Here is the list of todo items we have for the new producer (in no particular order): 1. Rename to org.apache.* package 2. Discuss config approach 3. Finalize config approach 4. Add slf4j logging for debugging purposes 5. Discuss metrics approach 6. Add metrics 7. Convert perf test to optionally use new producer 8. Get system tests passing with new producer 9. Write integration tests that test the producer against the real server 10. Expand unit test coverage a bit 11. Performance testing and analysis. 12. Add compression support 13. Discuss and perhaps add retry support 14. Discuss the approach to protocol definition and perhaps refactor a bit 15. Deeper code review 16. Convert mirror maker
This doesn't count general bug fixing which I assume we will do as we find them. Guozhang grabbed the integration tests and Neha grabbed Mirror maker conversion. If anyone else wants to grab something compression might be an easy well-defined one to pick up. -Jay
