Yes - this is what is basically what is termed selectors in JMS or routing-keys in AMQP.
My guess is that a KIP to implement this kind of server side filtering would not make it through. Kafka is a producer-centric firehose. Server side filtering wouldn’t really fit well with the original design goals. There are other broker-centric solutions out there already too that do this kind of thing. Client side filtering seems more plausible architecturally, but would it really add much? You’d still have to supply a custom filter. Having said all that, I may be completely wrong, I’m relatively new to this group. If anyone else has a more complete view please chip in. You could also promote the question to the dev group to reach a wider audience. B > On 6 Aug 2015, at 18:55, Alvaro Gareppe <agare...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Is this discussion open ?
