----------------------------------
Summary: Use `NetworkClient` instead of `SimpleConsumer` to fetch
data from replica
Key: KAFKA-2440
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2440
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Ismael Juma
Fix For: 0.8.3
This is necessary for SSL/TLS support for inter-broker communication as
`SimpleConsumer` will not be updated to support SSL/TLS.
As explained by [~junrao] in KAFKA-2411: we need to be a bit careful since the
follower fetcher thread doesn't need to refresh metadata itself. Instead, the
information about the leader is propagated from the controller.
This work was originally described in KAFKA-2411, which was then updated to be
more narrowly focused on replacing `BlockingChannel` with `Selector`.
