Well my (perhaps flawed) understanding of topic priorities is that lower priority topics are not consumed as long as higher priority ones have unconsumed messages (which means our position < HW). So if I'm doing this manually, I have to make some determination as to whether my high priority topic partitions are at the HW before I can decide if I want to poll the lower priority ones. Right?

I'm still getting my bearings with the new consumer but it's not immediately obvious to me how this would work. Hi Thomas, I was just responding to the general idea that you would have some kind of control topic that you wanted to read with very low latency, and some kind of set of data topics where the latency requirements are less strict. In that case, you can just have two consumers: one for the low-latency topic, and one for the less low-latency topics. There's a lot of things in this picture that are unclear. Does the data in one set of topics have any relation to the data in the other? Why do we want a control channel distinct from the data channel? That's why I asked for clarification on the use-case. In particular, it doesn't seem particularly easy to know when you are at the high watermark of a topic. KafkaConsumer#committed will return the last committed offset for a partition. However, I'm not sure I understand why you want this information in this case-- can you expand a bit on this? best, Colin -Tommy On Mon, 2018-10-01 at 13:43 -0700, Colin McCabe wrote: Hi all, I feel like the DISCUSS thread didn't really come to a conclusion, so a vote would be premature here. In particular, I still don't really understand the use-case for this feature. Can someone give a concrete scenario where you would need this? The control plane / data plane example that is listed in the KIP doesn't require this feature. You can just have one consumer for the control plane, and one for the data plane, and do priority that way. The discussion feels kind of unfocused since we haven't identified even one concrete use-case that needs this feature. Unfortunately, this is a feature which consumes server-side memory. We have to store the priorities somehow when doing incremental fetch requests. If we go with an int as suggested, then this is at least 4 bytes per partition per incremental fetch request. It also makes it more complex and potentially slower to maintain the linked list of partitions in the fetch requests. Before we think about this, I'd like to have a concrete use-case in mind, so that we can evaluate the costs versus benefits. best, Colin On Mon, Oct 1, 2018, at 07:47, Dongjin Lee wrote: Great. +1 (non-binding) On Mon, Oct 1, 2018 at 4:23 AM Matthias J.
