Getting Started with Kafka
summary
Live demo builds a publisher and subscriber that run on simple hardware (demo uses one laptop, uploader promises Raspberry Pis) and shows topics with replication factor 1, ZooKeeper coordination and leader/follower replication. Message IDs are offsets that let multiple consumer groups read independently from earliest or latest positions; bringing consumers down and up replays from the tracked offset. Claim: Kafka is a durable transaction log that avoids message loss as long as replication survives (cluster not fully wiped out).
