pykafka - Apache Kafka client for Python; high-level & low-level consumer/producer, with great performance

•    Python

---

PyKafka is a cluster-aware Kafka>=0.8.2 client for Python. It includes Python implementations of Kafka producers and consumers, which are optionally backed by a C extension built on librdkafka, and runs under Python 2.7+, Python 3.4+, and PyPy.PyKafka's primary goal is to provide a similar level of abstraction to the JVM Kafka client using idioms familiar to Python programmers and exposing the most Pythonic API possible.

ruby-kafka - A Ruby client library for Apache Kafka

•    Ruby

---

A Ruby client library for Apache Kafka, a distributed log and message bus. The focus of this library will be operational simplicity, with good logging and metrics that can make debugging issues easier.Although parts of this library work with Kafka 0.8 – specifically, the Producer API – it's being tested and developed against Kafka 0.9. The Consumer API is Kafka 0.9+ only.

kafka-python - Python client for Apache Kafka

•    Python

---

Python client for the Apache Kafka distributed stream processing system. kafka-python is designed to function much like the official java client, with a sprinkling of pythonic interfaces (e.g., consumer iterators).kafka-python is best used with newer brokers (0.9+), but is backwards-compatible with older versions (to 0.8.0). Some features will only be enabled on newer brokers. For example, fully coordinated consumer groups -- i.e., dynamic partition assignment to multiple consumers in the same group -- requires use of 0.9+ kafka brokers. Supporting this feature for earlier broker releases would require writing and maintaining custom leadership election and membership / health check code (perhaps using zookeeper or consul). For older brokers, you can achieve something similar by manually assigning different partitions to each consumer instance with config management tools like chef, ansible, etc. This approach will work fine, though it does not support rebalancing on failures. See <https://kafka-python.readthedocs.io/en/master/compatibility.html> for more details.

Greyhound - Rich Kafka client library

•    Scala

---

Kafka is shipped with a Java SDK which allows developers to interact with a Kafka cluster. However, this SDK consists of somewhat low-level APIs which are difficult to use correctly. Greyhound seeks to provide a higher-level interface to Kafka and to express richer semantics such as parallel message handling or retry policies with ease.

kafka-rest - Confluent REST Proxy for Kafka

•    Java

---

The Kafka REST Proxy provides a RESTful interface to a Kafka cluster, making it easy to produce and consume messages, view the state of the cluster, and perform administrative actions without using the native Kafka protocol or clients.

CSharpClient-for-Kafka -

•    CSharp

---

This library was created for Kafka 0.8 with an intention to have a native library built from scratch. With Kafka protocol getting updated frequently with new features (which is expected until it reaches version 1.0), it doesn't seem beneficial to maintain a library built from scratch. The right approach (and as suggested by Confluent) for now would be to use a C# wrapper around the librdkafka C-Library, which the confluent-kafka-dotnet client is doing.So, if you are using Kafka 0.9 or higher, please move to using the confluent-kafka-dotnet client library.

kafkacat is a generic non-JVM producer and consumer for Apache Kafka >=0.8, think of it as a netcat for Kafka.In producer mode kafkacat reads messages from stdin, delimited with a configurable delimiter (-D, defaults to newline), and produces them to the provided Kafka cluster (-b), topic (-t) and partition (-p).

kafka-go - Kafka library in Go

•    Go

---

sarama, which is by far the most popular but is quite difficult to work with. It is poorly documented, the API exposes low level concepts of the Kafka protocol, and it doesn't support recent Go features like contexts. It also passes all values as pointers which causes large numbers of dynamic memory allocations, more frequent garbage collections, and higher memory usage. confluent-kafka-go is a cgo based wrapper around librdkafka, which means it introduces a dependency to a C library on all Go code that uses the package. It has much better documentation than sarama but still lacks support for Go contexts.
