Hi Manoj, Thanks for the feedback. We agree that javadocs are a must. As Jun mentioned, we are working on adding extensive javadocs to our new clients. The new producer javadoc, once released in 0.8.2, will look like http://empathybox.com/kafka-javadoc/ The new consumer javadoc, once released in 0.9, will look like http://people.apache.org/~nehanarkhede/kafka-0.9-consumer-javadoc/doc/
Hope that is useful! Thanks, Neha On Thu, Apr 10, 2014 at 8:14 PM, Jun Rao <[email protected]> wrote: > We don't have good java docs right now.
