*Motivation* There are already many messaging applications written based on other messaging protocols, such as Kafka, MQTT and other customized messaging protocol. For those messaging applications to leverage the features/advantages of Pulsar, people have to rewrite their applications to use Pulsar API. That creates barriers for people to tryout.
As Pulsar's messaging model is a flexible and unified messaging model, which already unifies queuing and streaming into one messaging model and API. So it should be able to adopt to many other messaging models. Pulsar's tiered architecture makes it self a great messaging backend for different messaging protocols, so it would be great that Pulsar can provide a gateway/proxy to allow pluginning different protocols. So Pulsar can naturally support the messaging applications that already written in other messaging protocols/apis, such as Kafka, MQTT. This is the master issue for tracking the idea for providing a messaging gateway in Pulsar to support different type of messaging protocols. Also it would be great to collect the feedback from Pulsar users or people who is looking into using Pulsar.
