-------------------------------------
Summary: Allow Consumers and Producers to Connect with User-Agent
String
Key: KAFKA-9369
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-9369
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: David Mollitor
Given the adhoc nature of consumers and producers in Kafka, it can be difficult
to track where connections to brokers and partitions are coming from.
Please allow consumers and producers to pass an optional _user-agent_ string
during the connection process so that they can quickly and accurately be
identified. For example, if I am performing an upgrade on my consumers, I want
to be able to see that no consumers with an older version number of the
consuming software still exist or if I see an application that is configured to
consumer from the wrong consumer group, they can quickly be identified and
removed.
