Larry McCay commented on KNOX-768:
----------------------------------
Hmmm, seems there may be some challenges here - we would have to have some
fancy rewriting of the returned endpoints.
I think that there is definitely a user base for a Kafka API via Knox but
things that have to be reconciled:
1. Is there a trusted proxy pattern implemented in the Kafka REST Proxy that
can be used in kerberos and non-kerberos environments that vets the proxy with
some sort of authentication?
2. What implications are there regarding the statefulness of the Kafka REST
Proxy on the Knox clients that would be consuming the API?
3. Should Knox implement its own API to frontend the Kafka REST Proxy
interactions?

> Kafka Rest Proxy ( as documented in Kafka REST Proxy )
> The Kafka REST Proxy provides a RESTful interface to a Kafka cluster. It
> makes it easy to produce and consume messages, view the state of the cluster,
> and perform administrative actions without using the native Kafka protocol or
> clients. Examples of use cases include reporting data to Kafka from any
> frontend app built in any language, ingesting messages into a stream
> processing framework that doesn’t yet support Kafka, and scripting
> administrative actions.
> This feature allow to call Kafka REST API through Knox.
