KAFKA-6690 Priorities for Source Topics

[Nick <ni...@afshartous.com>]

Hi all,

I picked up KAFKA-6690 Priorities for Source Topics.

   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6690

In the ticket I made some notes about extending the API to incorporate 
topic priorities.

For implementation, I was thinking of filtering out lower priority 
topics in method Fetcher.fetchablePartitions.

Thanks for any input.

Regards,

Hey Nick,

This seems like a non-trivial change and more importantly - a change in the
public interface. As such, following our contributing guidelines
<https://kafka.apache.org/contributing>, it warrants a KIP
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+Improvement+Proposals>
(Kafka Improvement Proposal).
Please look into those, write an extensive one and start a [DISCUSS] thread
in the mailing group. You might not have permissions to create one and
you'll need to ask in a separate e-mail for somebody to give you (I can't).

This seems like an interesting change, I'm looking forward to it!

Best,
Stanislav
