-----------------------------------------
Summary: Consumer / add configure method to PartitionAssignor
interface
Key: KAFKA-4106
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4106
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: clients, consumer
Affects Versions: 0.10.0.1
Reporter: Florian Hussonnois
Priority: Minor
Currently, we can implement a custom PartitionAssignor which will forward user
data that will be used during the assignments protocol. For example, data can
be used to implement a rack-aware assignor
However, currently we cannot dynamically configure a PartitionAssignor instance.
It would be nice to add a method configure(Map<String, Object config) to the
PartitionAssignor interface. Then, this method will be invoked by the
KafkaConsumer on each assignor, as this is do for deserializers.
The code modifications are pretty straight-forward but involve modifying the
public interface PartitionAssignor. Does that mean this JIRA needs a KIP ?
I can contribute to that improvement.
