Hey everybody I am Nick, a contributor to php-rdkafka. In discussion with the maintainer, we found that we have different philosophies where the extension should go and how it should be maintained. This is why i created an alternative with php-kafka that will follow a different philosophy and have faster release cycles. You can find the source here: https://github.com/php-kafka/php-kafka
I would be grateful if we can also make it available via PECL. Thanks in advance Nick
