Added new option to allow Kafka spout to save offset and other state using Kafka's offset management api Current Kafka spout stores the offsets (and some other states) inside ZK with its proprietary format. This does not work well with other Kafka offset monitoring tools such as Burrow, KafkaOffsetMonitor etc. In addition, the performance does not scale well compared with offsets managed by Kafka's built-in offset management api. I have added a new option for Kafka to store the same data using Kafka's built-in offset management capability. The change is completely backward compatible with the current ZK storage option. The feature can be turned on by a single configuration option. Hope this will help people who wants to explore the option of using Kafka's built-in offset management api. -thanks You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/hsun-cnnxty/storm kafka-storage Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/703.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #703 ---- commit 681150430a69c133ad40fc44dfd0fbf6a9d683d0 Author: Hang Sun <h...@shopzilla.com> Date: 2015-08-27T04:40:34Z Added new option to allow Kafka spout to save offset and other state using Kafka's offset management api ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
