Hey Samza lovers, I am sorry I haven't been updating you guys on my progress but we have been communicating with Yan Fang (my GSoC mentor) regularly during GSoC and after it as well. So GSoC is over, I have accomplished both my goals that were implementing the integration with Amazon Kinesis and ActiveMQ. I will be gettting ready the patches in the following weeks thus Samza can have the code for it. I gave a talk at ApacheCon BigData yesterday about the integration with Kinesis and what we tried to get it properly working. People were quite interested, I didn't have a full room like Michael Noll from Confluent ;) but a good show-up. The only question that I feel I didn't answer extensively was "why would anyone choose Samza for stream processing right now with KafkaStreams coming soon" LOL I said that yeah it was going under restructuring because all the reasons explained in the extensive email thread we had a couple of months ago. Michael's opinion was also valuable he said that maybe people should wait until KafkaStreams comes out and then see how the two projects look like at that moment. Anyway, I think it was good, and let's keep the patches coming on ;)
