sarama.go

/*
Package sarama is a pure Go client library for dealing with Apache Kafka (versions 0.8 and later). It includes a high-level
API for easily producing and consuming messages, and a low-level API for controlling bytes on the wire when the high-level
API is insufficient. Usage examples for the high-level APIs are provided inline with their full documentation.

To produce messages, use either the AsyncProducer or the SyncProducer. The AsyncProducer accepts messages on a channel
and produces them asynchronously in the background as efficiently as possible; it is preferred in most cases.
The SyncProducer provides a method which will block until Kafka acknowledges the message as produced. This can be
useful but comes with two caveats: it will generally be less efficient, and the actual durability guarantees
depend on the configured value of `Producer.RequiredAcks`. There are configurations where a message acknowledged by the
SyncProducer can still sometimes be lost.

To consume messages, use the Consumer. Note that Sarama's Consumer implementation does not currently support automatic
consumer-group rebalancing and offset tracking. For Zookeeper-based tracking (Kafka 0.8.2 and earlier), the
https://github.com/wvanbergen/kafka library builds on Sarama to add this support. For Kafka-based tracking (Kafka 0.9
and later), the https://github.com/bsm/sarama-cluster library builds on Sarama to add this support.

For lower-level needs, the Broker and Request/Response objects permit precise control over each connection
and message sent on the wire; the Client provides higher-level metadata management that is shared between
the producers and the consumer. The Request/Response objects and properties are mostly undocumented, as they line up
exactly with the protocol fields documented by Kafka at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/A+Guide+To+The+Kafka+Protocol

// to process.

// MaxResponseSize is the maximum size (in bytes) of any response that Sarama will attempt to parse. If
// a broker returns a response message larger than this value, Sarama will return a PacketDecodingError to
// protect the client from running out of memory. Please note that brokers do not have any natural limit on
// the size of responses they send. In particular, they can send arbitrarily large fetch responses to consumers
// (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-2063).
