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

Hi [~bansalp],

 

Kafka Provides Authorizer as an interface. You should be able to implement the interface and write your own implementation. You will need to add your AuthorizerImpl class name in the config "authorizer.class.name". At Linkedin, we have our own implementation of Authorizer that does not use Zookeeper for authorization but rather talks to our inhouse ACL store. You should be able to do the same.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

 

Mayuresh

> I am using kafka with authentication and authorization. I wanted to plugin my own implementation of Authorizer which doesn't use zookeeper instead has permission mapping in SQL database. Is it possible to write Authorizer code in Java?
