Hi , Just want to ask some basic question about kafka simple consumer.
1. if I'm using simple consumer and doesn't really depend on zookeeper to manage partition offset. (application manage offset themselves). Will that remove the zookeeper dependency for consumer ? 2. if zookeeper dies, will simple consumer still able to get partition leadership information from broker itself ? Or it indirectly uses zookeeper to find out the partition leadership for particular topics ? 3. does simpleconsumer api have topicfilter logic similar to high level consumer provides ? Or I have to create multiple simpleconsumer for multiple topics themselves explicitly ? Thanks a lot, Weide
