Roadmap and support

[danielmarbach]

Hi all,

I was looking into the various.NET Kafka clients out there and stumbled across this one. I was wondering if there is any official or unofficial commitment from Microsoft for this client? Where is it used? What is the roadmap for this library? Would be cool to get some insights.

Thanks

This Kafka .NET library (0.8 version) is on a deprecation path. It is currently being used in Microsoft production environment but we are in the process of migrating to Kafka 0.9. Therefore, you will not see much activity in this code path. This library is compatible with Kafka 0.9 but it does not use any of the new features.

What will you be using in the future?

We will begin with 0.8 Kafka .NET library (as it is already compatible with 0.9 Kafka) with a plan to upgrade the library to 0.9 later.

Any timeline for the new version?

You anticipate a seamless upgrade path where changes would be required only to take advantage of the Kafka 0.9 features newly exposed in the next client library version?

Unfortunately, I don't have a timeline on this. Like I said before, current 0.8 library seems to work fine with 0.9 and beyond. So we are not in a rush.

Also works with 0.10? Performance seem good?
