Franz-go is an all-encompassing Apache Kafka client fully written in Go. This library aims to provide **every Kafka feature** from
Apache Kafka v0.8.0 onward. It has support for transactions, regex topic consuming, the latest partitioning strategies,
data loss detection, closest replica fetching, and more. If a client KIP exists, this library aims to support it.

This library attempts to provide an intuitive API while interacting with Kafka the way Kafka expects (timeouts, etc.).

## Features

- Feature complete client (Kafka >= 0.8.0 through v4.2+) _minus_ the next generation group protocol, which is implemented but deliberately hidden due to concerns with the broker implementation (see the 1.19.0 release notes for how to opt in)
- Full Exactly-Once-Semantics (EOS)
- Idempotent & transactional producers
- Simple (legacy) consumer
- Group consumers with eager (roundrobin, range, sticky) and cooperative (cooperative-sticky) balancers, with optional rack-aware partition assignment (KIP-881)
- Share group (queue) consumers (KIP-932)
- All compression types supported: gzip, snappy, lz4, zstd
- SSL/TLS provided through custom dialer options
- All SASL mechanisms supported (GSSAPI/Kerberos, PLAIN, SCRAM, and OAUTHBEARER)
- Low-level admin functionality supported through a simple `Request` function
- A [high-level admin package][KADMC] with many helper types to make cluster administration easy
- Utilizes modern & idiomatic Go (support for contexts, variadic configuration options, ...)
- Highly performant by avoiding channels and goroutines where not necessary
- Written in pure Go (no wrapper lib for a C library or other bindings)
- Ability to add detailed log messages or metrics using hooks
- Plug-in metrics support for prometheus, zap, etc.
- A [schema registry client][SRC] and convenience Serde type for encoding and decoding

## Works with any Kafka compatible brokers:

- [**Redpanda**](https://vectorized.io/): the fastest and most efficient Kafka compatible event streaming platform
- **Kafka**: the original Java project
- **Confluent Platform**
- **Microsoft Event Hubs**
  - Event Hubs does [not support][MSEH] producing with compression; be sure to use `kgo.ProducerBatchCompression(kgo.NoCompression)`.
- **Amazon MSK**

## Install

This repo contains multiple tags to allow separate features to be developed and
released independently. The main client is in franz-go. Plugins are released
from `plugin/{plugin}`. The raw-protocol package is released from `pkg/kmsg`,
and the admin package is released from `pkg/kadm`.

The main client is located in the package `github.com/twmb/franz-go/pkg/kgo`,
while the root of the project is at `github.com/twmb/franz-go`. There are
a few extra packages within the project, as well as a few sub-modules. To
use the main kgo package,

```
go get github.com/twmb/franz-go
```

To use a plugin,

```
go get github.com/twmb/franz-go/plugin/kzap
```

To use kadm,

```
go get github.com/twmb/franz-go/pkg/kadm
```

As an example, your require section in go.mod may look like this:


```
require (
	github.com/twmb/franz-go v1.21.0
	github.com/twmb/franz-go/pkg/kmsg v1.13.1
)
```

## Getting started

Here's a basic overview of producing and consuming:

```go
seeds := []string{"localhost:9092"}
// One client can both produce and consume!
// Consuming can either be direct (no consumer group), or through a group. Below, we use a group.
cl, err := kgo.NewClient(
	kgo.SeedBrokers(seeds...),
	kgo.ConsumerGroup("my-group-identifier"),
	kgo.ConsumeTopics("foo"),
)
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
defer cl.Close()

ctx := context.Background()

// 1.) Producing a message
// All record production goes through Produce, and the callback can be used
// to allow for synchronous or asynchronous production.
var wg sync.WaitGroup
wg.Add(1)
record := &kgo.Record{Topic: "foo", Value: []byte("bar")}
cl.Produce(ctx, record, func(_ *kgo.Record, err error) {
	defer wg.Done()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("record had a produce error: %v\n", err)
	}

})
wg.Wait()

// Alternatively, ProduceSync exists to synchronously produce a batch of records.
if err := cl.ProduceSync(ctx, record).FirstErr(); err != nil {
	fmt.Printf("record had a produce error while synchronously producing: %v\n", err)
}

// 2.) Consuming messages from a topic
for {
	fetches := cl.PollFetches(ctx)
	if errs := fetches.Errors(); len(errs) > 0 {
		// All errors are retried internally when fetching, but non-retriable errors are
		// returned from polls so that users can notice and take action.
		panic(fmt.Sprint(errs))
	}

	// We can iterate through a record iterator...
	iter := fetches.RecordIter()
	for !iter.Done() {
		record := iter.Next()
		fmt.Println(string(record.Value), "from an iterator!")
	}

	// or a callback function.
	fetches.EachPartition(func(p kgo.FetchTopicPartition) {
		for _, record := range p.Records {
			fmt.Println(string(record.Value), "from range inside a callback!")
		}

		// We can even use a second callback!
		p.EachRecord(func(record *kgo.Record) {
			fmt.Println(string(record.Value), "from a second callback!")
		})
	})
}
```

This only shows producing and consuming in the most basic sense, and does not
show the full list of options to customize how the client runs, nor does it
show transactional producing / consuming. Check out the [examples](./examples)
directory for more!

If you use this library and want on the list above, please either open a PR
or comment on [#142](https://github.com/twmb/franz-go/issues/142)!

## Version Pinning

By default, the client issues an ApiVersions request on connect to brokers and
defaults to using the maximum supported version for requests that each broker
supports. If you want to pin to an exact version, you can use the `MaxVersions`
option.

Kafka 0.10.0 introduced the ApiVersions request; if you are working with
brokers older than that, you must use the kversions package. Use the
MaxVersions option for the client if you do so.

## Metrics & logging

**Note** there exists plug-in packages that allow you to easily add prometheus
metrics, go-metrics, zap logging, etc. to your client! See the [plugin](./plugin)
directory for more information! These plugins are provided under dedicated
modules, e.g. `github.com/twmb/franz-go/plugin/kprom@v1.3.0`.

The franz-go client takes a neutral approach to metrics by providing hooks
that you can use to plug in your own metrics.

All connections, disconnections, reads, writes, and throttles can be hooked
into, as well as per-batch produce & consume metrics. If there is an aspect of
the library that you wish you could have insight into, please open an issue and
we can discuss adding another hook.

Hooks allow you to log in the event of specific errors, or to trace latencies,
count bytes, etc., all with your favorite monitoring systems.

In addition to hooks, logging can be plugged in with a general `Logger`
interface.  A basic logger is provided if you just want to write to a given
file in a simple format. All logs have a message and then key/value pairs of
supplementary information. It is recommended to always use a logger and to use
`LogLevelInfo`.

See [this example](./examples/hooks_and_logging/expansive_prometheus) for an expansive example of
integrating with prometheus! Alternatively, see [this example](./examples/hooks_and_logging/plugin_prometheus)
for how to use the plug-in prometheus package!

## Performance

This client is fast, and is consistently among the fastest and most cpu and
memory efficient Kafka clients in Go. To measure yourself, see the
[bench](./examples/bench) example; the [compare](./examples/bench/compare)
subdirectory has code for comparing against other clients.

## Supported KIPs

Theoretically, this library supports every (non-Java-specific) client facing
KIP. Any KIP that simply adds or modifies a protocol is supported by code
generation.

KIPs intentionally not implemented (with rationale):

- [KIP-85](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-85%3A+Dynamic+JAAS+configuration+for+Kafka+clients), dynamic JAAS is a Java-specific auth framework; franz-go configures SASL mechanisms directly via the `SASL()` option
- [KIP-92](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-92+-+Add+per+partition+lag+metrics+to+KafkaConsumer), per-partition consumer lag metrics; franz-go exposes per-batch information via hooks, and `kadm.Lag` handles lag monitoring via the admin API
- [KIP-223](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-223+-+Add+per-topic+min+lead+and+per-partition+lead+metrics+to+KafkaConsumer), another JMX-style consumer metric; covered by hooks
- [KIP-235](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-235%3A+Add+DNS+alias+support+for+secured+connection), DNS alias support for secured connections; users can wire this up via a custom dialer and a custom kerberos SASL mechanism if needed
- [KIP-359](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-359%3A+Verify+leader+epoch+in+produce+requests), adds `CurrentLeaderEpoch` to `ProduceRequest` so brokers reject writes to stale leaders; accepted but never shipped broker-side in any Kafka release
- [KIP-421](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=100829515), variable substitution in config files; N/A, franz-go has no config file (same reason librdkafka skips it)
- [KIP-436](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-436%3A+Add+a+metric+indicating+start+time), start-time metric; covered by hooks
