Hi, We are considering hosting Kafka as a service in our company (with multiple clusters and a common interface) . We have the following questions with regards to hosting Kafka as a service:
- The recommended Kafka clients and their api have changed since the last 2 releases - producer in 0.8.2 and consumer in 0.9. Are the apis considered finalized with 0.9 or will there be any change in the apis that might come in the future? - Also, currently the client library requires the metadata-broker-list - meaning that the clients have to know which Kafka cluster they need to connect to. Is there any well-supported TCP layer proxy for it? (not the Application layer REST-proxy as it will be used for the higher scale - millions/sec) Does anyone have a similar setup? Could you share your opinions? -- Regards Vamsi Subhash
