Description : Distributed, partitioned, replicated commit log service
Apache Kafka is publish-subscribe messaging rethought as a distributed commit
log. A single Kafka broker can handle hundreds of megabytes of reads and writes
per second from thousands of clients.
- why is this package useful/relevant?
Many companies are using Apache Kafka for a number of different problems. See
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Powered+By - how do you plan to maintain it? inside a packaging team
This will be my first package submission. Honestly, I'm hoping some companies
will come out and contribute considering how many big players use it. I only plan
to maintain this package for Debian Jessie and beyond (systemd) but willing to
accept contribtuions that support SysV init. Wikimedia Foundation has a fairly
through debian package with SysV init support.
Cheers!
