Hi, As of this week, we closed KAFKA-336 (for controller to send requests to brokers).
We have people signed up on the following jiras: KAFKA-335: Embedded controller KAFKA-329: Create topic support (revisit based on v3 design) KAFKA-339: Use multi-fetch for follower replication The following jiras can be worked on in parallel and we welcome contribution from the community. KAFKA-288: rework java producer API KAFKA-289: reuse TopicData when sending produce request KAFKA-354: refactor setter/getter in scala style KAFKA-356: create a generic thread class Thanks, Jun
