Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform with five core APIs:

** The Producer API allows an application to publish a stream records to
one or more Kafka topics.

** The Consumer API allows an application to subscribe to one or more
topics and process the stream of records produced to them.

** The Streams API allows an application to act as a stream processor,
consuming an input stream from one or more topics and producing an
output stream to one or more output topics, effectively transforming the
input
streams to output streams.

** The Connector API allows building and running reusable producers or
consumers that connect Kafka topics to existing applications or data
systems. For example, a connector to a relational database might capture
every change to a table.

** The AdminClient API allows managing and inspecting topics, brokers, acls
and other Kafka objects.

With these APIs, Kafka can be used for two broad classes of application:

** Building real-time streaming data pipelines that reliably get data
between systems or applications.

** Building real-time streaming applications that transform or react to
the streams of data.

[ANNOUCE] Apache Kafka 0.10.0.1 Released

2016-08-10 Thread Ismael Juma
The Apache Kafka community is pleased to announce the release for Apache
Kafka 0.10.0.1.
This is a bug fix release that fixes 53 issues in 0.10.0.0.

All of the changes in this release can be found in the release notes:
*https://archive.apache.org/dist/kafka/0.10.0.1/RELEASE_NOTES.html
<https://archive.apache.org/dist/kafka/0.10.0.1/RELEASE_NOTES.html>*

Apache Kafka is high-throughput, publish-subscribe messaging system
rethought of as a distributed commit log.

** Fast => A single Kafka broker can handle hundreds of megabytes of reads
and writes per second from thousands of clients.

** Scalable => Kafka is designed to allow a single cluster to serve as the
central data backbone for a large organization. It can be elastically and
transparently expanded without downtime. Data streams are partitioned
and spread over a cluster of machines to allow data streams larger than
the capability of any single machine and to allow clusters of co-ordinated
consumers.

** Durable => Messages are persisted on disk and replicated within the
cluster to prevent data loss. Each broker can handle terabytes of messages
without performance impact.

** Distributed by Design => Kafka has a modern cluster-centric design that
offers strong durability and fault-tolerance guarantees.
