[jira] [Commented] (KAFKA-5523) ReplayLogProducer not using the new Kafka consumer

["David Chen (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5523?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17541716#comment-17541716 ] 

David Chen commented on KAFKA-5523:
-----------------------------------

[~omkreddy] 
[~ijuma] 

Reasons we want to copy topics:

* People in my company want to use it. (And I have a strong belief other companies as well)
* Some people on stack overflow have posted about wanting to copy topics.
* There are several other posts that pop up when I search for a tool that copies topics.
* Ask yourself "how often do you copy paste text?" - I understand it's not the same but conceptually, it's very similar. In one use case, "I want to reuse this but I want to keep the original copy intact"

I hope that's sufficient enough claim as for why people want to copy topics to another one.

> Hi,
> the ReplayLogProducer is using the latest Kafka producer but not the latest Kafka consumer. Is this tool today deprecated ? I see that something like that could be done using the MirrorMaker. [~ijuma] Does it make sense to update the ReplayLogProducer to the latest Kafka consumer ?
> Thanks,
> Paolo
