Jun,
I would be interested in participating in the replication skype call and helping out where possible.

Hi, Joe,

Thanks for your interest. We haven't started coding replication yet. There
is a bit more discussion on dependency in kafka-50 and some details in
kafka-47. Also, as part of the replication work, we have been discussing
wire format changes (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/New+Wire+Format+Proposal).

To get things started, my thinking is to do kafka-47 first, followed by
another jira that makes use of the new data structures in ZK, but only
supports replication factor 1 (basically making partitions logical and
global within the cluster).

We plan to start coding the replication feature in the new year. We can
setup a skype call in the first week of 2012. Anyone else is interested?

Thanks,

Jun

Yeah it might be good to announce the replication discussion time in a
separate thread (when we have a time) so people can find it.
