We are trying to adapt kafka for our project and would appreciate comments on my following questions-thank you
1)where is javadoc for kafka 0.81? This helps me look at availaible API support. Googling (nor kafka wiki) didnt take me to javadoc 2)One of the use cases we are looking at is queuing support where system A(producer) and system B (consumer) would exchange messages under intermittent/constrained/limited network availaibility. From kafka wiki, I understand it supports batching and compression. My specific questions: i)will producer (A) be still be able to write to queue without throwing exceptions when network connection is down or should I handle the network exception b)can some one confirm that the queue is alive and messages on queue are persisted when network connection doesnt exist; c)I assume consumer (B) will be able to retreieve messages if above two (i and ii) conditions are met
