Summary: Add ability to specify a KeyClass for KafkaLog4jAppender
Key: KAFKA-2041
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2041
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: producer
Reporter: Benoy Antony
Assignee: Jun Rao
KafkaLog4jAppender is the Log4j Appender to publish messages to Kafka.
Since there is no key or explicit partition number, the messages are sent to
random partitions.
In some cases, it is possible to derive a key from the message itself.
So it may be beneficial to enable KafkaLog4jAppender to accept KeyClass which
will provide a key for a given message.
