Just to extend what Neha said. The new producer also picks up the new partitions by refreshing the metadata periodically (controlled metadata.max.age.ms). The new producer distributes the data more evenly to all partitions than the old producer. Thanks, Jun On Tue, Nov 11, 2014 at 11:19 AM, Neha

The new producer is available in 0.8.2-beta (the most recent Kafka release). The old producer only detects new partitions at an interval configured by topic.metadata.refresh.interval.ms. This constraint is no longer true for the new producer and you would likely end up with an even distribution of

Neha, I understand that the producer kafka.javaapi.producer.Producer shown in examples is old, and that a new producer (org.apache.kafka.clients.producer) is avail? is it available for 0.8.1.1? how does it work? does it have a trigger fired when partitions are added or does the producer refresh som

How can I auto refresh keyed producers to use new partitions as these partitions are added? Try using the new producer under org.apache.kafka.clients.producer. Thanks, Neha On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 8:52 AM, Bhavesh Mistry wrote: > I had different experience with expanding partition for new prod

I had different experience with expanding partition for new producer and its impact. I only tried for non-key message.I would always advice to keep batch size relatively low or plan for expansion with new java producer in advance or since inception otherwise running producer code is impacted.

Hmmm.. The Java producer example seems to ignore added partitions too... How can I auto refresh keyed producers to use new partitions as these partitions are added? On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 12:33 PM, Shlomi Hazan wrote: > One more thing: > I saw that the Python client is also unaffected by addit

One more thing: I saw that the Python client is also unaffected by addition of partitions to a topic and that it continues to send requests only to the old partitions. is this also handled appropriately by the Java producer? Will he see the change and produce to the new partitions as well? Shlomi

No I don't see anything like that, the question was aimed at learning if it is worthwhile to make the effort of reimplementing the Python producer in Java, I so I will not make all the effort just to be disappointed afterwards. understand I have nothing to worry about, so I will try to simulate thi

The producer might get an error code if the leader of the partitions being reassigned also changes. However it should retry and succeed. Do you see a behavior that suggests otherwise? On Sat, Nov 8, 2014 at 11:45 PM, Shlomi Hazan wrote: > Hi All, > I recently had an issue producing from python w

Hi All, I recently had an issue producing from python where expanding a cluster from 3 to 5 nodes and reassigning partitions forced me to restart the producer b/c of KeyError thrown. Is this situation handled by the Java producer automatically or need I do something to have the java producer refres
