Jay Kreps reassigned KAFKA-167: ------------------------------- Assignee: (was: Jay Kreps) > Move partition assignment to the broker > --------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-167 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-167 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Jay Kreps > > Currently partitions are assigned to consumers for consumption via a > co-ordination algorithm by the consumers. This means there is effectively no > master broker node, which is nice in a way, but makes the consumer logic > complex to implement. It would be good to move the co-ordination to the > brokers. This would make implementation of a consumer client much much > easier, since only minimal zk interaction would be required. There are a > number of details that would have to be worked out to finalize the protocol. > Discussion is here: > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-kafka-dev/201109.mbox/%3ccafbh0q2adjxcbcyqgh8tb4jxbas3hq5rlxk9o9w76we-bwa...@mail.gmail.com%3e -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
