kafka-basic

A basic .NET API over the top of microsoft/kafkanet that lets you get up and going with Kafka quickly and easily.

Kafka.Basic Library

This is a simplified API for using KafkaNET.

Check out Test.Consumer/HighLevelConsumer.cs, Test.Consumer/SimpleConsumer.cs and Producer/Program.cs for actual usage...

High Level (Balanced) Consumer

using (var client = new KafkaClient(zkConnect))
{
    var consumerGroup = client.Consumer(groupName);
    using (var instance = consumerGroup.Join())
    {
        instance.Subscribe(topicName)
            .Data(message =>
            {
                // Do something with message...
            })
            .Start()
            .Block(); // Block the thread from disposing everything
    }
}

Simple Consumer

using (var client = new KafkaClient(zkConnect))
using (var consumer = client.SimpleConsumer())
{
    consumer.Subscribe(topicName, partition, offset)
        .Data(message =>
        {
            // Do something with message...
        })
        .Start()
        .Block(); // Block the thread from disposing everything
}

High Level Producer

using (var client = new KafkaClient(zkConnect))
using (var topic = client.Topic(topicName))
{
    topic.Send(batch);
}

Consumer Tests

Fires up a consumer and listens for messages with timestamps.

# high-level (load balanced) consumer
.\Consumer.exe balanced -z [zookeeper_connection] -g [group_name] -t [topic_name]

# simple consumer
.\Consumer.exe simple -z [zookeeper_connection] -t [topic_name] -p [partition]

              99% <= 4.00 ms
            99.9% <= 25.00 ms

Producer Tests

Fires up a Simple Producer and sends messages with timestamps.

.\Producer.exe -z [zookeeper_connection] -t [topic_name] -b [batch_size] -m [number_of_messages]
