> Usage of the org.apache.kafka.clients.Metadata class is synchronized. It
> seems like the current functionality could be maintained without
> synchronizing the whole class.
> I have been working on improving this by moving to finer grained locks and
> using atomic operations. My initial benchmarking of the producer is that this
> will improve latency (using HDRHistogram) on submitting messages.
> I have produced an initial patch. I do not necessarily believe this is
> complete. And I want to definitely produce some more benchmarks. However, I
> wanted to get early feedback because this change could be deceptively tricky.
> I am interested in knowing if this is:
> 1. Something that is of interest to the maintainers/community.
> 2. Along the right track
> 3. If there are any gotchas that make my current approach naive.
