Kafka/distributed commit log service in Go.

Goals of this project:

  • Implement Kafka in Go
  • Protocol compatible with Kafka so Kafka clients and services work with Jocko
  • Make operating simpler
  • Distribute a single binary
  • Use Serf for discovery, Raft for consensus (and remove the need to run ZooKeeper)
  • Smarter configuration settings
    • Able to use percentages of disk space for retention policies rather than only bytes and time kept
    • Handling size configs when you change the number of partitions or add topics
  • Learn a lot and have fun

TODO

  • Producing
  • Fetching
  • Partition consensus and distribution
  • Protocol
    • Produce
    • Fetch
    • Metadata
    • Create Topics
    • Delete Topics
    • Consumer group [current task]
  • Discovery
  • API versioning [more API versions to implement]
  • Replication [first draft done - testing heavily now]

Hiatus Writing Book

I’m writing a book for PragProg called Building Distributed Services with Go. You can sign up on this mailing list and get updated when the book’s available. It walks you through building a distributed commit log from scratch. I hope it will help Jocko contributors and people who want to work on distributed services.
