Hi, Joe, Thanks for your interest. We haven't started coding replication yet. There is a bit more discussion on dependency in kafka-50 and some details in kafka-47. Also, as part of the replication work, we have been discussing wire format changes ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/New+Wire+Format+Proposal).
To get things started, my thinking is to do kafka-47 first, followed by another jira that makes use of the new data structures in ZK, but only supports replication factor 1 (basically making partitions logical and global within the cluster). We plan to start coding the replication feature in the new year. We can setup a skype call in the first week of 2012. Anyone else is interested?
