Helping out

Hey,

I now have roughly a day a week I can dedicate to working on Kafka, so I am looking for issues in the 0.8.1 batch that you think might be good starting points. Input would be much appreciated.

Speaking of issues, I think it would be good to either fix https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-946 for 0.8 or just drop the code from the release.

I actually don't think quotas really needs to do cross-broker
communication. I think we can just enforce it at the topic-partition level
and have the leader do the check (even if the user expresses the quota at
the topic level we will just turn it into a per-partition limit by dividing
by the number of partitions). If any one is interested in this I would be
happy to help work through a design and help get it in.

Quotas is a cool idea, is it going to do cross broker communication or it
doesn't need to talk to other brokers?

Yeah I can take a look at those.

The plan for branching is to do all development off trunk and cut
branches for releases. 0.8 was sort of a one-off in this respect.
Going forward the idea is that all new code will go against trunk.

Topic delete would also be a great one.

I would recommend we hold off on splitting the jars. I think post
0.8.1 (0.9?) would be a better target. The reason is that we have a
bunch of major surgery to do there--move to nio, fix approach to
request definition, redo producer and consumer api, etc--and I think
it will be a lot easier to do all the surgery at once.

Actually the intern ended up working on offset storage
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Offset+Management)
in case any one is still interested in quotas.

Great, I have a few patches outstanding, so if you could take a look:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-946
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-956

So the plan is to base 0.8.1 on trunk?

Mostly what I have been trying to do - some classes could probably also use some splitting up. I'll continue down this path.

Hey Sam,

That's great. I would be happy to act as a point of contact if any
questions come up or you need a reviewer for patches.

We haven't had an official discussion of roadmap but trunk already has
support for keyed messages and log compaction and a cleanup of the log
code. I think the goal would be to make this release as small and
quick as possible with any bigger disruptive features going into 0.9.
Here are some ideas of things that I think would fit well:
1. Any good housekeeping issues. 0.8 was a pretty major rewrite and
getting that done and stable required ignoring a lot of basic issues
that impact the out-of-the-box experience---good errors,
documentation, logging, etc. We haven't filed a lot of JIRAs for this,
but anything you see that falls under this umbrella would be a good
target. Doing a few of these is often a good way to learn the code
base.
2. Quotas. Jonathan had proposed working on this, but I don't think he
ever got the time. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-656
3. Phase 2 of this wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Offset+Management

Folks--any other ideas?

-Jay

Yes. And as you can see in that function, when no key is specified, it
chooses a partition for each message in a round-robin manner, while we want
to make all the messages in the same batch with the same topic to be sent
to one partition.

So if the message is the first seen with the topic in the batch, we can
choose one partition, but we want to stick to that partition with all the
rest messages with the same topic in this batch.

Yes. We will need to think a bit more for the more general case when there
are messages for multiple topics.
