Sounds like the parallel consumer is what you want: https://github.com/confluentinc/parallel-consumer Or at least decide why that won't work before writing something yourself. - alex On Tue, Oct 3, 2023 at 4:20 PM Sree Sanjeev Kandasamy Gokulrajan < sreesanjee...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey Neeraj

Hi Sree Sanjeev, Other than the info from Colt, why can't you just increase partitions and scale the number of consumers accordingly ? Or build your application as a KStreams application and take advantage of horizontal and vertical scalability ? Regards, Neeraj On Wednesday, 4 October,

Hi Sree. Yeah, parallel-processing-per-partition requirement often arises particularly when the throughput is limited due to external I/O latency and there are some solutions: - https://github.com/line/decaton * provides per-key ordering guarantee (or can be unordered if no ordering is necess

Hello, Currently, you cannot have more than one consumer consuming from a partition in Kafka. However, there is active discussion about a proposal to enable queueing semantics for Kafka, which is a superset of the feature you are talking about. Feel free to check KIP-932: https://cwiki.apache.org/

Multiple consumers for a Single Partition in Kafka

2023-10-03 Thread Sree Sanjeev Kandasamy Gokulrajan
I'm interested in knowing if we can achieve parallelism by allowing multiple consumers to subscribe to a single partition of a topic. To explore potential solutions, I'm considering the following approach. 1. Implementing a locking mechanism to control access to the offsets in a partition to avoi
