------------------------------------
Summary: Count of bytes or messages of a topic stored in kafka
Key: KAFKA-1197
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1197
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: core
Affects Versions: 0.8.0, 0.7.2
Reporter: Hanish Bansal
Priority: Minor
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.
