Re: [VOTE] KIP-714: Client Metrics and Observability

+1

I think this KIP solves a problem that has been around for some time with Kafka 
deployments, which is the ability to assess the current state of a Kafka 
architecture but looking at the whole picture. I also share other folks' 
concerns regarding adding runtime dependencies to the clients; this may be 
problematic for large deployments. Still, I think it is worth refactoring.

IMHO, it is a fair trade-off.

Status of KIP-714: Client Metrics and Observability

[rifer...@riferrei.com]

Hi there,

I want to get up to speed in what is going on with this KIP and how it works, 
so I would like to ask where can I get more information on it? I know it still 
being discussed, but I would appreciate if there are any code branches that I 
could use to see the design changes and understand the implementation behavior 
proposed.

Thanks,

— Ricardo
