kafka-python¶
This module provides low-level protocol support for Apache Kafka as well as high-level consumer and producer classes. Request batching is supported by the protocol as well as broker-aware request routing. Gzip and Snappy compression is also supported for message sets.
Coordinated Consumer Group support is under development - see Issue #38.
