Hi All, I am newbie to Kafka and was looking to use java client implementation org.apache.kafka:kafka-clients:0.8.2.1. I was trying to write a consumer group using example given here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Consumer+Group+Example <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Consumer+Group+Example>
I see couple of issues here. 1. Above confluence page uses kafka.consumer.Consumer which seems to be deprecated and taken out in 0.8.2.1. 2. I realized that in documentation it mentions that 0.8.2 only has Producer implementation inside Java client. But I also see org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/KafkaConsumer in this 0.8.2.1 version. Not sure if this is ready to be used. Also javadoc on this class is different than 0.8.3 http://kafka.apache.org/083/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/KafkaConsumer.html <http://kafka.apache.org/083/javadoc/org/apache/kafka/clients/consumer/KafkaConsumer.html> Can someone please let me know if using KafkaConsumer is a good idea? If yes, then please point me to an example. Thanks Abhi
