Motivation
Currently there is a way to pass a KafkaClientSupplier
in KafkaStreams
constructor. This KIP proposes to add a public config in StreamsConfig
to pass the class through config and use reflection to create
...
use a customized KafkaClientSupplier
, they may still need to add required dependencies.
Public Interfaces
We will add a public field in StreamsConfig
called streams.kafka.client.supplier
to configure the KafkaClientSupplier
we use in KafkaStreams
.
Proposed Changes
In KafkaStreams
constructor, we will read the value of streams.kafka.client.supplier
from StreamsConfig
and if it's not null
and not empty, we will use reflection to create an object of given class and throw
an exception if the class type isn't KafkaClientSupplier
.
Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan
There will be no compatibility, deprecation and migration issues.
Test Plan
Unit test can capture the changes in this KIP. We can test happy path where object can be created successfully and exception case where class couldn't be found or type is wrong.
Rejected Alternatives
An alternative is that we don't need this change and user can use KafkaStreams
constructor to supply any KafkaClientSupplier
since it's a public constructor.
