Hi all, I've been looking at how a Kafka cluster could be used be deployed so that it can be used by multiple tenants. Specifically: a scheme where the clients belonging to each tenant receive the impression they are operating against their own cluster. The ongoing security and quota work looks like it might provide a lot of the isolation requirements, but each tenant would currently share the same namespace for topics and consumer groups. So the illusion of "it is my own cluster" is broken as soon as two tenants try independent to use the same topic name.
I wondered if other people on this list are interested in being able to support multiple tenants in this way? And / or if the ability to avoid clashes in the topic namespace would be useful? I am considering submitting a KIP in this area - but first wanted to get a feeling for whether these kinds of capabilities are of interest to others.
