Which producer to use?

[Kyle Banker <ky...@gmail.com>]

As of today, the latest Kafka docs show kafka.javaapi.producer.Producer in
their example of the producer API (
https://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#producerapi).

Is there a reason why the latest producer client
(org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.Producer)
isn't mentioned? Is this client not preferred or production-ready?

I ended up coding against the new one,
org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.Producer, though it is not yet in
production here. It might be slightly more painful to select a partition
since there isn't a place to plug in a partitioner class, but overall it
was quite easy and had the key feature of an Async callback.

Hi Kyle,

We have not fully completed the test in production yet for the new
producer, currently some improvement jiras like KAFKA-1498 are still open.
Once we have it stabilized in production at LinkedIn we plan to update the
wiki in favor of the new producer.
