Re: The easiest way to fetch the topic metadata in my java app

When you say "topic size", do you mean # of topics? If so, you can send TopicMetadataRequest to any broker. See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/0.8.0+SimpleConsumer+Examplefor details. In particular, if the topic list in the request is empty, you get all topics. Thanks, Jun On

The easiest way to fetch the topic metadata in my java app

Hi Team, I would like to ask you about the easiest way to fetch topics metadata from my app. My goal is monitoring of the topic size in my java app (when I have also producers). Is there any API in Kafka libs for that? I would like to avoid direct connection to the Zookeeper. Thanks, Chris
