Be aware that the old producer and new producer have different partitioning algorithms: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-users/201504.mbox/%3C4A6E5F2C-232E-4288-8F9F-3F9D9AE05718%40tivo.com%3E
This could bite you if you rely on key-based partitioning and are switching from the old producer to the new producer.

And this is not important at all if you provide your own partitioning algorithm. -James On Jul 17, 2015, at 1:23 PM, Sivananda Reddy <sivananda2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Jay, > > I found it here: > http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#newproducerconfigs, the same > link is reported by James. > > @Joel: Thanks a lot for the info, I will use new producer > > Regards, > Siva. > > On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 12:02 PM, James Cheng <jch...@tivo.com> wrote: > >> http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html, Section 3.4. >> >>> 3.4 New Producer Configs >>> >>> We are working on a replacement for our existing producer.
