Description

ARM support for Kafka.

I tried to deploy the Kafka cluster on the ARM server, but unfortunately I did not find the official ARM release for Kafka. I think more and more people will try the same thing as I do.

Now the CI of kafka (in github) is handled by jenkins-ci. While the test is running under x86 ARCH, the arm ARCH is missing. This leads an problem that we don't have a way to test every pull request that if it'll break the kafka deployment on arm or not. Similarly, we cannot provide the ARM release package without the ARM CI.

If Apache Kafka community has interested with it, I can help for the integration.

This is the umbrella issue to track the efforts to make Kafka run on ARM processors.
