ZooKeeper integration

When is ZooKeeper integration planned?

I want to get 0.8 protocol support out the door (which also simplifies Zookeeper integration somewhat), but after that I'll probably look into it if there is still demand.

Are you in need of ZK support in the producer, consumer, or both?
What would be the preferred version? Kafka 0.7.* or 0.8.*?

Hello Magnus,

I'm looking for ZooKeeper support for the producer. My preferred version would be Kafka 0.8.*.

I'd probably be willing to pay you as a contractor as well. If that helps. :-)

+1 on zookeeper integration.

@gpatmore I guess you want zookeeper for the consumer, not the producer side, right? I.e., full consumer group balancing, etc.

The integration of zookeeper is not needed to make librdkafka work together with zookeeper. I've submitted a pull request to show how you can add zookeeper api's to your program to add a watch on changing broker lists. This is a slightly modified version of the existing example on how to use librdkafka in the examples directory.
