Hi all, Based on our earlier discussion I have gone through and submitted a patch for the camel-kafka component.
The patch has been submitted in CAMEL-7339 ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-7339) and I would like to kindly ask your feedback on this. Among the the changes the patch introduce is in the syntax pattern of kafka component. The current component implementation syntax is : * kafka:<SERVERs>?topic=<TOPIC>* while in the proposed implementation is *kafka:<TOPIC??metadataBrokerList=<SERVERs> * Another change is that by default data are not in the form of Strings*(i.e KeyedMessage<String, String>) *but in the form of byte arrays *(i.e KeyedMessage<String, byte[]>)*. And finally allow for the transfer of the whole exchange by using the *DefaultExchangeHolder*.
