JIRA: KAFKA-4060
Released: <Kafka Version>
Please keep the discussion on the mailing list rather than commenting on the wiki (wiki discussions get unwieldy fast).
Motivation
This KIP removes the Zookeeper dependency from Kafka Streams. Currently, for Kafka Streams API accesses Zookeeper directly to create internal topics. We will use the client admin API introduced in KIP-4 to manage the internal topics via Kafka broker instead of directly accessing Zookeeper.
Public Interfaces
This KIP does not change any public interfaces.
Proposed Changes
We add a new KafkaStreams client which is used for internal topic management in Kafka Streams API. We will remove the dependency to Zookeeper from Kafka Streams API..
Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan
This feature is not backward compatible.
Test Plan
The same tests that are currently used will be used for testing the new internal topic creation.
Rejected Alternatives
N/A.
