Hi Jason, This is included with Kafka 0.8 - kafka.tools.KafkaMigrationTool. It runs a 0.7 consumer and 0.8 producer to copy the data between your 0.7 Kafka cluster and 0.8 Kafka cluster. Thanks, Neha On Tue, Jan 22, 2013 at 12:21 PM, Jason Rosenberg wrote: > Hi Neha, > > Can you describe the

Hi Neha, Can you describe the migration tool you mention below, for copying data from 0.7 to 0.8? Is this something provided with 0.8? Or do apps need to write custom migration tools? Thanks, Jason On Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 11:06 AM, Neha Narkhede wrote: > Broadly, the strategy stays the same,

Broadly, the strategy stays the same, except that the 0.8 broker will not be able to serve requests coming from a pre-0.8 client. So, the upgrade path will be and we will document this in detail soon - 1. Start a 0.8 Kafka cluster overlaid on the 0.6/0.7 hardware or on separate hardware if you can

The future of 0.7

2013-01-15 Thread Wouter de Bie
Hi all, We're currently using Kafka 0.7 and here and there we're running in a few bugs here and there. Since 0.8 is around the corner, it might not make too much sense in sending the patches for 0.8 upstream, unless 0.7 will live a (long) life next to 0.8. What's your take on the future of the
