Kafka Consumer in C++

Question

I have been searching for C++ kafka consumer. I came across following which are for C++ kafka but there is no consumer.

https://github.com/adobe-research/libkafka (Only sample producer)

https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/tree/master/src-cpp

Does anyone have C++ kafka consumer based on the above work or any new way for C++ kafka consumer

Answer 1

librdkafka's examples/ directory contains a C++ consumer (and producer):

High-level balanced KafkaConsumer: https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/blob/master/examples/rdkafka_complex_consumer_example.cpp

Low-level legacy Consumer: https://github.com/edenhill/librdkafka/blob/master/examples/rdkafka_example.cpp#L395

Answer 2

As a follow up on Edenhill's answer, you can try cppkafka, a high level C++11 wrapper for librdkafka. There's some examples in there for you to look at.
