-----------------------------------
[~scanteianu] , please remember to propose a
[KIP|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/kafka/kafka+improvement+proposals]
for this improvement. This sounds good to me.
> provide builders for producer/consumer

> Key: KAFKA-14373
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14373
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients
> Reporter: Daniel Scanteianu
> Priority: Minor
>
> creating a producer/consumer involves looking up the consts for kafka
> configuration, and usually doing a lot of googling for what the possible
> values are for each configuration. Providing a builder where there are named
> methods to set various configuration, with meaningful parameters (ie: enums
> for configurations that can only have a few values), and good javadoc would
> make it much easier from developers working from ides (such as intellij,
> eclipse, netbeans, etc) to discover the various configurations, and navigate
> to the documentation for the various options when creating
> producers/consumers.
> A salient consumer example:
> Examples:
> Pseudocode:
> Producer:
>
> {code:java}
> ProducerBuilder(String bootstrapUrl)
> { ... }
> ProducerBuilder withTransactionsEnabled(String transactionalId){ ... //
> internally sets a flag so that transactions are initialized when producer is
> built }
> Producer build(){ ... }
> {code}
>
> Salient Consumer Example:
> {code:java}
> /**
> *
> * @param strategy : if the strategy is set to NONE, then an error is thrown
> if a valid offset is passed to seek (etc.), if it is set to EARLIEST, then
> the consumer will seek to beginning (etc).
> */
> ConsumerBuilder withAutoOffsetResetStrategy(OffsetResetStrategy strategy){
> ... } {code}
>
> where OffsetResetStrategy is an enum with 3 values
> {code:java}
> public enum OffsetResetStrategy {EARLIEST,LATEST, NONE}{code}
