David Arthur commented on KAFKA-474: ------------------------------------ I took a look at AbstractFetcherManager and the broker -> thread map. I don't see where/how this map is used to actually get the fetcher thread for a particular broker. I see the fetcherSourceBroker method, but cannot find anywhere where it is invoked. In fact, the only usage of this map I can see is when fetcher threads are created and removed. Am I overlooking something? > support changing host/port of a broker > -------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-474 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-474 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: core > Reporter: Jun Rao > Labels: bugs, newbie > Fix For: 0.8 > > > Currently, the consumer client caches the host/port of a broker and never > refreshes the cache. This means that if a broker changes to a different host, > the consumer client won't be able to connect to the new host without a > restart. One possibility is to change AbstractFetcherManager to maintain a > map of <Broker, fetcher>, instead of <broker id, fetcher>. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
