Unfortunately, it also does not support, as of Storm 1.0.x + Kafka 0.10.x (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2091). + The consumer libraries (not to be confused with the protocol) on the JVM + are binary incompatible. Note the discussion on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3006, + the main issue is the move to Collection over List. While this would be polymorphically + a non-issue, it would require a recompile of storm-kafka-client against Kafka 0.10.x. + + Since a targeted platform is HDP 2.5.x, which ships only kafka 0.10.x, we need + to support kafka 0.10.x. Therefore, if we are to use this, then we would need + to support both Kafka 0.9.x and 0.10.x. Unfortunately, this would require us + to fork some of the internal projects because the 0.9.x API has shifted + (e.g. the Admin functions have different parameters) and behaves + differently than 0.10.x in subtle ways (e.g. KAFKA_GET doesn't work as implemented). + + Rather than do this, we chose to depend on the HDP version of storm-kafka because + it is compiled against 0.10.x and therefore would allow us to not fork our support + for kafka. I do not like this bleeding of the HDP profile dependency into the default, + but I justify it by noting that this should be able to be removed when we migrate to + Storm 1.1.x, which properly supports Kafka 0.10.x. + --> + <global_storm_kafka_version>1.0.1.2.5.0.0-1245</global_storm_kafka_version> --- End diff -- The comment above this line is worth pointing out.
