Hi, W < users@kafka.apache.org>e are looking at using Kafka, and currently experimenting with 0.8
We use Yammer Metrics 2.2.0 in our code base. The Kafka producer code currently has dependencies on a patched version of metrics which appears to be a version somewhere between 2.2.0 and 3.0, which is not API compatible with metrics 2.2.0 . So this clashes with our 2.2.0 version of metrics. I have a couple of questions: 1. Why does the Producer code have a dependency on metrics? I can understand why metrics are useful for the broker, but it seems that metrics could (at least) be optional for the producer. Are there any plans to change this? 2. Are there any plans to upgrade Kafka to the release of metrics 3.0 (where the root package name has been changed, and hence would not clash with our use of metrics 2.2)? thanks in advance David Black Workday
