@connieyang the goal of my patch is to entirely replace the existing kafka
spout; that includes the Trident API. In order to allow for a smooth migration,
as well as avoid any backward compatibility issues, I started writing the code
in a new package, completely isolated from the existing one. The goal is to do
a complete rewrite. It is my opinion that this task should be properly designed
to address future requirements, including proper testing and backwards
compatibility. However, some patches have recently come in addressing the JIRAs
I had assigned (despite my comments), which will inevitably lead to wasted
effort by either one of the parts.
Nevertheless, I will do my best to make the most of this situation for the
benefit of the community.
> As a storm developer I’d like to use the new kafka consumer API (0.8.3) to
> reduce dependencies and use long term supported kafka apis
