Hey Sam, That's great. I would be happy to act as a point of contact if any questions come up or you need a reviewer for patches.
We haven't had an official discussion of roadmap but trunk already has support for keyed messages and log compaction and a cleanup of the log code. I think the goal would be to make this release as small and quick as possible with any bigger disruptive features going into 0.9. Here are some ideas of things that I think would fit well: 1. Any good housekeeping issues. 0.8 was a pretty major rewrite and getting that done and stable required ignoring a lot of basic issues that impact the out-of-the-box experience---good errors, documentation, logging, etc. We haven't filed a lot of JIRAs for this, but anything you see that falls under this umbrella would be a good target. Doing a few of these is often a good way to learn the code base. 2. Quotas. Jonathan had proposed working on this, but I don't think he ever got the time. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-656 3. Phase 2 of this wiki: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Offset+Management Folks--any other ideas? -Jay On Sun, Jun 23, 2013 at 11:01 PM, Sam Meder <sam.me...@jivesoftware.com> wrote: > Hey, > > I now have roughly a day a week I can dedicate to working on Kafka, so I am > looking for issues in the 0.8.1 batch that you think might be good starting > points.
