RE: Consumer in Java client

[Hema Bhatia <He...@apollo.edu>]

2 more questions to add to it:

- Any estimation for when new consumer client will be ready for high level consumer?
- Also, will it come with offset management functionality for high level consumer too?

Hi,

KafkaConsumer is still under development and not ready for wide use case.
Currently, it can be used to replace SimpleConsumer (low level consumer), but can not replace ZookeeperConsumerConnector(high level consumer). So if you need to use simple consumer, I would suggest using KafkaConsumer instead, otherwise, you probably still want to use ZookeeperConsumerConnector.

It will have an API for committing offsets. We are planning to provide
functionality with separate client for fetching offsets and Consumer may or
may not use that client.

Thanks,
