[DISCUSS] KIP-60 - Make Java client class loading more flexible

[Rajini Sivaram <ra...@googlemail.com>]

I have just created KIP-60 (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-60+-+Make+Java+client+classloading+more+flexible)
to enable the Kafka Java clients to be configured and run in any
classloading environment including OSGi. It is a simple but flexible
approach that enables custom classes to be loaded by applications rather
than Kafka and fixes the issues with classloading of default classes.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thank you...

Regards,

Rajini

Since this is a small change, I will start vote on this tomorrow if there
are no objections. The code has been tested with OSGi, so it does work and
the approach is flexible enough to work in other environments too.
