I'm hesitant to cite it because it wasn't really a proper benchmark, but with the end-to-end encryption through Kafka proof of concept described at http://symc.ly/1pC2CEG, doing the encryption added only 26% to the time taken to send messages and only 6% to the time taken to consume messages. This

Another option is to encrypt the data before you hand it to Kafka and have the downstream decrypt it. This takes care of on-disk on on-wire encryption. We did a proof of concept of this: http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/end-end-encryption-though-kafka-our-p roof-concept (

You could do this with (I expect) reasonable efficiency and with no changes to Kafka code by using multiple topics. You can have a script that in a streaming manner reads out all messages in a topic, decrypts them with the old key, encrypts them with the new key, and adds them to a new topic. At

what you did. In our tests, the encryption didn't add as much overhead as we thought it would. -- Jim -- Jim Hoagland, Ph.D. Sr. Principal Software Engineer Big Data Analytics Team Cloud Platform Engineering On 1/14/16, 2:23 PM, "Bruno Rassaerts" <bruno.rassae...@novazone.be>
