Prashant Deva commented on KAFKA-1605:
--------------------------------------
the point is the information can be gotten from the zookeeper cluster so why
introduce all the additional complexity of depending on broker ips?
> Producer should not require metadata.broker.list
> ------------------------------------------------

> Key: KAFKA-1605
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1605
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
> Reporter: Prashant Deva
>
> Producer should just query the zookeeper and get the list of brokers from it
> directly.
> With the current requirement the producer explicitly needs to know the ips of
> all the brokers. So if you decide to replace them, you have to change the
> Producer's code.
> Isnt the whole point of using a zookeeper to avoid these kind of dependencies?
