Yes -- thanks for this post. I am new to Kafka, and I'd like clarification on one point. The classes referenced by this post:
http://people.apache.org/~joestein/kafka-0.7.1-incubating-docs/kafka/consumer/package.html http://people.apache.org/~joestein/kafka-0.7.1-incubating-docs/kafka/producer/package.html are the canonical Scala classes for writing Producer and Consumer clients, correct? I am comparing these docs to the example clients (particularly the Python and C++ examples). It seems the example clients simply hard-code values such as "Partition ID", whereas these docs show the complete way to access such information. By the way, it seems that if one has to hit Zookeeper every time before sending a message to Kafka, throughput will take a hit. If one wants a high-performance system, clients must "use [a] local copy of the list of brokers and their number of partitions". Is this also correct?
