Daniel, Awesome, Ruby folks could use more Kafka love! I added the library to the clients list here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Clients#Clients-Ruby I'm also cc'ing this to the clients list since I think they'd be interested as well.
Lots of folks are using the Java clients, but many more are also using non-Java clients and it's great to see more clients supported across many languages. Even more compelling to see libraries deployed in production! -Ewen On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 7:11 AM, Daniel Schierbeck <da...@zendesk.com.invalid > wrote: > I've implemented a new Kafka client in Ruby: > https://github.com/zendesk/ruby-kafka > > Currently I'm focusing on providing a rock solid Producer API (since that > was the use case prompting me to write my own library) including graceful > failure handling, improved logging and instrumentation.
