Asterix

A work-in-progress Kafka client library written in Elixir.

Status

Asterix will start out as a simple client to the Kafka APIs without any further features. When it is stable enough it could become a more capable client that handles the low level details for you automatically (batching, broker tracking, etc), using the aforementioned APIs. These following tasks are just for the initial scope.

Done

• Metadata API

Not Done

• Produce API (in progress)
• Fetch API
• Offset API
• (Offset Commit/Fetch API)

Running

Given that you have a Kafka server running at locahost:9092, run:

mix run -e 'Asterix.main :localhost, 9092'

Currently that only displays the structure of a MetadataResponse from Kafka.

Tests

mix test
