> Capture Bro Plugin Enhancements from bro/bro-plugins
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: METRON-883
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-883
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Nick Allen
> Assignee: Nick Allen
>
> There are two versions of the Bro Kafka Plugin. I authored both of these and
> contributed one to Metron and the other to Bro itself. The original goal of
> doing this was to eventually deprecate the version maintained in Metron, so
> that the wider community of Bro could use and support the plugin.
> Since this time, Bro has created a plugin management mechanism and is no
> longer wanting to host plugins. They are asking individual maintainers to
> create their own Github repositories to maintain these plugins. This will
> require us to continue to support the Bro Kafka Plugin in Metron.
> Additional enhancements have been made to the version in bro/bro-plugins,
> which I would like to contribute back to Metron proper, since that is now the
> version that will live on.
> The enhancements address a potential thread-safety issue and also allows data
> from Bro to be directed to separate Kafka topics.
