Hi Colin, Thanks for the feedback.
To be honest, I'm not sure either why Read was selected instead of Write for mutating APIs in the initial design (I asked Ewen on the corresponding JIRA and he seemed unsure too). Perhaps someone who was involved in the design can clarify. Thanks. --Vahid From: Colin McCabe <cmcc...@apache.org> To: users@kafka.apache.org Date: 06/12/2017 10:11 AM Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] KIP-163: Lower the Minimum Required ACL Permission of OffsetFetch Hi Vahid, I think you make a valid point that the ACLs controlling group operations are not very intuitive. This is probably a dumb question, but why are we using Read for mutating APIs? Shouldn't that be Write? The distinction between Describe and Read makes a lot of sense for Topics. A group isn't really something that you "read" from in the same way as a topic, so it always felt kind of weird there. best, Colin On Thu, Jun 8, 2017, at 11:29, Vahid S Hashemian wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm resending my earlier note hoping it would spark some conversation > this > time around :) > > Thanks. > --Vahid > > > > > From: "Vahid S Hashemian" <vahidhashem...@us.ibm.com> > To: dev <d...@kafka.apache.org>, "Kafka User" <users@kafka.apache.org> > Date: 05/30/2017 08:33 AM > Subject: KIP-163: Lower the Minimum Required ACL Permission of > OffsetFetch > > > > Hi, > > I started a new KIP to improve the minimum required ACL permissions of > some of the APIs: > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-163%3A+Lower+the+Minimum+Required+ACL+Permission+of+OffsetFetch > > The KIP is to address KAFKA-4585. > > Feedback and suggestions are welcome! > > Thanks. > --Vahid > > > > >
