## Rationale

At the time of starting this repository I didn't find any bindings between Kafka SDK and Kotlin suspension, or KotlinX Coroutines Flow.
These operators should be implemented low-level, so they can guarantee correct cancellation support, and high optimised runtimes.

Some important aspects of Kafka are tricky to implement with the "low-level" Kafka API,
especially properly streaming records from Kafka and correctly committing them.
Additional complexity is involved in this process, more details [here](https://tuleism.github.io/blog/2021/parallel-backpressured-kafka-consumer/).

To solve these problems a couple of projects in the JVM already exist:
- [Alpakka Kafka](https://github.com/akka/alpakka-kafka)
- [reactor-kafka](https://github.com/reactor/reactor-kafka)

There was no implementation for KotlinX Coroutines Flow,
you can however quite easily use reactor-kafka with [KotlinX Coroutines Reactor bindings](https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/blob/master/reactive/kotlinx-coroutines-reactor/README.md).

This project implements the same strategies as [reactor-kafka] directly on top of KotlinX Coroutines to benefit from **all** their benefits,
and to open the door to potentially becoming a Kotlin MPP library in the future.

## Goals

- Lean Core library built on top of Kotlin Std & KotlinX Coroutines
- Extensions to easily operate over the Kafka SDK with KotlinX Coroutines and `suspend`.
- Flow based operators, so you can easily compose KotlinX Flow based Kafka programs
- Strong guarantees about committing record offsets, and performance optimisations in regard to re-balancing/partitioning.
- example for testing Kafka with Test Containers in Kotlin.

## Adding Dependency

Simply add the following dependency as `implementation` in the `build.gradle` dependencies` block.

```groovy
dependencies {
implementation("io.github.nomisrev:kotlin-kafka:0.3.0")
}
```

## Example

```kotlin
@JvmInline
value class Key(val index: Int)

@JvmInline
value class Message(val content: String)

fun main(): Unit = SuspendApp {
val topicName = "test-topic"
val msgCount = 10
val kafka = Kafka.container

Admin(AdminSettings(kafka.bootstrapServers)).use { client ->
client.createTopic(NewTopic(topicName, 1, 1))
}

launch(Dispatchers.IO) { // Send 20 messages, and then close the producer
val settings: PublisherSettings = PublisherSettings(
kafka.bootstrapServers,
IntegerSerializer().imap { key: Key -> key.index },
StringSerializer().imap { msg: Message -> msg.content },
Acks.All
)
KafkaPublisher(settings).use { publisher ->
publisher.publishScope {
(1..msgCount).forEach { index ->
offer(ProducerRecord(topicName, Key(index), Message("msg: $index")))
}
}
}
}

launch(Dispatchers.IO) { // Consume 20 messages as a stream, and then close the consumer
val settings: ReceiverSettings = ReceiverSettings(
kafka.bootstrapServers,
IntegerDeserializer().map(::Key),
StringDeserializer().map(::Message),
groupId = UUID.randomUUID().toString(),
autoOffsetReset = AutoOffsetReset.Earliest
)
KafkaReceiver(settings)
.receive(topicName)
.take(msgCount)
.map { "${it.key()} -> ${it.value()}" }
.collect(::println)
}
}
```
