Also, the most important part of any prototype, we should have a name for this producing-consumer-thingamgigy:
Various ideas: - Kafka Streams - KStream - Kafka Streaming - The Processor API - Metamorphosis - Transformer API - Verwandlung For my part I think what people are trying to do is stream processing with Kafka so I think something that evokes Kafka and stream processing is preferable. I like Kafka Streams or Kafka Streaming followed by KStream. Transformer kind of makes me think of the shape-shifting cars. Metamorphosis is cool and hilarious but since we are kind of envisioning this as more limited scope thing rather than a massive framework in its own right I actually think it should have a descriptive name rather than a personality of it's own. Anyhow let the bikeshedding commence. -Jay On Thu, Jul 23, 2015 at 5:59 PM, Guozhang Wang <wangg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I just posted KIP-28: Add a transform client for data processing > < > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-28+-+Add+a+transform+client+for+data+processing > > > . > > The wiki page does not yet have the full design / implementation details, > and this email is to kick-off the conversation on whether we should add > this new client with the described motivations, and if yes what features / > functionalities should be included. > > Looking forward to your feedback! > > -- Guozhang >
