Hi Chris, glad to hear that even more folks are going to (want to) use the feature. I didn't author the patch (Raja and Ivan did) and created the fork so folks could test it without much fuss.
I just commented on the ticket to address Jun's last comment and think it also answers your question too. I know folks are using this now and other folks are looking to use it out of the core project. As long as it has a way to cause no harm when it is off I believe it really adds to the value Kafka brings to a number of organizations that can't use Kafka just because of this one thing. I am looking forward to being able to commit it to trunk. /******************************************* Joe Stein Founder, Principal Consultant Big Data Open Source Security LLC http://www.stealth.ly Twitter: @allthingshadoop <http://www.twitter.com/allthingshadoop> ********************************************/ On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 11:34 AM, Chris Neal <cwn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi guys, > > This JIRA (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1477) leads me to > believe that an authentication layer implementation is planned as part of > the 0.8.2 release.
