Summary: Make ConsumerIterator thread-safe for multiple threads in different Kafka groups Key: KAFKA-2662 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2662 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: consumer Affects Versions: 0.8.2.1 Reporter: Andrew Pennebaker Assignee: Neha Narkhede The API for obtaining a ConsumerIterator requires a group parameter, implying that ConsumerIterators are thread-safe, as long as each thread is in a different Kafka group. However, in practice, attempting to call hasNext() on ConsumerIterators for a thread in one group, and for a thread in another group, results in an InvalidStateException. In the future, can we please make ConsumerIterator thread-safe, for a common use case of one consumer thread per group? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
