Summary: Consumer / add configure method to PartitionAssignor interface Key: KAFKA-4106 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4106 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: clients, consumer Affects Versions: 0.10.0.1 Reporter: Florian Hussonnois Priority: Minor Currently, we can implement a custom PartitionAssignor which will forward user data that will be used during the assignments protocol. For example, data can be used to implement a rack-aware assignor However, currently we cannot dynamically configure a PartitionAssignor instance. It would be nice to add a method configure(Map<String, Object config) to the PartitionAssignor interface. Then, this method will be invoked by the KafkaConsumer on each assignor, as this is do for deserializers. The code modifications are pretty straight-forward but involve modifying the public interface PartitionAssignor. Does that mean this JIRA needs a KIP ? I can contribute to that improvement. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
