+2, these kind of articles coming from the ones who created Kafka always
provide great value to Kafka users and developers. For my 2 cents, I would
love to see one or two articles for developers who involved in Kafka
development on the topics of how to develop test cases and how to run them,
what to expect when error occurs, typical system settings, I suspect that
most of us do run it on linux based systems, little pointer probably can
help a lot. and most importantly how to set up your dev environment so that
you are not struggling with the things the pioneers have already figured
out. For example, recommended dev. ide, debug methods, of course, these
will be the preference of the writer, no one is obligated to use but can
certainly get people started quicker. As Kafka draw more interest, I
suspect more developers will join, having something like that can be
extremely helpful.
Jay, articles similar to the one linked in your original email can actually
be submitted to developerworks, and you can get some money out of it if you
like. If you do not know how to do that, I can certainly provide some
pointers if you are interested.
Thanks.

Subject: Tips for working with Kafka and data streams
Hey guys,
One thing we tried to do along with the product release was start to put
together a practical guide for using Kafka. I wrote this up here:
http://blog.confluent.io/2015/02/25/stream-data-platform-1/
I'd like to keep expanding on this as good practices emerge and we learn
more stuff. So two questions:
1. Anything you think other people should know about working with data
streams? What did you wish you knew when you got started?
2. Anything you don't know about but would like to hear more about?
-Jay
