-----------------------------------

             Summary: Add ability to specify a KeyClass for KafkaLog4jAppender
                 Key: KAFKA-2041
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2041
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: producer 
            Reporter: Benoy Antony
            Assignee: Jun Rao


KafkaLog4jAppender is the Log4j Appender to publish messages to Kafka. 
Since there is no key or explicit partition number, the messages are sent to random partitions. 

In some cases, it is possible to derive a key from the message itself. 
So it may be beneficial to enable KafkaLog4jAppender to accept KeyClass which will provide a key for a given message.
