Have a scenario and wanted to understand how Kafka will behave. Will be trying this out but wanted to check if anyone else has already done this.
Running kafka 0.8.0. The way we launch kafka server is via invoking kafka.Kafka in one of a separate thread of our daemon java service process. Kafka runs fine, no issues there. The scenario is, we now have this property Œcontrolled.shutdown.enable' (enabled). When we stop our java service, it internally calls thread.stop() (for the thread which is running kafka). And then exit the JVM. What I want to understand is will the kafka shutdown thread be properly executed. The reason is, here kafka is not run as a separate jvm instance, but as a separate thread within a process. And that thread is stopped and then the the kafka shutdown hook will be executed as part of JVM shutdown sequence. Regards, Virendra
