David,

Thanks, this is a great start. Is there any online documentation on how the Java/Scala consumers interact with Zookeeper? This would be useful so all consumers behavior the same way.

Hi Mark,

If you're interested, I've started a wiki entry to help people who are
writing Kafka clients:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Writing+a+Driver+for+Kafka

I'm currently working on one for Python. There's nothing on ZooKeeper in
there yet, but I'm implementing that functionality now and should be able
to add that information to the wiki soon.

Thank you.

Dave

Zookeeper integration is possible with ruby so there is nothing stopping
someone from writing a full featured client then correct?

Mark,

The java/scala clients are complete. The non-java support is kind of weak
at this point. In particular, Kafka has a thick client (lots of
interaction
with ZK during rebalance and committing offsets) in the consumer. This
makes reimplementing the logic in each language hard, At this moment, the
RB client only supports SimpleConsumer, not the high level consumer.

Thanks,

Jun

  Are consumer/producer clients typically written in Java or Scala? Are
they
both full-featured?

Are there any reasons why the kafka-rb gem couldn't be full featured
supporting both queuing and pub-sub models?

Thanks
