> I'd love to use Apache Kafka, but for my application data loss is not acceptable.  Even at the expense of availability (i.e. I need C not A in CAP).
> I think there are two things that I need to change to get a quorum model:
> 1) Make sure I set request.required.acks to 2 (for a 3 node cluster) or 3 (for a 5 node cluster) on every request, so that I can only write if a quorum is active.
> 2) Prevent the behaviour where a non-ISR can become the leader if all ISRs die.  I think this is as easy as tweaking core/src/main/scala/kafka/controller/PartitionLeaderSelector.scala, essentially to throw an exception around line 64 in the "data loss" case.
> I haven't yet implemented / tested this.  I'd love to get some input from the Kafka-experts on whether my plan is:
>  (a) correct - will this work?
>  (b) complete - have I missed any cases?
>  (c) recommended - is this a terrible idea :-)
> Thanks for any pointers!
