Build Status

kafka - Publisher & Consumer for Kafka in Go

Kafka is a distributed publish-subscribe messaging system: (http://kafka.apache.org)

Go language: (http://golang.org/)

Changes

4/13 - Merged back from the apache repository & outstanding patches from jira applied

Get up and running

Install go (version 1):
For more info see: http://weekly.golang.org/doc/install.html#install

Make sure to set your GOROOT properly (http://golang.org/doc/install.html#environment). Also set your GOPATH appropriately: http://weekly.golang.org/doc/code.html#tmp_13

Build from source:

make kafka
Make the tools (publisher & consumer)
make tools
Start zookeeper, Kafka server
For more info on Kafka, see: http://incubator.apache.org/kafka/quickstart.html

Tools

Start a consumer:


   $GOPATH/bin/consumer -topic test -consumeforever
  Consuming Messages :
  From: localhost:9092, topic: test, partition: 0
   ---------------------- 

Now the consumer will just poll until a message is received.

Publish a message:


  $GOPATH/bin/publisher -topic test -message "Hello World"

The consumer should output message.

API Usage

Publishing



broker := kafka.NewBrokerPublisher("localhost:9092", "mytesttopic", 0)
broker.Publish(kafka.NewMessage([]byte("tesing 1 2 3")))

Publishing Compressed Messages



broker := kafka.NewBrokerPublisher("localhost:9092", "mytesttopic", 0)
broker.Publish(kafka.NewCompressedMessage([]byte("tesing 1 2 3")))

Consumer


broker := kafka.NewBrokerConsumer("localhost:9092", "mytesttopic", 0, 0, 1048576)
broker.Consume(func(msg *kafka.Message) { msg.Print() })

Or the consumer can use a channel based approach:


broker := kafka.NewBrokerConsumer("localhost:9092", "mytesttopic", 0, 0, 1048576)
go broker.ConsumeOnChannel(msgChan, 10, quitChan)

Consuming Offsets


broker := kafka.NewBrokerOffsetConsumer("localhost:9092", "mytesttopic", 0)
offsets, err := broker.GetOffsets(-1, 1)
