2Package sarama is a pure Go client library for dealing with Apache Kafka (versions 0.8 and later). It includes a high-level
3API for easily producing and consuming messages, and a low-level API for controlling bytes on the wire when the high-level
4API is insufficient. Usage examples for the high-level APIs are provided inline with their full documentation.
5
6To produce messages, use either the AsyncProducer or the SyncProducer. The AsyncProducer accepts messages on a channel
7and produces them asynchronously in the background as efficiently as possible; it is preferred in most cases.
8The SyncProducer provides a method which will block until Kafka acknowledges the message as produced. This can be
9useful but comes with two caveats: it will generally be less efficient, and the actual durability guarantees
10depend on the configured value of `Producer.RequiredAcks`. There are configurations where a message acknowledged by the
11SyncProducer can still sometimes be lost.
12
13To consume messages, use the Consumer. Note that Sarama's Consumer implementation does not currently support automatic
14consumer-group rebalancing and offset tracking. For Zookeeper-based tracking (Kafka 0.8.2 and earlier), the
15https://github.com/wvanbergen/kafka library builds on Sarama to add this support. For Kafka-based tracking (Kafka 0.9
16and later), the https://github.com/bsm/sarama-cluster library builds on Sarama to add this support.
17
18For lower-level needs, the Broker and Request/Response objects permit precise control over each connection
19and message sent on the wire; the Client provides higher-level metadata management that is shared between
20the producers and the consumer. The Request/Response objects and properties are mostly undocumented, as they line up
21exactly with the protocol fields documented by Kafka at
22https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/A+Guide+To+The+Kafka+Protocol
23
24Metrics are exposed through https://github.com/rcrowley/go-metrics library in a local registry.
