Hi everyone, I'm Anton, a backend developer currently exploring Apache Kafka's internals.
I've been spending time debugging and understanding the Network and Broker components, particularly classes like Selector, Processor, and SocketServer. I've built Kafka locally, traced request handling flow, and studied how data moves through the network layer into the broker for processing. I'd like to start contributing and would appreciate some guidance on how to make my first contribution — ideally something small related to these components. Could someone please point me to a suitable beginner-level JIRA issue or suggest where I could begin? Thanks and looking forward to contributing, Anton Vasanth
