-----------------------------------
Summary: Update Ranger KafkaClient to use Kafka AdminClient API
instead of Zookeeper
Key: RANGER-3001
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-3001
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Ranger
Affects Versions: 2.2.0
Reporter: Ramesh Mani
Update Ranger KafkaClient to use Kafka AdminClient API instead of Zookeeper.
This would have the following benefits:
* Security: all Kafka commands are channeled and authorized through the broker
instead of direct Zookeeper data manipulation. When topics are generated via
Zookeeper, it might happen that even Kafka cannot access to the metadata due to
ZK ACLs.
* Simplicity/maintainability: the interface of Kafka becomes smaller and there
is no need to expose Kafka's own Zookeeper quorum but kept as an implementation
detail for storing metadata.
* Compatibility: zookeeper in Apache Kafka will be removed in a future version.
