Could not agree more Joe. It would be terrific to see the complimentary Authorization requirements reach the development and release stages, do you have any insight into the trajectory for that effort?

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.
