Description

I saw there is kafka plugin in Apisix and there is a documentation https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/next/pubsub/kafka/ but I couldn't understand how I use the apisix route after creation. I though it is a broker url but it is not.

Any suggestion?

Environment

I though it is a broker url but it is not.

what is a broker URL? Please be specific about your issues.

The kafka-logger: https://docs.api7.ai/hub/kafka-logger plugin is used to log entries to kafka and the pubsub documentation link you shared is for proxying kafka.

Disclaimer: I'm no expert on this topic, but here are some information I gathered.

The test case (https://github.com/apache/apisix/blob/master/t/pubsub/kafka.t#L156) suggests that one should pull messages from kafka over websocket connections and with messages binary-encoded.

Only list_offset and fetch commands are supported at the moment. list_offset is used to check the message offset at the specified timestamp on the current topic. fetch is used to obtain the message from a specific offset.
