Dynamic Metrics Reporter Producer reload

2024-03-13 Thread Kenneth Eversole
Hello,


We currently use short lived TLS certs for our CruiseControlMetricsReporter
which is creating issues when the cert reloads the producer client is
failing to restart as well. A rolling restart resolves this but I was
hoping to find out if there is a dynamic way to reload these producers or
any client reallly in a similar pattern we do with brokers.

Github issue on the cruise control repo for another reference:

Re: [PROPOSAL] Add commercial support page on website

2024-01-10 Thread Kenneth Eversole
I agree with Divji here and to be more pointed. I worry that if we go down
the path of adding vendors to a list it comes off as supporting their
product, not to mention could be a huge security risk for novice users. I
would rather this be a callout to other purely open source tooling, such as
cruise control.

Divji brings up good question
1.  What value does additional of this page bring to the users of Apache
Kafka?

I think the community would be a better service to have a more synchronous
line of communication such as Slack/Discord and we call that out here. It
would be more inline with other major open source projects.

Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-975 Docker Image for Apache Kafka

2023-09-14 Thread Kenneth Eversole
Hello,

I think this would be a wonderful improvement to the ecosystem. While
Viktor is correct that most Docker pipelines eventually lead to a
kubernetes deployment, that should not stop us from creating an
Official Docker Image. Creating a Docker image would allow us to ensure a
level of quality and support for people who want to deploy Kafka as a
container on baremetal machines, it could allow us to create
a sandbox/developer environment for new contributors and developers to test
and have a single agreed upon environment that kafka works in for future
KIPs and would most likely spawn more contributions from people wanting to
optimize kafka for k8s.


I am 100% for this and will gladly help if approved.

Re: Feedback of using the 'confluent-kafka-go' for reliablity and performance

Hello,

Xinli,

I can only speak for Cloudflare, but we use various versions of the Sarama
Go Client for various production workloads and they seem to function quite
well.

I am curious what your reasoning for wanting to replace Sarama?

Re: Max Multi Tenancy topic naming - Cloudflare

2023-05-01 Thread Kenneth Eversole
Hello,

I apologize for the lack of clarity in the question, this is a new area we
are exploring.


Frankly speaking, we would love to know the answer to both. I have read
that there is an upper limit to partitions, 200k with zookeeper and 2mill
with Kraft, but I have not found anything if there is a correlation between
topics. This also goes for the isolate permissions to name spaces is there
a correlation between the partition limit here and the limit allowed for
this feature?

Max Multi Tenancy topic naming - Cloudflare

2023-04-13 Thread Kenneth Eversole
Hello,

I am on the Kafka team at Cloudflare, and I was hoping to find an answer on
what the max value is for the following subject,
https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#multitenancy-topic-naming. We are
looking this for a workload that would bring us in the 100,000s of topics.


I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Kenneth
