-6217
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6217
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: consumer, core
Reporter: Ashok Bala
we have a use case(real time customer facing application) to support high
throughput(reduced latency) & high volume of transactions through Kafka. During
performance testing, we noted that consumer listening to single partition
topics get messages faster than the consumers listening to replicated
partitions.
Make messages to be visible immediately to consumer rather than waiting for
high water mark. Make change in consumer & core, based on consumer
configuration, LEO messages to be visible to consumer like followers. It is the
risk of consumer to lose messages during fail over of leader for which we are
OK.
