Manikumar commented on KAFKA-1499: ---------------------------------- [~sludwig] yes, you can override on topic level for compression.type. You can use kafka-configs.sh script to set the topic level for compression.typec config. {code} bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --entity-type topics --entity-name my-topic --alter --add-config compression.type=snappy {code} > Broker-side compression configuration > ------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1499 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1499 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Joel Koshy > Assignee: Manikumar > Labels: newbie++ > Fix For: 0.9.0.0 > > Attachments: KAFKA-1499_2014-08-15_14:20:27.patch, > KAFKA-1499_2014-08-21_21:44:27.patch, KAFKA-1499_2014-09-21_15:57:23.patch, > KAFKA-1499_2014-09-23_14:45:38.patch, KAFKA-1499_2014-09-24_14:20:33.patch, > KAFKA-1499_2014-09-24_14:24:54.patch, KAFKA-1499_2014-09-25_11:05:57.patch, > KAFKA-1499_2014-10-27_13:13:55.patch, KAFKA-1499_2014-12-16_22:39:10.patch, > KAFKA-1499_2014-12-26_21:37:51.patch, KAFKA-1499.patch, KAFKA-1499.patch > > Original Estimate: 72h > Remaining Estimate: 72h > > A given topic can have messages in mixed compression codecs. i.e., it can > also have a mix of uncompressed/compressed messages. > It will be useful to support a broker-side configuration to recompress > messages to a specific compression codec. i.e., all messages (for all > topics) on the broker will be compressed to this codec. We could have > per-topic overrides as well. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
