DESCRIPTION

This module provides perl bindings for librdkafka.

METHODS

new

$kafka = $class->new($type, \%config)

Create a new instance. $type can be either RD_KAFKA_CONSUMER or RD_KAFKA_PRODUCER. Config is a hash with configuration parameters as described in https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/blob/master/CONFIGURATION.md, additionally it may include default_topic_config key, with a hash containing default topic configuration properties.

brokers_add

$cnt = $kafka->brokers_add($brokers)

add one or more brokers to the list of initial bootstrap brokers. $brokers is a comma separated list of brokers in the format [proto://]host[:port].

subscribe

$err = $kafka->subscribe(\@topics)

subscribe to the list of topics using balanced consumer groups.

unsubscribe

$err = $kafka->unsubscribe

unsubscribe from the current subsctiption set

consumer_poll

$msg = $kafka->consumer_poll($timeout_ms)

poll for messages or events. If any message or event received, returns Kafka::Librd::Message object. If $msg-err> for returned object is zero (RD_KAFKA_RESP_ERR_NO_ERROR), then it is a proper message, otherwise it is an event or an error.

consumer_close

$err = $kafka->consumer_close

close down the consumer

Kafka::Librd::Message

This class maps to rd_kafka_message_t structure from librdkafka and represents message or event. Objects of this class have the following methods:

err

return error code from the message

topic

return topic name

partition

return partition number

offset

return offset. Note, that the value is truncated to 32 bit if your perl doesn't support 64 bit integers.

key

message key

payload

message payload

CAVEATS

Module is in early stage of development.

Currently only bindings for high level consumer API are implemented.

Message offset is truncated to 32 bit if perl compiled without support for 64 bit integers.
