I'd be happy to collaborate on this, though it's been a while since I've used PHP.
From what it looks like, what you have is a true proxy that runs outside of Kafka and translates some REST routes into Kafka client calls. This sounds more in line with what the project page describes. What I have proposed is more like a translation layer between some REST routes and FetchRequests. In this case the client is responsible for managing offsets. Using the consumer groups and ZooKeeper would be another nice way of consuming messages (which is probably more like what you have). Any maintainers have feedback on this? On Aug 3, 2012, at 4:13 PM, Jonathan Creasy wrote: > I have an internal one working and was hoping to have it open sourced in > the next week.
