What is a status of this project ?

I see that this repository is not updated in a long time, can you tell us how far this client from production quality ?

It's been stalled recently since I needed to get the infrastructure setup (Kafka / Zookeeper / etc) before coming back to leverage this. It took me down a bit of a rabbit hole at work into some serious devops work, which I am just at the tail end of.

That being said, I'm likely to be back on this project within a couple weeks fairly aggressively. There are a few key missing pieces in my mind before this is truly production ready:

• SASL support
• lz4 of snappy support fully working

There are some fixes that still need to take place (make some of the tests a bit more robust, verifying telemetry, ssl, backoffs work in concert across the client, etc). I'd also like to see a commandline tool for operational support in reading off a topic, but that should be fairly straightforward.

My plan is to use this in production, and I had hoped to be doing so already -- other things have unfortunately taken priority up until recently.

Thank you, so if we like to try your code and don't need SASL an compression support it should reasnably work already ?

Yeah -- and am happy to work through issues with you if you find them. Like I said, I am planning on taking this to production in the near term on my side, so I'm going to need to tackle anything you uncover anyways.
