I wrote a low-level interface for this a while back: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~cbc/KAFKAClient (it does skip zookeeper, though). And I've used it for reading from Kafka, but have not verified writing to it - and didn't finish that part (didn't need it).
I did need additional ByteArray at:put: and at: methods - for 32 and 64 bit access (and 8 bit signed access as well) - which where mostly added to Squeak (where I used this from).
