A little more context about my needs: I have a requirement that I need to start/stop a topic at runtime based on a event sent to MM. at the moment I need to bounce the MM and find a way to exclude the topic from whitelist which is not an easy job with regex. If I can pass in a combination of

Thank you Guozhang for your advice. A dynamic topic filter is what I need so that I can stop a topic consumption when I need to at runtime. On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 9:21 PM, Guozhang Wang wangg...@gmail.com wrote: 1. Dynamic: yeah that is sth. we could think of, this could be useful

Hmm, what kind of customized filtering do you have in mind? I thought with --whitelist you could already specify regex to do filtering. On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 5:56 AM, tao xiao xiaotao...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Guozhang, I was meant to be topicfilter not topic-count. sorry for the confusion.

Note that with filtering in message handler, records from the source cluster are still considered as consumed since the offsets will be committed. If you change the filtering dynamically back to whilelist these topics, you will lose the data that gets consumed during the period of the blacklist.

I am not sure how MM is going to be rewritten. Based on the current implementation in trunk offset is not committed unless it is produced to destination. With assumption that this logic remains MM will not acknowledge the offset back to source for filtered message. So I think it is safe to filter

Yes, you are right. a dynamic topicfilter is more appropriate where I can filter topics at runtime via some kind of interface e.g. JMX On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 11:03 PM, Guozhang Wang wangg...@gmail.com wrote: Tao, Based on your description I think the combination of whitelist / blacklist

Hi Guozhang, I was meant to be topicfilter not topic-count. sorry for the confusion. What I want to achieve is to pass my own customized topicfilter to MM so that I can filter out topics what ever I like. I know MM doesn't support this now. I am just thinking if this is a good feature to add in

Hi Tao, Sorry I was mistaken before, yes in MM you can only directly specify --whitelist, --blacklist, and the number of streams you want to create via --num.streams, but cannot set specific topic-count. This is because MM is mainly used for cross DC replication, and hence usually will pipe all

The topic list is not specified in consumer.properties and I don't think there is any property in consumer config that allows us to specify what topics we want to consume. Can you point me to the property if there is any? On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 12:14 AM, Guozhang Wang wangg...@gmail.com wrote:

Tao, In MM people can pass in consumer configs, in which people can specify consumption topics, either in regular topic list format or whitelist / blacklist. So I think it already does what you need? Guozhang On Tue, Mar 10, 2015 at 10:09 PM, tao xiao xiaotao...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you
