>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: core
>    Affects Versions: 0.7.2, 0.8.0

> There should be direct way of measuring count of messages or bytes for a topic stored in Kafka.
> There are already some very useful metrics like byteRate and messageRate using what we can see count of bytes/messages coming into Kafka broker.
> I was looking for some jmx metrics that can give count of messages/bytes stored in kafka.
> If we look into data stores like hbase we can see  how many messages are  stored in hbase or if we look into search engine like elasticsearch then also we can see how many messages are stored/indexed in elasticsearch. In similar way i was expecting that there should be some way to see count of  messages or bytes for a topic stored in kafka without using any external tool.
> It will be really helpful if there is some support for this using some jmx metric or by script.
