Reg. beginner issues for a new contributor

[Abhinav Koppula <ab...@gmail.com>]

Hi Team,
I wanted to get started with contributing to Kafka and learn more about its
internals. Can anyone please suggest me some "good-first-bugs" which I can
look at?

Also, I had another basic doubt. I see that Kafka core is written in Scala
but I have read from some sources
<https://www.quora.com/Kafka-is-written-in-scala-Why-does-the-API-described-in-the-official-documentation-is-the-Javas-one>
that the team is moving away from Scala and trying to port the code to
Java. Is this true?

Thanks,
Abhinav

Just an add on:

Also Connect API and Streams API are written in Java. Not just
producer/consumer/admin clients.

Thus, Java code base is quite big and not just a small part.

Just to clarify, since I wrote the quora answer: Apache Kafka core code
(brokers) is not transitioning to Java. It is written in Scala and I didn't
see much interest in rewriting it. The *client API* was replaced over the
last 3-4 years and the latest versions are in Java.
