Make the request processing in kafka asynchonous
------------------------------------------------
Key: KAFKA-202
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-202
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Jay Kreps
Assignee: Jay Kreps
We need to handle long-lived requests to support replication. To make this work
we need to make the processing mechanism asynchronous from the network threads.
To accomplish this we will retain the existing pool of network threads but add
a new pool of request handling threads. These will do all the disk I/O. There
will be a queue mechanism to transfer requests to and from this secondary pool.
