README.md

gevent-kafka is a client library for Apache Kafka, for the gevent framework.

You also need Kazoo installed.

Producers

The example below sends messages to the test topic:

from gevent_kafka import producer

p = producer.Producer(kazoo_client, 'test')
p.start()

while True:
    p.send(["hello there on the other side"])
    gevent.sleep(2)

Consumers

A consumer group is created using consumer.Consumer. Using that, you can subscribe to different topics:

from gevent_kafka import consumer

def callback(messages):
    for message in messages:
        print message
c = consumer.Consumer(framework, 'example-group')
c.start()
c.subscribe('test', 0.200).start(callback)
while True:
    gevent.sleep(5)

Things remaining to do

There are a lot of things to do:

• Unit tests
• Battle tests
• Multi-fetch operations
