Cody Koeninger commented on SPARK-17812:
----------------------------------------
1. we dont have lists, we have strings. regexes and valid topic names have
overlaps (dot is the obvious one).
2. Mapping directly to kafka method names means we don't have to come up with
some other (weird and possibly overlapping) name when they add more ways to
subscribe, we just use theirs.
3. I think this is a mess with kafka semantics for the reasons both you and I
have already expressed. At any rate, I think Michael already clearly punted
the "starting X" case to a different topic.
4. I think it's more than sufficiently clear as suggested, no one is going to
expect that a specific offset they provided is going to be overruled by a
general single default. The implementation is also crystal clear - seek to
the position identified by startingTime, then seek to any specific offsets for
specific partitions
Yes, this is all bikeshedding, but it's bikeshedding that directly affects what
people are actually able to do with the api. Needlessly restricting it for
reasons that have nothing to do with safety is just going to piss users off for
no reason. Just because you don't have a use case that needs it, doesn't mean
you should arbitrarily prevent users from doing it.
Please, just choose something and let me build it so that people can actually
use the thing by the next release....
