Great, I have a few patches outstanding, so if you could take a look: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-943 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-946 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-956 > 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.

We'd also really like to have support for deleting topics (i.e. continue work on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-330) and would potentially want to change the build so it creates separate server and client artifacts. /Sam > 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.
