Package kcat

Generic command line non-JVM Apache Kafka producer and consumer

kcat is a generic non-JVM producer and consumer for Apache Kafka >=0.8, like a
netcat for Kafka.

In producer mode kcat reads messages from stdin, delimited with a configurable
delimiter (-D, defaults to newline), and produces them to the provided Kafka
cluster (-b), topic (-t) and partition (-p).

In consumer mode kcat reads messages from a topic and partition and prints them
to stdout using the configured message delimiter.

There's also support for the Kafka >=0.9 high-level balanced consumer, use the
-G <group> switch and provide a list of topics to join the group.

kcat also features a Metadata list (-L) mode to display the current state of the
Kafka cluster and its topics and partitions.
