# Hermann
## A Ruby gem implementing a Kafka Publisher and Consumer
This library wraps the librdkafka library (https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka) which is implemented in C. This library must be installed before we can use the Hermann gem.
A Ruby gem implementing a Kafka Publisher and Consumer
This library wraps the [librdkafka library](https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka) which is implemented in C.
This library must be installed before we can use the Hermann gem.
### Usage
Usage is modelled on the kafka-rb gem (https://github.com/acrosa/kafka-rb) and is fairly straightforward.
Usage is modelled on the kafka-rb gem
(https://github.com/acrosa/kafka-rb) and is fairly straightforward.
- Kafka 0.8 is supported.
- Ruby 1.8.7 and Ruby 2.1.1 have been tested, but JRuby and versions >= 1.8 should work as long as the librdkafka library is installed.
- This is an early alpha version of the gem, so expect bumps in the road.

**Note:** The current implementation needs work to ensure thread safety.
Both Consumers and Producers now hold their own references to their Kafka state, and should be able to coexist nicely.
The brokers list and partition specification for Consumers are now working, as well. Producers will detect the number of
partitions in a topic and randomly spread their messages over the set of partitions.

Consumers currently do not remember their "last message", nor do they yet coordinate partition (re)assigment within consumer groups.

#### Consumer
require 'hermann'
require 'hermann'
\# Initialize requires topic, brokers list, and partition number
# Initialize requires topic, brokers list, and partition number
c = Hermann::Consumer.new( "device_actions", "localhost:9092", 0 )
c.consume() do
|msg| puts("Received: #{msg}")
end
c = Hermann::Consumer.new( "device_actions", "localhost:9092", 0 )
c.consume() do
|msg| puts("Received: #{msg}")
end
#### Producer
require 'hermann'
require 'hermann'
p = Hermann::Producer.new( "device_actions", "localhost:9092" )
p = Hermann::Producer.new( "device_actions", "localhost:9092" )
messages = [ "Locate", "Scream", "Wipe", "Degauss" ]
messages.each {
|msg| p.push(msg)
}
messages = [ "Locate", "Scream", "Wipe", "Degauss" ]
messages.each do
|msg| p.push(msg)
end
