Jun Rao commented on KAFKA-238: ------------------------------- The patch doesn't apply to the 0.8 branch. Could you rebase? can't find file to patch at input line 2260 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |Index: core/src/main/scala/kafka/api/MultiMessageSetSend.scala |=================================================================== |--- core/src/main/scala/kafka/api/MultiMessageSetSend.scala (revision 1232541) |+++ core/src/main/scala/kafka/api/MultiMessageSetSend.scala (working copy) > add a getTopicMetaData method in broker and expose it to producer > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: KAFKA-238 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-238 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: core > Reporter: Jun Rao > Assignee: Neha Narkhede > Attachments: kafka-238-v1.patch > > > We need a way to propagate the leader and the partition information to the > producer so that it can do load balancing and semantic partitioning. One way > to do that is to have the producer get the information from ZK directly. This > means that the producer needs to maintain a ZK session and has to subscribe > to watchers, which can be complicated. An alternative approach is to have the > following api on the broker. > TopicMetaData getTopicMetaData(String: topic) > TopicMetaData { > Array[PartitionMetaData]: partitionsMetaData > } > PartitionMetaData { > Int: partitionId > String: leaderHostname > Int: leaderPort > } > Using this api, the producer can get the metadata about a topic during > initial startup or leadership change of a partition. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
